I use Opera for ITTF tournaments and don't remember any major problems with speed. And it is a commercial quality VPN in terms of security despite being free. The other options will take you down rabbit holes unless you want to part with cash. That said, it might be different if you are not...

Draw is not according to world ranking but rather according to Tour standing.

Dima was mostly injured and played a much smaller schedule. Otherwise he would have made it. Timo played a smaller schedule as well but is more lucky.

Using your efficiency metric, he is still in the top half of that list. And everyone else on that list is at least 5 years older than he is. Why does he have to collect more to justify the hype? Other than Benedikt Duda at the Swedish Open and Filus at the German Open, most of his losses have...

All this is theory... post videos of your loops vs chops or reference some advanced player in a video so that we can see what you mean... a lot of people say a lot of stuff but don't want to show what they mean with video.

Congrats, Champ!

He should have calculated a bit harder as playing Xu Xin or Fan Zhendong in your first match is not how you want to play in these events. That said, he may decide not to play.

With LGY's regression, I agree this is possible. But LJK has to convert on major opportunities and in trials. This is where LGY usually has the advantage.

It looks like Chen Meng is adding Zhu Yuling's skills to her repertoire. Zhu Yuling is clearly trying to develop a more offensive mindset now though after the Ito debacle last weekend. But Chen Meng is just staying in balance and taking advantage of Wang Manyu.

Well I think this was his easiest path to be honest as difficult as it was as he beats these players in the Super League. The real issue will be how he performs against the top foreigners. He has done well for the most part but the Jang Woojin loss is the other end of the spectrum. The...

I saw what you saw as well. The kid is 15. I repeat the kid is 15. It may take time for people to fully appreciate that. But the kid is 15. Xu Xin escaped with the second game and that allowed him to take more risks. I think this match was actually good for Tomokazu as it exposed something...

By the way, I am not picking on you specifically so I apologize if it looks that way. I know people who ask why Adam is pronouncing Xu Xin as Shu Sheen or things like that. I don't know what the correct way but I will defer to the guy who hangs around Xu Xin and has likely pronounced his name...

It's obvious he does this, it is the people who suspect him of not taking his job seriously that make me shake my head. I don't admire all of Adam's choices, but he is clearly a professional who takes his job far more seriously than many of us would. He is clearly learning Chinese, but people...

His movement is still like when he lost weight which is the most important thing.

Someone heard the translator complaints and they brought out Liu Jia...

The Chinese Taipei team is the one team with lopsided skills - Two amazing forehands and relatively weak backhands but those forehands can trouble anyone including the top CNT.

It's you - she has always looked like that since she trained after her injury- she is easily the most powerful CNT player since LXX retired. WMY may get there one day on sheer length.

That was SOOO wrong!!!

It's hard for anyone to play that way consistently and Xu Xin has higher quality than most. But Harimoto can still adjust to that. XX has to be careful.

The ref/umpire for the Xu Xin - Harimoto Tomokazu match is Paola Bongelli, who infamously called Ding Ning for her low toss reverse tomahawk at the Olympic Finals in 2012. Good to see that she is still in the game.
