Not in any special way. The hand shakes are usually just as routine as the ones in TT sometimes worse.

How many sports do you get asked to shake hands with the guy who just beat you after a difficult loss? It is a difficult thing and the TT players do just as well as everyone else IMO.

Gauzy is being overpowered like fruitloop and others predicted.

I don't know whether she choked vs Zhu Yuling. That tournament was a big deal to Zhu Yuling

I get tired of arguing. Lefty - righty combination helps in table tennis. Two good players also help. But lefty righty helps with the movement as people can use their movement to complement each other. That is why Morizono and Hayata tend to play with Ito. Ito and Morizono.lost to the Germans...

Must the mixed doubles team be from the players in the Team Event?

I know it is usually one match against the Chinese that people use to remember what Ishikawa does but go back and watch the matches on the way here. They beat the German team that eliminated Ito and Morizono.

Not sure what you are trying to say. Yoshimura-Ishikawa are righty lefty and have been to 3 championship finals in a row now (2015, 2017, 2019). We can get on Ishikawa but she is a key part of that success.

Great show. Yoshimura might have earned himself a spot in the Olympics - not sure what the eligibility criteria for mixed doubles is.

Matchups are matchups, scores are not matchups. Ma Long's backhand is going to be under severe pressure like FZD's and LJK has the most stable backhand blocking game in CNT. Don't take Ma Long killing one CNT player to imply he will beat another. PS: Yoass said it best, everyone's game...

That first point was coaching genius or tactical adjustment from LJK. Just blocking! Come on LJK, stop attacking!

Clearly a combo. He is junking LJK and LJK isn't mentally there. But LJK has game 7 to adjust.

This is Mind-Effing of the highest order. Will he pull it out?

I like the fact that Parker has always felt Ma Long was the greatest player he had seen, even before Ma Long had won anything. This was around 2011.

Ma Lin gives a big middle finger to the machinations of Xiao Zhan. Liu Shiwen in, Wang Manyu out.

In 2015, Xu Xin beat Yoshimura and Ishikawa and his partner was not Liu Shiwen. Is the mixed doubles final result really in doubt? I guess that is why we play the matches.

Ding Ning is already in, only one more spot is open unless CNT want to change their selection policies. I also suspect they want to give the Olympics a narrative with Ding Ning going for another gold.

History is good but I think there is something about LSW"s new style that CM and WMY have to deal with. It is not going to be easy and in fact, I think WMY has a better chance of dealing with it as she can take the ball later. Oh and your analysis is correct, just trying to give LSW a chance lol.

Very important to get your facts right unless your goal is to troll.

Liu Shiwen has gone Super Saiyan. If she plays like this no one has a chance. It is like short pips strokes with heavy topspin.
