[@Kingminsoong]

[@unwishfulthink]

I am so happy to see him back.... no disrespect to Nakil Kumar, but Kanak is the true USA #1, by a mile.

Table tennis is becoming more interesting, more attractive for beginners, and more entertaining with longer rallies, more techniques visualization, more athletic techniques visualization in 2024, thanks to that many professional tournaments choose lightweight balls. Even the new 2024 year Nittaku balls are more lightweight than old Nittaku balls. But these balls need to become more lightweight, for example 2.5grams balls instead of 2.7 gram balls. Lightweight balls are great for table tennis sport. It makes table tennis become more attractive and easier to begin for beginners in our busy world. It is very important to make table tennis become easier for beginners, because nobody will pay few years to train just for capably beginning play amateur social table tennis games in our busy world. Today in our busy world, people require that the minimal beginners training time of table tennis to be just FEW WEEKS, BUT NOT FEW YEARS AS IN THE CURRENT VERSION OF TABLE TENNIS WITH HEAVYWEIGHT BALLS 2.7GRAMS. It can be achieved by apply lightweight balls, for example 2.5grams balls, then it exactly will require beginners to train only few weeks in table tennis with lightweight balls to get skills to begin play serious amateur table tennis games for funs/healths/communications. It will attract billions new beginners come and remain playing the version of lightweight ball table tennis as social sport. Thus of course it will put table tennis sport in new leap high level of popularity in entertaining television and in worldwide social playing sport too. Of course it will put business of table tennis equipment manufacturers in new leap prospect and profits WHEN BILLIONS NEW BEGINNERS CAN EAYSY PLAY REAL SERIOUS AMATEUR GAMES OF THE VERSION OF 2.5GRAMS LIGHTWEIGHT BALL TABLE TENNIS AFTER JUST FEW WEEKS OF TRAINING. (In the current heavyweight ball table tennis, new beginners need minimal few years of training to play amatuer games, so most of them leave table tennis or simply not begin to play table tennis). Thus it is common motivation for all, for ITTF, for table tennis equipment manufacturers, for table tennis tournament administrators, for table tennis sponsors, for new beginners, ... TO AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLY REACH TO CONCENSUS OF APPLYING NEW LIGHTWEIGHT BALLS IN TABLE TENIS, FOR EXAMPLE APPLY THE 2.5GRAMS LIGHTWEIGHT BALLS INSTEAD OF THE CURRENT 2.7GRAMS BALLS. Thanks to lightweight balls, it is now possible to exist many equal competitive playing styles in table tennis sport. It makes table tennis to become more wealthy various, more entertaining. If use heavyweight balls, then other playing styles can not be competitive in table tennis sport, but just smashsing - countering style can exist only. Thus, the ITTF must as soon as possible apply lightweight balls of 2.5gram to replace the current 2.7 gram balls.

[@BadDog69]

Shocking to see Kanak miss his serves.. An played well, but Kanak seemed to push him a little more than An expected. Great match.

Great Win Kanak!! So glad he's back

Hard fought and great win Kanak! Way to hang in there, maintain focus and close it out. Nicely done and congrats! 👏👏

Welcom back Sam) im waiting for Kanak so long (almost like Muramatsu)...seens he was baned and wasnt other information about him. im glad that kanak play again!) Congrats!)

[@big_pip_energy_tt]

He was suspended because he missed 3 drug tests, which goes against USATT rules, but there's no proof that he actually took drugs

[@aerotus888]

He just absent minded

[@CewbPianist]

First off it's not actually exactly USATT rules, but US Team Rules (for any sport representing USA). Next up gotta mention yes it is partially his fault, as well as the USA sport governing body's problem. They have a rule where you have to claim where you are, and they will randomly come check and drug test you, you get 3 opportunities to be there, and if you're not there, you get a ban from competing. Which is kind of stupid, meaning you have to always be where you claim you are and can't deviate and do anything.

[@AndyK665]

He's baaaaack

[@Waingro808]

Welcome back KJ!!!

[@user-uc3ll4jj1k]

TO -- WTT - 2 comments -- 1. - This oblique angle It's also very good. At least it's much better than one left and one right ! 2. - This competition is very exciting. Only 125 points? I think 200 should be more reasonable.

An is the new Lin Gao yuan

[@houstonhuaren9908]

[@DQ2121]

This is like Kanak's style but taken to it's peak/conclusion. His style is a little like Liu Shiwen - fast and close to the table.

[@yuhani123]

Amazing blocker from US .. btw, does anyone know how many outfits can be changed during one game?

[@elmanuboy]

No limit. Calderano always change shirt between games and during timeouts.

[@akilakbar9933]

as many as you want😁

[@michaelferron3866]

Imo the rule should be that you can change but only for the exact same shirt

[@kd6613]

Kanak looks solid! ❤

[@Engel-tr2qu]

Poor An, looses every final 😢

[@kewelln10]

His backhand lacks consistency.

[@ansman5062]

I think it’s because he’s a bit of a show man and likes to play away from the table. He’s very talented and fun to watch, but it’s not easy to win at the top level like that

[@wayneshen5194]

@@ansman5062 yeah, if he wants to be away from the table, he should be at least close to Hugo's level.

Jha was lucky this one was even less popular than in Beirut.

[@tajmohd7881]

Man, Kanak did a lot of block, this wouldn’t work against powerful players like wang and fan though, also his serve recive was poor, still great comeback!!!!!

[@shutupnavikrant]

Well those guys are world no. 1, 2 for a reason. Same could also be said for AN, he wouldn't last very long against Wang Chuqin

[@michaelferron3866]

I'd like to have the same poor receives tbh. And yes, Kanak's style is all about control. Long push in the backhand corner to get a weak attack then blocking deep. Not too much of a counter top spiner. Good to see a player with a bit of a different style for once.

[@shutupnavikrant]

@@michaelferron3866 exactly

[@girish325]

Service is Kanaks weakness..He got to improve that to break into 50

[@frederikvater]

God dammit

[@davidandersson4579]

Difficult to celebrate this win knowing he was banned for missing THREE drug tests. I mean, no one misses three if they don't actively hiding something. Just look at Marion Jones and Neil Montgomery, did the same thing - finally it was revelead they cheated. I don't understand how Butterfly can still sponsor him. They should be ashamed of themselves.

[@bruce3906]

use your brain, its table tennis, no drugs can make you play better or win wang chuqin, probably drugs just for fun/addicted, not cheat, lmao stupid.

[@walterpoelzing9412]

He paid the price. I wish him the absolute best. Who knows? This may give him that killer motivation to be the first American in the top 10 in 75 years. I am absolutely a Kanak fan.

[@michaelferron3866]

Give the kid the chance to amend himself. He paid for it and will be under intense scrutiny for years. So hard for people to give second chances nowadays...

[@carrementmec6772]

Do you know how drug test work? You give your usual whereabouts, and the agents come on random times. Imagine you get sick, can’t go practice, and they come, they’ll count that as a missed drug test. Give hin the benefit of the doubt, he did his sentence, just enjoy

[@peterl392]

roid head looks 10 yrs older

[@Tigrboy]

Do you have any proof he took roids. He missed a test because the tester didn't dial the USA code on his phone and couldn't get in touch with him. Do you really think that Kanak didn't include USA country code on purpose. He must be the only USA athlete undergoing testing while living in Europe and having a US number. It's easy to skip a test when you know there are three.

Cheater Kanak wins

[@CewbPianist]

cheater????? If you're talking about missing drug tests, that doesn't mean he cheated.... It's the USA sport org's drug policy where he has to be where he claims he is and they'll randomly come test him. Yes he had 3 chances, so I will say, it is partially his fault. But again, it's also hard to judge considering he's been training in Germany.

[@chingis-han]

@@CewbPianist ok, whatever you say))

[@CewbPianist]

you can't prove he cheated.... innocent until proven guilty.... + I would be 100% sure they would immediately drug test him after he's unbanned? Team USA would be stupid if they didn't do that

[@chingis-han]

@@CewbPianist what are you talking about?) who cares about innocence now?) accused, but it’s not necessary to prove) P.S. The USA themselves started this fashion😄

[@CewbPianist]

so you're gonna assume every table tennis player is a cheater until proven innocent get out of here... you're also saying you're a cheater, you haven'r proved yourself innocent...
