I am still in the honeymoon phase. I have two blades with Skyline 3 on BH. I had H3 BS on the forehand of one and just replaced the Skyline 2 on both sides with one side on Skyline 3. I intend to play a bit with the Skyline 2/3 combination and twiddle. While I don't twiddle during points, I...

It makes sense, more so given her age. You can't learn all the skills in TT at once, you need to get good at how you win points first, and then close the gaps with experience and training. So she will close the gaps with experience and age. Contrast that with someone like Togami who at 22...

Just by taking a small step back and not making Alexis feel like he is playing Felix, Togami might have enough to make a change here.

Two great athletes but one just has a far better understanding of creativity and variation.

I think it is easy to underestimate Hina's rallying ability when you focus on her scores against CNT and forget about just how hard it is for her to miss when she is on fire.

One last question ‐ does the club or someone in the club gain in reputation or funding somehow by having teams that perform oe participate in leagues? As an aside, there was a recent kerfuffle between an African top player and his national association because the player wanted to select his own...

These are opponents they know and balls they are familiar with. They are supposed to take those risks. Making it about Paris is wrong IMHO, this particular match is the focus, they can work on Paris 2024 against other less familiar opponents.

Yeah. To wait until 10‐9 to put it on your backhand and then do it against a ball that risky was just clearly him trying to take risk but he just didn't have it.

The match showed a lot of progress in Harimoto's game but it was a lot to ask of him to play all these matches and against an opponent who knows him so well and is just the better athlete. Harimoto still doesn't have the level of athletic aggression to take on such high risk high reward players...

Once it went to deuce you know Harimoto was done.

Hari-boy is gassed but to a lesser degree so is Togami. May the person whi can maintain his form at this level of intensity win lol.

Finally, a serve from the forehand corner lol! But will that last?

Harimoto misses his serves trying to invent serve patterns that Togami is not familiar with. The pressure is getting to him...

Does Hari-boy have a chance? He couldn't figure out how to get Togami to miss on his serve but once over many tries from 10-5 up. This is the problem with playing teammates who know you too well. They are familiar with your tricks so no easy points on serve and serve return.

The talentless hardworker and overachiever beats the talented genius and latent prodigy... the power of narratives...

Both. Sometimes it is to bait the opponent into underestimating how much backspin is on the bal and to keep it closer to the netl, and but that has the side effect of looking bad when thr opponent reads thr backspin on the ball and attacks it or the ball drifts long and then it is kist easier...

I prefer training to competing by a mile. But no one wants to train and most clubs I'm my current area are not built to facilitate training because they are part time. So I have to compromise and make deals and train practice partners in the hope that at some point someone sees the light. My...

France is pretty much announcing that it is a serious contender for the Olympics teams silver and bronze medals (depending on the draw of course) with Felix in singles and Lebrun/Gauzy in singles/doubles, even a more serious announcement than their men's teams silver medal in Busan given the...

Playing people at that level can be fun, they usually don't do anything serious against you once they detect your level in the warm up (or in the US based on rating) unless you magically compete or they enjoy shot-making and want to make you feel their level. They usually just beat you with a...

It will make you a better player...
