No one forgot her, she got surpassed by *very strong* younger teammates. Actually in 2017, after her WTTC silver medal, someone on mytt said that Zhu Yuling had lost her chance that the ones below her are too strong. I was puzzled by this statement, but I think he turned out to be 100% correct...

More important to have a lineup that wins, IMHO...

I do think you are analyzing the switch in the wrong direction. I think many more players would struggle if we went back to a 38mm ball. The spin element was much higher back then. It would also allow less athletic but more touch oriented players a place. It's no accident that as the ball has...

Stef at mytt graciously corrected my statement (since the World Team Cup is a team competition) by posting this video which happened a few months later:

Retire, Zeio Senpai! This is now ancient history.

Oh, and Ma Long wins his 5th Olympic TT Gold medal. Fan Zhendong has a lot of work to do!

The Olympics Teams event went perfectly according to seeding on the men's side.

Timo Boll was the last guy to beat Ma Long in international team competition. Probably over a decade ago now. Says a lot.

He would have beaten them anyways. He beats whoever is in front of him - that's the story and I am sticking to it.

So what do we say about two-time Olympics singles gold medalist vs Olympics singles never-been-better-than-quarter-finalist?

Is it just me or has one of the biggest benefit of covid19 for TT been the elimination of that disgusting table sweat wiping habit with the palm at the net?

Well, Franziska has beaten FZD before (yeah I know it was a slump, but he has). And the real thing is that Dima has to win this match.

The current match is the most obvious opportunity - Dima vs FZD. But I still think the match will be 3-0 China.

I thought this doubles match was "Venom 2: There Will Be Carnage" starring Ma Long and Xu Xin but they at least allowed Germany to have some hope in game 3 like game 1 before showing how Germany had no control whatsoever of what was happening. Blood all over the table.

They really exposed the Koreans in serve and receive. Congrats to Japan.

Japan made a robot that could hit half court basketball shots. This idea might not be as crazy as it seems - but let's try conventional methods first and boost up Hayata and Pravade.

At least they didn't lose to Germany this time - silver linings... At least Hong Kong made the tournament exciting for me - I am always happy to see Han Ying with all her soul-stealing screaming and glaring lose to a non-CNT and non-JNT player. Happy that there are still non-CNT and...

If you combined Hirano's game with Ito's relentlessness, you would have a pretty strong player.

At least we know pips is not the answer. Let's see if it begins with two letter H's or two letter P's.

It is what we call a "gentleman's sweep" in basketball. China doesn't want Ito to become suicidal and they keep the sport popular and interesting.
