  1. European Top 16 Cup 2024

    Jorgić - Freitas was surreal, I can't even remember the last time I've seen an elite player this powerless, at this level, in this stage of the competition. Absolutely bonkers. That said, Moregardh played a fantastic tournament right up until the final where he seemed to have walked into a...
  2. European Top 16 Cup 2024

    Most of all I hate what the WTTC has been turned into. I miss the magnificence and the grandeur. I miss this: The hell happened?
  3. European Top 16 Cup 2024

    Awful tactics from Truls. Darko appears to be reading his mind, meaning the match prep was meticulous.
  4. How to deal with short very heavy topsin

    You can kill a short topspin with a tomahawk smash if the bounce is high enough. I have a partner who is a brilliant blocker, destroys me every time I play a short spinny loop, even when the bounce is low.
  5. How to deal with short very heavy topsin

    Backhand sidespin chopblock can work wonders as well. Though mine is way more passive (shorter stroke) and far less spinny.
  6. How to deal with short very heavy topsin

    Early on the bounce, close the racket, counter. Alternatively, learn chop block. The tomahawk block works best for me.
  7. European Top 16 Cup 2024

    Truls is the most fun player to watch since Waldner, absolutely spectacular style of play. Whereas Jorgic is the antithesis of that, literally puts me to sleep. EDIT: An absolute machine, though.
  8. European Top 16 Cup 2024

    Man, I thought Truls was choking again for a second there... But his performance in the fifth set was absolutely savage.
  9. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    Nah. Ma Long wrecked FZD in the trials, but that right there was masterclass at how you dominate over a peer. Dang was no peer. Ding literally did not look like a man who does this for a living.

    He's not going to win in straight games against WCQ. And if by some miracle he does, it's not going to look THIS bad.
  11. WTT Singapore Smash 2023

    Speaks volumes about the current state of European table tennis.
  12. European Table Tennis Championships 2022

    This. I was practically yelling at my TV screen for him to call a T.O. at 7-9. When Mattias won the next point it was all over, his psychological advantage had become enormous.
  13. European Table Tennis Championships 2022

    Having a 9-2 lead and dropping nine points in row is the definition of choking.
  14. European Table Tennis Championships 2022

    Good Lord, that choke from Truls. 😲
  15. WTT Singapore Smash 2022

    God damn, I love this stroke execution so much!
  16. WTT Singapore Smash 2022

    There are no matches in progress right now. Duda and Moregard are up in just under two hours. The page says that the official broadcast for India is at the WTT official facebook page.
  17. WTT Singapore Smash 2022

    Great effort by Aruna, though I have a feeling ML is gonna get murdered by Wang Chuqin now. We'll see, hope I'm wrong. P.S. I can live with the side angle, but the vertical angle is just ridiculous. It's borderline birds-eye view ffs. Bring the bloody camera down a little.
  18. WTT Singapore Smash 2022

    Most child prodigies stop being prodigies once they stop being children. They move far ahead of the curve very early in life, but the curve eventually catches up. There are many exceptions, of course, but I don't believe Harimoto will be one of them. There's absolutely nothing genius about the...
