World Table Tennis Championships 2019

Gauzy is going to fruit his way to the final!

 

[Atas Newton]

Timo's sickness is such a cruel twist of fate indeed. Everything lined up so that he could be in the final and then who knows how it could go and then this happens.

 

[yoass]

Wow. Halfway the second game without a single point to Wang Yang... fearsome.

After these other commentators, Adam Bobrow is like a breath of fresh air. Yes, he's overly colloquial and sometimes gets trapped in his own puns, but he's very knowledgeable, has a good eye for what's happening and very often elaborates with good insight. He's a gem, and the contrast with the others I've heard so far at this tournament is rather stark.

He has got a mouth on him for sure, but he absolutely LOVES table tennis. That alone will get you a long way in this line of work.

Gauzy vs Wang 11/0!

(Wondering when the "what equipment does Gauzy use" talk will start...)

 

[Atas Newton]

Some say he's using the Dignics-H3N hybrid. And if he wins the title he will unveil that his rubbers were green all along, under a thin film of red.

Andro Rasant Beat...

Gauzy is going to fruit his way to the final!

Anyone know what equipment Gauzy is using? He is putting too much spin on the ball!

Pitchford needs to take a page from Gauzy here. You out defend the defender!!

 

[yoass]

Surprising to see a defender struggle that much with the level of spin put on the ball by an offender. Gauzy is running a show of massive strength here.

Green sponges. Supposed to be Rasanter R50 or R47.

It can be hard to keep focus after playing a few wipeout games. Gauzy seems to be able to. I don't recall seeing much kills of this quality since the days of Kong Linghui.

He's massively motivated right now. He must see the draw opening up in front of him as a huge opportunity.

Holy shit

 

[zeio]

Gauzy knows how to play choppers.

 

[yoass]

Ok, there it is; Gauzy's block of that around-the-net near-roller will probably be the best point of the year.

 

[yoass]

And a fadeout FH on a disturbingly dirty wiggle, as if it's nothing. This is another level entirely.

 

[RidTheKid]

So why compare a team/club sport with an individual sport?

No emotion, I know what I want, there's a difference. Quantity doesn't equal quality.

For you.

In reality its driving ratings and players yearn for it as much as ever, same for coaches.

You're talking out of emotion right now.

Who cares if its for clubs not nations?

Football is predominantly a club sport, thats the point..

 

[AndySmith]

It's a massacre.
