I'm kinda sorta hoping for a Shiba-Gauzy rematch, and am wondering if they'll shake hands.

 

[ajtatosmano2]

Poor Koki. I would be happy if he would be #4. Mizutani vs Ma Long would be more interesting, just like a Niwa vs Gauzy.

Fix your audio ittf!

 

[bobpuls]

wow what a side spin in 0:28and 2:11
Even Dima was out of control here....

 

[ajtatosmano2]

Timo vs Lin Gaoyuan is the next match!
Niwa was uncomfortable for ML, but the Dragon can't be stopped.
Anyone has the icons of every player? Timo's is the classic icon from the Timo Boll blades.

 

[Garrison]

At this point I think Boll just loves to point at the edge of the table. Maybe it is his fetish

 

[ajtatosmano2]

Timo is mad! Nearly shouts with Rosskopf, wants to kick the ball! :O

 

[Garrison]

LGY forced into defense by Boll playing away from the table? What year is this???

Boll is really unhappy with the ball I think.

[Garrison]

So unlucky! ARGH

Timo is playing very, very well. Unlucky at moments though

LGY forced into defense by Boll playing away from the table? What year is this???

That rally looked like they decided to practice a bit in the middle of a game.

 

[Garrison]

What a match! *_*

 

[Garrison]

I can't deal with this. This is too intense for me... Luck is even now. Boll has the experience while LGY may be reminded of the match vs XX

 

[Ilia Minkin]

Timooooo!!11111111111 This man has no fear. Serving a reverse long to Lin's BH at deuce, losing. Then killing the serve with BH and outlooping Lin far from the table... Oh my.

 

[drunix80]

Timo crawls back from 1-3 down to level 3-3. Timo can get past LGY. Incredible play by TB

Final set Boll vs LGY

 

[Suga D]
