No stakes lol!

Would Lin have beaten Truls if he had getting past Lim? Who really knows....

I think he is just following the results from the national champs

Doo Hoi Kem is back!

Two matches in one day is a lot of fun! Sweden tonight!

My coach told me that I didn't know how to spin the ball. I said, "I do spin the ball". He asked my fellow students (grade and high school students), "Does NL spin the ball?" "Not really." "You drive the ball which is okay for some balls, but if you learn to spin, you can attack more balls...

They likely need a win from Alexis or Gauzy against Germany. But it is better than being on the same side as China for sure.

Has Togami played at this WTTTC?

You can do it with Elmer Rubber Cement to start off with.

Sometimes, I wonder how Butterfly managed to get Fan Zhendong, even as I know they already had ZJK. I would have thought DHS would fight to prevent that. Must have cost a lot of money and political capital.

While much more winnable is a draw vs Germany etc., this more clearly relieves the pressure of failure. No one really cares if you lose 0-3 vs China - TB will still have his day. :D.

If you are in a region outside the USA, then it is on youtube unless someone (like in the USA, ESPN or NBC) has the broadcasting rights since it is an Olympic qualifier of sorts. If you use a VPN set to Canada, you will see the video on youtube.

I agree (for the record, she uses Anti-spin backhand and short pips forehand), though I think the Indian player was "lucky" at critical junctures and was seeing the ball really well with her smashes and counters on that day, but that is what happens in life in any single game/match. If they...

The byes are a gift to the group winners. Top 8 are getting Olympic spots automatically.

Terrible draw, a reminder that seeding usually has consequences. Japan would have lost to Taipei had they foreseen this result lol. Better to face Germany than go through this,.

On serve you can tell trajectory based on first bounce unless with an extremely advanced server, but in rallies, you use the ball arc to judge, but depending on axis of rotation and how it hits the table as well as extreme spin, some things can go wrong but not often. Sometimes, the real...

The worst part is that it eliminates US from the competition.

I know they test before and after the match so what happened during the match to create this situation?

The only somewhat valid excuse for this mess is that it's an Olympics qualifier, though why have a qualifier in a format without doubles is an open question...

I think most people who get rubber glued by others think it is a very scientific exercise requiring precision. Thia is far from true. Table tennis glues are easy to remove with the fingers so the whole gluing process tends to tolerate errors and learning. You can do it wrong and fix it later...
