    How can he screw up teams he didn't even coach? The ladies coaching team is basically the same. The men won the team event. The women won the team event. In the singles, it was all Miu Hirano. For the men's Ma Long lost despite having his usual coach. Xu Xin lost with a new coach, but with...

  9. Ma Long records first loss in 5 years!

    Obviously. Ma Long has said as much. See here: They need more time to adjust to it, and they had a significant advantage with the old ball in terms of manufacturing and quality for their team to use. That ball was really terrible and they practiced the most with it by far.

    We have a non-Chinese finalist! Niwa wins in dominating fashion. The match was not as close as the score indicated. Maybe the Nittaku ball is all we need to end Chinese domination...
