Never expected Samara to reach the final... Hope she can at least challenge Liu Shiwen. xD

Although I don't follow tennis, I think this belongs here. :p

China and Japan are fighting over a couple islands and it's getting worse every day. I haven't really followed it but it seems that if Ishikawa as a well-known Japanese travels to China then the tension might hit her as well.

For your backhand I think you should try to hit more forward instead of upward. Now your bat ends above your head, while it should end to your right side, around shoulder height. That way you can generate more power and a more solid stroke. Also try to use your body rotation some more. I think...

Yeah Yuto Muramatsu is becoming a great player.. It's sad though that he had to play two players who are great against defenders (Zhou Yu and Patrick Franziska). He and Koki Niwa could make a great team for Japan in the future.

Last year the ITTF decided to organize a contest to find a new talented match commentator... It seemed there were so many talented people out there, that they've chosen two instead of one: Sebastian Hallen (check out his experiences here) and Jonathan Cowen are the new Voices. And now The Voice...

That chop was already out of an impossible position, but that last shot was just awesome haha. He's so fast, he can play nearly every shot with just his forehand.

I think I've missed something.. How did Bai He make such a big jump?

He left the U18 ranking after December 2010, so I think he's 19-20 now.

Yay. :D Bit of a surprise because this was actually the competition I knew the least about. Anyway thanks for these competitions Dan, they always make tournaments more exciting. ^^

Great episode! The LA open showed how close top 200 players can actually be to top 20 players.

Indeed this one's awesome! :)

Maze pulled out.. ;(

This XL-table tennis (multiple tables and a higher net) is actually really fun. It takes more time and effort to win a point but you still get the "table tennis feeling".

Go Maze! :p If he kept the Olympics' form then he surely has a good chance altough I don't think he'll beat Xu Xin or Fang Bo.

For the first(?) time there's a real winner. ;)

To be honest I don't think Persson will win alot there. But hey, at least there's a European. :)

Wow you don't see a lot of players diving during play anyway, but this being at the Paralympics makes it even more amazing.

Wow look at the poll... Everyone has a chance I guess.

Don't know most of these players. :p Anyway: Class 7: William Bayley (GREAT BRITAIN) Class 8: Zhao Shuai (CHINA) Class 9: Ma Lin (CHINA) Class 10: Ge Yang (CHINA)
