Usually I would vote for Jean-Mi, I certainly hope he finally wins the Morrocco Open lol after Samsonov didn't enter last year he had his big chance but lost to 15 year old Hugo Calderano, so this is another test for Saive. Looking at the entry list I can't help but feel Salifou has the upper...

I think it often comes down to the fact that he doesn't have a strong follow up attacking game, sometimes he can play a great attacking ball but then revert to being passive again if it gets even a mild counter attacking ball. If he really had that killer instinct and a sense of conviction I...

Agree with above, Baracuda is a great rubber for control combined with spin and speed. In terms of durability I think at the rate you are playing it should be fine for at least 3 months.

Getting sponsorship isn't actually that difficult nationally. You can get sponsored by national agents without too much hassle, they will sponsor rising talent and those with good results. It's when you aim for sponsorship with the international company itself that you have to have a bit more of...

Natalia Partyka :D

Matsudaira lost 4-3 to ZJK in Austria and lost 4-2 to Xu Xin in Paris, if that trend continues then he may pose more of a threat come 2016 or even the next world championships. I'm not saying Koki Niwa and Kenta are going to beat these players, i'm saying they are a realistic threat and it is a...

I think he's too soft and has too much of a tendency to go back from the table. Yes, he is a good touch player, a good lobber and achieves good spin, HOWEVER sometimes his lack of aggression can cause him problems and let his opponents gain control over the table. Mizutani has had some good...

What a great insight :)

Nice start to the season for Timo, it will be interesting to see what he learned from last time he played in China and whether he can bring something new back to his second season there.

A cool, I always got on well with the guys from WA :)

What state do you play in?

Well Koki Niwa has 3 more years of experience to soak up, and Matsudaira has come back out of nowhere again to put himself back in the spotlight.

I would say by 2016 Japan and South Korea will likely be their biggest adversaries based on current trends.

OH of course, I was just speaking about last Olympics, I can't see Wang Hao having the chance to go again.

Rookie error :P

Xu Xin's case for the Olympics probably came a little too late, Zhang Jike and Wang Hao had already asserted themselves as the best two candidates, I think Wang Hao was probably considered more steady on the big stage than Ma Long which a point which has really been proven even long after the...

Impressive for him to just seemingly come from nowhere to capture such big results, I wonder how it all came together, if he's changed something in his training or something like that.

Sounds fairly typical to me, there are a lot of cases.
