The last 4 shots from Wang were just so unearthly demonstrating great anticipation, decisiveness, explosive body move and lightening speed. The smile on Tomo's face after the game saying I did my best today but my opponent was just too good. My money is still on WCQ on the final regardless who...

Tomo called TO. The facial expression told the whole story. It'd be interesting if someone knows Japanese could translate some of their exchange.

Interesting shallow and deep push were so effective against Tomo. Tomo is still fighting but when Wang is in great form the result is destined.

Explosive moves from WCQ. He is in unplayable form.

Second and third games, Wang changed tactics playing lots of shot games exposing Tomo's weak spot.

Tomo is in great form. He stood his ground in the first game winning majority of long rallies.

I'll put Tomo ahead of LYJ for his fast pace and more importantly, fighting spirit. Lin may have more polished or complete technique but lack of resiliency and the desire to win.

Even with Chen Meng absent, all semi-positions are filled by Chinese women, showing the continuation of their domination. The challenge from Japanese girls still hasn't materialized. On men's side, the lone Japanese player Harimoto is surrounded by all Chinese players. It shows, for all the...

WCQ is a much stronger player than Hao Shuai. Usually Wang's shots are so fast and powerful that his opponents lose the point before they even get into the lob. Seriously, unless WCQ is in a slump, no one dares to purposefully lob to him.

CXT seemed possessed against QM. Most of her shots were so determined and with force, unlike her usual stable style. Maybe revenge was in her mind as last time they met, QM thoroughly destroyed her. If CXT can play like today all the time, her career would be on another level. She has the...

These tieba fans are really mean spirited making a big fuss about just one lob kill miss. If you are so dominant through out the whole match, missing a lob kill is really not a big deal. I'll treat it as a mercy point to the poor opponent. Talking about missing lob kill, it happens to all...

WCQ has just demonstrated how hopeless against him when he is in such a unplayable form. He was in such dominant form that even usually hot-temped Truls was tamed though out the match. The smile of both players after the one sided match showed Truls recognized he didn't have much chance against...

"psychological"? That's too big a word. Emotional is more proper.

Whatever Truls learned against WCQ won't be matter much when WCQ is in the beast mode. Now WCQ is close to that unplayable form we'll see how Truls will fare against such a beast as these two are on a collision course. My money will be on WCQ showing who the real boss is.

That's said before. He is a swing type player who can go up for a few months followed by a few months down. When he is up he is almost unplayable and when he is down he can be beaten by anyone. We already witnessed how hot he was a month before the Olympic, how terrible he was a few months...

By missing two monster kill shots in the last game he had to win, at professional level, Uda's mental strength is seriously in question. Also, the majority part of the whole game he was leading with good margin, he still managed to let Felix close in. These two massive misses resulted a swing...

It's hard not to act sometimes like spoiled child when you have a huge fan base, your teammates, coaches and even the table tennis bosses all love you with indulgence. She is yet to win the Olympics but got more love than any grand slam winners.

Before the men's final, I said I would give Liang 2 games against LSD. Well, first 4 games, Liang played very competitively with some helpful nets and edges at critical moments. He did take two games forcing a 2:2 tie. After that he just seemed collapsed as if his job were done. Tacticlly...

A little confused and annoyed that LJK got lopsided cheers by the female fans as if he were WCQ, probably by the same fans who lopsidedly cheered his opponent WCQ yesterday. Did the fans felt sorry they mistreated Liang yesterday and tired to make up for him today? Or, they just were rooting on...

WCQ's backhand is much better than Ma Long's, especially on offensive side. Though WCQ has the deadly forehand but his backhand is ferocious. Even at defensive stance, most of WCQ's backhand is carried out like counter drive or hard block with decent consistency, making him one of hardest...
