its a wandering circus

in the first round she might be facing a "weaker" opponent

hope we don't see some high profile Chinese players withdrawing from the tournament at the last minute

I think grip is a very personal thing and you should do what works best for you i use the same grip, i.e i don't change my finger positions between FH and BH but for BH i close my wrist while for FH i open my wrist in a markedly fashion and it can cause me trouble sometimes when the pace of the...

yep and he will score 2 or 3 spectacular points against a good player in a match, to put in a video, and lose largely the match

ah I see what you mean ! don't worry for this. Sessions are 2h long and we do maximum 10-15 mns of free play at the very end of the session. usually 1st hour (and a bit more) is drills / footwork. Then we do sequences/patterns or perhaps some receiving or serving or practising flicks for...

there is also the selection for World Team Championships which happen before the Olympics. I think it's stupid to make this competition in an Olympic year, but hey thats ITTF. I believe the both the CNT and JNT may not send their best players there.

yeh the most likely outcome is the team will be those 3. There is still an outside chance of Hayata being chosen for her doubles ability as its quite obvious Ishikawa is a bit hopeless in this discipline. But then its still possible to make an Ito/Hirano pair.

Kasumi played some very aggressive FH receives and also in the last deuce took a very agressive pivot FH to score a very important point. She was the most determined player. In the 4th at deuce, she got a lucky net in her favour. COURAGE + LUCK = VICTORY. Hirano didn't play with the challenger...

i love to do multiball as well. I love to do that. But its just not very practical here. As you can see there is a lot of space and people around. But i will try again. Ive done a few multiball sessions with him but not a lot. Actually i prefer to do multiball with lower ranked coaches or even...

Spinart but it is discontinued Mizuno Q3 is very good

Idol wins

Hirano chokes from 10-8 in the 4th

theres still Grand Finals next week but as seed 10 and 11 they will both face either a top chinese or Ito in the first match

How did Kato make it that far ? Her game is really boring. Its a pain to see her play EDIT Kasumi our idol wins !!! hope Miu wins and we have the expected showdown !! (won't watch it live, its getting too late here)

Finally our idol will have the last word !

@zeio looks like Niwa is not in Grand Finals, but Mizutani is.. can he still catch up ?

I haven't filmed myself for a while because i lost a lever of my tripod. So i bought it as a separate item, only to discover i hadn't lost it, it was just being attached to another lever . LOL on me. Here is myself at the end of my 2H training session with my coach last Tuesday. I think I'm...

unfortunately for Hayata, its not such a surprise... I'm not convinced Hirano and Ishikawa are gonna meet in the final

i played on Tuesday for 3 hours after a 1 week rest, no pain at all. but i trained today (Friday) for 2 hours with the coach, and towards the very end of the session, my shoulder started to feel pain again. I could still do FH topspin but I felt that if i continued, i would hurt it badly...
