What a game..! Timo exhibited so much tactical wisdom. He was a mastermind of the play. Ma Long got totally suppressed, but still the winner because he is Ma Long. Unbelievably interesting game. Thank you for uploading.
He has beaten a lot of Chinese top player , especially where he was the World No 1 . Now he is a little older like Ma lin or Wang hao . But he still plays on Top Level
I wish they'd go back to 38mm as the standard ball size. The 40mm ball was introduced just to slow the game down for spectators, which was a lousy reason.
While it does make the ball easier to spot (bigger), it doesn't slow the game that much. It creates longer rallies, which is good for the game. It's very ugly and difficult to watch a game decided mostly on serve and return.
excellent match has been one of the best I've seen in my life, with clean oilcloth clean technique, and now every cheater crumb rubber that goes on sale is not me just the existence of granular rubbers
Excelente partido ha sido uno de los mejores que he visto en toda mi vida, con hules limpios y tecnica limpia, ya que ahora cada hule granulado tramposo que sale a la venta no se me hace justo la existencia de los hules granulados
I enjoy the match very much but quite annoyed with the commentators who talked (loudly may I add) while the game was played. Love Ma long's topspin on forehand or backhand.
They do it to dry their hands. As the match goes on the racket handle gets sweaty and it's always preferable to have a dry racket to control shots better.
I personally think Ma long played a lot better than Timo, because pretty much all of Timo's points was because of Ma Long fails. :) (Remember my opinion :) )
@hello520111 It's not luck man. The Chinese training regimen is unmatched internationally. They ensure their athletes are well prepared for each specific match by providing training partners that mimic the opponent.
if they , find ,the truth,or balance between new or old, or good streamline,or politics or media bull and REST economy, it will be ,expecting, better, natural motions i persist. It will be okay.see you in light conversations.
