Wow, Liang shows it is possible to still outshine Lin on the backhand. Crazy.

Mo played yesterday and Pauline played a few hours ago. Do better, Panamerican schedulers. This is even worse in thr case of Kanak and Lorenzo.

Cifuentes is really strong. Plays well in French league. A good dark horse pick.

Butler said Ishiy was playing with a rib injury. We will see how much of an impact it has when he faces the solid Cifuentes.

It was his first match and not his hoke club like Kanak, I suspect he would have done better with some cannon fodder in a prior round to get match sharpened with less pressure.

He finally figured out he was winning the rallies and stopped trying to end the point in the first 6 shots.

Don't waste time on equipment for forehand. D09c is good enough for anything you need Hurricane for unless you are really powerful. The real question is whether you are okay with D09c speed on backhand and if so, the answer is training, not equipment. Work harder at producing more variation...

You mean in XD, since LSD is pretty much a lock as well. The question will be whether she plays singles or not and that is pretty open. I am sure SYS and WMY are still ravenous and I suspect CXT and WYD have not entirely yielded either though KM is clearly capable.

Duran is in MLTT by the way. Well past his prime to play in MLTT despite being an 11 tine national champion (Robles has probably stolen his lunch lol). And he loses his fair share of matches too.

@jk1980, While even in the USA, ratings can vary slightly from place to place, most of the players above a certain level travel enough that their ratings are accurate and I would consider that 1700-opponent at that level. People talking about how a player looks often don't see what he does well...

Sometimes I think calling these CNT players robots especially on the women's side is the highest compliment. Chen Xingtong clearly spends too much of her life in bullet time. You are not supposed to rally with Ito smashing at you like that...

Didn't realize it was now best of 7. Uda gets a consolidation game.

This is always level dependent you don't get to a high level at anything the way you start doing it. It becomes better with practice.

Anyone who doesn't serve short at a pro level makes all kinds of mistakes, the problem is whether you can see the miatake or whether it is so subtle relative to your level that you miss it. Of course some.serves will be hard for you to attack but that is part of your level. But training to...

All I gotta say is that Liang and Chen better not have a baby... will give too many people heart attacks with near losses and crazy comebacks.

Nah, half those shots Hayata hit would have killed any player not on the CNT. It was really amazing to see Hayata under pressure in rallies where she was attacking. She needs to experience that on a regular basis but I am confident that thr Chinese will never let Hayata anywhere close to the...

Nah. The female Liang Jingkun lol. Her doppelganger is trying to do the same thing to Jang Woojin as we speak.

It is amazing how Hayata just can't overpower Chen. Truly amazing to watch.

Daniela Ortega is interesting. I wonder why we don't see more of her in the mix for these titles.
