At these moment it'd be great if Togami can lend Harimoto his forehand

Watching Harimoto vs Anton, his forehand although improved still look strained and awkward, but there's a certain threat to it. While Togami dishes out attacks on both wings none other JPN men can but you still don't feel like he has the upper hand on the opponent. Harimoto is like a skilled...

nah, it's the old Togami for the whole match, three first set he started overwhelmingly with at least a 3-4 point lead but then just get out of steam by the later stage (2 set point in 1st, a set point in the 3rd and a 9-5 lead in the 2nd). Luckily his rally skill was sharp today so we had a...

Out of all CNT fandom that blew up recently in Vietnam, those "Shatou" fandom is dead annoying and ignorant. I actually like WMY/LGY cp fans and especially Fan ZD fandom, much more lenient and informative.

there's just not much to say about the game, Cho got trapped in Togami's rhythm but Togami were lucky that his success rate were just enough to overcome his errors. Almost no attemp in close table push, just reckless attacks from start until the end. I think next year Harimoto might have a 3rd...

Beside Harimoto can alternate between blocks and counter which makes Lin unable to increase the pace as he wish to. This was the same case we've seen when he's dealing with Fan ZD, but Fan was able to overcome by pivoting while Lin can't. Trying to rally like Togami and he'll push Lin out to his...

Rewatching the match, it seems that this level of Togami is on par with his 3-1 win in their last encounter, but what have changed is LSD has learn to defend better and to slow the pace down when needed, which in turn invite Togami to make more mistakes. If he could learn to vary his pace rather...

He had a lot of of 5 set matches in this tournament, I think it partly improve his strategic thinking

nah, dumb ahh Taiwan coach can't even take off his hat to see the flow of the match. It's clear that in set 3 and 4 Wang's ball quality has risen and the original strategy of suppresing the back then go for the forehand kill doens't work any more. He should've called TO for Lin at 10-8 but dude...

this is the best Miwa I've ever seen, I hope she can fight steadily in this last 5th set

Japan is just barely breathing against Korea, all those year teaching your youngs to play fast backhand now their forehand is helpless

one crucial detail I noticed from Ri and Ham Yu Song, they lack a clear snapping action of the forearm which prevents them to have an advantage during short countertopspin exchanges. They overhit a lot of forehand loops from Alan and Kiril

it's only day 1 and we've already got the contender for best team match of the tournament. NK player's technique is essentially the old Chinese style so watching them delivering fh blows is satisfying, but at the end they lack the variance in their game to make it through the home team

for once, Lind is probably on a victory high atm, but imagine telling Chinese you just beat their no.1 on their home soil on their national holiday, ouchie! Well I hope he can be more mindful of his word next time, the win was well deserved, just ignore WCQ fandom, they'll come up with a hundred...

Kao has put hard work into his forehand and it pays off today, abeit with some edge luck in long rallies. I pray Kishikawa beat some wit in Togami's blockhead, serve/receiving is all over the place, 4 set points in game 2 and couldn't convert, 4th set riddled with forehand pivot errors. Only...

Thanks Sora for showing us the true color of Truls, what a twat. Screaming in the opponent face, then laughing at the opponent serve, if you feel like the serve is blocked just complain to the referee

well at core they are die hard table tennis fans, those groupies just jump on the couple shipping train and they won't give a damn about tt in general

Wang Chuqin fandom has always been like this, heck even the Chinese fans don't like them

she looks overwhelmed, maybe it's because she hasn't played against pips recently, I wonder if Ito helped her with the pre-match prep

it can still be used but try not to remove the glue layer each time you reglue it
