World Table Tennis Championships 2013

ZJK said that he don't want to pressure him self to defend the title and his goal is just wining over foreigners. so Ma Long's greatest opponent is Xu Xin .ML have 80% chance to defeat XX so i think he will become World Champion .

To be honest, I didn't quite agree with you that Xu Xin and Ma Lin had no backhand, penholder without RPB ≠ No backhand. Like Ma Lin his backhand push (block) is amazing, sometimes he could change the spin of the ball after his backhand block ( opponent's topspin drive could become backspin) that will cause a lot of UE to opponent. Just one example

at this level, push isn't that useful in my opinion even if it allows some variation

Maybe Zhang is even more dangerous when he is not under pressure

Or Liu will tell him that he was a one-trick pony, and Zhang will be eager to prove him wrong. It would be good for Ma Long to get this title though. He needs to work on his Grand Slam before Xu Xin surpasses him xD

Not so sure that Xu Xin will surpass him one day... He really lacks a backhand and he isn't powerful enough on the forehand. I think that Ma will remain a better player in the future.

I expect you to deliver the same great footage Dan just did from WSA

.

Since you're closer to the event, do you know if they're using the new tables covered here

?

I hope not, every spectator counts

. I'm really looking forward to it too, especially what kind of nice videos you'll make out of it.

# End of this post - else I'm probably running out of smileys.

I am not sure if I will make a video about WTTC. Not so motivated to make videos at the moment.

Maybe motivation will come back soon.

My guess would be, if Ma Long wins it, you may become motivated.
