That is okay. Doing it for even one match is incredible enough for me. And if you watch the match, or many of his matches you can see that his forehand is consistent. That said, so was Gauzy's...

Yeah. At some point fandom is no longer rational. Just like romance.

His backhand winning percentage in that match was what made me give him respect, I thought it would cost him points but I suspect on the whole he made out like a bandit as Yang struggled to chop the ball when his backhand hit the table. We can contrast that to Gauzy's forehand in the same event...

Yeah, you summed it up well. But I still think there is something inconsistent about praising Karaksevic or Kreanga then putting down Jorgic.

When most people speak about best backhand, if we are honest, we are mostly about the spectacular backhand loop. Usually the best backhands nowadays in terms of overall backhand play are just the backhands of the best players and maybe today, there is no real benefit in having a backhand like...

Yeah. Which is why Jorgic beat Ma Te and Gauzy lost to Wang Yang. I know you don't like backhand unbalanced players but at least understand that if what he was doing was so easy, everyone would do it for fun

Yes. It goes back to what you consider a good backhand. It is a matter of opinion. But I think we need to give Jorigic some credit for what he does. Even the CNT gave Dima credit when Dima was obviously an imbalanced but extremely hard working player.

LOL. The fact that you can have more confidence against chop using your backhand than you do using your forehand speaks for itself. The other tact is that he wins the match playing that way against a chopper that most players would struggle to beat. Having the best backhand in the world is...

I thought more people appreciated the level.of difficulty involved in playing a world class chopper by running around your forehand to play a backhand. As in putting the match on your backhand loop vs chop. It is like doing a Simone Biles routine.

I think you are free to post a more spectacular match from anyone you think has a better backhand than Jorgic since to you it is obvious that the other guys have better backhands.

And the other contenders are supposedly more consistent? Or you just remember them from highlights and not actual matches? The point is that Jorgic has a ridiculous backhand at least as ridiculous as any other contender for greatest backhand ever. These debates are for fun. But if Kreanga...

If you think it wasn't consistent enough, let me know what match you were watching. What he did was IMO borderline supernatural with the quality of the defender and if you count the backhand winners, they have to be up there in the % totals. Everyone can have their own opinion on whether his...

Calderano, Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun all have ridiculously powerful backhands as well. All that said, I think playing a chopper and running round your forehand to use your backhand speaks for itself. No top player does that on a regular basis.

You mean you saw this match and concluded that without hesitation? Seriously? https://youtu.be/RsXWlWcS1i4

When I say that you don't get forgiven for losing to Gauzy in the WTTC, Xu Xin fans continue to complain. I think the loss to Wang Yang speaks for itself

Darko Jorgic vs Wang Yang is a match that has to be seen to be believed. When a top player plays a chopper with his backhand as if it is a forehand on most of the points, it is a sign of the times that the end of the world is coming.

Not sure why you think it is not clear that it applies to the current Olympic cycle. When things don't apply with immediate effect, dates for implementation tend to specified, no? Or by default changes apply to the next cycle? The thing is that when this change was passed, China had all...

No. Only the top 2 players are guaranteed to not meet until the final if they meet at all. But top 2 could be any Chinese players without a foreigner above them. So there is still time for players to get into the top 2 if they aren't there now. I suspect that China will try to get LSW into...

Maybe but there are other possibilities. Maybe CM and SYS are not allowed to play as much so that DN and LSW get the points required. Or they send more players to every tournament Ito enters in an attempt to eliminate her at as early a round as possible. The real question is how far in...
