Its the match that matters, not the polite interview statements.
Harimoto is maturing very fast, both physically and mentally and thats good.
I was afraid about these very sensitive years of growth, as I've seen a lot of children at that age disturbed or burned by improper treatment. But he is doing well and with confidence.

His stance is definitely less BH-oriented now. I did a comparison a few years ago on hkttf.com but that thread got archived. His entire body was within the sideline.

Yep, it will, just too bad they didnt switch the first two matches.
Because that way the less interresting match would go past first, and I could see the second one without any lack of sleep, considering its going to be 5:40 AM of my time for WCT-HT match..
But anyways - I am not even mad at Ma Long vs. FZD meeting so early, when that means we are going to have Timo Boll vs. XU XIN yeah!
Two magicians, what a match that will be!
Too bad I am not sure I will even be able to see it, because "wise" ittf is making regional restrictions in my country and I dont know where in TV could I watch those..

It is rare to find someone who is as keen as me to see the match up of Timo and Xx!
I hope they don't start restricting the tv rights until semi's, I am so used to not being able to live the last few matches of every tournament. Oh well, there are highlights afterwards at least, and it makes refreshing the live score page more exciting

I am not sure why people are excited for Timo vs XX. Maybe 2 years ago and I am not sure whether I would be excited even then. Hopefully, Timo will not be a duck and I can get excited a little but I have my.doubts.

Agreed. At first glance it seems logical to put the best matches at the end, but Chinese viewers won't have any troubles watching any of them and for EU it's a bit of a problem... so they could have give an extra thought when planning the schedule!

Have you tried laola1.tv? They retransmit the ITTV broadcast with just as good quality, and for me it is often more stable if ITTV is crashing. I don't think it is country restricted. Otherwise, good old VPN (just Google it if you have never used one) will do the trick.
But I agree, watching TT should be counted as one of the fundamental human rights.
In the 11 points Timo scored in game 7, I think he gave the raised finger apology for 6 of them for a net or an edge. Pretty impressive. 3 out of 5 points to start game 7 on a 10 point run from the end of game 6.

I'm watching table 1 live now and Cheng I Ching was faulted on one of her serves in the second game. I can't see what she did wrong and the announcer also doesn't have an explanation. Anybody watching the match who is more observant than I who could provide an explanation?

Zhu Yuling was then faulted in a serve in the next game; again without any explanation. Are the umpires required to give hand signals that indicate what the fault was for? If so, the ITTF cameraman should have picked it up and the announcer should have explained it. Two more faults as I compose this. I don't get it at all. If the players are being penalized for non-near vertical tosses, the infractions are marginal and the men get away with much worse when they serve.

They have to give a hand signal starting from July, 2016.

The problem for viewers is they're out of view.

Got it -and I'm assuming that some process (their coaches?) relayed the information to the players so they knew what they were faulted for. The problem is that the broadcast was very irresponsible and unprofessional in not getting this information to the viewers. The announcer didn't even guess at the cause of any of the faults. Couldn't she have communicated (radioed?) with somebody to get the information and then relayed it to the viewers?
