This is true, but the final was Ito trying everything she had but it just didn't really work. Maybe she had an off day or something, but people should kill this idea that she wasn't trying hard. You don't pivot to return serves if you are not trying hard.

I don't see that as indicative of her not trying though. Getting to the finals says something, the rest is all what we read into certain things.

Does Lin Yun Ju have the best Chiquita in the world? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTfR0K22ZSk

I was at a camp recently with a high level coach and he used a TBS with H3 forehand (boosted at one time, but since he coaches, he doesn't really care) and some T05 (probably old as well) on the backhand. When I grabbed his racket for blocking during one drill, I just remembered why I don't use...

Ma Long is overdue for a bad match. But it obviously doesn't have to happen in Japan.

Depends on the draw, he could always meet ML in the quarter finals.

I do. ITTF needs to create rules that force this kind of scheduling to go away. Happens more frequently than you might think. Though it sometimes looks like the players don't care because they never bring it up. I think playing multiple events has a bigger toll.

Joo would be pretty close.

Going to bed. Can't stay up watching nothing.

It is the new ranking system, you know, the one that everyone insults because Ma Long is #5. It makes non-performance stick out like a sore thumb.

Back when youtubers were making TT videos popular with highlights and short forms, they waited until some of them had good channels then went after the good channels making them either work with the ITTF or go out of business on youtube. It is just scummy behavior.

Monopolies maintain their ability to continue doing crap by treating the competition "nicely".

It is increasingly clear that Ishikawa and Mizutani have a non-zero probability of losing the singles spot. Mizutani seems to be doing something about it and was lucky to meet his challenger yesterday. Ishikawa has the World Cup but nothing else so far.

Yes, it is the preferred serving point in high level men's table tennis, more so since the backhand over the table was developed and made it easy to attack anything to the backhand. The forehand flick and forehand short push are difficult technical strokes and even when mastered are usually...

You guys are lucky - ittf kept blacking out the match for me.

If he doesn't get one he isn't going. They are realizing that both Mizutani and Niwa is too much if they take doubles seriously. If Yoshimura gets his team rank to #4, whoever is #3 isn't going unless Harimoto plays doubles and that doesn't make sense either.

Well I can explain what he is trying to say because I have a similar problem. Usually, pros drive most of their stroke with their body not their arm. If you watch carefully, you will see that they often rotate their upper body and hips to move the racket and the upper arm rarely moves much to...

Table 2 stream has gone down. Thanks ittf.
