Dima played well and Fzd really didn't play enough balls to Dimas body and/or his fh. Fzd once again shows a lack for tactical skills. But that is what Wang Hao is for so what is Wang Hao really doing in the corner? Just handing out water?

Serve choice and spin explains that. He served long reverse sidespin into the backhand to limit the angle.

That is only part of the truth. Fzd should be good enough to adapt or maybe he's too proud to back off from going bh-to-bh duels. He rarely changes up his game which is a weakness.

Lets say no one in the world has seen Dima playing this well like in this tournament. Don't tell me you knew because that would be a lie. Dima has never showed this composure before. So this is new.

If the shoe fits, wear it. That you could actually disparage that man's forehand is insane.

Sure. So a man who is willing to try new rubber to change his game and whose sole ambition is to get better should not be given the benefit of the doubt just because you don't like him? Go ahead. I could see the obsession and gave him credit for it, no matter the result.

What are you referring to now? I mentioned composure and you talk rubbers?
