Funny how TT has changed. 1990s: One gun is as good as two. 2020s: Two guns beats one.

Am I the only one who thinks something is wrong with having all the quarterfinals matches on one day except two that are delayed to the next day? Is that fair to those players?

Not a fan of this "Dumb" language, but a player expanding the range of possibilities in her game especially at a very advanced level is always inspiring to see.

That's fair. It should show up on video then.

There are ways of measuring these things that give more objective results. That said, handle preferences do influence a lot when it comes to how a blade feels because where you place your fingers and how the blade feels influences proprioception. But things like quick and crisp have very...

Sun Yingsha a choker or what.. losing gold medals to Chen Meng amd then this 10-6 lead to WYD... Lucky she usually wins her matches or her choking would be well renown...

Beating Akula and Hashimoto might make WYD the most improved player on CNT

Last comment to make s point: from 7-7 in game 1 to 4-0 in game 2, Coton won 8 straight points. Then Peng won 11 straight points. Did Peng choke then wake up? Or did they just pass choking batons to each other?

Your opinion is okay to have but you are swimming uphill against mountains of evidence in coming to any conclusion that makes Coton the better player. Xiang Peng is far more accomplished, far more experienced and far more stable. Yes, experience is part of reliable performance and better play...

He played a much higher ranked player and was the underdog. He is 5 years younger than his opponent. Isn't he expected to play worse given where he is in his personal development? Why are we looking for special explanations to explain mistakes that just about any player could make in similar...

What is delusional about pointing out that the opponent has a right to hit the ball too and that if a player went on a streak of sorts to get to 10-5, the other player has a right to go on a streak to 10-10? It's pretty ridiculous to make streaks about some silly pseudosciencr especially when...

So the coach that got him there is not a top coach? He got to be the top junior in Europe and France just by working with not-so-top coaches? Seriously?

Go find the wise words of LGL and then apply them to this point which is the ultimate choking point of all time: Or just let it go and realize the point shows how ridiculous this is, give Xiang some credit please!

Uda beating LSD in China in a best of 7.... I don't know about that...

Wang Chuqin lost 18 straight points to Zhou Qihao. What is his pattern? ZJK was up 3-3, 10-4 vs Yan An and lost 8 straight points. What was the pattern? Whatever you may say about LGY, all the people he "choked" against were usually better players than he was. It is easy to call losing big...

In my experience, the readiness of the other player often feeds the impression of the umpire in the absence of objective measures like clocks.

Yeah, that's why everyone is doing it. More seriously, Togami's speed and power is not normal even amongst top players, it is elite. If you doubt this, speak to professionals about his game. Alamiyan who doesn't complain about playing Wang Chuqin or Liang Jingkun was annoyed at how high risk...

The list of players Lin had notable "chokes" against that I remember: Timo Boll, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Harimoto and maybe Mizutani (and some other near misses against Mizutani, Dima etc). Which of those players was clearly worse than he was? Anyone who thinks lost leads is by definition choking...

Let's be clear here, using stalling tactics is not a "Chinese" thing. I am now 95% sure you are PoppaChubby/OldUser with a new handle, but in any case if I am wrong, you do you. On an international forum though, it is not the place to air all your prejudices about a player's behavior...

I hate to say this but... those gaddem pips!
