I work as a table tennis development officer, it's not fulltime but if I'm on a 6 month contract and it's a really cool job, means I get to spend a lot of time playing and training and also coaching. It's not huge money but hey, getting paid to do what you love and having money left after...

He was a little short on reply so it's good I asked more questions this time I think.

Gerdie Keen's younger brother, I didn't know that! :) glad I did the research hehe

OOOhhhhh....that's pretty hardcore man. Top 20 in the world but only just. Trinko Keen from the Netherlands he was only top 20 for 2 months I think?

I was thinking Patrick Baum but his teeth are worse than that :S

Left handed, tall and loopy

Skachkov is pretty epic. I think him and Franziska are rising with the young French players at the moment. I think Franziska has huge potential. Personally I don't know what to make of Boll at the moment. WTTC will be one to observe ;)

Very much a preview I think, they are not ones to repeat mistakes and losing to Singapore was a mistake last time, they didn't play their best team. They won't lose the WTTC this time :)
