    Sad to see Shnozuka catching LHJ disease. Not a good sign for his future.

    Cheating is very different from enforcing the rules. And Duda is very meticulous about keeping his serves legal. He has one of thr rarest things you will see in table tennis. A high toss reverse pendulum serve. Anyone who goes through the trouble to develop that cares about following the rules.

    So you mean Duda worked hard on making his serves legal so he could be mad at beating a player who used an illegal serve to beat him? Everyone has their own opinion for sure since we dont know what he would say. But you know mine. I am sure Rosskopf realized it later and taught his team to use...

    It was match point and he didn't use it. If he had won it at match point, he would not have had to do it again lol.

    Bardet really leveled up his backhand, there were signs in the Ultimate League, but it is obvious in his matches here. But that forehand swing is just ridiculous in quality.

    If Duda had done this against WCQ at the World Cup, he may have won the match.

    People who play like Bardet often end up with back problems at some point.... maybe he has done some major muscle work to protect his spine but men, he hits some crazy shots. The commentators are seeing the forehand.

    While true that this ruins the impression, this is tied to the logistics and cost of getting large venue. It is easier to get a smaller venue with fewer issues and also provide training tables. Size matters.

    # of players is the size of the event. Smashes are WTTC equivalents just not as prestigious or billed as such yet. A World Cup is a small invitational, not even on the level of a national open or championship in complexity or size.

    Hard to get into the US and waiting for the later rounds.
  11. Nagasaki: "I've never liked table tennis that much to begin with..." (#1169)

    Well, we will see how that works out. He has travelled before so he knows what is out there. And I suspect he will play the CTTSL for sure.

    the serve was also in the wrong court. It's fun to kill serves.

    1. Rest to reduce. 2. When some of the pain subsides, there are lots of ways of getting the things that drive elbow issues stronger from grip strength to pronating exercises and other strength training. The Theraband flexbars were my go-to for a long time. They don't consume a lot of time and...

    Whatever the CNT analytics teams do, it works.

    Quadri really rocked Zhou Qihao who also seemed affected by the cheering. My friends were so loud in the stadium that I could tell because of the lag in table streams when Quadri won a point before it hit my stream because I could hear it on another table that was ahead of Quadri's match. Zhou...

    Pretty much. It might be both sessions if you can't see the links.
  17. Hugo Calderano denied entry into the USA! Will miss the USA Smash 2025

    It's not even screaming at me, I had to read the page carefully to see it. You would be surprised what catches people's eyes when formatting documents.
  18. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    That's the point I was actually getting at, LJK wants to spin more under pressure but it wasn't enough because of the altitude. His opponent did play some amazing shots to be honest.
