1. The ball can easily roll through the surrounds:

2. The skylight will affect the sight of the athlete.

The table top material was essentially improved in response to players criticism. Glossiness moderated to matte level. Better late than never.

 

[Gozo Zyreruna]

Lots of training in Germany before heading to Paris...

Aruna's BH is looking good!

Will there be a stream for the draw?

Harimoto vs Fan zhendong as a potential quarter final could be spicy

Harimoto got effed. Lebrun and Calderano have draws worthy of their seedings, though LYJ and JWJ and dangerous, but Calderano and Lebrun have good records against them and should be fine unless something changes - the other rounds will be of interest as well.

Korean men got effed. You have to pay me to believe that France didn't rig the draw lol to get a somewhat comfortable bronze... Japan and Chinese Taipei got great draws, one of them will be lucky and the other will be effed and complain, but they are currently close to 50-50 vs each other.
