  1. Hungary's early table tennis Dominance

    Apart from Viktor Barna, I know of one other former Hungarian player, namely Andreas Podpinka, who played for Belgium in the 1980s and 1990s and achieved some fame with the Belgian national team alongside the incomparable Saive brothers and Martin Bratanov.
  2. ITTF WTTTC Finals London 2026, 4/28-5/10

    Not at all, the Belgian players also have low WTT rankings, with one below #215, one below #750, and Margo D G doesn’t even have a ranking. So everyone played at her level.
  3. Run-in between Moregard and SBTF?

    Mmmm, I don’t think travelling and being away from his family really play a major role. Besides, Truls also plays regularly for Olympiakos in Athens, Greece. He always plays with his team at the weekend, whenever necessary and whenever his schedule allows, so I suppose he’s away from home for at...
  4. Andro Legacy

    Andro has recently launched four new blades, the Legacy range. These are named after four ‘legendary players’, namely: Ralf Wosik, Danny Heister, Kamal Achanta and Damien Eloi. You can find details here.
  5. Andro NUZN 45 Review: A Controlled Hybrid Tensor for the Backhand

    I’ve been playing with a Nuzn 45° on my forehand for a few weeks now (just once a week for about 2½ to 3 hours). My blade is an Andro TP_Ligna All Wood. I’ve switched from a Gewo Hype XTpro 40° rubber, which I played with for several years to my great satisfaction, but I’d like to try something...
  6. United Table Tennis Players Association

    From a few days ago here in Greece, “Dear members and friends of table tennis, Following the completion of the election procedures on April 14, 2026, which were conducted successfully and with massive participation, we are pleased to announce the formation of the new Board of Directors (B.O.)...
  7. WTT Contender Taiyuan-2026 (7 - 12 April 2026)

    As if it were nothing, with ease. She somehow managed to hit an incredible number of balls across the table. It was as if she were testing out practice balls.
  8. WTT Contender Taiyuan-2026 (7 - 12 April 2026)

    There’s a lot to be said about Romain Ruiz’s service!
  9. WTT Contender Taiyuan-2026 (7 - 12 April 2026)

    Just the rubber?😏
  10. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

    Sora still needs to learn to laugh, even after losing a final, but I suppose I can understand why.
  11. ITTF Men's and Women's World Cup Macao 2026, 3/30-4/5

    Hana is the girl who can beat Sun – and should have beaten her yesterday with her BH. Goda is pretty much the only one on the women’s circuit who can do this. Yesterday I watched one of the most entertaining women’s races of recent years. Sun was clearly saved by the bell!
  12. GEWO Lineup

    They weren't on the Schöler-Micke website yesterday, but unlike Contra, I can see them now.
  13. GEWO Lineup

    It appears there is now also a new range of hybrid rubbers, the ICONIXX-HXT series, available in the following hardness levels: 45, 48, 50 & 55. It doesn’t seem to me to be a coincidence that Gewo is now launching these rubbers shortly after Andro released its HY-Q series. I wonder if this new...
  14. WTT Champions Chongqing 2026 Presented by AITO (10 - 15 March 2026)

    And with illegal services, like many others. WTT
  15. WTT Feeder Düsseldorf-2026 (2 - 6 March 2026)

    You're not going to compare Luka to Sabine, are you? One of them has long since proven that they can play table tennis.
  16. WTT Feeder Düsseldorf-2026 (2 - 6 March 2026)

    Rassenfosse!💪
  17. WTT Feeder Düsseldorf-2026 (2 - 6 March 2026)

    Gionis vs Mladenovic: 1-3 😢
  18. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    Certainly not against Wang, but since his move to Zyre, his FH has improved remarkably.
  19. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    I am not detracting from Wang's performance at all, but if you miss almost all BH flips after Wang's service and your own service (i.e. on the second or third ball), it is difficult to speak of a dominant game from your opponent. The third and fourth sets were slightly better, but Lin certainly...
  20. Singapore Smash 2026, Singapore, 2/19-3/1

    Lin's successful banana flips could be counted on one hand, especially in the first two sets. Almost everything from his backhand went over the table or into the net, and that was already during the second rally. So this was not a credit to Wang, but unusually poor play from Lin. After that...
