    Dude Nikhil plays so smart it makes me mad. None of his shots were that impressive to me in terms of quality like spin and power, but his placement is sooooo goooood bro.

      He hit this inside out forehand that was super low, powerful and wide while starting from the middle of the table, I'm not sure how he did it, but he was playing on a different level. Send that guy to more WTT events.

    Nikhil's backhand was better than Jishan's. Jishan looked very tentative with his backhand rallies. He needs to work on improving that and next time go after Nikhil's forehand more with short serves to his forehand. And some long sidespin to his backhand. Congrats to Nikhil on a well-played game.

      ​@Sam-fg5mi here's the thing, I haven't met one person in USATT that isn't anything but humble and respectful. I'm sure there are a few that have a poor reputation but I could count those on one hand. Nikhil isn't anything but respectful, and because of the size of our community, almost all competitors are also really close friends. You are free to judge all you want, but those are my two cents.

      @LosangelesTableTennis Lol, I didn't mean to judge anyone, it was just annoying to me and I expressed my feelings, nothing more. However, I noticed some viewers complaining about his poor 'sportsmanship' during the live chat! I hope we get a much larger community one day. Thank you for your feedback.

    Nikhil should have middle name Harimoto.
    Nikhil has very compact attacking style and capable of covering the balls very early. Impressive for his height!

    i watch the national and this match several times, jishan definitely played with better tactics and won as a result. Ronald Lee also beat kumar at the la open. No kumar has been struggling. He did get hot at the national and has cooled off.

      Ya, Nikhil really played well here and it makes me curious what their head 2 head history looks like. I feel jishan missed a lot of shots that he was hitting in previous matches. It may just be a case of having an off day.

      He's currently suspended (until December, I think) due to USADA whereabouts violation. But even prior to that, he skipped one or two of the US Nationals events for whatever reason. I think he could win 10+ national titles if he desired to.

    Very unfortunate camera angle considering both players are lefties and are blocking the view of half the table most of the time.

      @@LosAngelesTableTennis i agree they should be vocal, but at more critical moments. Not every single point like on a missed push. And maybe not screaming their lungs out. Like scream your lungs out at the big points, and then a small "come on" or "lets go" at the smaller ones. It borders on unsportsmanlike conduct in my opinion.

    Is this the actual U.S. championships, as in the top player in the U.S.? I ask because I'm wondering why Kou Lei didn't make it to the finals, if he even showed up. He'd probably have no problem against Nikhil, and I know he'd make mince meat out of Jishan (they played in Westchester). I rooted for Jishan in this match. His BH was simply too weak against Nikhil. Nikhil played with fabulous control and placement, and certainly had tons of power. I noticed he developed a pattern against Jishan. He'd serve to his middle or FH, then rip Jishan's return to his extreme wide FH. Even if Jishan got it back, it would be weak, and Nikhil would just hit a home run. I may be Nikhil's new fan.

    • @LosAngelesTableTennis
      @LosAngelesTableTennis  Рік тому +3

      So this National Championships Event is open only to US Citizens. Kou Lei is still the highest rated player in the US, and the undisputed champion. Let's see how he does at the LA Open and the US Open.
