Does Mizutani have a WTTC medal? Yet you argue he is entitled to tell someone else what it takes to win one and that it was the least they could do? If he was criticizing Hayata for a bronze in Olympics singles, that is a bit different, but he didn't do better than that.

Absolutely nothing. As is his prerogative, in the immortal words of Magic Johnson when Anthony Edwards said NBA players before Jordan didn't know how to play basketball with skill, "when he wins a ring, I can respond to him." Because he sure won't have that opinion when he does.

Opinions are like but-oles, everyone has at least one. We are all allowed to rationalize away anything we refuse to accept. Homecourt advantage is part of the game, they invest more money in you and your training to win medals when an Olympics is in your country. Felix won his medal, losing...

Sarcasm is not for everyone.

Saying stupid things to deprecate achievements you never had is not teaching, it is the privilege of anyone who has never won anything. I don't interpret their comments as you do, but one should appreciate the limitations of speaking authoritatively on what one has never done.

He is working on changing his game, these things take time and patience, but fans only care about results so...

The TT Gods/Experts have spoken! Too much early success means all later success is trash....

Yeah, beating Hugo and was it LYJ or Dima is a walk in the park.

You do not like to listen to the experts, do you?

Nah, she is a doubles specialist for losing to the world #1. The experts have spoken.

The overrated Shin Yubin is really giving Sun hell...

Just point out what these experts have done that is similar to what Hayata has done in Singles.

Those who cannot do teach.

This is not what they experts say. She beat easy to beat Chinese players not the very best. So she is just doing the minimum. Trust the experts.

I think the opinion is harsh. Competitive play is Competitive and thin margins that drive wins and losses shouldn't be used to insult players. Jorgic is a very strong player and he could have won this match for sure.

Nah she is dumb and hits the ball mindlessly according to the experts. You must have missed something even though we all saw her beat Wang Yidi with similar changes. Trust the experts!

Once Quadri didn't use the TTR system he had no chance. Hugo consistently hides his serve and tiy need the extra time to get in.

He beatz Jorgic consistently on the Bundesliga. And he usually does it after going down 0-2.

It's big in many pros, both visible and not obvious. Kreanga is also notorious for his. Given how notorious Hayata is for training, it makes sense that hers is also obvious.

That's the thing - Quadri opens with his backhand (ask Duda or Harimoto if you doubt this), he punches with his backhand and he fishes and spins with his backhand off the table when forced to go back. These are all strokes that only work powerfully with inverted. He also does a lot of...
