My father taught me (and I also learned the hard way) not to offer unsolicited advice - if you do, accept that some people will tell you to shut up and mind your own business.

Wow, I am not a good enough player to sense equipment variance. It is probably what makes me a bad EJ lol...

He switched from Super ZLC Mizutani? Super beats Golden you know...

Edward Ly and MArcos MAdrid - finally a potentially a good match.

An even simpler explanation lol. Awkward... I find handshaking after the match an interesting thing... but I guess it is our way of trying to say "it is just competition, let bygones be bygones".

My apologies - I suspect something happened during the match, I watched some of it but not all of it. EDIT: As was explained - she had already shaken hands a minute earlier after the final result.

I have spoken to coaches about these things and since Sreeja is the player by ranking, there must have been a good reason not to field her. While amateurs like to talk about rolling the dice etc., professional coaches know that internal team management must be seen as a meritocracy of sorts to...

How do you know this? Sometimes these things happen off camera, or they have logical reasons, yet for some reasons people look at the camera to make an issue of things like this...

They are professionals, they were clearly patriotic, but they were also doing their job.

Tan Hashimoto's the Indian team - job well done.

I thought Chang Li Sian was an ageing retiring chopper...

Tan has been very impressive. How old is she? Gemini says 20. Coming out party for her.

It is the noise and the thought that counts! :p

Fans carried her and then she carried her self and then they carried her all the way - the kids are amazing lol.. Now Diya has to be prove @driversbeat extra wrong and beat a chopper lol...

Batra is bringing the pressure... teams table tennis can be so tension filled especially because the result affects more than you lol...

"Diya declares war on Singapore right now!" These commentators are the best lol.

Because she is defender or because she knew how to control the action and counterattack precisely? That said, I have been impressed by Singapore - they may have been the easier opponent, but they are not going down without a fight.

Nah, you can't plan this that far in advance or rather id you do, it is based on current performances. Tough losses like this cant disqualify you. Did Wang's loss to Faraji disqualify him? This is part of the preparation. And it reveals gaps to be worked on.

I think Faraji served/serves long a lot and managed to get into rallies and third ball kills and Lin is used to out playing players in the short game because most players are not used to serving long on most points and defending first attack (Faraji didn't make a lot of mistakes in short game...
