Destroying some one like Timo is really hard. Timo is really good and really versatile so people who destroy him usually are very versatile and LJK has to prove that as Timo adapts better than anyone I can think of to the pace of play. So you have to be ready when Timo tries this, then this...

Liang Jingkun making Gauzy look like a beginner.

Yes. I think that this was a good match for ZJK as I think it will help him commit to adapting if he wants to continue. The serving strategy was also clearly incorrect for this opponent. He needs to serve into the wide backhand much more. It was toooooo easy for Harimoto to get the...

Harimoto has improved his forehand quite a bit. It is clear that his speed of play is too fast for ZJK. Looking like 4-0.

This is where LGL would tell ZJK that they are no longer in the practice hall and the match has started... the tactics of Harimoto are obvious... not sure what the tactics of ZJK are yet.

Ito was the favorite, but I didn't know it was going to be *that* ugly. It was even worse that what Ishikawa has been doing. The funny thing is that if Ito becomes Japanese #1 as she currently seems to be, does that change the dynamic of the team since she will be the main singles player and...

That was mind boggling - Sun Yingsha is going through something for sure.

Some of it is bad luck - in one tour event, he beat CNT back bencher Xue Fei 4-3, but then went on to lose to Bastian Steger 1-4. I think that was the one where I really felt for him. I think LGL analyzed his loss to Fan Zhendong as a commentator and there is a translation online. That...

Ageing as a penholder is not fun.

Pitchford has done much worse in ITTF tour events than Calderano has. With the new ranking system, having one or two good matches is not as important as going deep in the draw. As far as I can remember, Calderano has had two strong ITTF tour results this year in the Hungarian and Qatar Opens...

Fine. I removed my Nigerian Hex - he did it in 5 and your toe should be fine now!

You can't blame me if he wants to do it in 5, 6 or 7 - lol!

Wow Hugo serving backhand. He really has taken the advice of the Chinese and coaches to heart.

To me that is a done deal.

It's pretty much a done deal. Lim Jonghoon eliminates Xu Xin from the China Open and the Japan Open or whatever the next Open Xu Xin was going to play in was.

I am fairly sure he beat Kilian Ort 4-1 as well.

Xu Xin down 1-3. Upset alert!

When Fan goes Nitro, it is amazing to watch. You get short lulls followed by blinding table tennis (two-winged super looping) that mere mortals can only admire.

Li Yun Ju is also an exceptional talent, there was no way FB could give him credit. Danny Seemiller argued that Ma Long has the worst first round matchup and I can't disagree with him based on the prelims.

Sandbagging ZJK fans. Harimoto is not better than Lin Gaoyuan. Zhang Jike could beat Lin Gaoyuan injured, spin or no spin. I cannot consider Harimoto the favorite.
