Record against selected opponents

Mixed doubles results with Edi Subaktiar against World Superseries finalists, World Superseries Finals semifinalists, World Championships semifinalists, and Olympic quarterfinalists:[42]

gollark: I still don't really care very much if people go around testing... weird brain things... on others, as long as everyone involved agrees to it, licenses or not.
gollark: You can talk here and ping whoever you're replying to.
gollark: You mention near-infrared, which is apparently absorbed somewhat less than other wavelengths by skin and such, but based on my 30 second duckduckgo search it's still scattered and absorbed a decent amount by that and probably is blocked by the skull, which is where the brain is.
gollark: In any case, would most lasers *not* just be blocked by the skull and not interact with brain tissue anyway?
gollark: This is probably more of an issue for neuroscientists than... people with lasers.
