Hayata is on a new level Too bad for Shibata, i wanted her to win, and she fought well as usual but it wasn't enough. Hashimoto fought well again ! I think she's better than Sato, her attacks, (especially BH) are more powerful. Sato's defense is excellent but she's not winning enough points when...

He is in love with her

Hayata has still a reasonable chance first to be in the Budapest squad. There is one slot left if she wins the qualification tournament and if it’s one of the 4 already qualified that do win she has now a good chance to get the wild card

Same opinion than NoFootwork and LSW might not even go to Budapest... She needs to win the qualification tournament to be sure

It’s not even sure LIU Shiwen will be in the next WTTC in Hungary Difficult not to see Ding Ning Chen Meng Zhu Yuling and Wang Manyu So only one slot left... She’d better win the qualification tournament else we might not see her ever again in a big tournament Big win for Hayata but she’s...

LIU Shiwen looks nervous and slower than her usual

Hayata is really playing very well She’s really very fast

to avoid hitting the edge of the racket, open up your wrist a little that doesn't mean the angle of the racket is necessary more closed. You can still adjust your arm to close the angle more. but keeping the wrist open will give you more power and you will make less mistakes hitting the edge...

its possible to do slowmo on Youtube

@NL i have a coaching session next week, usually we do counter-topspin during multiball, so i may film it

i don't think you should finish the stroke down, but forward. so don't be too close to the table. finishing the stroke down is more for blocking very very spinny loops and start with the racket high, you cover it. but for counter its more a horizontal swing. its more about timing the ball...

@NL here is how I approach counter-topspin at the table, as you know I play close to the table as well. In both cases what matters most is timing and putting your own screen. No need for a big swing or big power in the stroke. FH I've been reducing my error rate recently thanks to coaching and...

What is his best win ? His worst loss ?

Ask him why European players cannot beat Chinese now but it wasn’t always like that in his days

Maybe a difficult question What does he remember of his 2003 semifinal in Bercy WTTC against Joo Saehyuk

those were random numbers, it was just an example to illustrate my point, sorry. i'm not rating anything at this stage

We're a French team playing in Japan, so I must admit if we shout something in French during the game, nobody else will understand it LOL

@Lula in my video above, I'm trying (and missing) a BH kill (see comments for timing). I was very confident to make the shot i don't miss it often [thats why i pumped the fist already LOL]. I make a bigger swing and hit the ball flat to execute this shot, just wait for the good timing. Be...

well it would cost a lot of money to buy all those barriers As a result, even if a ball comes by, the play is usually not interrupted. I would never stop playing unless the umpire calls it, its too dangerous not to play the point. The point would be replayed only if a ball flies over the table...

here is a video of my last match yesterday (see previous post) very few rallies. War of service and receive like Wimbledon.
