Equipment penholder guy?

[@tattedtabletennisplayer]

Nice!

[@rakishman1313]

Good match. The blue 👕 player was chopblocking extremely well and red 👚 guy didn’t have an answer for it. Doubt the red 👚 guy is at 2500 level but overall very nice match. The blue 👕 player should have awarded an edge ball to opponent that was a valid point and he knew it as he looked at the ref multiple times. That’s just not good sportsmanship but still a good play

[@chimyshark]

The red guy Daniel Tran is over 2500 though, he even beat Jimmy Butler in Feb 2022.

i feel like eduardo's height had an effect on his backhand

[@chimyshark]

do you feel like it helped or didn't help his backhand?

[@ferivertid]

@@chimyshark definitely negative since short height is only advantageous for close to table hitters and jpen tradition has always been long distance loopers

[@Mobile-km1qi]

Whats is this Guy saying?

[@keithlintt]

isn't that jeff yamada?

[@Mobile-km1qi]

No, It is Eduardo Tomoike. (Dudu). I am friend of both. When I was a junior, Jeff, was a child. After I graduate in university and retired from Table tênis, Jeff was a junior and Dudu was a prodigy child

[@Mobile-km1qi]

Tomoike is like 4 time south American Champion and 3 times latin American Champion (cadet and junior). The only Guy who stopped him in junior continental tournment was Rafael Turrini who is playing now for ASV in Germany.
