Omar Assar vs Truls Moregard | MS Group 16 | ITTF MEN'S AND WOMEN'S WORLD CUP MACAO 2024

[@PanchoGDMKWii]

If players are gonna play like this on qualifying, then prefer just play best of five matches, this has more sense on teams competition, not men singles.

[@x0cx102]

Even if the format is bad, you are disrespecting yourself by playing like this. Real shame truls did this

[@nabkawe]

You haven't seen how hard Omar hits on his backhands... That guy is a beast, I watched him train 5 months ago, the balls all ended up looking black dotted due to how hard he hits them, it's like a bullet really... He's also incredibly tall so he reaches for balls no one think he'll actually block, you can see how shocked Truls looked by how much power he's recieving, also the cybershape has many advantages, serve recieves isn't one of them.

The curve on that second around the net

[@shibboleth_without]

Omar is very solid on this tournament.

Цирк просто,а не турнир, Трулс после 1:2 бросил играть!

[@motors1976]

А смысл ему играть дальше … надо было прекращать игру а не унижать уже проигравшего

​@@motors1976 кто кого унижал? Может вы не поняли, кто выиграл?

@@user-oy9jr6hp3o у меня с понятийным аппаратом все в порядке . Я о том , что эти правила идиотские на мой взгляд , и смысла проигравшему нет играть дальше ни малейшего .

El sistemas de clasificación es vergonzoso le quita competitiva a los partido, fracaso

[@luisalbertocastaneda2638]

El sistema de juego más estúpido de la historia!

[@petershen1794]

This game format would be okay if simply just add one option to all players: a player can give up (surrender) a set by his/her will. Then Truls and Dang Qiu can just give up their last sets instead of making these shit-shows.

[@karaangtao5870]

I say let them play shitty. It's a form of protest. Maybe the organization would change the stupid format.

[@chaohuang2440]

In the last round of a women's group in which Mima Ito played against Amy Wang, Amy Wang was out at 1:2. If Amy gave up the last game, Mima would be No.1 of the group. But Amy won the last game, then both Mima and Amy were out. I think allowing players to give up is not a good idea.

Disrespectful game by truls in 4th set

[@MrZoololator]

Because it's the most disrespectful and stupid game format we have ever heard of.

[@hawnt2r]

4th set didn't matter anyway

[@niclas6488]

The World Cup style of play is against the ITTF's own rules both regarding match format and contradicts the rule of always trying to play to full potential. Also kills the sport from the spectators view. 2 sets of 4 in exhibition play??

[@VicAusTT]

Sign of protest

[@saivers2032]

Imagine that, after the dissapointment of lossing the match, having to muster the mental strength to entertain the crowd for another set, just becuase ITTF wants to sell longer shows and tickets. This ridiculous experimenting format is not about sports it's about marketing. I feel bad for Truls and any other players who have had to deal with this. I hope we don't see any other experiments from ITTF.

[@x0cx102]

Truls moregardh making a fool of himself in the last set. Yes the format is bad but you don’t have to disrespect yourself and the game like that. In the women’s section there was much higher level of professionalism as players played each set competitively even if they were already out by the last set.

[@RaymondChambersJa]

it wasn't disresepct. Theyre humans too. He was just like lemme have some fun

Truls is a disgrace to mankind. He should be given a red card and be booted out.
