I last beat this kid over 2 and a half years ago. If someone had told me that I had to play the way I did 2.5 years ago just more consistent to it again, I wouldn't have believed it. But it turned out to be the case.

Lin Gaoyuan lose too. Amazing.

Lang Jingkun about to lose barring a miraculous meltdown from his opponent. It's tough being on the CNT.

I'll be in Dupont Circle. I'll just go to WDCTT and hit with Charlene at some point in the evening. Not the end of the world if nothing else happens. And if I don't play, it's okay too. DC isn't another galaxy to me (I just got called out the last time I showed up and didn't tell people I...

Should be in DC from tomorrow to Friday. May visit a couple of clubs but may also not play at all. Depends on my mood when I get there.

FZD will win. Home cooking helps the chubby man more!

I don't like a variety of balls (Butterfly G40+, Old DHS) and it is isn't entirely objective as I can play at the same level as I currently do with both of them *if* I practice extensively with them. Without practice, my close to the table game suffers as it is based on precision and my serve...

I have been testing balls for as long as Baal has and I haven't found anything he says to be outside of 1% of what I believe. I have test just about every major variety if 3* ball. Because I coach and still play rated events, ball price and quality are big deals to me. BTW, I strongly...

Amen to that!

I agree -you can see that they are doing specific new things designed for Hirano. They are pushing her serve extremely heavy much more rather than pushing to get into a rally. She served her topspin kicker to Chen's backhand and Chen looped it without hesitation which Hirano was completely...

I watched the match. There is a lot of good stuff in there still. The problem is that Hirano is still unable to appreciate what she did to the Chinese and thinks that the degree to which she beat then should have given her some margin. But what the Chinese have done is study in great detail...

Great seeing Ma Lin on the sidelines, he did make it after all.

If we made FZD 4 years younger and gave him a sex change, he would play and look like Sun Yingsha. The Lady is impressive.

But ZJK didn't blame his situation and Samsonov did not blame his age. I haven't seen the LGY match yet, but LGY beat Boll yesterday so unless you know something I don't know, let us give LSS nuff respect and stop saying he used anything to beat them.

It really depends on the total level that LSS displays. ML did lose to JSE after all. LSS is going to play Mizutani and that will say a lot.

So the million dollar question is - Should LGY retire??!?!?!??! Sorry... couldn't resist after people were piling on ZJK and Samsonov for losing to LSS...

Without video, the problem is impossible to answer.

For the doubles, they should have an automatic rule that when a country is to face itself in the Semis, they should end the semis and do a group of 4 round robin for the title, best of 3, all play all, games are to 15 with two serves rule. Automatic rule only applied to situations like Japan...

Whatever the explanation, it makes absolutely no sense. It doesn't matter the explanation, everything I think of falls apart when considering Japan's current TT status and the 2020 Olympics.
