Looks like no one got revenge from their last match. Pavade more than anyone else confirmed that she knows how to serve Ito off the table (Ito couldn't get errors from Pavade surprisingly) and that her forehand can damage Ito when Ito lets the ball sit. Got to a point Ito started missing...

Timo defaults to Felix as far as I can see. Should this man be really playing the Olympics? Franziska doesn't help his cause by losing to Cho but since Dang also lost to Sora, I guess there is balance in the force somewhere. And Dima barely defeats Kiril who will be an absolute nightmare for...

Kihara windmill inside out forehand to finish the match. Not common in the women's game or at that level.

Looks like the Koreans came prepared to fight the Japanese women today.

Looks like the revenge candidates are not getting their revenge so far....

You are not different from anyone else, there are many shots I can do in practice but which I would struggle to do or remember to do in a match, even Ma Long and. FAN Zhendong have things they can do in practice but which they cannot do under match pressure against each other or which they just...

They are just talking about your playing level, not really how you play. Because of your relative lack of experience, you imagine yourself to be doing things that are not what you are actually doing and that is perfectly normal. Flat hitting vs looping is not a big deal, everyone plays with...

Poor Sweden, the only player playing well is the one not going to the Olympics lol.

Darko loses go Kiril. Another tough Bundesliga match but I feel for Darko since this is his home tournament.

Which was not the case vs Togami and Kao Cheng Jui and is often not the case vs Felix either. Harimoto really has a talent for close to the table play, hopefully the balance will be struck between his new style and his gifts.

Again: do not confuse my knowledge or lack thereof with your desire to bellyache and tell professional players how to manage their careers. It is always one arrogant excuse after another. And pretending to be omniscient when doing it. One claim was that Hirano had never been straight setted...

The home court feeling is strong here. Very strong here. Even though technically Zagreb should have been Gacina's home court. This is only an hour or two drive from there...

Usually, in table tennis. If you can, it is beat to just try stuff. It doesn't always work out the way you think it will in your head, but sometimes it does. And most improvement comes from technical work until your game is mature so any equipment always needs to ba adapted to. IMHO, H3 is...

Fate... Harimoto was fated to play Alexis...a TT form of Final Destination. That is clearly the match of tomorrow. I guess we get to see whether the path of Harimoto goes anywhere...

Reminder: no one is wasting your time. You are the one wasting everyone else's time. The selection is over, the Olympics are almost here, and all that is left is for everyone to do their best to play as well as they can and beat the opponent by making the opponent play worse. Again, there is...

I agree with a few caveats. Game processing speed is arguably the biggest thing that separates stronger players from weaker players obviously, people need to play at a distance that lets them read the game while not being so far they need too much movement to get to the ball. For blocking...

One of my coaches introduced me to a drill that I use a lot when coaching. So you basically can do this with any sidespin or just straight serves. So I would serve a long backspin serve, a long topspin serve, a long no-spin serve, a long pure sidespin serve (either left or right) and then a...

Stop wasting everyone's time. The JTTA addressed a problem with fairness and now you are accusing them of addressing it badly simply because they didn't get everything right when in reality, they just about provided the only system that would have resulted in the team they currently have as...

Is table 1 restricted again? I know. I am talking about that. He is paying the consequences for missing three drug tests. It should not be easy to come back so that people don't do it for fun.

He missed three drug tests. He will be more careful next time.
