  1. German Open 2017

    One of the most significant losses of Yan An's career was to Dima at a World Cup in 2013 or so. So I wasn't expecting much here Yan An couldn't handle the pressure and the crowd. He also couldn't get Dima into any forehand to forehand rallies which is saying a lot. IT's unfortunate the way...
  2. German Open 2017

    Yes. https://d3mjm6zw6cr45s.cloudfront.net/2017/11/MS_Main_Draw_GER_WT_2017.pdf_0.pdf_1.pdf_2.pdf_3.pdf_4.pdf_5.pdf_6.pdf_7.pdf_8.pdf
  3. German Open 2017

    That tomahwk serve toss is probably illegal but no one is going to call it in Germany...
  4. Backhand blocking finally clicked for me

    Wish I could congratulate you but while it is okay for matches, blocking with topspin during most drills causes people to miss. You need to learn to block flat or without arc.
  5. German Open 2017

    Ueda is a very underrated player and has been for a very long time. Doesn't make the Japanese national team but I doubt the team would perform much worse if he replaced Oshima for example.
  6. German Open 2017

    Watch LGY first, when he is done, pick one one of the others.

    Karlsson was the sharpest player I saw in the qualification round - the way he killed Gnanasekaran was just bloody. Boll better wake up and get crowd support.
  8. The New World Ranking System Explained - January 2018!

    But you will have to qualify for round of 32 in most events. That is the part you are missing. I don't think the formula is right, but I am sure it can be adjusted if necessary.
  9. German Open 2017

    IT's obvious that ZJK is half the man he used to be - I mean even on his worst day he used to beat Appolonia.
  10. German Open 2017

    She was never down 1-3.
  11. German Open 2017

    Monteiro beat Ovtcharov. Aruna took Dima to 7 games. If Majoros plays like he has so far, he has chance.
  12. German Open 2017

    When someone ranked 220 in the world beats Aruna, you know it is a depressing day for me, especially when I couldn't see the match... Then I find out he is only 20 years old and had beaten some good players (Groth) before, and he goes on to beat Monteiro in impressive style (I love his close to...
  13. German Open 2017

    I know you love China, but Monteiro ITTF ranking is 51 not 20. Thanks.
  14. The New World Ranking System Explained - January 2018!

    I am not sure about the points per tournament, but I think this new ranking system is a move in the right direction *if* it gives the Tour a better product and encourages more sponsorship with better players playing more often. I think that over rewarding participation may hurt the quality of...

    Here is my match against my buddy - he has improved and come down a bit because he doesn't play as much because of his son and our club situation - my strokes have improved but my play has come down because of our club and my injuries. We used to play a lot at the old club but since we moved...
  16. Cornilleau Simon Gauzy Quest Blade Review!

    What a creative player!

    Stop right there - he won the match!
  18. Gauzy, Pitchford, Calderano, Kallberg - Who will be the most successful?

    I think you are underestimating Gauzy who is only 23 - peaking at 23 is a bit much, especially since he has been French champion and almost European champion. And even if it is his best ever ranking, top 10 is still a lot - there is no guarantee that ZJK would beat him head to head today.
