That s true. But I thought jump smash has to go against gravity so he s gotta lose some weight first, like 2 kg? By the way, Kei Nishikori s just upset tennis World No 1, Novak Djokovic in Basel Swiss Indoors, coming from a set down. Amazing to watch. Cool mind, neat speed, good head, solid shots. That s looking at two future WR1, one in badminton, one in tennis... Now if Tago can just replace some fat cells with muscle... The Japanese are going places!

Just done watching the match against LCW.. I would say that he should never play any defensive style.. it's not suited him at all.. he forced to play defensive style in set 2 bcoz LCW's pace is way too high for him..

I like his smash.. he can make the best-defense-player didn't have enough time to react

just that bcoz he's a little bit too slow, so he can't smash alot

and 1 thing, is it just from my view, or he is really relying too much on his backhand? it's good to suprise ur opponent, but once ur opponent get used to it, it's not that suprise anymore.. well, his idol is taufik, so, he must be copying him

No he just has to get rid of that sucky lack-of-control-racket Arc-Z

Tago has now attained the status of "habitual offender."

His racquets and shoes should be confiscated; he should be reprimanded; sent off to do 350 hours of community service cleaning the Koi ponds in Niigata prefecture (if they'll allow him within 5 miles of there, with his goofy attitude

) and then sent to spend the winter on the summit of Mt Kluchevskoy (if the Russians can trust him with their mountain, that is) alone; in reflection and meditation. Hopefully along the way he sheds a couple of pounds as well.

Tago performances is not consistent.Sometimes his good,sometimes his bad.When he use voltric80,his performance improved a little bit.But when he switch back to Arc Z,he become super yoyo in his match.Not consistent.

Congratulation on reaching another final(Malaysia open) Kenichi ^_^

Good luck!!

**extremenanopowe** · 01-14-2012, 08:02 AM

KT improves a bit, but he need to smash more in his games. And also moving in quickly after smashing. Just like lcw.

If he can do this, he can be top 4 easily.

Hmmm...just a thought, but in FO and MO, Tago received a walkover by his Chinese opponents, reaching the final against LCW both times. Perhaps it is an effort by the Chinese team to elevate Tago's ranking and put him in the Olympics over his teammate Sho Sasaki?

But they're both going to the Olympics, cause theyre both in the top 16...

Hope he switches to the new racquet quickly....

**Licin** · 01-29-2012, 11:55 PM

KT style of play quite similar to TH, it is very enjoyable to watch his matches. Come on KT.

In terms of racquet, he needs to change to a racquet which has bigger sweet spot...
