    Some of the things your write betray a level of intemperance that is puzzling. Injury before or after a match is different from injury during the match as that often affects the opponent as well. But in any case, I like your suspicion as it shows the level of respect you hold for Aruna and Boll.

    Just saw this. Maybe I am oversimplifying what I mean but what I mean is that Aruna needs to play more against these kinds of players. There are too many variables he needs to adapt to vs a regular player. Ma Long probably doesn't know, like I do, that Quadri and CCY have played before. In that...

    Glad to hear you say it so directly. People do not realize that some of this stuff happened in the Commonwealth games in 2014 in a celluloid ball tournament. The biggest change was that the head of the Nigerian TTF had started encouraging players to play Pro tours. That's part of the reason...

    My impression was very different. I saw Aruna using his athleticism to win the rallies. In fact, Aruna thrives on using his forehand in rallies so your statements are puzzling. In any case, I think we have very different perspectives on Aruna since I watch him closely as a Nigerian and you...

    I debated some of this on mytt and it is mostly true, but not 100%. In 2012, China could also have removed Wang Hao and sent Ma Long. But China has a tradition of sending World Champions and Olympic Champions. That is where Ma Long had not proven himself yet. Someone listed all the people...

    It is not consistent against whom? Again, the point is that when you have to recover, you either get faster or you measure your shot better. People evolve. If you can't return my forehand, why should I plan to recover? When I see it come back a few times, then I will get into the habit or...

    So how many posts have people opened on Lebesson? Platonov? Or other similarly high level forehands with unique methodology?

    Fukuhara decided to conserve energy for the third place match.

    The youtube scanning devices that automatically remove videos have gotten smarter so you have to do things to hide the Olympic rings etc.

    English is probably not your first language. I am not blaming anything on equipment - I am saying that there is a level of play and quality of ball that Aruna has not familiarized himself with and he needs to play against that level more consistently to be able to deal with it. If you have not...

    I think what you might underestimate is how exposed the top Europeans are to the Chinese. Nigeria has a strong TT tradition dating back to the days of Atanda Musa and his teammates in the 80s and Segun Toriola's in the 90s and 2000s. So the players can pretty much learn Nigerian technique...

    Carl jinxed him. But on a serious note, I have seen that match before - I saw it earlier this year when Aruna played Xu Xin. So I knew what to expect and didn't have any high hopes - the CNT really get up when they play Aruna. The problem is that you can't deal with that CNT quality of ball...

    And people said I was being racist... I have heard this arguments on mytt as well. People trying to rationalize why Aruna is beating Boll and come up with all kinds of excuses. People also overthink TT technique sometimes. There is nothing inherently wrong with Aruna's technique. Recovery...

    Mizutani too good for game 7.

    Carl, I have warned you to stop jinxing my man!!! Stop it. As we say where I come from, you and I will wear the same pair of trousers if you continue this jinxing!

    Yes, it fits the bill.

    They play in the Super League. Nothing secret about that.

    Fukuhara ruined my bracket. But if anyone can ruin my bracket and leave me not so angry, Fukuhara is the one. She gets too much criticism in Japan. I hope she beats the Korean chopper in the 3rd place match.
