WTTC Sarajevo, 1973

No need for insults. :LOL: Maybe so, but this year's final four was more than alright. Also, decent attendance and atmosphere.

Man, I'm so happy you made this decision, Mr. chairman of the ETTU. I have. I happen to be old enough to remember Champions league finals from the Primorac era when the megaphones and the sirens in sold out venues were actually welcomed. How old are you?

Ban the only six people who actually showed up and bought tickets. Great idea. 😆

Yeah, I got that impression too. Anton was already satisfied by reaching the final as it was, whereas for Felix, losing the final would have been perceived as failure. So when Felix upped the ante, Anton just didn't have the necessary spark to respond.

You mean, he wasn't prepared to receive? He would have raised his hand if that were the case. He's an experienced professional, not a kid playing his first tournament.

Anton played some of the best table tennis of his career... Until game six. It was like Felix suddenly snapped back into the reality where he's the world number two playing the guy who never beat him. Anton noticed and just... Gave up.

Felix never lost to Anton, I don't think there's anything left for him to learn about him. Especially not after that game seven, holy crap.

Queen Elisabeth of Russia, lmao. :ROFLMAO: Kallberg in peak form, gotta admit. Felix still has a long way to go. Has to learn to keep his cool.

Thank god Shellberry won, Felix v. discount Xu Xin would be a snooze fest.

Underestimate Tami at your own peril. So many have learned the hard way.

ETTU's so called "EXTENDED highlights", and the service fault controversy is completely skipped.

Kallberg definitely an expert authority on beating Truls, having beaten him that one time.

Jorgic was never gonna make it.

Zadar got a ton of crap in the media last year for low attendance. What's Ljubljana's excuse?

Lets do a drinking game. You do a shot of Vodka every time he calls Abraamian "Russian" and I'll do one when he calls Hursey "Welsh". Who gets drunk first? EDIT: Haha, Russian resurgence! :ROFLMAO: This dude is a master troll.

I love how the ETTU still refuses to put the Russian flag 🇷🇺 in the official graphics, but the commentator keeps repeating the word "Russian" every few seconds. :ROFLMAO:

And I was supposed to get all this from "Freitas match removed his limitations."? :ROFLMAO: Yes, changing tempo and tactical pivots are essential components of competitive table tennis. This is where coaches come in. They sit in their corner, observe and analyze. And all this amounts to...

Unlike us, elite athletes undergo psychological training with specialized professionals who get paid serious money for it.
