Unlucky yoshimura in 3rd set, he had a great set point, but like Yan An missed high ball.

Yeah Yan An will have nightmares about this point. so far only Mima Ito is the player who defeated chinese player.

Maharu Yoshimura! Gonna be great match with Shang Kun.

Ok but I would like to see the match. I do not remember Ma Long ever lost to Shang Kun. Maybe he was injured? I am not a big fan of Ma Long, but he is much better then Shang Kun. He does not lost many simple shots like Shang Kun. Or maybe Shang Kun had the best day since he was born, and Ma Long...

pity for Kenji matsudaira, he was very close to beat Joo.

Of course I always wait for big matches and close ones. So if he defeat Gardos (which is very likely) he will have to face Ma Long. I hope it will be tough match. Fang Bo also do not have much international experience. Not long ago Masato Shiono beat him in first round quite easily. First he has...

Just saw him playing with Kishikawa - nothing special, so many simple mistakes, and he is not very young. In China league he has 8 wins and 7 losses.

Very true Tony. I would just add that understanding pips is connected with age. Usually older players (experienced ones) do not struggle so much with LP opponent. Young players are couched to play inverted vs inverted - that is why they are so good in rallies and blocks. But if you start...

Great lineup. It is going to be great event. I hope Masato Shiono will take some scalps, maybe fang bo again.

Anyway great defensive control by FZD

4 out of 5 rating for Bluefire JP 01 Good rubber, little similar to T05. Defnitely for play close to the table, and definitely not for amateurs. The sponge is quite hard and also low throw angle make it not easy to play long way rallies. Very good for blocking, you can easily decide where to...

Great post, absolutely true. I would just add one thing. Your "villain" got some easy points, but when he has to face much better opponent, his LP will be his weakness and if he do not work hard, he will be easy scalp. Everyone who is really good with LP will tell you that LP demands more work...

Of course it is hard to explain, here you have some nice explanation: http://www.gregsttpages.com/articles3/53-articles/long-pimples/115-why-do-long-pimples-wobble Anyway of course it is the spin from inverted rubber. The biggest problem is with amateurs or low level players, they use too much...

Agreed and also please remember during matches your puls is much higher especially after long rally, so it is not easy to stay calm like pracitsing serve. Then you make it little to high and you get killed.

In fact all about this kind of serve is to place if very close to the net.

Wobbling effect - this is something to discuss. Some rubbers have huge disturb effect and this is not fair in my opinion. When we talk about modern table tennis we know the discussion is about the spin and understanding it. That is why more then 10 years ago the rules about the serve has...

There was a time when Kim Minseok was really competitive player, but watching this game looks like amateur, especially with his BH flick.

It seems all chinese players love to go to hairdresser.

Nice review I think I will give a try to bh side, it should be good for initiating first attack. I understand that you are tibhar sponsored player so maybe you how I Can find information about rubber production date, it should be somewhere on the plastic cover.
