thats TT. Its only small details at the end. FZD missed an easy ball (for him) at 9-8 at that opening topspin. He put them all in them on the table earlier in the match... and then that ball clipped the top of the net while he should have gone for crosscourt maybe. And soon its game over. Its...

Ito is the weak link of the Japanese pair. She's missing too much. Hayata is playing rather well. A Hirano/Hayata pair would present more of a challenge to the Chinese. I think Ito's game is too weird, she's already peaked. Hayata has better prospects as a singles player and I expect her to be...

Mima Hina pair vs Ding Liu Head start for Japanese teenagers 4-0 in first set but they lose 14-12

this last set is epic. Its tough for LEE, but thats how big the gap is between the best Chinese and the rest of the world.

For those who think i'm just doing China bashing: I saw something which I liked very much yesterday. At the trophy ceremony, ZHU was looking at DING receiving the cup, and she looked really very happy for her teammate despite losing to her. She realizes DING is the all-time champion and that...

yep, it was mine as well. But somehow strangely, most here think the one circumventing the rules is Harimoto

4-0 for MA Long, 11-3 in the 4th... another confirmation of who's the true champ between the 2 CNT players.

XU Xin got a yellow card yesterday from the umpire between Set 3 and 4

I'm trying to say that you can tchooo for yourself and you can tchoooo to your opponent. Harimoto mostly tchoooo's to himself... I have to admit I myself do both, LOL, but i don't abuse it. Yes culture is different. As you know, I've played in the French league, and a lot of kids are more...

don't know anything about your Polish kid, but tchoooing by itself is NOT disrespectful

I say that because i watched the whole match. If you haven't, I've posted the link above. If you already have, watch it again and turn the sound on. I'm myself a tchoooer, and I just don't agree with anything you say about tchoooooing. I do it mainly to pump myself. And I'm totally prepared if...

Nope they are NOT behaving in the same way. XU Xin is not tchooing only. If he just did that, it would be ok for me. He's always doing many other dirty tricks; not only to Harimoto. He even got a rare yellow card against Harimoto for his unsportsmanship if you noticed You're not reading what...

Not agreeing at all with you 1) Lot of (digital) ink about Harimoto's tchoooing but he's far from being the loudest player in the circuit. Dima, Freitas, the Japanese Doubles (Oshima/Morizono), Szocs, the lesser known Jin or Chan in Japan, come into my mind, but there's many others. 2)...

Why do you guys complain about Harimoto? Today Dima too was tchoooing nearly every point against the very silent Niwa....

Not a sore loser. He just ridiculed himself. Xu xin was the better player he didn't need that to win. By the way I like to tchooo a lot when I play and I'm not affected if the guy starts tchoooing as well. Actually it gives me more energy. I think Harimoto is the same cause surely other guys...

I think XU Xin's unusual tchoooing was stupid. He could have done it just in the first set, and stopped it afterwards, just going back to his normal use of tchoooing. He tried mind games with HARIMOTO all along the match, its quite stupid. It just shows the CNT was afraid of Harimoto... Did...

on Japanese TV, HARIMOTO said he was very disappointed with the result... He said he was nervous when receiving, and had a lot of trouble dealing with XU Xin's spin... but he thinks he will learn from this competition, and he's thanking everybody, staff, coaches, fans, sponsors, crowd...

HARIMOTO's progress is impressive. He lost today but it was a formidable match....

No crying from the kid... He can be proud, he stood up till the last ball. He was outplayed, especially in the last 2 sets, but he did show great skills, and I can't wait to see a rematch in 1 year, or even in 6 months...

no way, XU Xin is walking on a fine thread. If he loses one set, he will feel the real pressure
