Zheng Jiaqi (郑佳琪) China/USA
Style: shortpips FH, inverted BH, penholder twiddler
Blade: Butterfly Amultart
FH: Butterfly Flarestorm 1.8mm
BH/RPB: Butterfly Bryce



Zheng is 21 years old. Her US rating is 2580, currently number 4. Zheng is originally from Shan Dong Province, China. She was later accepted into Beijing Table Tennis Team. Three years ago, she went to the States. Currently, she's a first year student in Northwestern Polytechnic University's MBA program.

She serves with inverted and twiddles to SP, without twiddling during the play. On her BH side, she RPBs only, without penholder's traditionaly pushes.

In the just closed China Open, she upset Tamara Boros from Crotia in Round 64 and Jiang Huajun from Hong Kong in Round 32. Here're the video links to the two matches.

I played her in the open singles event in the pacrim open.

She was using a Timo Boll T5000 chinese penhold blade with Dolphin or Penguin with a purple sponge and Whale 3.

She allowed me to get about 5 points per set, only about 2 of all these (15) points I got myself. One was from a service and one was form an actually good smash (She mostly backed off and lobbed)

Yes Reb she could have skunked me for all I was worth (Not much then, and even now )

If she was coaching in portland somewhere I would definitely sign up...She knows how to be serious and when to be funny too. When she was playing me she was smiling all the time. Almost as cute as Fukuhara

I read one of Peter's posts on MyTT and it said that she and another one of her fellow players won most of the events at the PacRim. Thats a ****load of money. You could buy TENERGY for a year with it!

Tenergy for a year? That's one sheet, maybe 2 So she only won $100-200?

It was nice of her to let you have so many points. Well done on taking 2 yourself. She sounds like a lovely girl and obviously great TT player! And maybe SHE could get YOU focussed and motivated!
