Thank you for all the fantastic comments guys, really glad you enjoyed this interview!
Haha that's a real nice story Dave! That must of seemed surreal, and I agree Ryu seems such a funny cheerful guy. I would love to meet him one day! Fantastic enthusiasm, and definitely athleticism!
No worries at all, and very true. Only the Chinese elite can get these rubbers it seems.
Wow that's great to hear T. Joo sure is a nice guy, he certainly loves us all (his fans).
Haha love it! I can only try
No worries at all, Joo sure is very nice. I asked a lot of questions there, must of taken him a while.
Nice interview Dan, I umpired Joo, Ryu and Oh Sang Eun at the World Team Championships last year against Chinese Tapei (Chih Yuan Chuan's team). The match went right to the wire and was spectacular throughout, it went on for a long time, we all got off the court at 1110pm and all of us rushed to the dining hall (which closed at 1130pm) to get some dinner, they kindly invited me and the other umpire to sit with them as we were the only ones in the dining hall. Joo is right when he said Ryu is a funny guy because I asked him who's fault it was that the match went on so long and he jokingly pointed at Joo and they all laughed. All amazing players to watch and umpire plus really nice guys off the table. I used to play same style as Joo (I was influenced by watching him play and liked his style) when I last played in the Hyndburn league as I was a lot fitter and thinner then. The good old days ha ha. I was at the WTTC in Paris 2003 as a spectator and watched some of Joo's matches including the final. He certainly came out of nowhere because at the time he was ranked 50 or 52 in the world - He soon moved up many places after that event. Let's hope there is another player who can follow in his footsteps regarding style

Hi Dan.
This is really good stuff mate. It's funny how by reading tru the interview it gives you this feeling of being close to Joo like he's just sitting in front of you, cool stuff.
A quick note: After something like this - something of such high standard - I wan to believe that can only get better so I say: - Maybe Zhang Jike or Ma Long next
time!?lol
Keep up with the great work.
