WTT Champions Xinxiang 2023

[Choosikick]

The match between Filus and Lin was without surprises. Filus really looked tired, unlike the fresh, young, strong Lin

I watched of course FZD v LSD. What an incredible high level match.

On women's side HAYATA was only 1 point away from victory but that's so far !!! CHEN Meng saved an incredible match point. and also was down 8-10 in G2 after having lost G1. hats off to the Olympic Champion.

ITO put on a good fight against SYS but she won G1 but was never in a real position to win. She played well but its not enough against the top Chinese.

Am I the only one who is confused that Ruwen is still not banned for his racket-throwing incident?

No, I find it strange too. Apparently, decades ago, the WTT set rules that no longer apply to everyday table tennis.
After throwing the racket (almost hitting a photographer) and serving over/above the table, those are two things that are clearly tolerated now.
Ruwen just shouldn't have been there and especially Lim JH (and many others) should have had many points deducted long ago.

WTT did not exist "decades ago" ...

Iemand beweerde dat er andere spelers zijn geweest die rackets hebben gegooid zonder schorsingen. Hij heeft ook niemand verwond. Het grootste probleem is waarschijnlijk dat de scheids hem geen rode of gele kaarten gaf toen het echt gebeurde.

Nee niet waar
Geel + Rood

Okay no problem, ITTF then

 

[NextLevel]

no not true
Yellow + Red

You mean there were card given to him at the time of the incident?

 

[zeio]

Nope. I am still wondering too.

To me, it was a serious misconduct. In a rule-based strict country like Germany, I am even more surprised that Filus is allowed to play.

Germany's delegation:

And that's one reason I'm worried about ESN.

Bedoel je dat er een kaart aan hem werd gegeven ten tijde van het incident?

Indeed!
Have you watched the video?

I watched of course FZD v LSD. What an incredible high level match.

Rhetorical question: What chemical element you'd associate FZD with?

 

[Gtsnake]

FZD vs LSD - I almost can't breathe. Must watch!!!

Is it me or does that match look like Dr Evil playing mini me?

 

[NextLevel]

Inderdaad!
Heb je de video bekeken?

Why are you translating all my posts into a language that looks like Dutch?

I watched the match live. You can share the video since you say you have it.

Does anyone else notice that Wang Chuqin genuinely likes and respects Liang Jingkun? I wonder what the story behind that is? They usually give each other bro hugs after their matches...

Both LSD and Hayata were so close to derailing a world champion.
Both lack a strong FH and their placement became predictable later in the match.

They will grow in experience over time. Great matches. Was really hoping Hayata could win

Chen Meng I guess has been an Olympic Champion, Junior World Champion and a Teams World Champion and maybe a doubles World Champion? Definitely not a singles World Champion. Too many championships to remember...

I am always perturbed when people say players like LSD and Hayata don't have strong forehands.

Your posts to me are in Greek I think.

I already shared the video in the link above, klik on yellow + red...

Got it. Prior offenders have not been suspended for similar things.
