Men's World Cup 2017

Ma Long and Niwa Koki did what they had to (ML beat Omar 4-1 and NK beat LSS 4-2). Niwa called time-out when he lead 10-6 in the final set. It was a wise decision, still ended up 11-9.
Freitas vs Lin Gaoyuan and Timo Boll vs Tsuboi starting now!

Wait, how many points did Timo just win in a row? What a demoralizing start for Tsuboi...

Why did I see that coming? Timo from 4-10 to 12-10. IT wasn't demoralizing = the difference in class is too obvious and Tsuboi couldn't win a point when he had to come up with a play to do so.

Eh, his body languages tells us otherwise...

NextLevel · Oct 21, 2017

Gustavo's body language is that of someone who ended up realizing that he can't win a point if he is trying to do so and that he just has to play and enjoy the match. Timo has also realized he can win whenever he (Timo) raises his quality and has gotten lazy as well.

And here I was, thinking that Tsuboi probably knew before hand that Mr. Boll is a few leagues above him. Timo probably knew beforehand that he is going to win this if nothing drastic happens. They probably have a better idea about these things than both of us. But maybe that was just me.

He led by a lot, however that has come about, then lost a vast amount of points in a row. That is always demoralizing. Hence the tormented looking face, the hanging shoulders, the slow walking.
Why does this always have to be so difficult

Freitas not with a real chance against Lin in the end

Mizutani decimated Aruna 4:0. Goes on to show why poise , balance and technique are so important to get to the top of TT.

I can't understand those who cry about only short exchanges. These matches are full of epic rallies.

Garrison · Oct 21, 2017

Dima vs Kou Lei evolved into an exciting match

ajtatosmano2 · Oct 21, 2017

So did the Shibaev - CCY. Wait, no, it was exciting from the beginning!

Michal_Z · Oct 21, 2017

Hmm, looks like Chuang is done.. Too bad..

Ilia Minkin · Oct 21, 2017

Shiba is the man! Why CCY didn't take time out though...

akoozab · Oct 21, 2017

Shibaaa!

akoozab · Oct 21, 2017
