Lin Gaoyuan, The Dark Knight, is World #3, plays for the Chinese National Team and was nice enough to play with me for a while.

  1. A “twiddle” is when a player turns the racket 180 degrees to change the forehand to the backhand side and vice versa. This is often done by players with very different rubbers on opposite sides of the racket. In this case, the twiddle is used because the player is using a rubber with a harder sponge on the forehand side (his black rubber), so he twiddles so that the red rubber, which is softer and springier, will be on the forehand instead. Since the ball is high after a lob, less spin is needed… and the red rubber should give the ball more speed. 8>)

  2. As someone that is new in this sport can i ask adam was way weeker in table tennis at this time or this chinese player is just so good?

  3. Was there Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the background? I guess you can hear him playing some topspins, right?

  4. It is interesting (to me) how top players are so not in the slightest fooled by a snake, even a really good one. He was totally set up and ready for any spin Adam could put on it.

  5. Lin Gaoyun is known for his mental unstableness, especially during critical matches. He shall be one of the starters a long time ago. The coaching team had high expectations of him and had invested so much resources in him. But the result was disappointing.

  6. One is playing to get as many points as possible, one is playing to win as hard as possible. If you know you know.
