I saw this match in houston live. Thought it was the best match I saw.truls was spectacular.he stole the first game right under quadri nose,dominated the second game.That set the tone for the match.quadri ran nine points in a row in the third & truls blasted one down the line to remind him it was far from over.Truls is a very talented table tennis pro at just 19 years old. deserves all the respect he is getting

[@PongGod]

Seems like Truls is growing up before our eyes. He's handling himself with more maturity and oozing with both creativity and confidence. He's becoming a major force to reckon with.

[@AndreasSaag]

Of the opponent isn’t disrespectfully screaming after every point I bet it makes a difference 😅

Japanese player, HARIMOTO is a real screamer. But, any other player can't do like truls to Harimoto.

[@AndreasSaag]

@@user-ro6vr6pe8v I find Harimotos screaming just as disturbing as throwing the racket and I wish they also give a yellow card for that kind of screaming. (My personal opinion).

[@prototype225]

Agree, from an insolent child to an adolescent who respects his opponents. I would never believe that someday I'll be rooting for him. In past I would only laugh at him because of his bigheadedness, but now I realize how much he's grown.

@@AndreasSaag It's easy to dislike Harimoto for that reason alone. It's a shame because it detracts from his tremendous skills as a player.

It is interesting to see Truls using an Octagon racket and green rubber from Quadri .

[@user-lv5ej8hp2l]

his play style is quite interesting. i think this is old European style such as Waldner. He shows these technique is not die.

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Under pressure, he can still play like a kid, so loose, so creative, with such a variety of available shots the tight opponent seems not to be able to take advantage of opportunities presented.

[@simulationman1]

The Question ahead of the clash with Bolls is whether Moregard can take down the "King of Europe". Boll relies on being extremely precise and extremely consistent with few mistakes. In many ways, his style is the opposite of Moregard who relies on extreme variation and high risk/high reward. If Boll is struggling with injury, Moregard's chances increase significantly....

[@GhanaTableTennis]

I thought I was the only one who feels Moregard plays like a kid. But a very good kid.

When the big forehand of Aruna is being slapped around, then one should know there is trouble. I keep seeing trace of Jan-Ove Waldner in Moregard. Play simple but extremely accurate.

I've been saying the same for quite awhile. Truls definitely has a little bit of Waldner in him.

Is Quadri using the green Hurricane 9? Or what rubber? I only ask because at @0:11 he twiddled to serve with the green one and the ball did a double bounce more common with serves you do with tacky DHS rubbers. Like the MA Lin ghost serves.

You can't win against the Chinese trying to match their power and speed, they will always come out on top. You need a different and effective style of play. Truls has that but he still has a long way to go. He gives me serious Waldner flashbacks!

[@sheldoncooper5159]

what kind of racket is Truls using

[@bernardmensah9674]

Aruna really looked tired in this match and that’s understandable cos his game is very forehand oriented. I am pretty sure if he was fresh in his legs he would have beaten Truls Moreghard

[@xinzhongwei8739]

I also think Aruna lost on his backhands. Besides, he put too much force into his forehands and can not recover when the ball comes back. Once he improves in these 2 points, he would be unstoppable. Truls is promising talent who needs time and experience to go further than his world 77th ranking. He can be a top 20 player someday, maybe in 2 years, not now though.

Boll's body is breaking down so can't see him lasting much longer at this level. Ovtcharov just had surgery so it is unclear if he can come back at same level. Ideally Moregard and Kallberg would improve from here to establish themselves as top 10 players. They can beat players between 10-20 but have not had much success against top 8...

[@Enkidu1701]

It probably is better, but I´m not sure. At least it´s different. It´s called "Stiga Cybershape". Looks weird, but it´s kinda interesting. Due to it´s shape it´s allegedly larger than the traditional racket without being heavier and they claim it has a bigger sweat spot, etc. We´ll see how many players gonna use it in a year or 2.

[@romanseminogov9604]

off rubber vs off blade

[@matmagix3845]

Cute young player. Interesting observation, how come Truls' racket is cut into an octagonal shape, rather than the traditional oval? Does that have any impact on the ball?

[@chimyshark]

just noticed this is the new cybershape blade being advertised.

[@goenisch]

You have a slightly bigger sweet spot with this blade which allows more top quality shots.

[@AncientWisdom222]

It cuts down on the negative area near the handle and adds positive area near the top. So racquet to racquet comparison this shape has more striking area.

[@chimyshark]

@@AncientWisdom222 interesting info, but the angular shape is irrelevant to that parameter, because you can just make a round racket that's egg shaped with the wide part out in front.

[@AncientWisdom222]

@@chimyshark The reverse pear shaped racket was brought in market some eight or ten years ago but did not pick up at all. The cybershape is an improvement on the same. As someone has pointed out , it expands the sweet spot. Just like the shorter bat with long handle in cricket.

Многоугольное основание круче кислотной накладки!!!

[@robertrowles5450]

More impressive than the win against Lim. Am now genuinely unsure who’ll win the semi-. Boll usually eats other Europeans for breakfast....but he’s carrying that side injury. Plus he lost to Aruna recently. I want Boll to win - sole survivor of an era when several European men could actually compete with China, and he deserves it after the virus robbed him in Budapest - but this could be Moregard’s moment. Plus I dig the playing style. He even toned down the celebration at the end. My head says Boll.

[@MrGeezuz]

Truls all the way, unreal counter attack but it also shows how fast the bats are today, minimal effort, maximum speed takes laser sharp and ultra fast reactions, wonderful to watch!

[@rvj0-fortniteplayer252]

Truls is just another dimension, Boll one of a kind, but with that injury I think Truls is hard to beat a smart player with a lot of difficulties to face. Truls can become the European to beat the asian wall. Truls is special, so special.

Truls is hot but he has to be more aggressive against old man Timo. Of course, anything can happen. I would say Timo will win a set when he is leading. While Truls has to be careful even when he is ahead. Timo has the skills and experience to turn things around quickly while Truls is still playing on instinct. I have to say Timo is the favorite over Truls.
