IT would be interesting to understand what she means by your serves being above your level. 1) I know what it means in the context of people who generate more spin on their serves than they can play behind and read. 2) Or maybe you would win at least 3 points per game off an opponent who...

The longer you wait to practice, the further behind the eight ball you will be. The hours add up significantly, trust me. Even just one year of intense practice of 10 mins a day can reward a lifetime of play. And the earlier you do it, the better, because as you get more advanced, the quality...

IT's funny that the top players are in Kuwait while the national champs are happening...

Yes, it's a bad habit. I've always justified it by saying that I don't have the time to get in the reps to build the muscles so I need to serve more reps. I think that I do have enough experience with my serves now that I need to get better at making the details work and trying to get better...

Your statement is funny. In other words, Timo Boll doesn't exist, because Timo Boll rarely loops the ball past people. Again, it is all about shot quality. You either back them off the table or force them to loop a falling ball. But at that level, all balls can be counterlooped. As one...

So what would be an aggressive return then? A return that wins the point outright? You still haven't answered the question. What's the opposite or contrary of aggressive? Offensive? Controlled? Defensive? Passive? (Shaking my head puzzled...) IT's not just the spin but the depth of the...

Isn't a topspin return of a serve an aggressive return? Or do you mean you have to kill the serve to be aggressive?

You must have the wrong time stamp cited...

Guys, over analyzing a win in which both players won almost the same number of points but which ended up as a 4-1 victory because one player won the more important points is not going get anyone passage into heaven.

If Fazekas is your coach, you are very lucky to have such a high level coach!

BTW, all the same players are in Qatar this week. So we will see if their attitude to anything changes.

IMO, they obviously have merit. The Kuwait Open is not going to make anyone play their best per se. And ZJK had lost so many points in the past year that his seeding needed to be fixed.

5 out of 5 rating for Vega pro Blade This is one of my two main composite blades, and is the debatably faster one with better feeling for power loops and heavy pushes. I use the blade with Xiom Omega V Asia on both sides. The blades are high quality and come with plastic topsheet coverings...

YEO is not all limba outer. And JM ZLC is not all wood. I think the new Samsonov Force Pro Black edition and various 7ply Clipper variants are contenders. Mizuno Fortius may also contend. The problem is that for fast all wood blades, you need to make the blades thicker and that affects...

That one was different - he was called for illegal serves and he was playing in Japan. ZJK wasn't yet ZJK then either.

Japan has a fairplay and rule following culture that frowns upon such...

I mean, Samsonov could have won game 1 and won game 4 with the right approach. Tang Peng went up 2-0 on FZD and was tied in the 3rd game before things started falling apart. And some of the shots TP was taking were full commitment shots that are not his usual. Mizutani took SO MANY full...

I have had many such losses before having my best victories. I expect Mizutani to experience the same. The fact that he came back after going down from 10-7 up in the third game and being down 7-9 in the 6th game is in his favor. He just has to do it at the Olympics.

Come on Dima - don't waste the day - beat ZJK!!!
