Mens World Cup Table Tennis: Wong Chun Ting Vs. Mattias Falck

by Jack Bowie November 13, 2020

The beast from Hong Kong with a glorious smile enters this match up as the slight favorite. At the wise and slightly older age of 29, this man has been a threat since his first world title in 2012. Wong has been playing table tennis since he was 6 years old and has since won 3 doubles titles, and a bronze medal in singles at the mens world cup. With a current world ranking of 21^st this guy clearly knows his way around a ping pong paddle. Although a fairly innocent and kind looking man, this guy is relentless with his power and precision, often making competitors look like they have just picked up a paddle for the first time. His dominant right-hand and a pen hold grip make him an attack style player who will not let up until his opponent is crying to their mother on the sidelines. I am ready for my first win and I KNOW that Wong Chun Ting will get it done.

Player Profile: Mattias Falck

The Swedish Viking, isn't worried one bit that he is considered the underdog as he looks to destroy Wong Chin Ting Once again. Although he has yet to win Gold in the World Champion, he is not someone you want to pick on in the schoolyard. Mattias Falck, formerly known as Mattias Karlsson, started playing table tennis competitively in Sweden at the age of seven. Mattias has been tearing up the tables ever since, being the only Swedish player to win 3 gold medals in the Swedish Junior Championships. Mattias made his international breakthrough in 2008, winning 3 World Junior Circuit tournaments. Mattias has 2 World champion Medals, Bronze for teams in 2018 and Silver in last year's World Championship tournament and is looking to take the Gold this year. Mattias is so dirty with a racket… being a dominantly right offensive player who uses pimples out on forehand and backside rubber on his backhand. You take one look at Mattias, and he reminds you of your parent's accountant with a beautifully kind smile. Still, once he steps in the arena, the man won't hesitate to kill a man with his speed and 6'3 build. I have no doubt that my boy Falck will help me go 3-0 for Sports Battle Bros and wipe the floor with Jbows stupid picks.

Losers Challenge:

This week is going to be another doozy for the loser with the punishment being both uncomfortable and humiliating. We have decided that because of the aerodynamics involved in table tennis that the loser must make himself more aerodynamic through waxing. The loser will have both armpits completely waxed for all to see, a punishment that will last months before hairs will return. On the bright side, maybe the loser will be able to run a little faster with that weight reduction, you never know!
