The commentator is a tool. Ma Long doesn't disguise his backhand, he just uses his left hand for power/balance.

did you actually mean "tool" or "fool?"

forgive me for being an american, but i just can't stand to listen to snoody, snobby, snotty, phlegmy-voiced brits.  and the fact that there are sometimes 2 of them there doing the commentary is just sickening to me, figuratively and literally.

so, somebody, please get a box a kleenex and send those 2 blokes away to the washroom!!  actually, make it 2 boxes...

I have not seen her playing on the world stage for quite some time (marriage). Has she played any major event recently (I may have missed)? Nope, she hasn't played in 10 months, but she will be back on top with Liu's loss in the first round. Only 2 points seperated the 2 on ITTF, there is a gap of over 100 between her and the 2nd place on Rating Central...

To be honest though, your ranking points should decrease slowly if you don't maintain titles. Basically, I think that's the idea behind bonus points for winning titles, since if you keep winning them, you should get to keep those bonus points.

i noticed too.  a bit strange but it won him the point.

Yeah the Chinese youngsters are coming up so fast. Missing any oppertunities to take any game costs you...

Well I like him, I like that kind of voice, reminds me on tennis commentators on Eurosport, but they need to bring in two of them, and one of the commentators to be some expert in table tennis (for example a top players coach, or former world champion) who really understands the game and could tell us some interesting comments, and not just "ho ho ho, what a point!" .
But I think this commentator is quite good, just need some expert alongside of him :).

Well, they actually have two commentators :))

Wow.. that was one of the best matches I've ever seen the rally in the fifth game is incredible.. WLQ still overpowers XX.
But XX is only what 19 or 20? He still developing.. XX looks like the real deal, his FH improve quite a lot, he is one of the best retriever of the ball away from the table. He and Ma Long will rule TT in the future when Wang Hao is gone..
