Matelova has an insane amount of spin.

I get you. Youssef also beat Quadri Aruna a team event in Ghana that wasn't much reported in the West. It will be interesting to see whether he can get better. I do agree LGY didn't look sharp but Gauzy can do that to you too.

Youssef is thr Egyptian #3 but beat Uda in Tunis recently. You may not have heard of him but he is not a slouch, he and Elbeiali(the #2) beat Lim and An 3-0 in doubles.

Some of the US East coast players may have noticed that Quadri was being coached against Duda by Fanny Kokou of Togo who plays and coaches at the Westchester TT club in New York. Congrats to him on a great job.

My point still stands that did Quadri choke to give Duda the 9-3 lead? Getting a lead depends on many things and it isnt always in the control of the player like we tell stories to believe. I like to look at specific decisions or choices of the player or certain points to infer choking. It is...

they finally scheduled it. Lots of matches tomorrow so why this fast turn around for some players?

This might be Bernie's event, the tables are her favorite colors... more seriously, Rakovac is now a giant killer...

His loss was his punishment for not doing the right thing (letting Sora play). As Gozo would say, be a man and do the right thing!

Zeng has levelled up for this event. Clearly more consistent than before.

Nothing really prepares you completely to play a player but half a loaf is better than 1 and Lind did beat WCQ lol...

He lost out to LGY and XF in team trials.

Anyone know when the Japanese civil war is scheduled?

Playing a tough lefty before playing another tough lefty... nothing prepares you for anything better than doing it again lol...

The thing that makes it fairer, but also likely affected Lin is that he had to play his own match at the same time that Gauzy was playing Lind so LGY and Gauzy were both tired, but Gauzy handled it better.

I suspect so. But some of it will depend on how well the rest of the team does. The rest of the world is stronger than it used to be.

China: we need to go back to handpicking players lol....

Playing two matches in one day is the way to go, Gauzy plays amazing table tennis again. Congrats, Allez Simon!

Allez, Simon!

The funny thing is that he has the game to do it, Jarvis has bamboozled Xue Fei with his serves before. But of course, CNT at WTTC is a different animal.

Losing big leads is always choking if we uae that angle, but why dont we also say that Quadri choked to give Duda a 9-3 lead? In reality, what shots did Duda not play that he could have played? Quadri hit a lot of winners so we need to be careful when we call any loss of a big lead choking...
