Great Jakub! I checked how he plays against lefties (Timo) - he can play down the line on both wings ... What do you think his chances are against XX?

Thanks Raineverever. If I may Brendt and Tropical, PLEASE no more comments on this topic. It has rather little to do with the projected "Pan-European Alliance" we are building here.

We have an international company on this forum and I wouldn't want anybody to feel offended ... In the western countries the deprivation might happen on a very different levels, "decentralized" and hidden. Regarding the realities of how China's training system works, also in the aspect of...

11-4 Timo

Konrad, what did Kuba do to you ?? It's a great success for him regardless of Fang's condition ...

Thanks Tropical. I guess we have young people commenting and not everybody remember the days of the communist regime. Sport's role and its position is definitely different in the "market economy" than it had in a centrally governed countries back before 89'. I would also say sport was more...

So ... "european style", with euro/jap rubbers would be generally inferior?

So ... what do you think happened with the idea? EU teams do not have specific training to counter the Chinese style any more?

So the idea is to "increase the pool of talent". Also in the long run, Sweden was able to win WTTTC 3 times in a row, 1989 - 93'.

Be my guest and make posts about the tactics too. Although J-O's might be a bit outdated, don't you think ...? Besides spreading tactics, increases the education.

I dare to say, incorporating players from China won't solve the problem. Despite some issues regarding if they would be a real representation of the sport in a particular country, they still would need to have a good training conditions and again rely on those limited resources ...

Yep, that's why I just created another thread for this, please feel free to read/participate ... https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?17354-Could-EU-teams-cooperate-closer

Hi Zeio, any link?

Hi, so the topic is not new, because there was some discussion about it on other threads. The idea is, should/could EU national associations cooperate closer, specially before big events like WTT(T)Cs? Notice we are only talking about EU, not Japan, Korea or i.e. China. The trigger for such an...

The more I watch those pictures, the more upset I am ... you know why Raineverever, right? ; )

Ha ha ... not getting into this discussion. It's a transitional period now for sure and a general paradigm shift.

If Ma Long drops down to #7 and Ding Ning drops down to #20 something, it's a joke ... yes ; )

If you want to know how "Defeat" looks like .. that is The Picture. My gosh, so unfair for China players. I was cheering for Andrei, but even loosing he'll still have 100s of chances, for Yu Zhiyang it was one of the very little.

Super material.

Sure, but just this "good continuous hydration" part. Does it mean to drink like specific amount of water every hour or so ... for weeks before the tourney? What I found out for sure is that drinking water between sets, helps me to be relaxed.
