I think he needs to get more power in his strokes as well. If he gets the power on his strokes that some of his opponents get he defenitely has something extra with the things u mention, like his reaction speed and anticipation. In the end there are barely any Japanese top players with really...

As far as I can see it doesnt hit his shirt, so I'd say it is completely legit.

That chopper is amazing indeed. Maybe he chops high purposely to challenge his opponent to attack reckless ;) There's a load of backspin in them and they are often pretty long, so not smashable at all. I really hope we get to see him more often in the future, he is only 15 years old!!

Isnt that 'When the feeling decides' ? Or don't u mean Waldners book?

That is still just your opinion. There is no TT player that I would qualify as selfish and arrogant. In my opinion, Zhang Jike has built a great image and he should continue to do so.

Okay, that is quite exceptional indeed. Didn't Ishikawa give the current Chinese women team trouble in the World Team Cup?

U should thank the uploader. Amazing HD indeed. Also you can see he adjusted the camera so evry game there was room for Joo to defend on screen xD It's really an amazing piece of work.

Ishikawa lost her match in the teams final 3-0 to the Chinese Zhu Yuling... Anyone ever heard about Zhu Yuling? :O

For me they're on the side as well :)

Yep. That's him. But players often lose that when they get older, so hopefully he will too :P. As a new representative of China you have a lot to prove though, so it is understandable.

Being bored browsing YouTube, I ran into a great video. It is highlights of spectators footage from the quarterfinal Timo Boll - Joo Se Hyuk in truly exceptional quality. Credits to YouTuber MeteoPhenomAisne for this amazing work. Enjoy!

Yea the 2nd guy from the left on the front row is like WHAAAAAAT??

Persistence... Kinda applies to him huh? ;)

China just beat India 3-0, 3x 3-2

Very interesting indeed. They are probably not good enough yet to represent their countries in the Pro Tour. Some of them break through, others don't. Compare it to tennis, where a lot of the Junior Wimbledon winners never achieve a real breakthrough in professional tennis.

In a team event or whatever the handshake with their coach and teammates is similar to the handshake with the opponent. It is not disrespectful at all, just less of a habit maybe. Again it is just how you perceive it. I really don't think there are many table tennis players around who purposely...

Nice! When I saw it at first I thought the guy with the glasses would be a translator haha! Cool that he speaks English.

2 Live streams just popped up at ITTV ;) the semis of the team event are now on, Koki Niwa just beat Tristan Flore. Edit: On ITTV, you need to click 'Junior Events' the 3rd tab above the livestream.

Interesting that there is a team from India in the semis. I read they beat Korea in the quarterfinals.

That's an amazing thing :D Maybe those people can translate their comments with google translate to English before posting them as well to join the discussions ;)
