No changes to the match. It would be fascinating to do an experiment where Jang was raised in China and we see how his game turned out (Chinese coaches always say this about the top Nigerians lol). You don't get players as fast as Jang growing on trees. He ans An might very well have been...

Jang Woojin is making Xue Fei look like an amateur. More convinced than ever that Harimoto has undisclosed issues. Though to be fair, the 1-0, 5-1 point was ridiculously good. Could change the match...

She couldn't read the no spin chop at all. It was embarrassing in game 4.

CNT women going to spend a lot of time with Ma Te...

Two steps back for him is not enough unless he gets a predictable ball. Most players take more than two steps even Feliz is playing back further. Ultimately he needs to find a distance where he can play positive strokes. But he was not able to do it today. But he has done it before and will...

The match point as well is worth watching. Togami's shot selection is very interesting. As with all things, work in progress!

It's not the reflexes but the stubbornness to stay close to the table and therefore lack the time to switch and hope that the opponent will not aim so well he cannot block. If he is injured like I think he is, that is what is causing it, you can see in game 6 of the Wang match, he really...

It was a very close match, dominating might not be the right word, but he wasn't bullied on the forehand for sure, it felt very often like Togami though he could just hit winners there but when it turned into a rally after some of those "winners", Togami was often caught off balance.

I think it was after /during the last match with Wang. Ever since then he has gone back to his old game and has been slow again, even at the last tournament before this. He can beat some people playing that way but not the best or tactically aware Asians. Hopefully he will heal enough soon...

I am biased towards it, just trying to be fair to people who see it differently.

Oh Sangeun.

Its a two winged forehand though, not the typical big Korean step-around-and-murder-you forehand.

She played the way someone who is taking their best chances exactly should play. Took some risk to disrupt Wang's game and the probabilities worked out in her favor. Of course. Wang's inconsistency will be a part of the discussion but I think anyone watching the match would be very impressed...

12-10...

The win is clearly the result of a lot of hard work. Good for her.

Diaz has lost a lot of size to my eyes.

He looks injured in a weird way, but I suspect he will push through until the tour slows down.

The EJ Bug persists - the next target is the Cybershape Wavy. The main benefit of the Cybershape is that it suits my natural grip way better than other blades because of the handle length and wings. so I will give it a shot and see how it goes.

Ratings got processed from the Myrtle Beach tournament and I am over 2000 USATT again even if barely. More points to donate to the underrated Texas crowd. Though my mild reprieve is that the kids most likely to beat me all came out higher rated than I did at Myrtle Beach.

He meant what he said and I think there is justification for his position even though there is clear and strong grounds for disagreement.
