Meanwhile it seems this is the first time Xiao Zhan was coaching in WTTC finals. Either way he looked like an outright villain.I used to adore him when he was ZJK's coach but the episode with LSW really took out my respect for him.

And it is really sad that instead of coming up with an official explanation , ITTF is posting this video with the caption "let service or not" ? ITTF has surely hit rock bottom with this.

As we all know, Timo once told table tennis is not his life . It is just a part of his life. He is playing because he enjoys playing and competing at highest level. Sometimes he wins, sometimes he loses. If he was as serious as some of the Chinese, I bet he would have ended up with 5 WTTC's...

The quality may be worse but I can see clearly that it was the assistant umpire who pointed let before SYS or WMY did and not the other way round. And as per Japanese players interview, it is also clear. What happens after umpire called let is a different argument altogether.

Even though Ma Long was no match for Falck, it was the intense pressure of winning against foreigner in final which made it a tad difficult for ML. This was the only reason for ML's blip during 3rd-4th set. I also like the post match interview where ML told he is yet reach his peak in terms of...

This video angle gives a better clue to sequence of events : https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=368008553812247

The judge called let and the CNT players agreed to the call. Based on experience, I would say that at times "let" service is difficult to adjudge from one side of the net or even both on rare occasions. The judge has a clear view of the net and he/she can call the let even when players are not...

Chill out man. I for one respect the dedication and hard work required to do the clean sweeps year after year. And c'mon nobody is stopping others from doing the same.

ZJK bowed out (or shall I say lost hunger from the game) too early. He had all the resources in the world to work around his injury issues if he wanted. Either way I wish he was still in 2011-2013 form now and we would have had some epic matches to talk about.

ML does it. Settles GOAT debate once and for all !!

Lost at love ( ZJK), lost in the biggest finals (DN) and being slowly pushed by emerging new comers towards the end of her career, LSW showed what grit, determination , hard work and self belief can accomplish. What a great role model for anyone struggling with different things in life and come...

It is highly likely since XD is also an event for Olympics and she and XX make a great pair.

Queen LSW finally gets what she deserved for long. Congrats !!!

As a TT playing nation, Japan has obviously underperformed. In Korea, there is no special medal winning agenda around TT (although it is quite popular as a leisure sport). Still, Koreans have managed to grab the last non CNT Olympics gold as well as medals in recent WTTCs. Mind blowing indeed !!

Just caught up with the semis highlight between CM and WMY. CM in absolute demolition mode. But her form was also red hot in Asian Cup till she choked against under performing ZYL in the finals. So, LSW atleast still has some chance given her experience in big finals. But all in all super...

What a run LSW is having !! Gold in XD . Waiting for the queen to grab the gold in singles as well.

We have to remember that LJK came a close second in Marvellous 12. But I dont think LJK can go through dragon this time. 2021 wttc may be a different ball game.

My prediction for Men's side : QF - LGY 4:2 ML, KN 4:3 LJK, Falck 4:1 Gauzy, AN 4:2 Woojin. SF - KN 4:2 LGY , Falck 4:2 AN F - KN 4:3 Falck Winner - Koki Niwa :D;):D

Completely agree. But I am quite sure about one thing - If Falck reaches final, both LJK and LGY (if any one of them reaches final) will struggle against him in his current form. It is best case scenario for a non CNT WTTC winner.
