Didn't expect Sareen to beat Yoshiyama. Still a lot of potential to keep improving it seems.
He is only 18. He will eventually surpass Lum as the Aussie no 1. In my opinion he will improve much faster if he plays in Europe instead of major league table tennis in the US.

Just watched the YouTube highlight between faraji and pistej. At 4:13 Pistej says
" every serve hidden, every serve"
The umpire finally faulted Faraji"s serve at 6:02.
Is hidden serve an iranian thing ? They all serve dirty and illegally

Pistej v Faraji
I don't know about the rest of the Iranian team, but both Noshad and Faraji have a tendency to hide their serves. Faraji is quite similar to LSD in that sense, as they both hide their hook serves.

Agreed, lsd and faraji both hide their hook serves. Also add Edward Ly to the list.
Of course, that’s always the player’s fault, but also that of the referees who fail to take responsibility. You can see with the naked eye that Edward Ly’s throw is at an angle of more than 30°, and is being thrown towards his body or head. Well…🤷‍♂️
