Does anyone know what Dima was saying at the end of the game?

Taken from ittf.com:

Court Surrounds
The verdict went to Dimitrij Ovtcharov who did express some concerns about the court surrounds.

“There is an element of luck, the bounce of the ball is not always predictable”, explained Dimitrij Ovtcharov. “When the ball hits the LED surrounds it sometimes get scratched orr has blue marks, the ball hits one of those marks on the table, it can bounce higher.”

Yes I read it also, but it seemed he said something to Mizutani direction. Like always Dima has something to complain.

Eventually ITTV is back. Watching men's doubles finals: Apolonia just doesn't bother to remove his free hand out of the way at all. His serve is one of the most blatantly illegal among the ones I've seen. While other people seem to be creative, using their body or even the head, Apolonia just doesn't bother. Maybe home court helps them to get away with that.

wow look at the dude xx has back then. He would scare a bear of if it saw him :) I think ML is the one who is in the best shape, but anything can happen when it is the best 4 Chinese in the semi's. As I said earlier it would be good to see ZJK to his old self :)

Hey Croneone, it's the DHS one, just read it in the prospectus here:http://ittf.com//WorldTours/2015/24_...ctus_FINAL.pdf

Cool thanks. I was just watching the Samsonov/Xin match and around 19:20 the announcer notices that there's been a few shots where the ball doesn't seem to grip.

Also at 53:25 he mentions that the ball skids almost as if it's wet. Vladi's shot at 53:00 certainly looks skiddy.

I have a solution - Nittaku Premium 40+ :)

Samsonov is my new favourite player now! He plays the angles and work the spin to he's favour in a way that put Xu Xin to shame. He rly deserved to win but even such a great game could not break the younger Xu Xin that was all over the court chasing the ball.

So it is logical to have the 4 top Chinese player in semi final? It is really hard to see non chinese players in the big titles, World Championship, World Cup, even this Grand Finals, what is left then? I hope one day i don't see European Champion or African Champion is chinese too, lol
