Waiting for the Tieba comments abouts how Doo's physical condition affected the results....

 

[TampaBayTableTennis]

currently searching "best antispin rubber for noobs"

Not actually as DHK didn't expect to run this deep here and it showed that anti is helpless with a little brainstorming, just like JCH against Hashimoto.

So am I right that your assessment of Winter's level remains unchanged?

i wont let the loss dissuade me, i was very impressed with DHK overall. will watch more of her matches. amazing shots.

Winter has been upgraded from scary to terrifying.

No one expects to run deep at a Champions event, doing so is evidence of strong form.

Still the same thing. Step around and cover the wide FH like that at 36 years old under the immense pressure of the Olympics sounds like a plan.

Ahem, WCT/DHK spoke on TV before heading for WTT SCT London 2025 their immediate goal was to secure XD for WTT F 2025 without the wildcard.

Until recently (aka, before Felix and Alexis), table tennis was not attracting that much attention in France. So, they didn't need to learn.
On my side, I enjoy this medias candor. In opposition to, for exemple, soccer.

Come on... I'm sure you remember all the sh*t Christian Palierne took in his face when the FFTT decided to oust Stéphane Ouaiche from the Rio's Olympics although he was the reigning french nationals champ ?

It's exactly the same. Wrong points used to stand on your ground. You talk about football (please you're wearing that french flag, use the right word ok ?), but in France you know it's barely nothing compared to the english Premier League, with the tabloïds. The only clubs that are a bit toxic are OM, OL, and maybe PSG before QSI bought it. That's all. Compare all that with England, where no pro players in any club are safe !

I'm sure you're talking here about Pavard right ? the guy that keeps on saying "sorry everyone I've made a poor game, sorry sorry sorry (As could have said Xu Xin...)". What Dugarry and Rothen said was right ! don't make excuse, say nothing, use this as a motor to give 200% at the training sessions and on the pitch. Di Meco defended Pavard because "you're all idiots, those young guys are living in the social medias era" , ok, tell that to Wembanyama then: the yound lad never uses social medias, he goes to bed at 9 PM, and if he has to use them for his family, he uninstalls the app, and bring it only when he needs it, he does NOT feel the need to express himself aside from the obligatory press conference rooms. THIS is how you have to behave with social medias as a pro athlete.

Doesn't speak to anything I wrote.

MS QF
Gauzy 1-4 Matsushima (-11, 4, -9, -4, -7)
Like LSD at Europe Smash 2025, Matsushima fended off the onslaught and his bai lan in G2 might have actually helped G3 and subsequent games.
