  1. Austrian Open 2018

    Well I think this was his easiest path to be honest as difficult as it was as he beats these players in the Super League. The real issue will be how he performs against the top foreigners. He has done well for the most part but the Jang Woojin loss is the other end of the spectrum. The...
  2. Austrian Open 2018

    I saw what you saw as well. The kid is 15. I repeat the kid is 15. It may take time for people to fully appreciate that. But the kid is 15. Xu Xin escaped with the second game and that allowed him to take more risks. I think this match was actually good for Tomokazu as it exposed something...
  3. Austrian Open 2018

    By the way, I am not picking on you specifically so I apologize if it looks that way. I know people who ask why Adam is pronouncing Xu Xin as Shu Sheen or things like that. I don't know what the correct way but I will defer to the guy who hangs around Xu Xin and has likely pronounced his name...
  4. Austrian Open 2018

    It's obvious he does this, it is the people who suspect him of not taking his job seriously that make me shake my head. I don't admire all of Adam's choices, but he is clearly a professional who takes his job far more seriously than many of us would. He is clearly learning Chinese, but people...
  5. Austrian Open 2018

    His movement is still like when he lost weight which is the most important thing.
  6. Austrian Open 2018

    Someone heard the translator complaints and they brought out Liu Jia...
  7. Austrian Open 2018

    The Chinese Taipei team is the one team with lopsided skills - Two amazing forehands and relatively weak backhands but those forehands can trouble anyone including the top CNT.
  8. Austrian Open 2018

    It's you - she has always looked like that since she trained after her injury- she is easily the most powerful CNT player since LXX retired. WMY may get there one day on sheer length.
  9. Austrian Open 2018

    That was SOOO wrong!!!
  10. Austrian Open 2018

    It's hard for anyone to play that way consistently and Xu Xin has higher quality than most. But Harimoto can still adjust to that. XX has to be careful.
  11. Austrian Open 2018

    The ref/umpire for the Xu Xin - Harimoto Tomokazu match is Paola Bongelli, who infamously called Ding Ning for her low toss reverse tomahawk at the Olympic Finals in 2012. Good to see that she is still in the game.
  12. Austrian Open 2018

    Niwa has also improved. It's just almost impossible to beat Fan Zhendong at Super Saiyan God power levels.
  13. Austrian Open 2018

    These were my exact sentiments watching Hirano. Her shots were more mature and her sequences were strong but she didn't play like someone who knew her true level.
  14. Austrian Open 2018

    It is actually well known that Boll doesn't practice that much and it isn't a recent thing either. It is probably more justifiable now because of his public injuries but compared to other TT players, some consider him lazy or injured. He does like it when he plays enough matches to keep his...
  15. Austrian Open 2018

    Truly a legend.
  16. Austrian Open 2018

    To be fair, DHK has the best wide forehand game I have seen vs Ito.
  17. Austrian Open 2018

    She looks flat and to be fair, Doo Hoi Kem chases everything down.
  18. Austrian Open 2018

    The CNT women are fixing that quickly. We should be back on schedule soon.
  19. Austrian Open 2018

    European men too. It is a general difference on technique. There are individual exceptions but your general observation is correct. Part of it is driven by equipment but it is a stylistic difference across countries and continents.
  20. Austrian Open 2018

    Yes. I actually believe Japan now legitimately has the best women defenders in the world.
