Don't overthink it. You are playing someone who is 300 points higher than you. Making tactical or playstyle changes isn't likely to change the end result. He could probably beat you comfortably no matter what tactical adjustment you make as he will be able to adjust just as easily if not more...

I was surprised at how well Habesohn still plays and then realized he is only 38 despite looking more like 58.... still has something in the tank

Closing out the 3rd would have helped. A closely contested 2-4 as Afanador moves on, will play Ly next.

Definitely. 2nd time around helps with that.

Didn't hear that but I'm guessing he did in fact mean to say crowd favorite seeing as this is being held at 888 and he trains here. 2-2 now and had a chance to be up 3-1...playing well, but finishing this match won't be easy.

Sid blew too many chances to close out the pivotal third game, that might be costly

This has been addressed all over the forum including in many of the threads you have opened yourself.

Afanador and S. Naresh should be one of the more similar R32 matches level-wise, but Afanador crushed him last time they met. I think Sid will keep it closer today.

One of the biggest differentiators I notice between pro-trained and non pro-trained amateur players. Many coaches will actually punish their students for not attacking serves that go long. The earlier one can get used to doing this, the better.

As it is against many people. Apart from the level difference, forehand only, rip-everything players are a type of style that Eugene generally destroys.

OJS didn't stand a chance against HYZ, what a difference 22 months makes

Yeah Xiom tried their best to recreate the 968 and he clearly just didn't like it. I believe he terminated and signed with GEWO and is still using a 968 lol. Not really a code to crack...the Lebruns just were able to seamlessly adapt and it may have even suited them better, though it was really...

Let me be a little more blunt. It does not take pro players 6 months and 1000 training hours to become acquainted with equipment and how it plays. This is simply a fact. They are able to make all the adjustments to get a proper feel for the strengths, limitations, and characteristics in a pretty...

I'm aware, as I said, if 3 months of professional training hours isn't enough to get used to it, it may just not be for him.

3 months for a professional (especially with how much the Koreans train) should be more than enough time to get used to it, though he is clearly struggling for one reason or another.

Eugene also lost to Mino deuce in the 7th at the 2022 Pan Am Games after a late controversial call that made Eugene lose his cool. He lost to Ishiy that same year in one of the other Pan Am events in the Brazil/Canada teams match, and also again in 2021. I am probably splitting hairs over...

We are talking about Oh Junsung and Kao Cheng Jui, not you.

If Jha and Ly meet, it will be in the semi. Ly ends up in the best quarter that he could ask for to make a deep run though Gomez and Jouti on a good day can be a challenge.

I wouldn't be so sure...

You also aren't a top 40 player in the world lol.
