Hi,
well I also think Waldner concentrates on the Championships in Osaka and also think that he'll play a good tournament. What else should you expect from JO
As the others already said that fact could explain his bad results recently, but I can hardly imagine that a player like Waldner with his great abilities is so diverted by the preparation for the Championship that he can't play good tabletennis at the moment. So either is does not want to show his great shape actually
or he's really not that strong in this weeks.
But anyway, I guess Waldner will play good in Osaka and will be in shape just in time. I'm really looking forward to this event and I'm intereseted to see if the "rest of world" is able to close up the gap to the Asian players.
Of course I would be happy if a German player would advance to the finals perhaps. Both Boll and Rosskopf are in a good shape and maybe they are good for a surprise.
