Some of you will know him, but it bothers me that his vids get so few views while they are so incredibly amazing! :P Check out this guys channel haha.
Haha good luck, u could go with Matsudaira for the suprise, but I don't think it will happen. Jun is as used to him as he to Jun. If someone else wins it would be Oh or Ryu I think. Chuang does have a chance as well by the way.
U might be right. Just see what a new coach did to Michael Maze.. But Dima is still young and I don't really think he is stuck. He had a tough time when he was accused of using illegal stuff and now he recovered. He has proven that he can beat practically anyone apart from the Chinese players...
This guy is a very strong player in the Dutch Eredivisie. He doesn't have the best footwork, maybe an example of the type u mean Carl :P But he just has so much feeling, and then it is possible. But for those people their level would be so much higher if they actually were in good shape and...
Sriver on BH seems very possible considering most of WH's BH loops and flicks are extremely spinny and relatively slow compared to other backhands. Of course there are not many penhold backhands to compare :P But I believe those are real, why would it be not possible to take a picture of them...
But that is sort of unfair to those who are like top-20. It would make it even harder for them to get into the top-10. Same with Asia-Europe and Penhold-Shakehand. Are u 100% sure they count for the WR?
Haha some of their blades look really cheap like WLQ's. I bet it is not but they look like that xD. Cool post! DHS on FH, Butterfly on BH seems the most common setup for these guys. Would that mean Butterfly rubbers are a little slower in general than DHS?
@Reiin
You are right there. I was just taking international appearances into account. But in the end I think those count because he will have to face players from all over the world at the OS. And u can't tell wether Ma Long would have beaten Zhang Jike because they didn't play each other there...
That is pretty interesting indeed. I had a similar match although I didn't do it on purpose. I played against what we all considered the strongest player in the competition. I was 2-1 ahead and lost the 4th set 11-1. Then I won the last 11-6, but I can't say that it was my tactics haha. It could...
I'm so glad that Zhang Jike is going, he deserves it. Simply because he wasn't the easiest kid to handle he didn't get on the Chinese team earlier on while he has better than all the other players. And Wang Hao for the other spot is pretty obvious I think. Also because it is a sort of tradition...
@BollForte Does China vs World count for rankings? Would be weird.
I find the most suprising names in the top ten always Mizutani and Samsonov. U hardly ever hear of them in pro tour events yet they are there. I wonder if Ma Lin gets a place in the OS if he keeps up his current performance level.
Especially if both players agree the umpire should not try to force her own will. In the end we have neutral umpires to make sure none of the players gets an unfair advantage. That didn't apply here because both players agreed that it was Wang Hao's point. So in fact the umpire is not needed...
A lot of umpires hardly speak English. It seemed that the umpire wasn't gonna listen (wether she speaks Chinese/English or not). They were trying to explain it but all she did was looking away from them and she kept saying LET! Wang Liqin then had to choose for either showing a little disrespect...
