  1. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    That's the one reason why I wasn't in a rush to push for Harimoto but that said, look at what Felix and Darko did - we can hope. And Harimoto has shown an increase in forehand power and ability doing some new things - even his ability to serve long and get low enough to hit the Lin Shidong...

    Kinda sad given Hugo's absence - thankfully, Euro Smash is coming...

    Now the question can be asked: what may have been if Togami did not upset Harimoto at the WTTC lol...
  4. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Regardless of result, I was clearly wrong lol....

    Watch the Anders Lind interview with TTD and don't take my word for it, take his lol.

    Now we will really see the will power of Hari-boy. I think Hari is done.

    This timeout reminds me of the timeout against Hugo at the World Cup - not a good sign.

    Harimoto should get a yellow card for those extended delays heading to the table. It's clearly habitual and likely deliberate.

    Because of Darko's relative success and because both Darko and Felix are Tibhar players (and Tibhar tables are slippery like Joolas), I hesitate to say confidently that Felix has leveled up. But it does look at this stage like he has in quite a few ways.

    Chen Yi I feel happy for. Tall TT players suffer enough in silence lol. Her story of overcoming rapid growth might inspire a few more. I do want Zhu to win. Might be minor compensation for having her career hit by cancer but this would he extremely satisfying.

    Nah. Table Tennis: we need a paternity test...
  12. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Harimoto uses two calls of faults against LYJ. Killed his momentum as LYJ won the next two points. But anyone who thinks pros don't want to win by faulting their opponent's serves is missing the point completely. He wins the game on serve return because LYJ had to be more careful to avoid...

    Darko had modest help from the Joola tables being like Tibhar tables lol.
  14. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Darko turns the corner! Nice!

    A 25% chance for something that has never happened before is pretty high. I hope you are more right than I am.
  16. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    I honestly think there is something in the software to be more generous to CNT players. Just kidding. But that call made absolutely no sense, especially in light of what Harimoto was faulted for against Quadri. They should take the behind the player's body issue more seriously.

    Looks like we are almost 100% going to get the match we have been waiting for since Zhu unretired - Zhu Yuling vs Mima Ito. I am indifferent because I would very much love for Hashimoto to beat Ito but Ito is on a different level vs defenders so I am not considering it seriously.

    Only Good For Doubles vs World Finest. Does OGFD have a chance? Not looking good so far. Worlds Finest is good at suppressing Avatar states...
