Natural RPB tends to have more sidespin (racket pointing a bit more downwards) and a bit more upper arm, your stroke is too clean lol and mildly artificial.

Growing pains. China is tough. They probably increased the size of her poster by 200% in the training hall after Chongqing.

So I have to make this point because I think toss angle of 30 degrees is now being misunderstood like the 6 inch height is being misunderstood. The toss is supposed to be vertical. As in zero degrees. Straight up. 30 degrees is the deviation from vertical to allow for when a serve is being...

My favorite EJ battle - Dignics 09c vs Zyre 03!

It's pretty amazing that she keeps taking it rather than waiting for it to be handed to her. She should not get past the winner of Wang-Harimoto, but if anyone can do it, it is Winter.

If Sabine beats Qin, I think that gets her into the top 10 regardless of all the other stuff. The points she gains should be enough to bypass Odo and Ito unless someone else jumps over from behind like Shin which while not impossible, is pretty unlikely.

You can make a lot of money with that bet. I don't see it and I am a Diaz fan.

Both players could use TTR. Dima just knows like all smart players do that your most dubious serves come into play under pressure.

On seeding, this one was just very stupid given the event size. I can handle 8 in a 32 player draw but 4 in a sixteen is stupid especially for an ITTF event that started with 48 players. They should separate ITTF from WTT but since both need the gambling money... I forgot CYY got in but yeah...

It's a fine line for sure.

It is quite possible that Rosskopf was registered to coach all the German players and just left Franziska coachless to start. I doubt the situation has not been handled or addressed by ITTF before. MAybe it isn't written in the rules, but nothing as far as I can see prevents someone from...

they are doing it, it just isn't WTT so it is taking a long time. and the live videos are still available as well.

Oh, Saive told a story of playing Chen Qi or someone on CNT and doing well because Liu Guoliang was coaching another player. He said he was up 3-1 and when that other match was over and LGL came, everything changed and he lost 4-3. So I know it is possible, it is likely Rosskopf left Dima...

BTW, was Rosskopf coaching both Dima and Franziska at the same time or was I missing something?

Were you the one arguing that pros would not be happy to win using TTR when I asked why Duda didn't use TTR to win vs WCQ in the World Cup last year?

Twisted draw. No seeding??? ITTF/WTT stupidity reigns again, seeding 4 instead of 8. I guess the need to encourage gambling is addictive.

I am a believer.

Largely because they lost a participant with Lin Shidong. Germany does take some credit obviously.

China has revitalized the event. I will accept whatever they decide lol

I completely disagree, being an amateur is not as important as having a fairly mature playing level after significant training and coaching
