World Table Tennis Championships 2019

[jawien]

The service accounts for much, but does not fully dictate the entire flow of the consecutive exchanges.

Samsonov himself can change his style (make strategical and tactical adjustments) on the fly, as needed vis a vis an opponent, and can still use his serves for the full range of styles — well away from that crucial borderline mentioned before.

I suggest to leave the argument for a moment and come back in another thread after Budapest possibly ...

The female commentator that starts commentating today's matches always ends each sentence going into this weird higher pitch. (At least the minutes I got so far pre-match)

Holy sheet, that's so annoying.

Does table tennis really have only one good commentator with Adam Bobrow? Ugh.

Careful Nemo, Dan does some commentary for ITTF on occasion, let's hope your account doesn't mysteriously get deleted

LYJ/CIC 1-4 Solja/Franziska

 

[dchow1992]

ishikawa serves a fault at 9-8 and it isn't called by the umpires. Luckily Hungary wins the point anyway

 

[driversbeat]

I came for TT discussion and found (yet another) argument about service legality. Lol.

In other news, Mima v. Sun Yingsha coming in 1 hour! Honestly I hope Mima wins, otherwise the Japanese threat to China will come to a very premature and anticlimatic end (unless the rest can somehow step up)

Chen meng in trouble ... what happend to the live stream of this game?? It stopped ??

 

[phorkyas]

I read somewhere a few months ago that the Chinese have scouting profiles on all players they may encounter, including things like serving and receive tendencies, pattens of play, strengths, weaknesses, etc. The first game, especially in a best of 7, is to determine if these tendencies are still accurate and try out variations that may work. Winning the first game is not a goal, but diagnosing what will work for later games is key. They also have predetermined strategies for 9 all, as this happens so frequently in world class play, having a specific strategy planned out beforehand is a key part of pregame strategy.

I am a little surprised they don't do what they do in the NFL in the US, with coaches up in the stands analyzing game patterns and radioing down to the courtside coach what they see to help strategize. Maybe they do.

Ma Long pointed to that in the aftermatch interview as well. Probably gives you more confidence, tranquility and a clearer mind, if you feel that well prepared.

Just now CM dropped her first set against Sawettabut. Probably won't mean a thing again...

LGL actually mentioned in his latest interview that CM has yet to pass the test of majors. It shows here at the WTTC.

T1, SYS VS Ito

Very poor start for Ito. Hole too big to fill. 2:6, 4:8, 6:8, 6:11.

4:2, 5:5, 6:6, 7:9, 8:10, 9:11. Ito missing her serves multiple times, hmm. SYS handles Ito's serves well here.

2 to go.

9:8, 9:11. CNT has cracked Ito's serves.

5:3, 5:5, 9:7, 9:9, 10:9, 10:10. Ito missing so much on FH and BH. 11:10, 11:11, 11:12, 12:12, 13:12, 13:13, 14:13, 15:13. Clutched it!

0:4, 1:4, 1:5(epic!!) SYS getting back all the shots. 1:6, 2:6, 2:8, 2:10, 2:11.

1-4

He jumped on the last point 3rd set, lol!!!

 

[Janard]

Of course, his new disciple has already amassed more points in two sets than his old disciple did in four sets.

 

[ping fun]

What a spectacular game !! Will Sun yingsha erase Japan's hope in championship ??
