I hardly need to know you - the way you wrote what you wrote speaks for itself. There are ways people who are sensitive to what stereotypes imply speak and write when talking about other cultures, especially on public forums. And those who are deliberately being insensitive have no problem...

What you never said is culturally insensitive. But it's okay. Illegal immigrants also have aspirations. They don't always need saviors or angels.

Yeah. All Nigerians do in Greece is sell lighters and other such stuff. Thanks for your great awareness.

Fang Bo again escapes from the jaws of defeat and sends it to a 7th game - AMAZING. Honestly, Fang Bo has been down in every single game even if only by a point or two and come back to win. Ng seems to be choking IMO, even as he goes up 4-0 in the 5th and is now at 4-2. Ng has a game that I...

A standing ovation for Gardos in defeat. What an amazing display of the style required to play with the plastic ball going forward. Fang Bo manages to recover from the edge of defeat - still in a battle as it is 3-2 Ng and Ng is on fire.

Fang Bo down 1-3, Lin and Gardos going to game 7. Today is going to be epic.

Fang Bo is down 0-2 to Ng.... that will be interesting to watch as well.

You have jinxed him... LOL.

At least 3 faults in the first game and at least 5 in the match. That he won despite so many fault calls is to his credit. Also credit the ump for making the call even if inconsistently. I think that if you toss the ball back towards you, the ball toss should be significantly high, though...

The round doesn't matter he is the underdog. His first victory over a CNT player in over a decade and he had had chances vs ZJK. He played a CNT player who plays a lot like himself in the next round as Well, only a leftie. Even if he loses that one, this win has made his tournament as no...

So you now don't have to take the anti-ZJK bias so personally - lol...

It's him and Fang Bo. Fang hasn't won anything. So they are level.

I see LJK's loss as facing a terrible matchup. Gardos is one of the best close to the table and backhand oriented male players in the world. Hard to play against such a style without specific advance preparation for it.

LGY didn't play the singles event at National games because he didn't qualify - basically, FZD almost played every round of every event he was eligible for at a high level (he only went out "early" in XD). You can be very fit, but you are still human - rest matters and wear and tear happens...

Don't take this the wrong way, as you probably meant it in the nicest possible way, but this post should have asked more questions and made less statements. On Sathiyan: the strongest and highest level part of his game coming up was his blocking game, he developed his looping game to a higher...

Yoshimura was hiding the serve with his head. Once that became harder for him to continue and people figured out how to read the serve regardless, his serve advantages were not as strong. He is still a dangerous and talented player.

Who is the top Gewo player? Victas has Niwa and Duda, I believe. The level of the user matters and is the selling point. Aruna uses a 50+ degree (I have heard 58, but I am not sure) Rhyzm-P. Obviously he likely boosts it. One person who used Timo's and Samsonov's said the sponges were...

Yes. Both Chinese Taipei and Hong Kong are part of China.

The Boll-Freitas match was amazing. Freitas being unable to convert one of those match points changed the whole match. His play in general was inspiring and it was good to see him bring out the best of Timo Boll.

His power is the one thing that consistently bothers Freitas and Monteiro (with Apolonia, the weather is important to check). There are no easy matches for Timo here except he gets to play Apolonia early.
