One player is always praised for his shot quality, the other is always praised for his tactical genius. Of course real life is not always so clean to those who have not stereotyped the players already...
Really liked watching the last 4 sets of this battle between Gardos and Angles. The sound effects were awesome and the styles blended together to create some amazing points.
Actually, the information here gives the Shinozuka vs Uda match a different interpretation - it might have in fact been forced by the Japanese secretly lol:

Somehow I feel i missed this yhread even though I saw the video on YouTube. Amazing stuff and I wish he had discussed the countrerloop. Moregardh would make a lot of money as a webcoach....
