Amen to that!

I agree -you can see that they are doing specific new things designed for Hirano. They are pushing her serve extremely heavy much more rather than pushing to get into a rally. She served her topspin kicker to Chen's backhand and Chen looped it without hesitation which Hirano was completely...

I watched the match. There is a lot of good stuff in there still. The problem is that Hirano is still unable to appreciate what she did to the Chinese and thinks that the degree to which she beat then should have given her some margin. But what the Chinese have done is study in great detail...

Great seeing Ma Lin on the sidelines, he did make it after all.

If we made FZD 4 years younger and gave him a sex change, he would play and look like Sun Yingsha. The Lady is impressive.

But ZJK didn't blame his situation and Samsonov did not blame his age. I haven't seen the LGY match yet, but LGY beat Boll yesterday so unless you know something I don't know, let us give LSS nuff respect and stop saying he used anything to beat them.

It really depends on the total level that LSS displays. ML did lose to JSE after all. LSS is going to play Mizutani and that will say a lot.

So the million dollar question is - Should LGY retire??!?!?!??! Sorry... couldn't resist after people were piling on ZJK and Samsonov for losing to LSS...

Without video, the problem is impossible to answer.

For the doubles, they should have an automatic rule that when a country is to face itself in the Semis, they should end the semis and do a group of 4 round robin for the title, best of 3, all play all, games are to 15 with two serves rule. Automatic rule only applied to situations like Japan...

Whatever the explanation, it makes absolutely no sense. It doesn't matter the explanation, everything I think of falls apart when considering Japan's current TT status and the 2020 Olympics.

China got a new enemy today, his name is Kazuhiro Yoshimura. I was a bit disappointed he could not win u21 and I am sure they will neutralize him eventually. Will fun to see such players when Mizutani is acting like his Olympic bronze completed his career.

Ranking is about participation and performance, not playing strength.

Wow, at 3-1 8-7, Kenta enters a time machine and starts playing like his 2013 version with amazing blocking!

Read the whole original post again if this is how you understand his intent.

Yes. She is proving her rating.

Agreed - a 13 year old backhand oriented player going up against a 20 year old with one of the best backhands in the CNT - not a good matchup and it was more competitive than it could have been.

Team and doubles titles count for the requirements, so the hardest requirement is really the coaching one, as coaching a player to a championship is a commitment. Ma Lin kinda got cheated out of the opportunity with Ma Long unless they give him credit sitting in China, but Wang Hao couldn't do...

If you have ever beaten someone you always lose to when it counts, you know that is not how it works. Even the ones that didn't count, you will pretend to others that they don't count, but you know what it really meant to you. And this one counts. It is not WTTC but it counts. If it didn't...

What I found most interesting was that I had used (and liked) Big Dipper on the KJH but wasn't willing to commit (I don't like how tacky rubbers block when I play players I can block down without moving). KAris H kinda feels like that but I will practice a bit today. The KJH has the hardest...
