-revives thread- :) I'm not sure if people who don't live in the Netherlands can watch this, but anyway... Danny Heister (Former Dutch champion for many, many times and Düsseldorf's coach) was in a TV program this week. These guys wanted to know what's more important in sports these days...

I wonder what would've happened if Mattenet took the got up 2-0... :) And yeah I love Saarbrücken's team as well, all three main players have been growing the last year so I wonder how far they can get here. It seems like Samsonov's really getting slower and slower now, though Freitas was...

Congrats. :)

Wow great interview. 30 mins of service training per day is crazy.

Oh yeah, I forgot to include Tang Peng. 34 (17) Tang Peng What happened to him? :l

Koki Niwa is now number 1 on both the U18 and the U21 ranking. And I looked at the rankings of January 2011, just some changes over the year I noticed: (between brackets is the rank in January 2011) 1 (2) Ma Long 2 (4) Zhang Jike 4 (10) Xu Xin 5 (1) Timo Boll 14 (6) Vladimir Samsonov 16...

Now I know why I couldn't access dttl.tv anymore. :p

Anyone know why Zhang Jike/Xu Xin are first seeded, above Wang Hao/Ma Long?

The bathroom was on your balcony? Haha haven't seen that before.

Sure do want to visit China some time.. Not only because of table tennis, but also because I love their culture and attitude, the big cities, buildings, small towns, nature,... I'll be following it. :p For how long have you been in China?

Well there's not really that much fuss around it, but in this vid you can see that first the umpire gave the point to the wrong side, then the score at the bottom went to 1-1, and during the replay you can hear him saying it right: 0-2.

Samsonov really closed the gap in the end, during the first couple days Ding Ning was really far ahead of the rest. What I liked a lot about her shot was the crowd's reaction. I was there in Rotterdam and when she played it, everyone was like "Huh, what happened?" so everyone directly looked at...

Wow I watched the video of when he was 7.5 years old, the progress is amazing. He's so much faster now. Made me think of Koki Niwa haha.

Well yeah, ofcourse I watch TV sometimes while eating dinner, but not in a restaurant. Or is this their regular way of dining? :p

Haha I love their reaction. They're so into it, even during such dinners.

Ma Long and Zhang Jike are my favourites, but I like Wang Liqin, Jun Mizutani, Koki Niwa and Joo Se Hyuk as well.

Yeah I've been watching him at the WJTTC as well.. Sure hope he can follow up Joo soon.

It hit dumpert.nl as well: http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/1895541/38faf8ed/t_tennis_trickshots.html 46k views so far, flash video. (it's a site that's mostly used by people between 15 and 25, where they dump all kinds of cool, funny and impressive videos).

Well, they do have muscles.. :p But what's way more important in table tennis is speed, tactics, technique and (Chinese!) mentality.
