I get the belief and Sun is a special talent, but the lesson of Zhu Yuling, Liu Shiwen and the pandemic is that don't act too much like there is something other than the present.

She isn't going to win in November. I think one of her teammates will get her, likely Wang Manyu.

All is fair in love and war between teammates.

They had to rush their approach to developing him. The footwork and forehand issues are still real - that will be his battle for the next 2-3 years. But he has skills that are unteachable on defense, but he needs to be able to impose his game and not just counter. That's part of his game that...

Wow wow wow wow....

Game 7! Does Ma Long have a chance?

Dima is in a zone.

Can we get two classic game 7s in one day at the same Olympics?

Dima can legit win this.

Fan would have been suicidal if he lost that. Let's be happy with the result on some level.

Ma Long is Ma Long but I fully agree.

That has to be the best table tennis match I have seen at the Olympics since 2010 for sure if not all time.

Yu Mengyu took out all the higher seeds in her bracket. Amazing stuff. Predictions: 1. CM 2. SYS 3. MI 4. YMY Desires: 1. MI 2. YMY 3. SYS 4. CM Singaporean Desires(might make CM suicidal by the way): 1. YMY 2. SYS 3. MI 4. CM History Making Desires (might make CM suicidal and MI really...

Interesting how Harimoto (replaced by LYJ) and Calderano (replaced by DO) couldn't defend their seedings. Predictions: 1. FZD 2. ML 3. LYJ 4. DO Crazy Desires: 1. ML 2. LYJ 3. FZD 4. DO German Desires(might make FZD suicidal by the way): 1. DO 2. FZD 3. LYJ 4. ML History Making Desires...

The players who showed up deserved their spots no doubt. Hugo continues to be a head scratcher, beating Jang Woojin but can't finish games vs Dima. At least we know Harimoto's problem (he doesn't have the footwork and forehand mentality to seize the point). What is Hugo's excuse? Poor mental...

Dima knows how to get into his head - this has happened in their past matches as well.

Lin won't be bringing something that Fan hasn't seen before but his return of serve was relentless. But that is what the CNT staff and training us for - they have players who can replicate that level if aggression in practice. Even Ma Long would be adequately prepared to deal with it. Though...

I think this was more than that though. He probably fell apart because of the relentless pressure that Lin put on his serves.

He lost to Boll as well. Maybe his next project is to get into a room with Freitas and figure it out. But the kid is good and he is likely to dominate Europe for a while.

This is true, the backhand serve won't affect Lin the same way. The attacks were relentless though.
