WTT Finals Men Doha 2023

WCQ’s serves are so hard to read. Are there any players who can constantly read them?

Not many. WCQ's win rates in his service is insanely high.

 

[Choosikick]

I think that WCQ should meet FZD in the final. This will be somewhat reminiscent of the fights between Ma Lin and Wang Liqin.
Also judging by the quick semi-finals, the final should be a real fight.

Just like how Ma Long couldn’t deal with Lin Gaoyuan’s speed now he can’t deal with Fan Zhendong’s speed and power . Unbelievable

Someone in the chat made the right observation. Fan pinned Lin down in the middle and he had so many mishits from switching between forehand and backhand.

 

[Robin0910]

FZD prepared well. Pinned his elbow most of the time and didn’t let him actively play his backhand as many times.

when I was younger, I was training for a former Chinese provincial player, and top 8 player in Africa.
She changed to SP on BH for the "FUN" of it.
BH to BH rally, she comes up and use a BH hard/fast hit, ball misses the table and hits my thigh.
Ball mark (bruise) there for about 4 days.

If the camera is "coach bench height", the speed would be more realistic, but when the camera is lifted and going top down, the speed is discount by a lot

I have given people bruises a few times when I hit their legs accidentally 😅
Apparently I also swing my arm fast enough on my backhand that my doubles partners told me they could feel a current. A pro's swing must be like a gale 😬

By the way, it would be interesting to see in real life the speed of the ball from Ti Long’s hit. The camera does not convey this speed. In the video where Dan measured the speed of Dmitry Ovcharov's shot, the ball seems to fly faster than in the video of Ti Long.

Hook serve is the easiest serve to be covered, WCQ often uses his body to block the view during serving motion.

Can you show some examples of this "blocking the view", I havent noticed it.

Ti Long's hit?

that was a very one sided doubles final, congrats to xiang peng and yuan licen

If Felix's service return and short game is half as good as Ma Lin, he could've got 2 games of WCQ

This is hilarious. What is really happening is that some people are used to the table and the environment more than others and are taking advantage of it.

You mean you don't notice the big head?

Battle of the planets live now...

 

[Choosikick]

Ti Long's hit?

You don’t have to watch the whole video, from the 5th minute of the video of the shot itself

 

[Choosikick]

It looks like Fan is in very bad shape.

I think Wang is in very good shape.

 

[gordonluvsu]

Wang Chuqin 2024 Olympic Champion?

 

[Choosikick]

Well, we can sum it up. Wang was in excellent form at this tournament and won everyone very convincingly. Only Felix could at least oppose him with something. It's a shame that the meeting between these players took place at the very beginning of the tournament...

 

[zeio]

Depends on the draw.

Also given the proximity to WTTC 2024, the men may not play as hard as the women did in Nagoya.

Other than a select few, many of them held back.
