Preview: An upbeat Falcons TTC will take on confident Dabang Smashers T.T.C on Day 4 of Ultimate Table Tennis to be played in Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai on Sunday. [caption id=“attachment_3820249” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Sanil Shetty of Falcons TTC in action during the Tie 1 match of the Ultimate Table Tennis league played between RP-SG Mavericks and Falcons TTC. Ultimate Table Tennis[/caption] Riding on a pumped up performance from India’s Sanil Shetty and China’s Wu Yang, Falcons TTC made a comeback win after trailing 5-7 half way through in their first tie against RP-SG Mavericks. “Wu Yang’s 3-0 win over Sabine in the fifth game was a great confidence booster for the entire team. No doubt it was inspirational as at this point we took lead in the tie,” explained Shetty. The next match Shetty created an upset beating world No. 31 Tiago Apolonia which gave Falcons a 2-point cushion over RP-SG Mavericks. “Wu kept a clean slate in her next game (against Archana Kamath) which brought us closer to winning the tie. The team was pumped after that and the eventual result was a satisfying 15-12 win over Mavericks,” said Shetty. The 27-year old knows it’s a long way to go in the league with four more games to play, the next coming up against Dabang Smashers T.T.C on Sunday. The Dabang Smashers T.T.C did not finish on the right side of their opening Tie after losing 15-12 to Shaze Challengers and they will be looking to get 14 or more points on Sunday. On his team’s upcoming fixture Shetty feels it would be a great contest as their opponents pulled back from being down by 6-12 to ending the contest at 12-15 against Shazé Challengers on Friday night. “Kim Song I and Marcos (Freitas) did incredible to bring them back in the contest. The last tie between Tetyana and Petrissa was anyone’s game. Points don’t tell the real story about how well Dabang played actually,” Shetty explained. The Mumbai lad still feels his team Falcons TTC is equipped to match Dabang Smashers T.T.C in all departments and looks forward to playing them.

July 16, 2017, 22:47:11 (IST)
Agony for Kim Song I as her back hand flick is obstructed by the net and Wu Yang keeps her record intact of not dropping a game! She has been such a delight to watch! Peerless in her defence and has the surprise attacking forehand that brings her many points.

July 16, 2017, 22:37:52 (IST)
Kim wins a couple of points and after a string of defensive chops , she pivots and tries it swat it down the line but the side spin on the ball didn’t allow her to get all of it, hits it out and she is up against 4 game points and as we speak she ends up netting it. Wu Yang takes game 2 11-6.

July 16, 2017, 22:19:56 (IST)
Edge of the table and the chair umpires ruled it in the favour of Kou Lei but Kou Lei said that the point belongs to Ghosh as he touches some part of the table and that is a heart-warming sight of sportsman ship in an high voltage game!
July 16, 2017, 22:18:04 (IST)

Super return by Mukherjee to reduce the point gap, but it was never going to threat Kim Song I as she takes the second game 11-4.

Kim Song I takes the first game comfortably as Mukherjee missed out to drill the ball with her forehand smash, she got on the top of it alright, but smashes it just wide.

July 16, 2017, 21:43:49 (IST)
What a point!! Incredible rally and Sathiyan has come good one more time, extra ordinary table tennis! Gerell goes back a gives the ball a lot of side spin, but Sathiyan has managed to get behind the ball and smash it from a ball that was rising over his head!
July 16, 2017, 21:40:31 (IST)
