I Haha... when has China left a reigning champion or a champion in the past cycle off its Olympic squad?

If you like to see people play, then to some degree, you have to accept the winning and the losing. One of the ways I knew Ma Long as becoming more mature was the way he responded after Freitas pushed him. It was 4-1 with three easy games and two tough games at the end. After the match, Ma...

Closed for two days will reopen on Thursday with new floor. Still no bathroom but baby steps... https://video.nest.com/embedded/live/0PC1sy?autoplay=1%22

Ma Long had won the WTTC and automatically qualified to play Olympics in 2020 unless he is too injured to play. The question is can anyone win in 2019 other than Ma Long and FZD to deny FZD? Looks impossible to me but miracles can happen. Ma Long is still a beast.

People still felt Ma Long was the best even when ZJK was winning all those titles and Ma Long was losing all those matches to Wang Hao. It says something.

The more I think of it, the more I think this is why he thanked Zhang Jike. It would be interesting to hear what they say to each other behind closed doors. But I look at how Jike handles adversity and compare it to Ma Long and you can see that more recently, when Ma Long loses or faces...

No, it can't be unless Niwa does something to change his body, Niwa lacks the power to out rally most players at this level. When he played in France, I heard a rumor (not sure if it was TTFrenzy or from another source) that many players said the same thing, if they get to the rally, Niwa and...

His stock game is serve, receive and third ball, the problem is that he is not going to beat FZD at any of those things and he is not going to win the power battle either, FZD's power is highly rated, but his consistency is very underrated - he is probably the most consistent player with best...

The guy who beat him won the bronze medal. You can't do much worse than that. And ZJK actually played him the best other than FZD. He made Samsonov look like a beginner, and Wong Chun Ting look like he needed to learn how to play forehands again. Lee Sang Su deserves more respect than being...

I am having the same problem on a lower level. You have to find ways of containing the more powerful and faster players, Ma Long just has the control and enough power to do it. I am realizing that I have to resort to more spin variation and tricks like Ma Lin and Ma Long, otherwise, you will...

Reminds you of how good Zhang Jike was before 2015. People forget this. But it has to be said.

It is tough to go watch in all these knowledgeable TT countries where the seats will be full, that said, I will try to make that one as the teams event is probably more permissive and I know Nigeria will field a team.

It wasn't misleading other than "role model" - I understood exactly what he meant. He has always been trying to catch up to Zhang Jike and now he finally has. You will find the same dynamic between Nadal and Federer and even amongst non-contemporaries like Jordan and James or Nicklaus and...

You know, after seeing LSS beat ZJK, Vladi and WCT all convincingly, I asked exactly the same question. I mean, FZD beat LSS 4-0, but ML beat XX 4-0, and XX is CNT#3. And LGY, who almost beat CNT #3 was beaten by ZJK during Asia tournament. Bad days happen to everyone, for me ZJK should play...

With the kid's style and playing time, his health is not a given. Just saying. Ask Zhang Jike.

Why didn't these "better" players beat him - why did FB do badly during trials? ZJK, he beat all of them during the internal practice for the WTTC including Fang Bo who you want to replace him. Everyone has bad days, the guy has made TT more exciting than any of the people you want to replace...

Amazing. Simply amazing!

I can't go into every single detail about it since a lot of this is gut feeling but I watched the Dima-Niwa match live, I Watched it again in parts, and I am still lost on what you are trying to say. Cultures are also different. I could probably tcho more if I was in Asia as it looks very...

I played some matches this weekend at my club and on the road. Trying to figure out and work on a few things. 1. I finally learned a couple of interesting things from all the EmratThich videos I have been watching. One was that he said that high toss serve was supposed to have low energy and...
