No, this is not true at all. Again you are focused on just one thing. The coaches have a more intimate view of these things. They will only leave Ding and Liu out if they truly believe that the problems are not fixable. And given how much adaptation those 2 have done throughout their...

They may select Chen Meng, but the idea that someone cannot fix their game in 6 months to beat an opponent that they couldn't beat prior has been debunked multiple times in the past. If you remember there was a time that it was believed that the Chinese had decided Ito around this time last...

I have had a fever for the past 3 days and I am not sure what to make of it. But other than my difficulty digesting food, it hasn't been terrible. But I have had to sleep a lot. Since I am. Ot showing any major respiratory symptoms I consider it a stomach flu. But I did have to miss work on...

Changing equipment comes with its share of frustrations... I now have to admit to myself that my current setup is too fast for me. In this case, I have grown to love the rubber but the blade just doesn't give me the comfort I need to use the rubber when blocking. I switched the slowest Carbon...

National team sponsor is Butterfly. But his sponsor is Victas.

I don't think you are being entirely fair to Ito and yes Chen Meng has that Li Xiaoxia extra power thing working for her. Sometimes it is annoying to feel like nothing is working and at a certain point it hurts your mood regardless of how calm you are because you do care about the results. I...

I dispute it. She will play singles only if they believe wh wa t she did against Ito is something only she can do. She was probably the favorite for teams anyways but the Ding Meng combo needs work.

The difference is that he won. XX lost. If Pitchford wins, we can discuss. FZD rises to the occasion under pressure.

I think FZD this morning reminded me that he has grown a lot. He managed to do things that Ma Long couldn't do and it open ed up the one weakness in Wang's game. If Liam does it, more power to his elbow and wrist.

Amazing victory. Anyone still singing Xu Xin for Olympic Singles?

It looks like Gauzy has show that Europeans can't use standard technique at their height vs Chinese balls and they need to learn to come across their bodies with their arms as necessary.

I can't blame them. Pitchford clearly had to get his confidence back from all the prior bashing that Xu Xin had given him. But I would never have believed Pitchford had improved this much, like I said before, Gauzy has put something in Pitchford's water. Victas and Japan must have helped a...

Gauzy inspires Pitchford for sure.

That Fan Zhendong can find the wide forehand of Wang Chuqin with almost every shot is preternatural. You can't fo that even in computer games.

Not the kind of thing you should share since it sounds so obviously unreliable. That said, the quality of the match that Meng plays against Ito will dictate a lot. And I still believe that any of the top Chinese will do better with specific internal preparation. The loss of Ding Ning though...

That was annihilation.

Gauzy is doing some amazing things but it is almost a year too late. I am still upset with him for not beating Falck.

Wang: Play me when I am fresh

Am I the only one who finds it crazy that possibly the best player in the world is warming the bench for the CNT?
