I know it doesnt seem to fit the trend of this chat, but can we take a moment to appreciate Joo Sae Hyuk?

Let's just say that in his prime, Joo Sae Hyuk was quite the player, even after the switch 40mm and later to plastic 40+. Not just the superb defence but his crazy opportunate attacks with that forehand and his down the line backhand. This forum would be a place to type down his great games. Contribute if you have any.

Notable ones are:

Joo Sae Hyuk vs Ma Long 2014 Asian Games

Joo Sae Hyuk vs Koki Niwa 2015 Korea Open

Joo Sae Hyuk vs Timo Boll 2011 Men's World Cup quarterfinals.

I dont even play much defensive playstyle at all except chopping occasionally with my backhand long pimps (which i remove today to cut on weight to reduce my elbow pain), but his games are such a joy to watch and the stamina, especially the crazy deuce points in his 2014 vs ma long game was amazing.

Amazing player to watch.

Me being a defensive player I appreciate him very much, but i've never understood the lack of counter attacks when the game is close. i remember him only counterattacking when he was way behind the score.
