      this is truly a dream come true. THE Xu Xin vs. Adam Bobrow? two of my favorite players i know. i have a video suggestion, Adam, if you are able to, i want you to play Timo Boll again. i remember you played against him one time when he used his right hand during an interview. this time it shall be the rematch to see. 👀 or if this is even possible, probably do a doubles match with anybody you can get to do so! keep up the great content Adam! 🏓❤️🇨🇦

Everyone wants to see me get better, and are more than willing to give me advice or help me with my form, or humble me by showing what a real pro can do 😂. Honestly, TT is the first sport where I feel like I can get into it and not immediately be judged or criticized for being a part of it. It’s the most welcoming and kind community. Adam and Xu Xin are some prime examples of why I am working at getting better at TT. I just need to keep finding better and better players to help me get better.

    Laughed so hard thru the whole video lol. At the last a few points Xu Xin's mind was like "okay enough fun for today, let's play some serious shots", but his body was still like "aren't we here just for fun today?"

    • @shawnjude467
      @shawnjude467 11 місяців тому +19

      But tbh, though this has been extremely entertaining and fun, I still wish he and Adam can have a serious game, and see the true gap between a semi-retired pro and a top-notch amateur. But that could also be like Xu Xin said, "boring".

    • @datle2863
