The youtube highlights will be out shortly. But yes it is a shame you could not connect. I think the ITTF hit a high traffic due to Asia etc.

No problem, i will wait that youtube highlights or even full match videos to watch later, and hope one day i can get back a high speed connection then i can watch online live again without problems or little.

Good win for Pitchford over Kreanga, what was all the fuss about the Kreanga service? not much on the highlights video I watched?

Early in the 2nd game, he was warned for hiding the ball with his body during his shovel/hook serve. He was quite annoyed and lost focus in the 2nd and 3rd games. From the middle of the 3rd he started fighting back.

Hey does anyone think Mu Zi can win it all? She came out strong in he first games and beat Ding Ning and Li Xiaoxia[h=1]at the China Trials.[/h]

Crazy to think all these players went out in the round of 128! Gerell, Skatchkov, Chuang Chih-Yuan, Matenett, Tokic and Kenta Matsudaira!

Drinkhall was not taking any prisoners there!

One thing that has flown under the radar is the not so good day of Chinese Taipei yesterday. Chuang Chih-Yuan not only lost in Singles, but also in doubles, where he and Chen Chien-An were the defending world champs and #4 seeds. And their compatriots, #1 seeded Chiang Hung-Chieh and Huang Sheng-Sheng also lost!

First 11-0 in any main draw at the 2015 WTTC just happened in Mixed Doubles, Pawel Fertikowski/Katarzyna Grzybowska of Poland against Lubomir Pistej/Barbora Balazova of Slovakia in Game 3

Guys, What do you think about Yuto Muramatsu's chances? He might be the dark horse here.. He defeated the experienced Thiago Monteiro and is playing Chen Weixing today.

#1, 4, 5 are going through, who will stop most asian players on that top 10?

ITTF have just made a tweet due to their sites lag/delay



That's a lot of users!

What a surprise. Really ITTF had no chance to anticipate it. World championships in country were this sport is most popular - well seems nobody should be interested.
