Well, apparently the HKG players did not conquer anything today... I see some Russian improvements in MD here... Ivanov-Sozonov?!? Weren't they the guys who gave Rian-Yoke a hard time at the Russian Open a few years ago... Is this their first international title or something?
Pablo has been impressive, he beat Joachim, Usually pablo isn't a dangerous player, I think he improved dramatically, Must be training hard.....Keep it up.....Good luck
He played excellent in Poland. Very fast, good defence, good attack; even good right hand and left hand
jsteve what do you mean by good right hand and good left hand in your previous msg , Does Pablo play with both hands
One friend who was there told me that Abian defended a smash in the semifinal changing his racket to the left hand and finally he won the point. If I were Persson I would feel very frustrated
Exactly so. During semi vs Persson. But Polish TV recorded and showed only final, so it is difficult to find a video or picture. However there are some videos I think but I have got not any.
We see any tennis player did it too, can hit the ball by left or right hand. It's not against the rules. INA had one "the octopussy" in tennis.
Pablo Abián was impressive in the Polish International I think Pablo Abian defended in the final one smash with the left hand and won the point. If someone recorded the final could upload the defense. Thanks
