1) Increase net height 2) Get back to 38mm ball More spin than speed, still athletic (to generate that spin), no big changes in mid/long distance rallies. And less annoying multiple sky-high lobs from 10m...when I smash I want my ball to go light speed with no chance for my opponent :D

crazy match between SYS and Kim

Ionescu is handling pressure in a great way. And perfect tactic....see how it goes, but not so simple for WCQ so far.... edit: 3rd game not so well now

I think we are on a "brink point" of this topic nowadays. Player side: Doing the same thing for 5 times a week per 8-10 years creates strong gabits; and habits give confidence, rythm, self encouragement, ecc... it's diffcult to suddendly change one of the most important part of your play. I'm...

He had and got it! Brilliant play from WRB, strange Truls after game loss when up 10-7

Bobocica seemed a bit tired in final match, but honestly Karlsson-Falck has been too explosive and constant for him. Congratulations anyway, hope it could be another step towards re-gaining his prime condition. :)

Can't wait to see Franziska vs WCQ. A bit poor performance from Alexis, but surgical play from Patrick

Honourable mention: Bobocica (ITA). Now in semifinal after a great series of precise and aggressive matches. Edit: and now final!

Don't know how it will go (rooting for Franziska by the way), but Franziska's backhand drive/loop is beautiful to look at, perfect textbook. I would admire his slow-motions forever :)

LSD 3 : 1 LJH LJH a bit lost in the game. LSD with more skills and safer shots.

Great effort from Hursey. But now crazy long rallies between Franziska and Lebrun A. :eek: Great match: calm and patient Franziska beat a hasty Lebrun.

Chooing or scream AFTER every point is something I personally don't like, but it doesn't affect the game directly; it could be a psychological problem for someone, but it is an offence hard to define....also staring could affect player's game as is intimidating for someone. I don't blame rules...

Tense match. Congratulations to both. JWJ-Sidorenko 3:2

Stay tuned for Sidorenko....down 0-5 and then set won :oops:

I think it's time that someone during a match would call the umpire against opponent's disturbing noises. I know it's difficult to decide if it's grunting or noise/voice....but something has to be done before whole thing turns into a stereo madness. Talking serious, it could really become a...

Rollercoaster match between Poret and UDA (3:2)! Shame that umpire wanted to be main character....

Difficult match for Sidorenko against MA Jingbao (3:2). Great victory for Monfardini vs Dragoman (3:2). Aggressive but conscious play for her

Christina was so close to be eliminated. in my opnion, Debora trusted too much her switching from BH to pivot FH...and too many time hit racket edge. But great performace anyway. Congrats to Monfardini too, with her thrilling 3:2 win

Hashimoto beat CY Her serves have tons of spin in any direction....

Thanks for all info you brought. I know it's difficult to draw a pro/non-pro line; maybe "famous/not-famous" suits better. As for being famous I mean that you can easy find info on them or about material they used also in young age due to sponsorhip or presence in big tournaments (Harimoto...
