I guess ZJK just says what he thinks, maybe not always smart but he doesn't lie when someone asks his opinion. He sets the bar high for himself because he loves playing under pressure, that's when he is at his best and enjoys winning the most. That is an attitude I like, not being afraid of...

Yea gonna be very interesting. All the matches are great matchups. Boll - Joo, Oh - Jun, Zhang Jike - Mattenet :D Join us during the matches in the chat lounge guys ;)

U made some really nice points after all Sarah :D I even saw Ding Ning show a fist after a point, that's a great compliment to get against such a player.

Good thing he's a lefty. Might make it easier to find a suitable photo haha. XX is clearly looking happier on the second photo, so awesome :D

Thanks!! Zhang Jike has the easiest group, that's good :) He can have trouble with Dima though. Boll will have to fear when he sees this. Oh might just beat him again :D

If there is some dust on my rubber, I just use breath to make it moist and wipe it with my hand or arm, or a towel or my shirt :)

I agree, they made an exception by not sending Hao Shuai to the WTTC Singles as well. However I think Zhang Jike has less chance to lose a match than Wang Hao. Especially if Wang keeps his current shape. Zhang can be quite lazy, but I think in a tournament like the Olympics he will easily beat...

I agree. There will be so many people wanting that autograph at the end of a match. If 1000 people want an autograph and it takes 3 seconds per autograph, it will almost take an hour (and an injured wrist probably) to give everyone an autograph. :)

I don't think Mattenet can handle the world top yet. Mizutani probably has a good shot, but I'd love to see Oh in top shape getting far, and maybe Kishikawa can get a good result too. It's gonna be exciting for sure :)

That's a great group of players. I'm curious if ZJK is back from injury as well. With him and Timo returning from injuries and Wang Hao not in top shape, it might just become a really thrilling event.

I believe a club like Charleroi also gets money from local government because it adds to the name of Charleroi as a city. Also Belgium has some good juniors at the moment like the Indeherbergs and Lauric Jean right? I think there will be good players from there within some years.

I think he tried to serve over the table at 10-0 but it just caught the table haha.

I don't think that Ma would feel too good for that either. At least judging from the documentary about him he seems a very nice and humble person.

No problem Dan :) "The idea of China isn't only to have Chinese trainers in the academy but also top Chinese players." At least the top players that we have will have good competition to practise against ;) Also this might mean that some of the Chinese top players will come to play in...

I just read this article on TableTennista.com: A Chinese table tennis academy in Europe? Romina Concha Nov. 8, 2011, 1:24 p.m. Photo by: Donn OLSON, WSA, courtesy ITTF During the World Team Cup in Magdeburg, a Chinese delegation led by Cai Zhenhua, Chinese Vice Minister of Sports, visited...

Kaii Yoshida :)

Thanks for the update :D Some great rallies in that video!

I really hope he will be back soon :D I already liked to watch his Euro-Asia matches where he wasn't in top shape, can't wait to see matches where he is in top shape ^^

@Michal_Z Consider this: the game isn't over until it's over. We say and hear that all the time. If you give a point at 10-0, the opponent kinda should give you a point after that. So at 10-0 the end of the game is already determined at 11-1. While (theoretically) the person who is 10-0 down...

That's amazing indeed :D Thanks for sharing! Very cool to see Persson coaching Wang Liqin haha.
