check out the last set Mizutani vs Apolonia, point 11:10. Best rally of the year. Both were tired with this point and tried not to loose the shot. Absolutely amazing.

I would add that you strokes have a lot of spin and can be not easy to block during game play. But on the other hand you hit the ball quite late and that gives the opponent time to adapt and block the ball to your backhand. I advise start first topspin closer to the table, and then when you are...

I do not know the US rating system, but in Poland we have the leagues. There is extraclass and 5-6 leagues. Definitely both of you are level of the lowest league in Poland. Your opponent is better, why: 1. Eventhough he is older, he is moving much better then you, you are standing in one...

It is all about the money. Same as Formula 1, if you want to have to race in your country you have to pay a lot of money. Malaysia is rich country so maybe that was the idea. Of course ITTF should put in the contract the rule of minimum spectators, so the organizer should bring the people to the...

or a sign of "I have no idea what to do, so maybe I serve long and my opponent miss the shot" Why 9:6, next point went to Liam. He was on fire, but lost next two point. Then you have perfect situation 2 matchpoints, 2 serves and timeout. Why not taking time out to settle the stratege for last...

I do not know if they are paid or not, but surely they support china not in the way most spectators do. I wonder if Mizutani break his leg they will be happy or not.

For me if someone is better it is enough to win. I never understand chinese audience behavior. There is a simple rule, do not interfere when the game is on. It seems chinese people do not care about it. It was clearle visible in the first set fukuhara vs LSW. The other thing is (this is...

Do not take offense, but there is a rule that when somebody plays good or start winning many forum users start searching for his equipment. Probably if he had lost to Oshima easily, then you would not bother what equipment he uses.

Do you think it really matters? He plays really decent. His control and strategy is great playing softer then all other players.

Walker illegal serves? I understand you suport england, but if they has to win I prefer legal way - not referee help.

japanese coaches strategy is quite strange. I remember men's coach two years ago kept Seya Kishikawa playing although he was loosing everything. Now same coach, same strategy with Koki Niwa, who is not in good form whole year. Young players like Yoshimura and Oshima did great job last year and...

Men gold - china silver - japan bronze - korea republic women gold - china silver - japan bronze - Korea republic

1. How about working for ITTF - the person like you with so much respect from other players should easily make changes. 2. Is there a Chance there will be JOW statue in Sweden? Ai fukuhara already have it in Tokyo. 3. There were many questions about tactics. Most people Wonder if your victories...

schlager was always very irregular. After he won world championships many players beat him. There was a rumor who else can beat world champion. Still he is the best server ever appeared. His whole game is based on his serves. His footwork is very poor but using his serves he can still play top...

for me this is the second place. First one is the one with Liu Guoliang - of course it is block. I am a bit older so I remember olympics final with Philippe Gatien, there were many great blocks by Waldner as well.

Ittf should organize some kind of tournament to say goodbye to the greatest. All best players should come and bow for the master.

the last backhand by Kreanga - wow,

Kreanga is the only one active player. He is taking scalps of to 50 players so I would be very surprised if he does not win it. Of course Waldner is Waldner.

I am not sure if ovtcharov is going to play. His recent form at german open made me thinking he needs some rest. Anyway if he is going to perform like in German Open, it will be very difficult to advance to the final. He can be beaten by apolonia, samsonov, fegerl and gionis. Freitas is also...

if seo hyowon beats lee ho ching and wu yang advance to the final then ishikawa should win the tournament, she is doing great against defenders.
