Only one top ten player LJK gets in the semifinal. What is going on with this WTTC tournament? Possibly due to the rating system lol....

How many sports do you get asked to shake hands with the guy who just beat you after a difficult loss? It is a difficult thing and the TT players do just as well as everyone else IMO.

American football - Guys will seek out some guys and give cordial handshakes or say "good game" then head off. They're not expected to though.
NBA - Same.
Asked to do it and basically expected? Outside of TT, i can't really think of any off the top of my head.

I don't have a problem with guys being disappointed. Think of your own most personal, disappointing loss and ask yourself if your handshake felt genuine or if you did it with a big ole smile on your face.
Of course not. You did it and went about your business. And that's how we react as amateurs. Imagine if it was your livelihood and basically everything you're about.

You shake hands in every individual sport mate. TT, tennis, snooker, martial arts, chess, you name it.
Most players will shake hands in team sports too.

Fair enough. But his point was that he felt they did it half heatedly and I think it's a little ridiculous to expect a lot more of them outside of just doing it which they do.

Wow what an incredible finish. Even in the middle of those rallies I didn't know who had the advantage. Just couldn't be tighter. Jang Woojin losing after having a match point he will be devastated. Will never have a better chance of a final.

I have never played a sport where it isn't expected. Including basketball. But maybe it's different in Europe. Certainly every single individual sport it's expected. Can you name one that isn't?

Not in any special way. The hand shakes are usually just as routine as the ones in TT sometimes worse.

Guys, what is this you're discussing? Is anyone watching the match? I'm starting to believe the Wang Hao theory. I think in the final An Jaehyun will remove his mask and reveal that he was Wang Hao all this time, returning to test Ma Long in one last WTTC.

An Jaehyun is the best world #157 of all time.

AJH is amazing. It is interesting that he improved so much under the radar. I always thought he underachieved as a junior but he disappeared completely from my eye. Doing this now is interesting and amazing.
