[@RaymondChambersJa]

So proud of him. He was trembling so much!

[@abstractexchange5057]

Liu Guolang, the chinese table tennis legend as player and coach, once said that he concerns about the popularity of table tennis more than the result of matches. Heavyweight balls are luring stupid stuff in table tennis. They make table tennis become bored with very few touches in every balls series, and with more offgame time, less long rallies, less visual athletic skills shows. The less touches in every ball series, the less ongame time, the more offgame time, and players lose more their time for offgame time to go to pick up balls. HEAVYWEIGHT BALLS MAKE TABLE TENNIS MANUFACTURER AND PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS TO BE POORER AND POORER, because heavyweight balls make table tennis extremely difficult to play amateur social games for new beginners. Thus majority of new beginners leave away from table tennis, and there be very few new beginners still keep playing table tennis (extremely difficult to play game for beginners). It requires few weeks of training for new beginners to reach minimal amateur levels to play amateur social games in other sport, for example in badminton, billards, .. . BUT IT REQUIRES FEW YEARS OF TRAINING FOR NEW BEGINNERS TO REACH MINIMAL AMATEUR LEVEL TO PLAY AMATEUR SOCIAL TABLE TENNIS GAMES. It is very stupid big time training requirement for beginners in table tennis, thus majority of new beinners just leave table tennis. I personally see much many real life cases today : private commercial table tennis club halls are revamped to become badminton club halls, because table tennis is extreme difficult to attract enough number of new beginners to get profit for running commercial table tennis clubs as commercial social sport services. If the commercial private table tennis halls have high ceils, then their owners often cancel table tennis club services to convert halls into commercial badminton club or other sport services halls to get profit, because there are very few new amateur table tennis players. The reason of stiff difficulty of table tennis for new beginners : heavyweight balls make table tennis to be extremely difficult for new beginners : they fly extremely lightening fast in air, and they are difficult to control for beginners. Lightweight balls make table tennis become extreme easier for new beginners : they fly slower in air, they are easier to control for beginners. With lightweight balls, every ball series will have more touches in average. Thus table tennis matches will have more ongame time and less offgame times, thus players have more ongame time. It is valuable ! Because amateur players pay their time to play table tennis matches for health and social fun/communication, thus the more offgame time, the less waste time for players ! Everyone can try lightweight balls, for example 2gr balls, to feel how extremely more easily to play table tennis for new beginners. The next balls of table tennis must be lightweight balls, for example, 2-2.5gr balls instead of the current 2.7gr balls. The result of lightweight balls will be staggering : there will be more billion new beginners come and keep playing table tennis with new lightweight balls of 2gr, because lightweight balls do not require stupid enormous few years of training to reach minimal amateur level to play amateur social table tennis game, but require only few weeks of training enough to play amateur social table tennis games. Of course, it leads to increadible big scale business of table tennis equipment manufacturers, it leads to increadible big number of table tennis audience of professional tournaments . Because new billion beginners will play and keep playing the easier version of table tennis with lightweight balls 2-2.5gram, but not the current stupid extreme difficult version of table tennis with heavyweight balls 2.7gram, thus they known playing table tennis as amateur players and once they known playing then they will have interest to watch table tennis tournaments. They will be billion one, once lightweight balls 2-2.5gram are applied in table tennis.

Какая выдержка в финальном розыгрыше от француза😮Дождался пока его извинения примут, и лишь после этого начал праздновать победу🎉Моё уважение❤

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

Thinking about how he played FZD vs other players: -he varied his serves, returns, and attacks -he didn't crack when he was getting beaten -he played confident throughout the entire match He may have barely won in such a controversial way, but he got there through plenty of effort. These Lebrun brothers are on the map now. Can they continue to play at such a high level? (You also have to factor in he got some extra rest not having to play Lin-JY in tournaments that were basically back to back)

[@J.J.J.J.J.J.J]

He kept making chirping noises right before FZD serves. That was they key.

[@AlendrisGaming]

C’est tellement agréable de voir des Français à ce niveau en tennis de table et avec cette régularité! Je ne me souviens pas d’avoir vu cela depuis…… Jean-Philippe Gatien! Bien sûr que certains Français ont brillé de temps à autre, mais là, c’est une autre histoire! Que ce soit Félix ou Alexis, ils sont jeunes et sont quasiment au même niveau que le top 10 mondial! Je le souhaite la même longévité que Timo Boll et un palmarès aussi incroyable que Waldner! Vous nous régalez en tout cas que ce soit par votre niveau de jeu mais aussi, et c’est encore plus important, par votre attitude de guerrier! Bonne continuation !
