Quadri doesn’t enjoy playing incorrect rubbers and incorrect players - they don't topspin lol....

lost to pimple because don't know spin.
lost to pimple because didn't train enough against pimple.
so says those pimple apologist.

Aruna is a pro player, surely he knows spin. Surely he puts more TT hours than all of us combined here. And yet....

NB: It shall be Gozo's life mission to crush those pipsters; seen them driven before him and hear the lamentation of their women / men. Roarrrrrrrrr!

I can resonate with this in my own, mini amateur level way. What I see (and hear) is Aruna struggling in large part because there's no spin and speed to borrow from the opponent. He has to produce everything himself, finds himself needing to be a lot closer to the table than he's normally comfortable with and sends plenty of balls long (if he's close enough) or into the net (if he doesn't/can't step in when it's necessary).

Now we need a follow up video on how to actually play against this and win

In the scoreboard they have Aruna's name in Japanese: "Aruna senshu".
アルナ = Aruna
選手 = 'senshu', an honorific title for professional athletes, instead of 'san'. (I can read katakana but not kanji. I just googled this).

Just to be clear, my original post was meant in jest. It seemed obvious he held off using full power on his FH loops, and didn't want to rely on serves that gave his opponent troubles. Basically, he was a great sport.
