the new trend that I see is that Chinese players get more and more often beaten by other players Get used to it I think the MAIN factor actually is psychological. They were so dominant for so long, that their opponents either came to the court as losers or if they fought well, always ended up...

WTF we've been playing with plastic balls for many years now... i can't remember the last time i played with celluloid. Probably I would miss all my touch shots if i played with a celluloid ball. Pros have had more than enough time to adapt. If they cannot adapt after all those years, they are...

It’s a bit what you do in squash when u hit a ball that hit the backwall

I’m a fan of Harimoto I’m playing close to the table as well and so far I could only emulate the top Chinese women players or Miu Hirano. It’s imperative when being close to the table to be ultra agressive. Because reaction time is less, if you don’t get the initiative and the one putting...

thanks NL, fine analysis, i couldn't agree more !

Hi, Do you know whether LIU Shiwen is still using SpinArt on her BH Cheers

I've well followed ITO and HARiMOTO in this tournament. Actually, perhaps contrarily to mass opinion, I think his best match was against LEE Sangsu. The win against MA Long of course is sensational, but MA Long seemed to be far from his best, and very nervous from the start, he played good in...

we've got a new troll champ !!!

a great final full of suspense i expected HT to win more easily but he was tense in the first 2 games. ZJK BH is as good as it was when he was the Grand Champion but alas he cannot play 2 FH in a row. HT won all the FH to FH rallies. Basically his footwork is late, or he is not even trying...

Harimoto should stay more calm and avoid always playing to ZJK BH ZJK doesn’t move well, if HT finds the good rhythm I think he will win easily it’s not too late for him

Sensational win for ITO Not just a one-off win. She beated two of the best young CNT players in this tournament, following some other recent great wins When she is smiling nobody can stop her !!! I think she was a bit lucky in this game against WMY with lets and edges but she was not so lucky...

Be careful guys, and girls because of LSW injury all other matches will be played earlier than originally scheduled !

I'm going to put my tinfoil hat on, and badmouth the CNT In other circumstances, LIU Shiwen would have played the doubles even with that "injury", but that final between Chinese has no real meaning for the CNT, thus its much better to forfeit the game, and let her partner WANG Manyu have some...

I can't wait to see the finals !!!! Its very exciting, for once, the Japanese players have a realistic chance to win gold in an Open against China !!! far from done, though Wang Manyu is really very very strong, and won 2 in a row against ITO, quite easily last week. Zhang Jike looks much...

Mima mia !!!! Mi-Magic !!!!

I think ML was far from his best in that match as well, but hats off to HT to take advantage of it. Now in their next encounter, ML won't want to lose twice in a row, so it will be very very interesting. If he leads 3-0 again, HT won't choke next time either, I believe !

I’ve been saying for a while that Harimoto would be no1 , I hope now people understand what I was saying

Yes he can yes he will

I want 4-0 Don’t choke Hari !!!

Harimoto !!!
