Usually, when someone posts that a nameless top 100 player contradicts my opinion from 2 years ago, my first question is that since I am not hiding my real name nor my videos, who is this top player? IT's been well established that what pros often use can have subtle differences from commercial...

I suspected as much but didn't have the detail - to have 3 major players all out of action is a lot. Luckily, their top 2 are largely unaffected (though there seems to be the usual unhappiness that they are naturalized Germans).

What is really interesting is that Sabine Winter and Petrissa Solja are not where they usually are. Even Kristin (Can't remember her new last name). Has Mittleham really surpassed them all?

Responding to a post made 2 years ago in the way you made it given the changes in ball technology and even rubbers since I made it is deserving of the response BRS gave. You could add it to the debate as your own opinion. As a response to me, it is just ridiculous.

Probably mild food poisoiing. Happens often enough.

Boll will never be given his full credit. People like Dima are blessed to train with him.

FZD and LGY in Finals. LSW and ZYL. The usual.

I am now 95% sure that LGY lost to JM on purpose. Just kidding. But the silver lining of being on opposite sides of the draw is great.

Getting the same result in fewer games is more efficient. If you don't agree, that is fine. But the math is about the efficiency. It is not about the math.

It's just a mathematical way of rewarding a 3-0 win and 1-3 loss over a 3-1 win an 2-3 loss. Think about it, it is not as "stupid" as it seems. The ratio is a short way of getting the same result.

Chen Chien An is not out either. Noshad Alamiyan is the unlucky one. Miu Hirano still has a chance. Hopefully, she realizes she has to work even harder.

Mizutani's reward for winning his group is a match with Fan. Very unfortunate.

Humble pie...

I don't think this is fair to FZD but that said, the group you listed is called the special generation for a reason. As dominant as China has been, these guys were considered special.

A group with 3 lefties and FZD. Shows you what TT can be like...

There are also Super league and trial wins. But the one above just after the Olympics is the easiest to forget.

Sure. And he could also gather himself without the timeout or get coaching. That is why the focus of a timeout is YOU. Focusing on what the opponent needs is dangerous unless you know him well. In fact many players do not know how to talk to themselves during their own timeouts. Their...

My approach is to always try different plays and to always play seriously. I might try serves or plays I rarely use but used at one time, whether fast long serves, backhand reverse or baby tomahawk. I might chop long serves or just pop up the ball and run back on rare points. You never know...

The tactic should not be used to kill momentum even if that is a reasonable side effect in some instances. The tactic should be used to put yourself in the best mental position to win the points you need to win. I stress to people all the time that whether it it works or not, the focus of a...

TT is taking huge steps to make itself a better sport. Still ways to go but this is a massive step in the right direction - English commentary!
