Even I'm a Zhang jike fan but come on guys! Ma Long simply played better today and of course he deserved to win. I'm just a bit disappointed because it wasn't a very close match.

Come on guys! Let's face it, Zhang jike isn't god. He played but he lost. As simple as that. But I'm a bit disappointed because not winning even one set. Anyway congratulations to Ma Long :)

So you just want ZJK to lose this one? May i ask what is your problem with him? I hope -and i'm sure- ZJK or ML will win the title. Both of them deserve it: ML, because he always puts his heart in the game. ZJK, because he is fantastic to watch when he is on top form. It doesn't really make a...

I have just find this here: http://www.prott.cc/Product-Details.aspx?productcode=Protenergy Don't know its real or not. As far as i know there is pro versions of rubbers like Tenergy, Hurricane,... But i'm not sure that regular people (i mean not sponsored players) can buy/use them.

Cool! I'm looking forward to those documentaries.

i think the ball is number 10

ZJK got injured after quarter-final match against Brazil. But LGL said it's not serious and he will be back soon. But i don't understand why LGL didn't send Ma Long to play instead of him.

Did Ma Long play any match beside the doubles with ZJK?

I'm looking forward to them!

Great smash! Never seen anything like that. By the way, he is Stefan Fegerl not Gardos :) Here is another great rally: January 8th: Zhang Jike vs Robert Gardos

Incredible Video!

Yes, It was built to be speed glued but its not necessary to do that. Its just a matter of preference. Hurricane 2 and Hurricane 3 (not the neo versions) was built to be speed glued but some players like those without boosting because it just make the rubber too soft for their style. I'm using...

Did you know Dimirtij Ovtcharov lost 6 times in the first round of World Tour Grand Finals in his 7 appearances?

The poll is closed. And yes, Apolonia's shot won.

Forehand back swing is much bigger than BH so you can generate more power with your body and don't need much speed from your bat. But you can gain more control and spin by using a slower rubber with more dwell time.

Guys you are forgetting JSH. If he goes BH to BH with any player he will win the point. But i think ZJK has the most complete BH. Other players lack something on their BH. For example Kreanga has huge BH but he lacks on the table BH and often just block the ball.

Its not about the color of rubber. Most players use slower rubbers on their forehand compare to BH. FZD and other CNT players use hard and tacky rubbers on their FH which is great for looping but not good for smashing. So when they want to smash the turn the bat and use their faster and bouncier...

Oh, Its my mistake. I have edited that.

Nice info. But i think this kind of analysis has just too much detail. You can not think about all of it in a match. What you need is simple hints like: "he has problems with short side spin serves on his backhand side" or "Not to forget to play down the line blocks when your opponent steps...

Great detail there! I wonder if even CNT couches analysis the game with such detail.
