Maybe she's buggling her opponents with the new Bugller pips
Which is more likely to you, An JaeHyun improved enough in the last few months to play Felix better or the knowledge gained from practicing with Felix enabled the Koreans to figure out what makes his game tick and how to play him better, leading to closer matches with both Oh and An?It all boils down to perspective. What you said can easily be valid from the french pov also, are the koreans better at studying players than the french? How so? Since the ruy/joo and oh sang eun era, korea men's team hasnt break through yet. They didnt produce a lebrun or a harimoto, so I really dont see how exactly it was a "mistake"
Exchanging knowledge and being suspicious of your opponent are both different POV's if you ask me
The swedes, persson waldner etc, put cameras in the chinese camp just to irritate them. The camera's didnt record anything.
So a laid back chinese player could say " im better than them, let them record me all they want"
and a suspicious one would say " those f***ers, I wont play my best in practice so they dont evaluate me"
Can you try and guess which one of the two chinese falls straight into the mind trap???
I analysed too much, all am saying is, the practice you mentioned was not a crucial or deciding factor.
If indeed there is a case like that then the french coaches and lebrun brothers are not smart enough to assess such a situation...but you are smart enough?
Look, see what Harimoto's mom told Harimoto over Mizutani's criticism after Paris 2024. You have another person to convince here.
Absolutely the second one.
imo it is all of them together, to work and some times a bit of luck too.
I noticed most of the S.Korean men players now have a really solid and strong forehand. For example AJH, Jang Woojin, and some other younger players which I don't remember their name. Only a few players out there could outplay them when it comes to a forehand-forehand counter rally.
Ahem...
