You could not have said it any better

I wonder how much of their retire reasons are from the ghoulish training regiment that is forced on them.

Theres no way people dont throw matches 😂 theres a reason hard rock always gives bonuses to mainly table tennis. Its a way to hook someone winning to much on their site

The Champ should always get a chance (wild card if needed) to defend the title. Fix it to the next og please!

In the Chess world, they recently bent the rules to accommodate Magnus Carlson. They should adjust the TT rules. You can't lose the best player FZD.

That's OK, Chinese Super League, German League, and probably the UK or French League will be beneficiaries of FZD playing for money, and good on him.

Wtt is started by Chinese. Why the nonsense now..

I just went 0-12 in live table tennis 😂😂😂fixed for sure

But i think blame has also be put on the ctta for blocking chen meng, fzd, ma long for benefit of ln shidong and wang chuzqin

Players are not salaried employees of the WTT. WTT is powered, solely, by the talent and hard work of the players. At the moment, Steve Dainton and his cabal at WTT are treating international Table Tennis as their personal fiefdom, and the players as their serfs. This needs to stop. I hope the players get together and form a union and fight for their rights. Also, it's a shame that hardly anyone batted an eyelid when Quadri Aruna was fined. Thanks a lot for speaking about him! And of course, kudos to both Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong for taking this bold, bold step. They made sure everyone knew what a pathetic bunch those at the top of WTT are. Anyway, it would be a real shame if we never get to see Fan Zhendong and Chen Meng in international events again. While I am at it, might as well say the side camera angle utterly sucks. Rant over.

I have seen a lot of matches where the better player lets the worse player win 2 sets and 6 points, and then he starts to win point after point, humiliating him until he wins the match. I don't know how betting companies like Bet365 still work with these leagues. It's not all about the money

Nowadays, those polaks and russian leagues are all fixed... maybe 7 years ago you could find any fixed match... now you can find 1 in 10 which is not fixed

in my honest opinion I feel that long pips give any player a tremendous advantage . That's why I have just changed my bat to long pips

I am reading Ping-pong diplomacy right now and it is so interesting. I will be looking into Klaus Fusch next.

They are indeed a force to be reckoned with. You mentioned Kim Hyok Bong who won the Mixed Doubles title with Kim Jong in 2013. He also beat Joo Sae Hyuk at the 2012 London Olympics. I believe he's now the head coach for the current North Korean team. He was at both the Paris Olympics and Asian Championships as coach. As for Kim Kum Yong, she has the potential to become the next world champ. True, she hasn't met Chen Meng or Wang Manyu who as somebody mentioned here, are known to eat long pips players for lunch. We'll just have to wait and see. But for now, I'll go with KKY.

Long pips players have the initial advantage. After a few more encounters, a long pips player won't be much a threat. Besides, Kim Kum Yong has not encountered Chen Meng or Wang Manyu yet. Both Chen and Wang are known to eat long pips players for lunch.

Very informative, great work!👍👍

Welcome back Ash!!!!!

Yes it’s clearly rigged

All the people who saud Félix can't beat the Chinese, where are you now that he crushed 4-0 the world number 2 ?

I thought it was not real on fixings ohh a good video

Here after tomokazu won the asian championship

Hi Ash, hope you're doing well. Your channel has a lot of potential so I do hope you upload more. It's been a month since your last upload and I'm starting to miss your content 😢

Cheaters are disgusting 🤮

It’s 100,000,000 percent rigged

Chen Meng for sure.

I mostly trade in Czech liga pro I see stats before placing trade but good information

The most rigged sport in any sport. 1v1, keeps it simple, simple is the nature of the sport too, hell I used to play locally and was decent. It isnt the same to rig an 11v11 football match as it is to rig a 1v1 hitting a small ball around. Fonbet supports it all, has a 1k bet limit. Fonbet is Russian. 😂

good

My first time finding out about this i lost like $600 then turned mt last 250 ish dollars to like 13k in one night live betting on table tennis. I got lucky and quit - i still bet with $10 here n there, but they took out the main bet i did winning 13k which was betting on even/odd points and even was almost always hitting

Can you please talk about the potential match-fixing considering how disappointed the coaches looked when Chen Meng won?

Well this didn't age well

Zhang, followed by Deng..... it's more than stats or win numbers, it's how the players get those stats and wins. Zhang just put fear in her opponents, destroy everything.....

After winning the gold in the men's singles at the Paris Olympic Games, Fan Zhendong completed his career Grand Slam, becoming the sixth male table tennis player in the history of table tennis to achieve the Grand Slam (Olympic Games, World Table Tennis Championships, World Cup). In addition, Fan Zhendong has won the World Table Tennis Championships, the World Cup, the National Games, the National Championships, the Tour Finals, the Asian Games, the Asian Championships and the Asian Cup in his career. He has completed the "Super Grand Slam" and became the third table tennis player to complete the "Super Grand Slam" after Deng Yaping and Ma Long!

I just found out your channel and I must say it's great, I'm looking forward to watch every video of it. Keep up the good work!

Frances mens team is very strong this time. With the home support its gonna be a treat. Rooting for alexi he is a beast in team game. Remember the time he was close to defeat fan in ittf worlds. Anyways hope for an upset .

This was a great game I didn’t see the Chen meng win coming, can put it down to experience and mentality maybe? Can you make a video on S.G. Pyong of North Korea? I find it insane that she was able to take hiyata (the clear 3rd best female in the world) all the way to seven sets and gave her an even better fight than Shin Yu Bin in the bronze medal match. If this happened in any other sport people would be losing their minds lol

Back after Chen Meng defends her title 🙏🏾💪🏾

Shen Meng entered History.

Really appreciate you doing these videos! Our sport has so little coverage or discussion.

They sell the picks

well we now know they shoulda sent Ma Long. the GOAT would NEVER lose in the round of 32

N Korea got silver in women's synchronized diving too (China got gold). Crazy!

20 year tradition has been broken, really amazing. In my eyes the broken bat isnt an excuse for wangs lost. Pros usually have 2 or 3 copies of the exact same racket for those szenarios. Also they change cobstantly changing their rubbers 3-5 days. So the argument that he had to addept to his new racket is just false. Pros should be used to changing their racket, people are reacting like he change fron zlc carbon racket with dignics rubbers to a beginner racket. I morely think wang lost because of his mentality and moregardhs playing style. Wang didnt looked well in his game and missed a lot of his forehand top spins and backhand flick. The chinese also have a weakness for non-conventional play. When wang chuqin was playing wang yang he had big problems in the first set and he needed to adapt later on. Or when the chinese women team nearly list to india at wttc busan. Moregardh playing style is very different involving a lot of chop blocks and his super special serve, something players are usually not used to fight against. I think those factors combined explain why in the end wang chuqin lost. (Also moregardh mentality today was on top today, like this man went on killer mode 💀)

#thecameramandidit

Great guess on the doubles table tennis. Big upset for men's singles!!!!

I was cheering for the North Korean team in the mixed doubles gold medal match against China's Wang and Sun. They were the underdogs and although they lost 4-2, they put up a good fight. What a pity, North Korea is ruled by a ruthless dictator. They didn't compete in the Tokyo Olympics, but they did in the Rio 2016 Games. Their outstanding player then was Kim Song I and she won a bronze medal in the Women's single event. At that time she was one of the world's best choppers/defenders.

I found our channel right now and i already can see it's good stuff. Friendly greetings from Brazil🎉

Very deep reflexion, my friend. Really good video. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
