Anyone else think Dima's strokes are too long for his quickness? He struggles to recover his position too often.

His opening shots often were very soft giving away the initiative. But I think we have to give a lot of credit to Kristian, he played extremely well.

Lee Sangsu vs Vladi and XX vs Calderano, place your bets!

Dima's out! Great play by Karlsson playing some great shots during crucial moments!

Samsonov 3-1 down vs Lee

Dima has to do some work on his short FH push, because from what I saw there he lost his match.
Anyways pretty sad to me..
I wanted Steger to win, but Gauzy is ok too.
I wanted Dima to win, Karlsson is not so good..
I wanted Vladi to win..

I was hoping Hugo would take at least one game..
Well, too bad..

I have never seen that china's coach. No LGL china will loose

JEOUNG has the right approach against FAN, trying many BH down the line, unfortunately it was very risky and he could not land enough of those.

TableTennisDaily · Oct 2, 2016

We have just done a mini interview with Fan Zhendong at the World Cup 2016 after his victory against Jeoung Youngsik.

Interviewer: Your only 19 years old, what does it feel like to be number 2 in the world?

Fan Zhendong: I'm not number 1 yet like Ma Long, so I have a long way to go right?

Interviewer: Did you expect the match to be that difficult against Jeoung Youngsik.. of course he is improving having taken 2 sets of Ma Long at the Rio Olympics.

Fan Zhendong: I knew it wouldnt be that easy. I had many mistakes in the first set which I needed to cut in order to win. I expected the result and I believed I could win.

I'm gonna be generous and blame Ovtcharov's performance lately (losing to lesser opponents) on having a baby. Maybe too distracted? Loss of sleep?

Strong tournament for Karlsson

Hes buzzing. Kristian has such a great mental approach, always jogging, always on his feet fighting for every point!

I thought gerell had short pips on the BH. But it seems like he doesn't anymore?

I don't think Gerell has ever played with short pips on BH.

Tembel · Oct 2, 2016

Seems Gerell is tilting now. No way back in this game ...
