looks like Kasumi strained her leg a little bit when she slipped on the floor

I think its up to you to find whats the most efficient for you ! personally first of all i prefer to open my wrist when i hit FH, to avoid hitting the ball with the edge of the racket and then to execute the stroke without much wrist. The exception is when i play crosscourt aiming for the short...

Watched the match on TV Tokyo. No real suspense, i "knew" from the start it would be 3-0 and it should be the same again, whether its Korea (probably) or Ukraine. The Japanese pair lost G1 and almost lost G2, but when they seized G2, the Romanians lost their confidence and it was over. Ito had...

by the way "Sayaka" is a first name. Her full name was Sayaka HIRANO.

lol I agree with Carl That being said, i think your technique is a lot better OSPH. Good power and playing more smoothly. I think at your stage of development you should think less about technique than you do, and think more about staying as fit as you can and try to do more footwork, or at...

i was at the hall yesterday only: i watched the match on TV Tokyo

congrats Tomo ! the defeat against Pitchford was more an accident than anything else, due to the big pressure. Today Harimoto was in a much better mental state, and played superbly against strong German opposition. BANZAI !!!

Timo must be jet-lagged or something, he was really not the Timo Boll we usually see. Nice play Yoshi !!!

of course ITO is lightning fast, but so are the Chinese players [well couldn't really see it today given their opponents were too weak, although CHEN Meng dropped one set to an Ukrainian chopper (Ganapova) and was 1 set all 4-8 in the 3rd.].

@zeio sorry i was too excited like a little kid, and i didn't pay any attention to details such as the lighting on the table

What impresses me the most is ITO's serves. I was right behind the players and with my friends we played the "guess the spin" and with ITO I was fooled all the time. or the serve was too fast we couldn't react at all. We didn't have that much feeling with any other player male or female. On top...

its a weekday, and it wasn't well advertised. they didn't invite school kids to fill up the void

Lily played very well against ISHIKAWA. She is really moving very quick and her BH is excellent. Her style is more agressive than most girls even though she can be confident in BH rallies. However I feel her serve/receive game is really far from the very top players. When ITO serves you cannot...

wow had a very long day at the stadium. I never had so much fun. It was not very crowded. Tickets were quite cheap, 40$ for front row seats, and it wasn't even half full, more like 30%. What a shame ! but a good thing for those attending because it was much easier to get signatures or pics with...

Impossible for Japanese men to have a medal in Olympics unless they have a lucky draw. There are more than 3 teams stronger than them
