Obviously. The point is that it doesn't always make a difference and the coach still has the prerogative to read his player and make a judgement call, as opposed to doing something just as logical and getting second guessed. Timo didn't play any worse in this match vs how he played, even on...

What would you have told Timo to do? No point using the timeout if you have nothing to say.

This is Timo's best chance (on home soil) and I don't think it is going to happen. Its one of those rare occasions that i dont want it to happen either. I miss seeing the Captain and i want all these silly comments about thr new world rankings to reduce a bit and they won't if Ma Long doesn't...

Was she once the cadet coach? Can't understand how she gets assigned all these somewhat lower players...

SYS won.

Finally blocked too.

11-2 Timo.

It's working for me today...

That's a reasonable point. The one thing I have never found is any feeling that Truls hides his serves. But violations are violations and the rules are so inconsistently applied that all kinds of arguments over right and wrong are inevitable.

The refs are probably being graded/evaluated. This stuff tends to happen when they are being graded.

When the lady calls the fault, it is the first time you see him serving facing us, and it is pretty obvious the ball disappears, though it didn't bother Truls as much as the calls.

They called him for hiding them with his shoulder. Most likely a prior opponent complained.

Gacina has a very good backhand, and Aruna also has a good backhand. The days where Aruna had a bad backhand are gone, it is the disparity in the strokes that is stark.

I think it was last year that Freitas was in the Prelim of a tournament. That was amazing to see.

A lot depends on how much his opponent is struggling with his serve. And unfortunately, that is something that is very player specific no matter how good a server you are.

The biggest thing is for you to read the no spin ball. You often do not read it and treat it like backspin. The other thing is to not try to kill the high ball too hard. Just loop it somewhere. It is easy to loop the ball long if you are trying to kill it. Lastly, learn to loop the ball...

I love how far apart Ma Long and Xu Xin are in the draw. Now we just need Fang Bo to play Dima or Timo and everything is perfect!

Lol... not sure his ranking after doing that will satisfy the hardliners...

Thanks, I confused her with Qian Tianyi.

Yes, CNT. I have to go back to that - I quit watching out of surprise when it was 3-0.
