[TableTennisDaily]

If you were the umpire who would you have awarded this point to?

Omar or Dang Qiu?

I would give the point to Dang Qui, since Assar ran very close to the ball and made it impossible for Dang to take a swing at the ball.

Point for Dang Qiu and i don’t think it’s disputable. The ball touched Omar’s body before it hit the ground, so obvious point for Dang. Omar claimed he didn’t touch but from the ball trajectory i think he did, it was slight though.

If the ball didn’t touch Omar’s body (in an imaginary situation), it’d be harder for the umpire but i think it’d still be a point for Dang because Omar obstruct Dang from returning the ball.

P.s. watched it a few times again and i think omar didn’t touch the ball. Anyways, it should still be a point for Dang

What about the option of a let?

No such rule

Dang Qui. Valiant effort by Omar Assar, but in the end he lost the point by obstruction.
