Wang Hao lost to Mizutani 0-3,  he seems out of shape and has a lousy schoolboy hairstyle, he needs to get his more intense hairstyle back no comment on how he is playing those days :/

did he change the rubber?
Anyway, he looks like those big fat dumb schoolboy; people can boss him around.

HaHa Wang Hao is doing something EJ's would do after losing: blame the equipment. Here (if you can read Chinese):

He said his blade was very difficult to use! Wonder what blade he was trying...

ZingyDNA, can you write more about what else he said???

Mizutani beats wang hao 3-0, wang hao is gettin worser ans worser sice he has a new girlfriend.

I'm glad to see that under-estimation is also a common mistake at top level. I have a team mate who use to be very high ranked 3/4 years ago but his level and ranking has dropped down recently. Last week he has lost 2 much weaker opponents and he still doesn't know why. I'll tell him about Wang Hao and maybe he'll understand that, no matter your opponent's ranking his, he/she deserves respect and we shall never take victory for granted. But here, I also think Wang is making a mistake as well. Maybe 1 or 2 years ago he could have played cat and mouse with Mizutani, but the kid has improved a lot lately. Wang needs serious training and gym if he wants to level up.

Xu Xin vs Mizutani (East Asia Games 2009) Team FINAL

greeeeeaaaaattttttttt!!!!!!!!

i think Mizutani was being a bit too happy while winning points against Wang Hao.  Wang Hao doesn't seem to have any determination to play; stop rubbing it in his face.  This clearly isn't even his normal performance.

I wonder if he's sick or his girlfriend broke up with him.  Maybe she's pregnant and he doesn't want to be a father!  He's always got this depressed face now.

The level of play T.Boll showed last time against W.hao has nothing to do with the level of play T.Boll showed when lost to W.Hao in the World Cup final that W.hao won. Just see service placement and powerplay.

Things are bizzare at the mmnt. We see Boll playing well but loosing 2 times in a row agst Maze at Euro championship. He has rarely lost him before. Samsonov not winning a match for 6 months and suddenly getting the world cup...WLQ expected to retire but still in great shape with good results. Wang Hao absent for a long time, reappearing and looking like a zombie. Ma Lin, one day launching missiles, the other day unable to make 1 killing loop. Ma Long spanking everybody but Kishikawa....Hao Shuai, still 7 in the world but no longer part of the team... I don't see Boll has improved a lot lately. He has always been like this. 4 monthes a year, he's on fire, playing close to the table, beating everybody. Usually at the end of the year, when all big titles have been played... Rest of the year, it's uneven. Offently injured or simply out of shape.

i think its so funny how Yoshida Kaii gets so pissed off during his match.  All his serves are ILLEGAL!  he freakin hides on contact!!!!!!!!!!!

guangdong sports and shanghai sports will both show some more tt from the east asian games starting in less than 10 mins. from now.  it should go on for the next 2 hours.

Is Guangdong sports part of TVUPlayer channels? I see Shanghai sports and they're showing women's doubles.

but, at any rate, i don't think shanghai sports is gonna cut away, cuz, i think all the matches are finals.  unfortunately, i don't speak chinese, so i don't know for sure...
