That defend style seems to be pretty succesful though.
Do you think if Valuch had better results and would be ranked higher he still wouldn't play?
Well..
How to say this.. Our table tennis federation pushes Novota instead of him, but we all know who is better.
Before they pushed Kalužný instead of Valuch, but I dont remember Valuch ever losing to him.
Last time when there was a "prepare" tournament, Valuch beat Šereda, Novota, Pištej. He beat them all. Yet he lost to others, because he just didnt care. He aimed to beat the best and he did.
But .. our asociation or federation or what the hell it is, they push their people, and that is not Valuch.
They had quite few tournaments to determine who will go to WTTC.. but all quit at Slovak championships, where Valuch was unfortunate and met Thomas Keinath in early round, having quite tough match (I will upload this one soon), then tiread Keinath lost to Novota, and Novota ended up second. (having really easy draw, to be honest).
So for Slovakia it is Wang Yang, Lubomír Pištej, Samuel Novota and Peter Šereda, still Šereda plays not very well lately, so I really dont understand this decision. Also Novota is far worse than Valuch. And Valuch is U21 european doubles champion.
Obviously, some people dont care for some relevant thoughts..
