Goda must've been secretly taking serve classes too. Got like 3 or 4 aces in that first game alone!

Duda, Where's My Car?

Chinese men's team's fate in this tournament is hanging on the shoulder of young LSD. He lost the first one but hung tough to even it.

Unlike other non-top tier Chinese players, LSD has a track record of mentally tough and often comes back.

We’re seeing another meltdown from LYJ against LSD

 

[zeio]

LYJ's result here will have a huge impact on his WR next month. Dropping out of the top 10 is inevitable. The question is how big his drop will be.

His spot for WTT F Fukuoka 2024 is in jeopardy now.

Title drought ever since winning WTT CS Frankfurt 2023, LYJ is going through the same period that Harimoto went through after winning WTT CS ESS 2022.

 

[rpb23]

On third game of Lin against Lin, the score was 11:1, a completely shut-down. At the high level both players are playing, this type of score is not supposed to happen. The other Lin needs to step up and show some mental toughness.

 

[Robin0910]

Cool, the umpires have been calling out players’ serves for all kind of reasons but they have not call out LSD even once yet

 

[Robin0910]

Give Lin Shidong the bearded umpire. Wanna see him do the shovel serve then

 

[rpb23]

Well, LSD is on the verge of closing out the match. I'd like to see him playing against red hot Alexis. Sorry little Felix, you can wait and let your big brother have a crack at the Chinese future prospect first.

Thanks for this - Craig should pay you and patent this meme lol.

Seems like they should have just let Duda play instead

He was probably still recovering from injury then. It seems that Kanak's days as Schwalbe Team #1 should be over now.

CNT about to be dissolved.

CNT needs to start importing players from Europe, Japan and Korea

they tried to buy Taiwanese players, but they where given the no

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

for the CNT, Sh'dong is the last one standing

 

[Tony's Table Tennis]

was hoping for LYJ to do the kill and remove all CNT in the men's section.
Hope one of the Lebruns can finish the job

I have word that umpires actually use video to determine who is doing the head/shoulder hide and thus warning them.

so I am glad they are using technology to punish the culprits

Look at how LSD served. Another WCQ on the making?

 

[kindof99]

Another picture, no way that LYJ could see the ball before and at the contact. What a shame

Yup, I agree this is quite ridiculous according to current serving rules... I thought refs were trying to catch the most offensive serve infractions this tournament, but it looks like the reviewing period is over after just two days?
I'm actually disappointed that the trend displayed in the first matches wasn't upheld here, LSD is such a good player it's a pity to see him rely on hidden serves on clutch points (and not so clutch, like this) when he really shouldn't need to!
