Well the good news for both of them is that winning one match clears the decks until the quarters. They will face good players don't get me wrong, but they have good records against such players.

It's not true that they( top players or players like Bernie) have never trained against it, a lot comes down to the level of consistency of the anti=spin user and the ability of the user to handle heavy topspin with it, neither of which are trivial and require a lot of practice against high...

Curious, what did she need to prove to DTTB bigshots? I love the way you make up narratives that are completely unsupported by anything other than delusional Tieba users.

NI = Natural Intelligence? AI also stands for Actual Intelligence but in this case, I was too impressed by hitting the corners and the lines and even the upward edges at all the right times. Thats why they say he cant rally because he puts the ball where they don't like it and rather than...

Putting every mistake down to mentality is a narrative choice. Usually Sora gets playes to push or return a lot of serves itno his preferred Bomba spots. Truls did not accommodate him, that was the biggest thing.

@Metaxa spoke about training seriously into his late 20s with a similar problem. Truls may have a short career but he will play at least through his 20s, there is no need to bury him early. Modern medicine also usually manages things much better

Isaac Quek said that in current TT, you will be forced to beat top players in rally. First strike table tennis is important but Truls won many shots with impeccable placement assisted by AI. Gracious losing is a PR thing, had nothing to do with attitude.

Winning ugly is a thing... when Truls did it and beat Lim in Houston, initially people thought he had given up and the ball kept landing on the table. His problem is not his body language, his problem is that he doesn't won. Whether his body language explains that will be told over time.

Table tennis is not a beauty contest.

I would give up if my opponent was using AI...

Truls is using AI to play some points. That should not be allowed....

Juat like the Winter vs Doo match, this result proves everyone right. Surprisingly happy for Wang, the loss would have cost her a bit while Winter was clearly already living the dream.

We can agree to disagree. Psychological issue explanations have limitations relative to underlying technical issues. I know what I mean when I say his style of play is too cerebral and he needs to focus more on taking initiative than restricting opponents and playing probabilities.

You think she will struggle with the Japanese and won't have as good a draw on Frankfurt?

It was required but I agree ir was late.

Even with Harimotoz there are playing style and technical issues that need work. These are more important factors in his struggle than the usual stories about mental strength.

I was in Houston 2021 live when he won two close matches, one against Franziska when Franziska mounted a comeback, and one against Lim Junghoon, when Lim Junghoon completely outplayed him yo go up 3-0 and them Moregardh started playing loose using a variety of flat shots and insane blocks to...

He is young. Such things can still be developed with the right experiences

I see how it can be questioned because In fact, I am dealing with that very experience right now with @zeio hence my investigation... I think you are polite in calling it an edge even if it is a moment in time...
