It isn't about whether it is good or not - it just decides too often.

The scientific approach works much better than you think it does if you can measure objective physical properties of the blade under fairly standard conditions. In fact, I suspect that with 3 or 4 numbers or at most 10 measurements, you can get bout 90-95% predictability about how well a blade...

Proof doesn't work the way you think it does, but there is no point debating it. There is a lot of evidence that the TT demographic is aging and the sport is less popular. Experimenting with the sport is not a bad thing even if this particular experiment might not be the answer. And it is...

I don't think it does.

If it was tied, she would have played a single tie breaker point. Winning that point gave her the game, margin doesn't matter. Kill zone is umpire decision but usually if the game ends in the last two minutes of the session and they can start a new one. It is to avoid stupid scores like 2-0...

Have been training much less, but I will probably need to try to see a doctor again at some point to address chronic injuries and reevaluate the possibilities. Just too lazy procrastinating... Still playing well. Gone to a very neutral grip and playing decently. IT is really funny how grip...

I think he misses the impact of economic competition on the ability of sports to survive. If he took it more seriously, he would understand why making some modifications to entertainment and commercialization are extremely important.

You are making a lot of assumptions about TT in China. Who has more fans, Yao Ming or Ma Long? Lebron James or Ma Long? Tiger Woods or Ma Long? When you pose the question that way, then it isn't too unbelievable that Simone Biles might have more fans than Ma Long. Not wrong or right, just...

You just don't follow the Olympics generally. You would probably have never heard of Ma Long either if you were not a TT fan.

This format even for singles matches has some potential to me.

His point is still valid.

Because the line is useless unless you are playing doubles and potentially ruins the aesthetics to someone who isn't used ti the line?

Nope, length of fingernails is not as important as catching the ball on the fingernails, which can be easier if you have long fingernails,

Why not? The most important thing is for our sport to have a commercially viable and publicly respected model.

Sure. Sure. Truthfully, it is not that simple.

How could they not get Xu Xin and JEan Michael Saive for this?

Lovely performance by CIC - that she managed to tie that was just brilliant when she could easily have lost 0-4.

Ding Ning is a shark!

If you don't watch live, you have to wait for the edited version on TV. Not a bad idea, IMO, given how much money they are spending on marketing this.

What will be more interesting is how all this will look edited on TV. It reminds me of Team tennis, but they have to work on the scoring a little more.
