If Harimoto and Togami play each other, it will be well deserved - their draws are filled with landmines lol.

Dignics 05 is not as fast/bouncy as one might think and the touch demands are not as high as Tenergy 05. In fact the whole Dignics series is very ball holding, maybe not on the tacky level, but definitely moreso than Tenergy. There is a reason why it is popular on the forehand with these top...

It is good Kanak did well in India, the few times he was forced in Germany, nothing special happened. And of course, we have his mixed doubles in Houston with Wang Manyu as well as another data point. Nikhil Kumar has family business interests that interfere with his TT play, I don't know...

Sid is willing to play off balance strokes without recovery which is a fundamental requirement for strong doubles play in between shots since your partner is there to give you more time to recover. Neither Kanak nor Lily practice this (their strokes are all contained and singles oriented - even...

They both suck at doubles so....

They are lepers but 3 years is still a long time. They just need to play and see what happens. They should take matters into their own hands though I suspect Hashimoto playing the Japanese league is not helping matters. But they still have time if they really believe they can do it. The other...

Looking at yhe insane results all over this qualifying draw I feel better about my recent struggles lol.

In these smaller draws it is becoming somewhat inevitable without separation by association.

It was really interesting listening to Isaac Quek. His position was that to beat top players now, you have to focus on improving yout rally skills. I think on some level i have accepted and resisted thus at the same time. I need to move away from resistance.

I sometimes wonder whether Yuan Licen is really a CNT member or whether he trains in the proverbial Liu Guoliang basement....

This is an incredible match in the level of cat and mouse. Hugo's commitment to the first strike is absolute. Congrats.

That's why I want yo see him play Felix and Truls. To see whether he has truly improved or whether he will be exploited with variations of the same old play. Those guys are wily coyotes. He did struggle against Alexis but Alexis is not a true believer in holding the table or hitting the...

I don't think they are worlds better as much as that he is committed to attacking hard behind them and holding the table a bit longer. He still gets too comfortable extending the rally against some players to his detriment.

Trying another equipment switch will see how it goes. I tried the Viscaria SALC when I got it with D80, D05 and D09c and settled on D05 because D80 didn't "spin" as as much as I wanted at that time. But was that really true? Time to find out as I use the SALC with D80 for a bit and see how it...

Of course you are allowed to criticize Harimoto, stop exaggerating like Shine, the issue is that your criticism comes from a place where your lack of exposure to top level.players and coaches shows in how you make recommendations that many other top players have tried and failed to implement...

I am exceedingly positive on youth. But Harimoto knows the assignment and has worked hard at it, but the gaps are still real and no one knows whether they can be plugged. But he is young enough that one can only hope. But none of that addresses his current and past gaps and that is what was...

For sure he is a bit of a head case. But so are many good players. Time will tell.

Well, there is always another tournament. I am not as down on Togami as you are, and I was more happy for Darko because these events need their home champions to keep the crowd extra engaged. While Togami has dominated the results, the matches have always been close. He was due with the home...

Given how the match went, he really can't complain.

Jorgic defends his house!
