You don’t gone tell me that the Germans are a bad combination.
They lost because there R/R-hand combination against the better L/R-hand combination from Jakub/Cédric.
I didn’t expect that! Well done!!!

You must understand that for many years doubles were not so important as now. Most of top players avoid playing doubles because they wanted to focus on singles and avoid injuries.
Nowadays National associations wany to test different pairings because they are not sure who is going for olympics and who will play two singles.
But most of top players who never played doubles need more time to adapt and find a good tactics with their partner.

It's not the first German Open if I remember correctly when the live TV is almost unwatchable. Last year the angle was bad and the tables were reflecting very seriously, and now we have 20 or less fps on the TV table. And it's perfectly fine on tables 2 and 3 :(

At least now on table 1 which is moderated they improved the angle a little bit.

I still don't know why they just don't always use this angle, the most important thing for ITTF, the banner, is still in the picture.

Just when I think I'd get the D09C, FZD brings me back to reality.

An edge to end the match? I don't accept it.

Dude, Timo is ****ing 38 :) And he almost had FZD who is 23. I think u should get that new Dignics rubber.

It's joke that nothing beats H3.

That is one of the great what-ifs in table tennis existence and sits up there with "what if Xu Xin had a great backhand" and "what if Jun Mizutani had a non-chicken wing forehand as his base"....

CCY is sharper than ever. He definitely stuck to his daily routine during the past 4 months.

CCY 0:5, 4:6 6:6, 6:7, 7:7, 8:7, 8:8, 8:9, 9:9, 9:10, 10:10, 10:12.

When was the last time Mizutani reached the QF?
