Hello from catalunya!!

 

[Dan]

Hey Dan is there a possibility how i can find you there tomorrow? It would be nice if I could say hello

Definitely! I sit in the location where the press area is. Come over when you have a chance

Nice first round it seems!
Tiago Apolonia vs. Pär Gerell On play station 50:50, lol that was funny!
Steger also very interresting match in the first round against Simon Gauzy!
Lee Sangsu vs. Vladi, Vladi said very difficult..
Ohh my, just cant wait for the first round!

Agreed so many great matches today! I think Par and Apolonia will be a great showdown!

a lot of occasions of new selfies for Dan, isn't it ?

Haha I have not got into the habits of selfies. Will see what I can do though

Fan Zhendong's BH absolutely obliterated Gao Ning.

Completely agree Jonathan. The new generation of players with the backhand flick is to strong for the older generation. The number of times Gao made an error from Fan's flick was crazy.

 

[Vladik_tsoy]

Fan Zhendong????

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

GAO Ning returns on FZD short backspin serve were all net misses as well...

Seriously GAO Ning should think about retirement after such a performance. He didn't look like he even wanted to fight a bit

 

[fanTT]

Dan does coaches use new rule for giving advices between points? Cant here on stream do the say anything.

+1 Gao needs to retire

 

[anchorschmidt]

Bit harsh, Gao Ning beat Aruna in the group stages. When you meet someone who can put that much pressure on you, your game can just shut down.

Match of the day Gauzy vs Steger

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Match of the day Gauzy vs Steger

i like Gauzy's point at 10-10 in the 6th...

 

[ronz91]

I feel for Steger there but he didn't do well in the crucial points. 2 match points thrown away. But well done to Gauzy nonetheless.

 

[ronz91]

Dima short have thrown in the drop shot at 4-2 in the first

 

[Dan]

Dimitrij now live against Karlsson. Come and join us in the chat stream on the live streaming page http://www.tabletennisdaily.co.uk/livestreaming/

 

[ronz91]

Anyone else think Dima's strokes are too long for his quickness? He struggles to recover his position too often.

Here is a training hall video of Dima from today:

Karlsson is doing well here. Match score 1 set each

 

[fanTT]

arena won't be packed up anymore hashtag no germans left

 

[Jirrex]

Does anyone know why Timo Boll didn't participate?

 

[ronz91]

Just went to take a phone call and Dima is out. Such an un-German performance. No consistency

 

[The Omega Man]

Timo Boll is in China in reunions/meetings with one of his business partners/sponsors. Also why is Freitas not playing? and why not having Ma Long there is sad, the one I miss the most is Mizutani.
