Looks like Brazil is going to win as Ishiy comes back from 0-2 vs Kumar to dominate Kumar in the last 3 games. Tsuboi likely too experienced for Kai Zhang.

USA vs Brazil now tied 1-1. Even without Calderano, Brazil is still very dangerous. They won the doubles and Jouti is capable of beating Kanak. So the match between Kumar and Ishiy is critical but no guarantee.

The sad thing is that even without CCY, Chinese Taipei still has a strong enough team to medal. They should really be more willing to think broadly. Chien Chen An is now really strong again.

The Panam Championships is going on right now (surprised you have no thread) and may be a direct test of your theory as 4 players are playing singles (Juan Liu is the only one not playing).

If you gave as much context to your shocking statements as you provided in this post, then you would come across as more in tune with table tennis.

Shocking fact of the tournament - Juan Liu, who has no world ranking, wins it all (let's ignore that she has by far the highest USATT rating of all participants).

Sure. Facts like Amy is young and improving escape you, don't they? Or that she had a 3-1 lead the last time they played as pongfugrasshopper pointed out?

Yes, but the event that matters is the Olympics. People need to find the right compromise.

You have to know the poster before responding to such comments. He acts like you don't need to put the results in context to understand them.

https://www.ittf.com/2019/09/02/chuang-chih-yuan-leaves-team-chinese-taipei/ I hate it when internal politics causes these issues. They finally have a really strong team too.

Exactly. When Kanak was the #1 in the U18 rankings, no one seriously believed he was the best U18 player in the world but it still made it clear he was an elite player and talent.

I watched the Amy vs Lily match live. Amy pretty much attacked Lily's serves to the point it became a joke to watch. Amy pushed Juan Liu as well in the first 3 games. Her forehand has improved but I am not sure why exactly as the technique still doesn't look right. Unfortunately I didn't...

The Master but I shaved it to make it more Korbel like.

Depends on what you are using for glue, but your glue jobs are lumpy and uneven. Sometimes, removing and regluing rubber causes the unevenness with new layers being formed on unevenly attached or unglued layers, either on blade or rubber. But porous rubbers respond to such unevenness more but...

The "Table Tennis keeps you looking young!" campaign.

"Trying" is not the same thing as "playing with", moreso because trying usually means "looping" and rarely means "blocking" or "pushing short" or "returning serves" or "playing matches." If you prefer the Carbospeed, then you should be playing with it. Since you are a good player, like Carl...

This is my point precisely. You are using blades that are not faster than a 190. Yet your first instinct is to use a 290. So why the decision to use a faster blade when you are not currently using a faster blade?

So what blade do you use right now?
