Nah, it is the Chinese coaching staff you underestimate. Unless you are like Miwa and continually evolving at too rapid a rate to pin down comfortably, or using long pips which thry do not have time to clone yet, they continually improve the practice clones and countermeasures against your...

Does Japan want to sub Miwa for Miu at the Olympics in Paris?

Despite his loss to Lin Shidong, Noshad "the Wizard" Alamiyan reminds you why you have no right to complain when someone serves you off the table and blocks you down at the club level by doing it to world class players and winning points.

I understand where you are coming from. He does use a lot of British slang as well but in the modern world, I guess we are supposed to be open to all kinds of diversity.

He still got to match point so whatever scar power the point had, he recovered enough to get his chances.

Bobrow has been doing this for about 10 years if memory serves me right ans has spent a decade on tour in various capacities. There were people who complained about his commentary in worse ways than you are complaining about Fraser when he started. His humor wasn't always appreciated either...

The glue layer is part of the calculation. That said, there is a reason why some pros and even some brands max out at 2.0 or 2.1 in the sponge they buy/sell and it is because it is easy to go over by accident.

Truly regrettably.

Fang ZD and Wang CQ are men's side and they have been far ahead of everyone else for too long, it has mostly been a race for the 3rd spot but not really a race either, ML is clear front runner.

We are agreeing with different focuses, your term "advanced veteran" underestimates Adam's level. What Adam knows in commentary is not necessarily going to satisfy a better player than Adam, Adam is rated around USATT 2000-2200 (TTR 1700-1900), which is strong enough to satisfy many players...

Ma Long and Koki did it, maybe not as effectively as Ma Lin.

Post meltdown recovery is impressive. Hari-Boy vs Flashy-Felix!

He would need a better backhand but no reason why he wouldn't be a top Chinese player, the guy was a ridiculously special athlete.

Because they didn't expect Wang Manyu to lose so early but they also have know for a long time that Fang and Wang and Sun were in. This not news to anyone. The fact they haven't announced the last woman in Singles is likely their way of saying that Chen Meng has a genuine chance to make it if...

Wow, Felix looks decoded!

Barely scraping by Pucar isn't entirely fair to Harimoto, Harimoto's underestimated edge against most players is his pushing and serving game, but Pucar's height makes it easy for him to attack balls over the table that other players would struggle to get to without giving out major effort and...

Mizutani and Niwa made a serviceable doubles team. I am sure Miwa and Miu will figure it out at some point. One of my high level coach friends remained adamant despite any argument that I gave him that doubles was largely roulette and that I shouldn't read too much into the results. I never...

I don't entirely agree with this, but everyone has different opinions. Advanced players like you can use anything. For a player who is not advanced, the most important thing is to get into the mode of topspinnng on both sides with ease and using something that is designed to facilitate that...

Yeah but how is the Miyuu and Joo Cheonhui pair working out? I am just saying that two righties always have a lot of work to do to get on the same page. They will get better, it is just going to take a lot of work and time, and doubles is rarely prioritized.

By the way, did you notice that the makeshift doubles team we were giving Hirano and Harimoto flack over losing too also beat the Chinese Taipei team 3-0?
