I don't think it is just patience, it is unparalleled athletic strength and explosiveness and stamina in the lower body, the fact it has been sustained for so long is probably as miraculous as seeing it executed. Watching him play Hodaei of Iran in Houston was one of my favorite moments because...

Well Sun Yingsha now has the traditional physics problem (the Chuang Hi Yuan/Kanak Jha problem) to solve. When your opponents are physically stronger than you and therefore have naturally more powerful strokes than you do and you don't have a massive edge in serve and return and speed, how do...

Has absolutely nothing to do with the level of the opponent. Brilliant commentary.

Not so much conservatism, there is no guarantee the timeout would have worked then and he probably felt Wang Manyu was in control and didn't want Sun to have a chance to mentally steady herself.

So for all the choking experts out there, did Sun Yingsha choke?

Called it lol. 2-8 to 11-9.

It almost didn't work. It seemed like 4 match points not seized. But now the match has flipped but Wang can still come back given she did it from 7-1 already....

The math has started to add up. Sun Yingsha has a lot of work to do to reverse it lol.

Rising value in the stock market: Wang Manyu backhand kills.

After watching the bronze medal match, if Wang Manyu doesn't win this, it will be the ultimate proof that table tennis is not mathematics lol.

I don't think some of the arguments already made will be affected. And FZD is still one Bundesliga loss from more scrutiny and with the different tables and balls in play in those leagues as well as the overall professional level, none of that is far fetched.

Guys, there were times when ML did things like this to FZD when he was #1 and FZD was #2. People should stop making it sound like LSD or FZD are simply just not at different stages of their careers.

Played a tournament today. Two events, U2250 and Open. Will put some notes on the matches in chronological order U2250 First match: Played a kid that I lost to the last time I played him 0-3. It was a match that changed my approach to TT going forward, I promised to play athletic TT goijg...

Maybe his approach and Dima's are the same and shared wisdom amongst pros. I have stopped using as much edge tape though I suspect i will nick my blade at more spots than the pros do lol...

First retiree sent home in quick fashion. Second down but battling....

Yuan Licen plays at another level in China.

Same here. Should be around 1030 CT. WCQ vs FZD is box office. I get the impression WCQ will rise to the challenge.

Yeah, but the problem with this framing, as brilliantly laid out as it is, is that it is very different from the original question posed by OP and is unable to yield some of the insights posed by the original question if it is insightfully discussed. Moreover, one could start saying things like...

Pros have the benefit of continually trying out different configurations of the same equipment over and over and have a lot of relatively reliable insights vs even the best EJs as the best EJs don't get equipment for free and don't train enough to flip equipment as quickly as the pros do. So in...
