T2 Asia Pacific Table Tennis League 2017!

[v100ev]

Joo played so well..

 

[ajtatosmano2]

Harimoto's loss was expected, both against Dima and Joo. We might wanted to see him go to the top, but realistically, this is his level. Ovtcharov just able to keep up with his speed and has more experience, while we knew that Tomo is weak against defenders. The 5:0 wasn't expected, but loss: yes.
Mizutani wasn't playing too well, but Timo did a good job and CCY was simply amazing! He moved like a 20 yo! He destroyed Mizutani and was an equal opponent to Liu Dingshuo 'Mr. Autocannon'.
Finally, I am proud of Liu, who is my playing style model. I hope for another all-out attacking battle against Mizutani.

Anyone knows if the chinese youngsters' circle (Shang Kun--> Wang Chuqin-->Xue Fei-->Liu Dingshuo) will start over again?

Great results. Samsonov not in his finest performance...

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

this league is great for players like Bernie Szocs Samara or Pota who can play more Asian (and Chinese) players. No wonder that Romania won the Euro Championships

You're absolutely right, so I've corrected it in the earlier post.

Thank you for your help. I'm trying to post a lot of various results at the moment, so no doubt there will be more errors as well ;-)

I wanted to see LDS rocking, but he had problems with his ankle and tried to play a controlled game (like CCA).

Dimitrij Ovtcharov vs Joo Se Huyk

JSH still got it, but he feels a bit old now unfortunately. A younger JSH would have had no problem dealing with Ovtcharov

Timo Boll vs Tomokazu Harimoto

T2APAC makes me wonder if this system would actually be quite good for professional leagues. You would need to have consistent time rulings though. Or you always play 5 sets and it could go 3:2 or 5:0, allowing for epic comebacks AND making it more of a team effort. You can't just have a Timo Boll securing 2 points and win you most games by default
