I played 15 matches, recorded 14, and lost 8 recordings because of a corrupted disk. Sucks because I wanted to see some of those points and some of them were against younger opponents that really pushed me. Here is the first Saturday match where I saved 3 match points in game 3. Sorry, it is...

Timo Boll plays a lot of slow spinny loops - where is this suffering against better players that he is supposed to experience because he mostly opens with spin and placement? The correct answer is to do whatever suits your game.

And I rank Liang Jingkun above all those guys on backhand. And there are a couple of other deserving guys so there are lots of wrong lists I guess (Alamiyan anyone? Dima? Franziska?)

Will have to watch the replay sometime to see how commentary influenced TV perception vs being there live. Also, there was a much lower division final between two kids that was between a Puerto Rican team and a local MD club kid. The Puerto Ricans cheered their lady to victory (her pips and...

Ah, the silly discussion about Chinese and European forehands resumes...

Kicking the ball is just bad behavior done for any reason.

Hidden serves are going to ruin this sport.

So I wake up for the final day of the NA Teams - I am not staying at the tournament hotel so I have a 30 minute drive that is very smooth in the mornings when I make it. We have two teams left to play. Depending on whether the teams want to win and whether my rest works out, it is a fun day...

Anyone know whether there is any information on Kanak going to Duesseldorf?

So the hell began this morning as I woke up to find out that we were to face a team full of NY players Inused to play against in East Coast tournaments when I lived in Philly. I was scheduled to face their ace in the very first match, a fellow countryman from the land of Nigeria. His game is...

Not necessarily but that there is time for some gaps to get narrower as experience solving problems is a big deal in table tennis. Table tennis is too complicated to make it exclusively about age, but if Goda was beating Kaufmann, then you have something very, very special. But Kaufmann...

Goda is 16, Kaufmann is 18. That's the story for me. A one and a half year difference is significant.

With Kaufmann, if you don't contain the angles, you lose very quickly if you don't get the ball past her.

Sad joke...very penetrating...

Playing at the NA teams, hoping to see as many of you as possible. Playing on a team of 5 as the 4th ranked players, therefore i sat out the matches most important for our seeding. I played the matches that we were very unlikely to win, and therefore only played 2200+ opposition in 3 singles...

Anyone know what Mia Griesel uses? She hits the ball pretty thick sometimes I wonder whether it us pips on either or both sides and if not at all, she has extremely talented ball contact and an extremely bright future.

Crazy right? I wonder how Ruibo Wen is feeling at the moment.

Etiquette is a funny thing. Nets are part of the game, these are opponents he has consistently struggled against. This was part of the reason why the 10-0 ritual of losing a point had to go, it took you out of your focus. The kid will be fine.

I never tried the Fan but this blade is faster than the Viscaria but has a different feeling from the Viscaria in a subtle way that is more flexy. I think it is better for the Dignics rubbers than the original Viscaria.

She wants to contend for world championships and feels she should be contending already. Her mindset as revealed in the TTD podcast interview with her was very interesting.
