And loses qualification round!! Persson lost against Japans Asuka Machi 11-9 in the 7th game!

Lol Persson has to play qualification round :S

Trick question: If you serve with backspin against a little kid, so short that he can't reach it and it bounces back over the net towards u (legal serve). Is that an ace? xD

With reverse serving it is harder for the opponent to see the difference between more side-backspin/more side-topspin. Also the 'behind the body' serves are pretty good, not because they are behind the body, but also because the difference in back/topspin is hard to see.

I think it is good to do that at his age. Last year especially he demanded very much from his body, playing a double season and tournaments. He paid for that afterwards, and from then on he only played the big ones. He and Maze and Persson and players like that don't need all the Pro Tours to...

I think they do, but I believe the test can be quite inaccurate sometimes. So that could be a reason for suprising results :P And I guess Torben can hit harder than that :P 50 km/h means that you can't hit a ball faster than a cyclist drives his bike :P. For a tt ball that is really slow. Tennis...

In the Netherlands some people have done it too with the speed test thing... I think they didn't have people from the World record book though. Jelle Bosman hit a 130 km/h so I don't think the current Guiness record really is a record :P Professional players should be able to go over 150 km/h I...

Well it is certainly not HD :P But what can you expect... It takes really professional equipment to deliver HD live coverage. This would be a very expensive investment for the ITTF, and they don't get any income back for it, since the livestream is free to watch. Considering the fact that the...

Why is Dima not there? or Maze? or Samsonov? :O

Congrats :)

Wow I never expected this :O Maybe Ma is a little down these months? Funny how he only loses to players that won't be at the Olympics :P Well Koki probably in the teams.

No. 2 looks the best to me xD And by the way, no. 7 is Gudmunder Stephensen (in grey) against Casper ter Luun. ;)

Ah, time to watch and vote :)

Hm theres no video?

Lol with his Tenergy T-shirt. I wonder if he used a Tenergy forehead :)

Amazing! Really interesting interview :D About that topspin from Boll that Teuffel can't control: I heard it more often, I believe Julien Indeherberg talked about it too after he played Boll. It looks like a normal topspin, but there is so much more rotation that the ball just bounces lower than...

Everybody loves TT :) Look at that smile :P Could be the liquor as well though xD

He has had trouble with a back injury and some illness for quite some time now I believe. He had a very busy year in 2011, maybe he is paying for that now. He doesn't want to take any risk with the Olympics in sight, so when he has a small injury he withdraws from a tournament. only very...

Joo didn't have to dive, and the ball bounced, though not much. Plus he used pips :P

Why is this event smarter set up than our Pro Tours? :p
