T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

[mrk]

Nice to hear he is fine.

 

[Garrison]

It's official, Harimoto is a robot. That shit should have hurt like crazy :O

 

[ajtatosmano2]

Wait, im confused...

WHERE'S WANG CHUQIN ??

Chinese players can't attend all rounds, so new chinese players replace those who have to go back to China. Wang Chuqin is replaced by Xue Fei, and Xue Fei will be replaced by Liu Dingshuo.

 

[Sali]

How about chinese superleague this year?

 

[Michal_Z]

I have to ask again:
Why they act like they pick the opponents, when they know who will play who before the live coverage??

Or is it in fact no live coverage??

Paul Drinkhall vs Chen Chien-An

 

[Xylit]

Sometimes they switch sides between two sets and sometimes they don't. What is this?

 

[darucla]

They switch sides after 2 sets, not 1.

Jun Mizutani 水谷隼 vs Tomokazu Harimoto 張本智和 T2APAC Round 3 Day 10

 

[WorkerBee]

Amazing speed and accuracy going on in the Tomo-Jun match with the accident. I think the cause was the crazy deceleration and off-the-edge placement of the Jun push coupled with the insane attack speed and adjustment by Tomo.


That was something like a 2 mm scrape on the corner!

 

[WorkerBee]

T2 league back with next set

 

[WorkerBee]

Congratulations to the haters, Tomo beaten by Dima today.

 

[Garrison]

The time rules are hard to enforce consistently. Would be better to say that a ball is always played to the end and if there is still like 2 seconds left the last point is guaranteed to be played regardless how quick the server is..

[Sali]

Boll was quite lucky with Mizutani. Anyway I haven't seen Mizutani missing so many FH shots from the backhand side - which is his main weapon.
