So, ZJK and XX qualified - when the other three will be announced?

You are right. Anyway, I think that regardless of any further matches the final 5 will be ZJK, ML, WH, XX and FZD.

XX won 3:0 against WH. So now XX and FZD qualify along with ZJK and the final will not have any importance. However, I'm 100% sure that ML and WH will join the other three to complete the 5 man team for the WTTTC.

According to sports.sohu.com Fan Zhendong won 3:2 against Ma Long (11:8, 11:13, 11:9, 3:11, 11:7) and he is in the final.

Several times I see situations that one of the players hit the ball which then hits the top of the net and goes over the table (i.e. no bounce in the opponent's field) and the other player returns the ball and the game continue. I don't know of any rules which allow the game to continue (i.e...

http://www.idwebtv.com/cctv-5/ works better for me.

Because in China the injured players get only 2 days for recovery... and a good recovery for a muscle strain (or whatever it is) should be at least 2 months.

The Chinese players are training 24/7 therefore they are the best (i.e. more practice = more wins). Making the game simpler will lower the gap between the Chinese and other players. At professional level the game will become more interesting (if the Chinese players start loosing). However, at...

What is the equipment of Zhang Jike in Paris? Is he using Tenergy 80 on backhand?

Yeah, I looked it over and over again and I cannot understand why they didn't make handshake? I remember few years ago Zhang Jike didn't make handshake with Ma Long after loosing 4:0 and afterwards he was criticized a lot by the Chinese coaches and fans.

According to the lampnmarco's comment of the youtube video, Wang Hao said - "you've done really good after dropping the first three sets and don't be so sad".

Actually, I didn't see any progress in the Ma Long's technical game since WTTC 2011. He still have the same weak backhand and therefore looses all the backhand rallies. I think the person to blame is his coach since he didn't train him properly.

Well, friend of mine knows a person that recently visited the Shanghai training school and he noticed that the people there are preparing for celebrations of the Xu Xin's win (just like they know that he will win the title). I hope he just got a wrong impression.

The problem of Zhang Jike is the motivation in small events and the early stages in big events. Now he seems to be enough motivated to do his best. The Ma Long problem is actually the opposite - "overmotivation". He was so upset that he didn't participate in the Olympics singles so now he wants...

It was mentioned by commentator in one of the Zhang Jike's matches but I don't remember which match exactly (I think it was Qatar or Kuwait Open).

Well, in the review of Tenergy 80, Jun Mizutani and Seiya KISHIKAWA mentioned that they are going to use it (not clear when exactly). However, there are rumors that Zhang Jike switched to T80 and this is one of the reasons of his poor results this year.

Well, you miss something - Tenergy 05′s pips are shorter and closer together than Tenergy 64, which has much longer and more spaced out pips (i.e. you miss the lenght of the pips). This is shown here: http://www.experttabletennis.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/tenergy-pip-size.jpg This results...

Something is very wrong here - I also tested the rubbers and Butterfly is right: 64 is hardest and 64>80>05 (hardness) and 05>80>64 (spin). There are a lot of people getting wrong impression because (I found few reasons): 1. They test the rubbers on different blades. The rubbers should be...

Actually, I found few reviews of the poly balls on internet and everybody evaluates the balls in the same way.

I see that the ITTF Ranking has changed - it was XX, ZJK, ML and now is XX, ML, ZJK. Strange reorder, ZJK won Kuwait open but ML passed him... Anyway, this means in the next world tour the semis will be XX vs ZJK and ML vs WH which doesn't chage the situation much...
