Those young players' interviews will be a treasure when they grow older and reach the top of the world :)

True. Ma Long is generally spoken the best player from the last half a year. We still have to see how long his dominance will last though. If you are dominating your era, you automatically will win WTTC's/Olympics. Ma Long has a lot of WTTC's ahead of him in good condition, so it would be really...

This forum has a huge amount of Ma Long fans ;) They vote him blind in every poll, like I do with Zhang Jike hehe.

@Plasma It would really depend on the type of tournament. The motivation and spirit of players is always top notch at the WTTC. For Ma Long, the motivation is always top notch, but not for all players. It even differs per Pro Tour. For example the Qatar or German or China Opens are more...

Indeed, you bent your fingertips slightly inward, to make a 'bowl-like' shape with your nails being the inside of the 'bowl', where the ball can fit in and spin :)

That is possible too. Using your 'wrong' hand increases coördination.

You're right! I hadn't noticed it xD Maybe he was forced to be a lefty?

Yep, you need quite a couple of tries to get it right, but the percentage of success goes up significantly if you keep trying ;)

I think this is an ad for a T-shirt :) No idea what he says, but it sounds funny :) Little gamble about what's on the shirt: 'Say no to....' Can anyone translate it for us? Haha.

It certainly is. No problem, sorry for taking 13mins off your study time, haha :p

Haha it is awesome indeed. I saw it for the first time when a guy from China came to study in the Netherlands and played at our club. I guess it is something they do as much as we bounce the ball on the table before serving, or stuff like that :p I can do it as well now :) (most of the time ;))

Uploaded on Stiga's YouTube channel. The last part is scary, I wonder how many tries he took haha.

Can you watch videos on YouTube, or on other sites?

His twiddling is very nice indeed, he anticipates and twiddles early, but he often gets it right.

I love that photo rhonis. It is the highest stage that you can achieve. The winner looks just content, the runner-up looks sad, one number 3 looks happy and one number 3 looks annoyed. Priceless xD

Do you get an error when trying to start the video?

He played in the Slovenian Open, lost 4-0 against Zhang Jike I think.

Pretty interesting matches in the first round already indeed :D I hope we get to seem any of them on the live stream. Too bad it seems there is only one TV table.

Google translate is there for you ;) and the exchange rate is 1 CNY = 0.119662 EUR at the moment hehe. That's those badass shoes for like € 30-35 :) Not sure about sizes though :p
