The answer is yes

Is it a hot take to predict an Oh Junsung victory over Hugo here?

It does really feel like Dima will never get his form back. Also, USA MLTT > TTBL 1

Did the French head coach care to stop Lebesson from serving so illegally?

Who is wrong about what? NextLevel that Simon has gotten opportunities to train with the Lebruns since they emerged as world forces and likely benefited from it to some degree? Or me that the Lebruns outworked Gauzy on the table? I know you are so sure that I'm making up fake news but before...

I hadn't gotten around to replying to this thread but glad someone said it. The shot that OP is practicing is a counterspin off of a push opening and generally you are going to be close to the table for this shot. Was confusing to see why everyone was suggesting to be farther off the table...

Agreed, but also expected at this point. Montpellier was an outlier because they had the benefit of still being able to ride the wave of the Lebruns and their Olympic gold being a national news story.

It is Tuesday afternoon and the round of 32...

Matches always run behind because of how much time they allot per match in the schedule. But yes as the tournament winds down there will be more of a break period in between. Fan village is always a joke.

Totally fair :)

So pretty much everything is wrong here but here are a few of the most noticeable: 1) You start your backswing when the ball is already crossing the net back to your side 2) You drop your arm/the racket 3) Late on the ball/letting it drop 4) You aren't overcoming any of the spin on the ball

Right so Gauzy entered the senior circuit in 2012, so what are we talking about as "much of his career" here?

What a sad comment. He was clearly referring to Gauzy keeping things closer with the Lebruns due to their familiarity gained through practicing together, but you are desperate to find an argument lol.

Correct. That is in line with the definition of "much" according to the actual "arbiter of words" aka the dictionary. Do you not acknowledge it would have been better worded to just say it is a recent trend?

It is very different. Let's not be dramatic. I'm not calling for anybody's retirement nor discrediting Gauzy being a great player. That by definition....is not being good enough to win :p You seem to consider taking a few games here and there, and keeping some games close, to be the definition...

I didn't remove it lmfao. And I wouldn't need to when it's a wall full of losses.

Hana Goda too. Stiga did well in the era where all wood was still feasible, they got too cute with the carbon blade technology and being mysterious it seems. They don't even make it clear what exact carbon or fiber is in the Cybershape.

I will just say it is great when you know some pro players and coaches and can get inside information on who went out drinking too late last night, who's injury is bothering them again this week, or when there are plain awful lines to abuse since many books aren't great at setting TT lines. But...

Gauzy has had a 17 year career, 5 of it in juniors and about 12 of it as an adult. Let's not act like "Much of his career" is a vague term or like two (2023-2024) out of 17 years qualifies for "much of" by any reasonable definition. It is not moving the goalposts when that is the timeframe that...

No clue what this means or who said anything about dead rubbers but enjoy the matches.
