I think Tommy is kinda predictable, he's got some fantastic solid shots but seems to lack deception and creativity. After watching him in an earlier match I was trying to work out why he was seeded only 8th, but after seeing him again today I think it's his lack of variation that hurts him.

Boonsak is a smart player so it'll be intersting to see how he fairs against him.

Michael Fuchs co-moderator now

**HappySachs** · 03-01-2013, 01:26 PM

The Korean pair look worryingly relaxed

**zhuangcorp** · 03-01-2013, 01:37 PM

Does anybody have the link to court 2 or 3?

**etudiant** · 03-01-2013, 01:44 PM

What ?? That's too bad.

They have real chemistry, and have real shot at challenge Asian hegemony in xd

But seeing that he and Gaby can bt strong Chn xd, I say give the young couple a chance

You didn't know it yet? Zwiebler also plays with something like that ...

I'd heard that Zwiebler used tension in that range, but earlier on the German co-commentator said he's currently using 14kg, which is about 31lbs

**LD rules!** · 03-01-2013, 02:04 PM

And the award for the worst line call this year goes to... *drumroll*

**speedyJT** · 03-01-2013, 02:06 PM

Ingo is flipping out. understandable...

I thought it might have changed now with the Z-Force but with ArcSaber 7 it was strung (and reported) by a member here at the US Open in 2011 ...

I can't understand how the umpire have not seen that himself and just overrule the line judge..
no matter what - the Koreans won over the Germans 26-24; 21-18.
Good match at all
