Liang doesn't look right today, Jorgic is on track unless he gets a massive rush of blood to the head.

His girfriend looks overmatched. But it looks like romantic words have infused her with fighting spirit, but I suspect it will not be enough.

The article I cited in response to PPD claims that even in internal practice, the shakehand inverted players were doing better than the pips out penholders. The change was pretty much inevitable based on the easiest way to stay ahead of the curve - if you can't beat them, join them...

Bajor is a better player than many of the players that Bergstrom lost to at the WTTTC in Busan. In any case, next time, I will use an example with actual numbers, I accept this is not a good one.

He has been there for a while, this win isn't it, it's purely a matter of time and age.

Yeah but an ELO is not only about the year or recent losses. Paranang is bronze medallist at the University games. But I did miss that Bergstrom despite losing to such players as Gaponova and Kallberg also recently had wins over Szocs and YJN.

Linda Bergstrom beat Orawan Paranang. I don't have good ELO numbers so if someone thinks I am wrong, they can share, but this I suspect is the kind of example of WTT rankings outperforming the ELO rankings that people tend to ignore when it happens.

Gauzy over Dang qualifies.

Haha, everyone knew CNT would be ready for the rematch. The real test is whether the kid can evolve...

Mentally weak, technically sound, all round still almost impossible to put down.

This is the match I stayed up for - after this Hirano match, I am going to bed and hoping I wake up early enough to see the Fan-Sora rematch.

Hari-boy is playing well.

Batra trying to show that 2022 Asian Cup was not a fluke?

Continental points will probably put all the same players into the World Cup, probably a couple more with the size increase. I do prefer the old format though. Round robin is not a thing for WTT, seems they just want knockouts.

Well, Hirano gotta get her ranking up. She should have beaten Ito at the Singapore Smash and then this would havs been extremely unlikely and she would have had a crack against Wang Manyu as well. But maybe she might do magic again here.

VPN or ESPN3. Only one table so you won't see anything on Youtube if you are in a country that has contracted coverage.

You can PM me or ask on another equipment thread if you really want to know, want to stick to mostly discussing the tournament here.

Dignics in general even outside of 09c is significantly less bouncy than Tenergy. Between 80 and 05 is a personal choice, but if your reason for change is a desire for easy stroke speed vs Rakza Z *on the backhand*, I'm not sure 09c checks that box. But everyone's feeling is different.

ML is to DO -> DO is to MF.

You should have tried something like Dignics 05 or Dignics 80 IMHO. Or even Stiga DNA H. D09c still requires a really active backhand stroke.
