Anyone know what equipment Gauzy is using? He is putting too much spin on the ball!

Fan Zhendong, Harimoto and Timo Boll all out at the same time. How could I wake up to all these results????? Gauzy, come on! Take what you earned!

She did. She is truly zeio's friend!

Looks like she cannot do your dirty work for you...

When I think of the word "fierce" in table tennis, why does my mental dictionary always feature "Doo Hoi Kem" next to the the word?

I was in a meeting at work and missed the Gauzy match. I have to watch it in full when I have a chance - it is too important for me to just watch Highlights more because I am a Gauzy fan - all wood blades for the win!

Gacina is as tough an opponent in the first round as anyone else. A top 20 player just underrated by the new system. Boll played really well - it wouldn't be his first loss to Gacina if he had lost that.

Let me put it to you another way so you can appreciate it better. Harimoto Tomokazu lost to Ruwen Filus last year. Is the appropriate conclusion that Harimoto is not good vs choppers? Or that a 15 year old needs get more physical strength and likely some more experience playing against the...

This is weird - Dima won his Olympic bronze in 2012. He won his World Cup in 2017. Which one is his peak according to you? Dima is a good player no doubt, but what happened to him at this WTTC is not that different from what has happened to him at many WTTCs. When he lost to Lee Sang Su, you...

IF you mean Dima is the more accomplished player, sure. But this is not a matter of form. Pucar's recent results have been strong enough to show that Dima is not losing on form in that matchup. It is entirely your prerogative to disagree. But Dima's form is entirely fine. If he had played a...

Anyone who says Harimoto doesn't have a good forehand is smoking weed of low quality.

Whoever wins the WTTC is going to the Olympics next year. Ding Ning is already going. If Ding Ning wins again, then the spot is still up for grabs.

This could be a sad day for Japan if Harimoto doesn't win as all their men could lose out today combined with Ito's loss.

Sorry, guys, but Pucar is the better player - nothing to do with Dima's form.

The match showed the disadvantages of pips play starkly though. You could see how limited Ito was when she had to continue attacking with her pips and the ball was not in her strike zone. She had to take pace off the ball to keep the ball on the table and then Sun Yingsha came back into the...

What do you mean? Miu Hirano is playing well :p

Li Sun wants people to translate his coaching now lol. Sun Yingsha making him look great lol.

Is he still under 20? I thought he played the U18 WTTC too long ago. Thanks. Ah, Dec-25, 1999.

He still isn't yet 18. Losing to a chopper of Gionis quality (who also has a nuclear forehand topspin) is not a big deal.

If you watch many sports, you can see that this is true for many many sports. As DerEchte pointed out, the problem is that table tennis is a cheap sport without money and stakes so things are allowed to happen that would not be allowed if there was more money in the sport. If people were...
