For my footwork I use butterfly lezoline like the real Timo Boll :-)

given his current form, the main assumption should be that he loses on his first or second match at WTTC

For quite some time I had problems on short pips players to do topspin. As you say, the upcoming ball is often dead or little spin and if you don't adjust, your timing may be wrong and you end up often making the ball too long. Here is my advice. There are several kind of timing. Wait for the...

if you watched my game against the pips guy that I posted the other day, there was a 32-ball rally ... :-)

Today i had a 1:1 session with one of my coaches. I am not using him much anymore because i found another coach which is more available and which is nearer to where i live, and although the new one is an ex-pro-JNT player, he is only 1,000 yens more expensive... so... but i like to play with...

any Fukuhara is now more practising making babies than TT anymore. I doubt we will see her ever again playing for the JNT

exactly, i don't understand how its possible at all to play with this kind of rubber ! I can do nothing out of it...

Attack 8

If he doesn't get food poisoned, or some kind of sickness, Dima should win it easily. In the women's it should be a HK player yeah I know, i'm betting on the top seeds, not a very risky bet...

Thanks. I was expected to win against all of today's opponents, but I know that some time ago, perhaps i would have won as well, but perhaps not that easily, and/or showing not so good technique and confidence. Beating with a margin of safety weaker players (compared to beating them without this...

another match yesterday against a weaker player than the pips penholder. I win easily 3-0. I knew that normally i should beat this guy because he is not very consistent and not good in serve/receive, but I was a bit surprised it was so easy (at least in the first two sets) in which I make him...

my toughest match today, against that long pips penholder (blocking style). Its a good win for me. I couldn't beat this kind of player easily before but I have improved my BH and that was essential today. Although I was playing him for the first time, I was not surprised as I often play against...

I played a team tournament this WE. We are 4 members, I'm the 2nd strongest player in team. We are in a group of 6 teams. We finished 2nd. The formula is for each match 4 singles + 1 doubles. doubles is always match #3, I always play match #4, and our #1 player plays match #1 so i could play...

all those games just to eliminate 3 players...

another day at the club. just one match, lost 1-3 to a guy around my age, defending with long pimples. He is not a robot, but he's not making that many easy mistakes. I have to fight for each point. Up to the middle of the 3rd set, i was still in the game, it was something like 1 set all, 5-7 or...

It's more difficult to win those trials than to win WTTC

@FantasticPanda maybe...maybe not... that being said, about 5% of people are gay, so it should be not shocking that a few well known top players male or female are gay.

my memory might be wrong, but i think the link was provided by ITTF FB site ? the video was showing all known couples (Ovtcharov + his wife, the Dodean Monteiro for example...) and i have no reason to doubt there was some malice and the author intent was to spread rumours on LIU. Then again, i...

i saw that on that video link, but it has been removed since, you have to take my word. It had a photo of LIU Shiwen with her GF, together with other better known couples. The video was quite recent

yes LIU Shiwen has a girlfriend. She is openly a lesbian
