Can't be too happy when you lost to a lower rated player and $2000.

She also beat He Zhiwen in the QF. Really solid wins for any US player. Would love to see how she’d do against our men’s team. I’m guessing Kanak might be the only one strong enough to beat her.

Not really an ouch. She played NA Teams and she gave Ricardo Walther a good match. If she were to beat Kanak in a match, it is no biggie, top level players with her level of experience can do things and know tricks for one match. It just shouldn't be forever.

Not sure if "tricks" has much to do with it in her case....9 years in the Chinese Super League, and she has quite a number of highly impressive wins against male players under her belt. I think she's just an exceptional player. Not only did she take a game off Walther who is a top 50 in the world player and 2800 USATT, she's also defeated Eugene Wang before... She just made a 2700+ rated chinese provincial player look relatively average...had no problems with Jiwei's serves at all, kept him relatively off balance with her own serve. She won so many easy points on her serve, and there were a lot of 5th ball mistakes on Jiwei's part where she got back his opening loop and then missed the corresponding 5th ball (maybe not expecting the initial attack to be blocked or countered)

Nothing historic or unusual about this match.
Gao Jun beat many men in open events. Juan winning is not a surprise.

With Gao the men could blame the pips. Liu Juan simply has the best serve, best receive, and best forehand in the country. And she apparently just resumed training in June after an 8-month break.

By tricks, I mean things not related to ball quality but more related to reading the game. She wouldn't be as devastating if she wasn't a lefty and a penholder. Her serve and third ball is strong but she doesn't do as well when the power is sufficiently high or the serve well returned and this is what none of her opponents could produce, more because they are playing her for the first time. The guy she beat is very good but he is not a power player. I would venture that if they played each other a few times, some things would start to shift.

That is all great that she took a game of Walter. But she did lose pretty easily to the Frenchie back in the day. I don't think she is better now than she was back then. He told me before playing her he thought he might lose but sneaky player that he is he found some weakness and just played a solid *control* game and beat her. So, Kanak honestly is the fav in my opinion. Also, looking at her record if Adar, Sharon and Li Bochao can beat her Kanak can as well. With all dur respect, just maybe you guys are reading too much into her chinese super league connection :)

The timing of the match matters. She has gone through different playing periods. You do realize that she spent some time having children and coaching before returning to play. You are looking at results from the earlier period when she returned.
Her game is not easy to get used to according to the people I have spoken to who have played her. I have seen someone playing a very similar game to her but at a slightly lower level give Zhang Chao trouble. I am just trying to say that losing one match to her is not a big deal. Even Lily played better against her after the first match.

Anyone noticed how composed Juan Liu was against Gal A. The few matches I’ve seen her play were so calm and relaxed.
Would love to see her play against Kanak.

Especially at 19:25, after service return error because of a wet ball, and was not considered a let. Think He did it on purpose? he only wiped his one hand before that point, and that was not his normal routine...

"Anyone noticed how composed Juan Liu was against Gal A"- saw the watch and the let incident - don't know the guy (only saw his name a few times) - does he have a bad reputation for his temperment / etiquette ?

My first time seeing him play. Glad she beat the snot out of the snot nose brat. I do recall seeing his brother, Sharon Alguetti, having an incident as well so apparently it runs in the family.

I've met the brothers before, though have not talked to Gal specifically. I have talked several times to Sharon and he could not have been nicer to me and even was willing to hit with me and play a game with me (I'm nowhere near his level, being roughly a 1650-1700 level player).

Odd that she was not given a let. According to the rules:
2.9.1 The rally shall be a let:
2.9.2.4 because the conditions of play are disturbed in a way which could affect the
outcome of the rally.
You'd think a wet ball would fall under this.

On the video captioning said the let was given. Scoreboard did not show this, but since she won next 2 points you can not tell if they really restarted at 9-8 (let given) or 9-9(let not given). Since Gal was yellow carded, I would assume the let was given on a point he thought he had won.

Even though the video captioning said a let was given, it appears that it was not actually given. When they played the next point after the controversy, the scoreboard showed 9-9 with Juan serving. If a let was allowed, then Gal would be serving again at 8-9.
Edit: Gal was frustrated by the situation regardless of whether or not he was given the point.

Of course you can. The serve changed.
This is pretty much classic Alguetti behavior, all of them including the father, not really a surprise at this point.

The scoreboard was incorrect several times during the match so I was not sure whether to believe it or the caption.
Were you at the match and saw what was called?
If the let was given, I kind of understand Gal's reaction. If the let was not given then it seems like a poor reaction.

It's fixed already, you can stop trolling.
July OpenA record 192 players, including six rated over 2600. All of Sunday's events were full. The total of prize money awarded at the Westchester Open since 2011 passed half a million dollars. The tournament had its first female champion — Juan Liu (rated 2617), who defeated Jiwei Xu (2701) (5,-7,7,7).

If a let was given, Gal would be serving again (since he was serving the point that had the wet ball incident) ..... do you agree? Juan served the next two points.

Everyone looking dazed and confused... LJ throws the ball to Gal so he can serve at 8-9, he slaps it back to her, and she gets ready to serve... At that point the umpire seems to call out a score of 9-8 while the scoreboard shows 9-9, and Gal protests or argues or whatever. My guess is that LJ simply accepted the 9-9 and focused on winning the next 2 points to send the kid home to cry.

that is a good explanation for the slap back (still bad manners) but still doesn't explain why the let was denied. I guess Liu didn't really wanted to argue since she was confident of taking care of him.

The video is edited and doesn't show the umpire's decision. But to me it seems like the umpire thought he had given a let and that the score was 9-8 (that's what I hear twice in the video). He must have forgotten that it was Gal's serve, although that was the root of the problem.
Do Westchester tournaments use someone to operate the scoreboard but not a scorekeeper/assistant referee near the table? And do they never play best of 7?

There is someone that does the scoring usually in Open matches but is not an assistant ref. And only best out of 5.

Also, quite frequently large TV display takes its sweet time to catch up to the score entered on an iPad. Saw it quite a few times in person - not sure if that's what happened in this match though.

If you've been in NJ/NY TT scene past 5-7 years you probably seen how they were raised. Nothing unusual about their behavior on court. Loud cheering, choing on nets/lets, erratic reactions is standard Alguetti behavior (this extends to the parents as well). I think small part of it is cultural and part "winning comes at all cost" attitude.
Off court they seem really nice though.

I saw those brothers play before. On court, they are totally different. Shouting and arguing ..... most those emotions happen when they are down in the game.
But I agree off court, they are very nice person.

Quite different cases. HT doesn't celebrate nets and edges, for one. And I don't think he makes the ball wet on purpose.

Agreed. Cho'ing to pump yourself up is completely different than slapping the ball in the direction of your opponent.

There are countless incidents of Alguettis directly disrespecting opponents and having questionable integrity. Not the case for Harimoto. Try again.

Guys, not comparing the different deeds done by them but the on / off court reversals of behaviour

I thought she was a US citizen? Why does it say China's? Shouldn't it be America's very own? |
It's fixed already, you can stop trolling.
July OpenA record 192 players, including six rated over 2600. All of Sunday's events were full. The total of prize money awarded at the Westchester Open since 2011 passed half a million dollars. The tournament had its first female champion — Juan Liu (rated 2617), who defeated Jiwei Xu (2701) (5,-7,7,7). |

Please provide link to video if you're going to make that claim. I could be wrong, but I don't recall him celebrating his opponent's missed serve.

The response will be some time tomorrow unless I have time tonight. BTW I didn't say missed serve, I said unforced errors, which includes errors not caused by a great shot by HT - if you insist on missed serve then I wouldn't bother to look

"unforced errors" is a problematic notion - you can't tell from the outside what caused an error and if the opponent has a reason to celebrate or not.

I'm not particular on the opponent. I specifically mentioned missed serve because I can't think of anything else other than nets, edges, and missed serves as unforced. If his opponent misjudges the spin or lack of spin, then I don't consider that unforced. Other pros cho on those points as well such as a push that goes into the net. Otherwise, you can simply say he cho'd on what you consider a not so great shot. The standard has to be pretty high if you're attempting to show that he's disrespecting his opponent. If he's doing garbage like what Gal did at Westchester, then I'll agree with you.

pongfu, please see above by amateur saying what is not worth celebrating over - which I agree with-which is contrary to your thinking of what is worth celebrating - then like I said against that kind of reasoning I won't be doing any kind of looking - a waste of time

I think you're misinterpreting what I'm saying. I'm in agreement that nets and edges are not worth celebrating .... and I would add missed serves.... those are unforced errors. I have no idea why you'd think that I think those are worth celebrating. You said he celebrated his opponents' unforced errors. I'm saying he doesn't. Anyway, not worth arguing over.

You did use service error as the only example of an unforced error in a previous post. Think we won't come to an agreement of what errors are worth celebrating. I still might give an example.
