If Uda and Shinozuka never play a match in this tournament, do they get medals? Asking for friends... seriously...
More seriously does it hurt team spirit if Uda and Shinozuka never play in this event but they win gold medals?
Took more than one game for sure. And it also took Lin precious time to realize basic chiquita will.not woek vs Harimoto and that he needs to take real risks. A good match and it probably takes the mystery out of the whole tie like Coton did yesterday. The X factor is Togami lol...
Truls doesn't have the same backhand topspin. A good one but not a great one. And Truls doesnt have a lefty teammate with a strong backhand topspin either. Truls ability to disrupt arguably hurts his ability to play straight TT sometimes and sometimes that is what works.
When Hari wins, this is the patter. He serves to get a flick to counter. But when Lin starts flicking with morr quality it becomes Russian roulette, you cant tell what is going to happen anymore.
Wow a ghost push....
Tomo takes a timeout already. Interesting character... but I guess when Lin is using his best shots for counterlooping practice, he feels lost and needs solutions.
Not playing Wang obviously means they were not at the max level. But what was really dumb on the part of the Koreans was not try to anticipate and replicate any of the successful matchups from that match. Obviously pulling ZQH made it harder but it was something they should have thought about.
Well they have data on Feng vs Togami from TTBL and I suspect it is not good. Gotta take some risks. Even if Lin can win two, they need someone else to win one. But if Harimoto can take the first match, he will end the match immediately lol.
They just didn't watch the matches. Anyone watching those matches and thinking those players lost on purpose should nominate them for Oscar Awards and build a documentary designed to win Best Documentary at the Oscar's as well lol.
Boros is targetting something. Good luck to her.
Seeing the pairings Germany correctly predicted Hashimoto at #3 and Mittleham plays choppers better than Kauffmann. Not that much better but definitely better. Kaufmann is kinda atrocious at the moment even with her recent 2-3 vs Han Ying at...
