  5. This tournament has shown very clearly that the standard of play has improved considerably across all teams, the gaps are closing, and the margins are extremely small, to the extent that much depends on the form of the day, the tactics employed, experience, and mental strength. Thus, it's not surprising that the top players can beat one another from 1 match to the next. What was amazing was that the only match that Tomokazu lost was to 63rd ranked Ionescu Ovidiu of Romania by 1-3 (8-11, 6-11, 11-7, 5-11). I will rewatch this match. My suspicion is, Tomo didn't know his opponent and couldn't anticipate well, to the extent that he was fairly static and was merely reacting to may of Ovidiu's shots. To me, the big surprises were Romania (2-3 against Japan), and India (3-1 against Germany).

  6. I have rewatched Ovidiu vs Tomokazu. Ovidiu's tactics were simple but executed to perfection: short and soft returns to service therefore giving Tomo no power nor speed to work with (he thrives on speed & power), and fast flicks to Tomo's backhand. The Romanian coach is a genius.

  8. The PRC needs to stay the hell away from Harimoto's backhand which is deadly. Don't give exchanges and sequences or he will eat them for lunch. Move him on the wide wing on the forehand side because he even tries to the hit backhand on the forehand shorts. Harimoto's footwork is also not as good as the PRC. The further you move him away from the table and on his weaker forehand side on the side angle. Then you have the advantage.

  11. WCX performed better than FZD. He has open mind to learn from Ma Long. FZD still has not understood that he is far from Ma Long’s wisdom though he thought he is close to Ma Long. Thus, I don’t think FZD would be the successor of Ma Long. WCX could if he can learn from Ma Long.

  15. No One calls TT match like Adam. Learn so much from him especially on a full match here, bravo! The world class matches are so exhilarating. Don't know what happens until it's over. God knows how much effort and time they've put into this sport. Well wishes to both teams and good luck to them.

  19. Ma Long's match here clearly shows why he's still at the top of this sport. Adam's right: adaptability. Oikawa is very good at fast flick blocks, changing angles (Harimoto as well, new Japanese style?) so if the opponent sticks to loop drives, he'll have the adantage. Seen something here on their rubbers (sponge) that can absorb/dampen a lot of incoming force & spin so they can still block and return, against the law of physics. From the 2nd game on, Ma Long changed the speed, not playing to Oikawa's game and made it look so easy. Well deserved to be the dictating dragon, congrats!

  22. @ 3:20:00 Even Ma Long spoke out to inspire WCQ, very rare alongside the coach. The Japanese've developed a punch/flick block technique that's giving the Chinese (& others) a lot of trouble. Their opponent uses a lot of energy to loop drive but they are trained to block it back very quickly with wide angles and set up a forehand kill at the end. Guess the Chinese will vary their style to adapt and avoid confrontations like in future. Long and short pushes then wait for chance to loop drive is the key. Ma Long is quick to adapt. Harimoto has improved a lot. FZD played to his game and lost. Guess Fan will dissect/study to revenge next time. Wonderful match, expecailly full length with Adam. Much appreciated.

  23. Truly insane. This may very probably be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, table tennis team matchups I have even watched. Huge congratulations to Team China for the hard-fought victory. I have been watching China v Sweden, Korea Republic v Germany, and China v Japan in a row for like ten hours. Having deliberately shutting myself out of any information about these matches, I simply didn’t know they would last this long. I think I have to sleep for a whole day now in order to recover from the delightful fatigue and thrills…

  25. BTW those conversations in the chat about Harimoto's Chinese origins… It's tiring to say the least. This is today's world, people are migrating. Seeing Harimoto's energy and commitment in those matches, there is absolutely no doubt he is fighting for Team Japan. Plus it's not like Japan is not a table tennis country already. Harimoto's Chinese origins are just events of his personal life. He benefitted from his father's experience of Chinese training and coaching to become the powerhouse we see today, well good for him, and good for Japan.
