Why super ZLC dima plays ALC

He is now using a custom shakehand super zlc

Whoever is setting the white balance in these streams should be fired.

Both the tabletop and the taraflex look like a turd for some reason.

The adjustment is so painfully simple:

It needs to be yellow, 'cause it's in Middle East.

Hitomi Sato!

LETS GOOOO ZQH

Now let’s see if WRB can do the impossible

 

[KostovTT]

It looks like Dima was tired

Not having the attitude of the winner

He did not believe it if he could just try out to believe them the win was 100%


He has new blade as I can see which has so much control and not that fast

Could be just a Wood only?

 

[Jafar]

The new Team Japan outfits look very comfy 😊

WS SF
Odo (6) 2-3 ZYL (2) (-6, 5, 10, -4, -10)
Odo with all those nets and edges only got her 1 match point...

Odo was visibly nervous, ZYL stayed cool and it won her the decider.

I thought Wang Hao was back in China taking a break for Star Contender Doha as I didn’t see him coach LSD for this event.

I dont think Dima has ever beaten Zhou Qihao. Dima fights hard but he knows when his opponent is playing higher level TT. ZQH wasn't far from it.

 

[Janard]

Rooting for Sato!

MS SF
Wen Ruibo 3-2 Calderano (9, -8, 9, -9, 9)
WRB: Xiom Calderano > Joola Calderano?

 

[Jafar]

So even with WCQ injured and LSD out of the picture, we get an all-Chinese MS Final. ZQH and the young blood stepping up for the challenge.

Both players were nervous. Odo's ball quality and placement definitely troubled Zhu. Zhu will not be in a rush for a rematch.

Might be the first major positive development for the men's CNT in a while. But who sat out (Lebruns, LYJ,, Truls, Sora, Dang, Jorgic) is not just trivia either.

Classic Dima, he played a lot better against LSD. When he is afraid he never flips, he could probably be better if he had more confidence.
