He did exactly the same server again and was not called the second time. BTW the video to monster refers to is really old. The ship has sailed on serve rules until we get serious ITTF leadership.

Li Jie needs to beat Ding Ning. That's the one I really want.

Initially, FZD was falling for it, but over time, he started expecting it more, and started playing the ball down the line more. FB never slipped when he just moved to the ball, he slipped when trying to pivot and got caught when the ball was not going where he expected. There is nothing...

Go see a doctor. Symmetrical irritation is a dangerous arthritic symptom so get that possibility eliminated asap.

Okay. We can agree to disagree. Fang Bo tried to pivot a lot on a better player and paid the price. That is my view and I am sticking to it. He would have slipped with better shoes.

Had absolutely nothing to do with his shoes and everything to do with over anticipating and getting caught by FZD changing direction. People forget that Yuya Oshima did something similar last year. It's really comes down to good serves and decent power. You have to win the first game as Ma...

Pros usually use straight topspin or no-spin when going down the line.

This is actually his third World Tour I remember - he was at the German Open and I believe also at the Japan Open.

ZJK went down 0-2 and 1-3. Could have lost games 3 and 5 and 6. Was actually up in the 7th significantly so credit CCA for hanging in there. The boredom factor is obvious. I just hope for CNT's sake that the diagnosis is 100% right.

Yesterday, I broke my rules and played a couple of matches on a rest and coaching day. Here is the video tape. IT's a guy I usually beat - I beat him easily in the first match, then I started experimenting and junking around and lost the next game 1-3. In the rubber, I messed around a little...

Chien Chen An 15-13 over Zhan Jike in the 7th.

Looks like I was wrong - Boll about to lose 1-4 to Flore.

Sure. That's why people celebrate after winning a match on someone's error. Give me a break. There is a point you are making, but you are really being parochial about it.

No one celebrates those *things* - they are celebrating their winning the point.

Oshima is young!

Tristan beat Lin Gaoyuan. Of course he can beat Boll. But I trust Boll. He will not be surprised by Flore.

CCA is playing ZJK. That is usually interesting...

They will use rankings in July for Olympic seeding. And people from the same country are on opposite halves of the draw in Olympics.

What is an unforced error in a game as tight and mentally demanding as table tennis? I get the gist of what you are saying but when you win a significant point, you are likely going to celebrate, whether the opponent served into the edge of his side or you looped the ball with immaculate...

Gathering information that is probably not going to do much. Don't pay me much mind - it is my way of berating myself and saying that I really need to work on my plays.
