    When Lind beat WCQ, did WCQ lose because he had a weak forehand as well? I find it a bit annoying when people use style to explain why a player lost as opposed to the specific tactics of the match. Many of the players with supposedly stronger forehands are all the players that LSD surpassed to...

    It very well migbt be. But we will see. Honoka is better than Han Ying but their styles are not that different. And as crazy as it might sound, playing for expedite against Honoka might be thr brst option for many attackers, because she tends to win the longer points. Forcing her to attack...

    @Gozo Aruna no play with cheap Chinese racket. Yay!

    Again I will sound like a broken record but someone has upgraded the backhand play on the male KNT.

    Yes but his point is that the CNT is improving their play vs defenders. Unless you think Han Ying who beat Chen Yi foe the first time should have lost to CXT for the first time, it is clear that the CNT is addressing the problem. It might be harder to beat Honoka but they are definitely trying...

    Han Ying will hopefully survive this without an injury, she is being pushed beyond her technical limits to hang in this athletically.
  8. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    kur******** 5時間前 MTOは私自身疑問に思うところがあるけど、わざわざ攻撃的なコメントを載せている人たちの神経がわからない。非難されて自殺する有名人が多いのは今時周知のことなので、匿名だからと言いたい放題は良くない。 (I personally have some doubts about MTO, but I don't understand the mentality of people who go out of their way to post offensive comments. It's common knowledge these days that...

    No, he has a good argument. The first point, Xiang Peng did not believe that the ball traveled cleanly and I can see why he would claim a net after he missed it and it was up to the umpire and the umpire supported him unfortunately for Franziska. But that is why sometimes you cannot leave...

    I think looking at the points, Xiang Peng's behavior is totally within the lines as well and pilgrim's position has merit. It's just not optimal.

    Of course you are entitled to your opinion. It doesn't make it a good one. Fairness is a huge part of table tennis, especially since many competitive matches are played without umpires, and even when an umpire is present, there is a lot of stuff they cannot pick up given the speed and tight...

    No changes to the match. It would be fascinating to do an experiment where Jang was raised in China and we see how his game turned out (Chinese coaches always say this about the top Nigerians lol). You don't get players as fast as Jang growing on trees. He ans An might very well have been...

    Jang Woojin is making Xue Fei look like an amateur. More convinced than ever that Harimoto has undisclosed issues. Though to be fair, the 1-0, 5-1 point was ridiculously good. Could change the match...

    She couldn't read the no spin chop at all. It was embarrassing in game 4.

    Two steps back for him is not enough unless he gets a predictable ball. Most players take more than two steps even Feliz is playing back further. Ultimately he needs to find a distance where he can play positive strokes. But he was not able to do it today. But he has done it before and will...

    The match point as well is worth watching. Togami's shot selection is very interesting. As with all things, work in progress!
  18. WTT Champions Macao 2025 - 9-14 Sep 2025

    It's not the reflexes but the stubbornness to stay close to the table and therefore lack the time to switch and hope that the opponent will not aim so well he cannot block. If he is injured like I think he is, that is what is causing it, you can see in game 6 of the Wang match, he really...

    It was a very close match, dominating might not be the right word, but he wasn't bullied on the forehand for sure, it felt very often like Togami though he could just hit winners there but when it turned into a rally after some of those "winners", Togami was often caught off balance.

    I think it was after /during the last match with Wang. Ever since then he has gone back to his old game and has been slow again, even at the last tournament before this. He can beat some people playing that way but not the best or tactically aware Asians. Hopefully he will heal enough soon...
