Great post, man!!! Thanks a lot!! Do you have similar data for: Waldner vs Boll, Wang Hao, Persson? Also in another thread I gave request for other pairings (without Waldner).
Hey Hey, I played before Waldner became great and for sure we didn't use orange ball and had no bicycle rubber. 😁and 5 serves each and played to 21 with green tables and old black bicycle rubber glue and orange balls of course, well we could just have a scrap on
Cheers
