Fan Zhendong vs Koki Niwa | 2018 ITTF Austrian Open Highlights (1/4) 

I don't think that's what Koki wishes kkkkkkkkk

+Inyourface Because KN plays easily (like a boss) even if he lost. No tremor, there is not giving up. Like a man

It seems that KN plays just for fun, not for win:)

@@JamesLee-pk8oj In football, Messi also plays for fun :)) and we all know his status.

If Koki Niwa play an offensive game rather than being fancy, he can be really scary to his opponents. He is very skilled yet he does not utilize his skills.

"The only problem is that he lost again" -- LOL

I like Niwa, but sometimes he looks to lack energy. He plays like it didn't matter.

He has the Drunken Master style. Also he is a genious lol but he is surpassed by explosive-agresive style nowadays. I think if Waldner would play nowadays like he played before he would lose too.

Xu Xin is more creative

Xu Xin is more creative

Ok

360 no scope

Yogender Dagar he's really not very tall at all. So hardly a giant.

That's truee

Hopefully Not . ! there're too many serious players nowadays. It's much better to watch someone playing in an entertaining style

Shivam K. : haha.. but I think, he plays seriously. He celebrates his talented own style and we all enjoy this, doesn‘t we?

He was once 5th in the world! What are you talking about???

@@92SMIF Just like Xu Xin, he is blessed with talent, and also cursed with it. He can win without trying his absolute hardest, he is able to flow with the game and play without too much thought, just reacts and wins so he keeps doing it. Same with Xu Xin, he allows himself to be put in defensive positions away from the table, but because of his superior athletecism and ability to power the ball back from far back, he never has a problem even if he doesn't play the "best" way. Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Fan Zhendong are examples of players who maybe arent blessed with as much "talent" per se, they have carefully crafted playstyles and strokes that are designed to fit an extremely specific playstyle that can counter anything and create their own power. They can't just "go with the flow" so they have to mold their playstyle to fit with the trend, and thats why they are above and beyond the rest!

Koki Niwa=Nick Kyrgios its actually a little bit similar😂funny

Only that Nick is an asshole on the field and Koki is a humble respectful dude.

Yeah, good analogy.

Yes, I agree, but Koki Niwa has won a junior world champioship, which isn't so bad. I don't know much about Kyrgios though.

@@kristofbaumann8180 I just find their game styles kinda similar: an endless talent and too laidback to actually win championships(on top levels, at least).

For sure!!! I expect this point to make top 10 rallies of the year. The rally has placement, lobbing, and power at the end.

Blondu ' oh really i thought it was naruto's backhand

@@stuarthoppie9353 lol

Harimoto's parents are Chinese. Koki Niwa is too tipical Japanese . Wish Koki is more aggressive like him.

ミジンコ こう言う考えする奴がいるから、、、、もう言うのも疲れますね

Jealous lol

lol

Fan too strong

输了比赛，赢了观众的感觉吧。 各有各的特色啊

I think its his fall bad, last ditch effort when he is reaching out of position or desperate, he doesn't do it by choice. It is a specialty shot that he is comfortable with, and if he is out of position he will go for it. The difference is that Fan Zhendongs specialty is power no matter where the ball comes, a fast counter is his last ditch effort, otherwise he just takes control of the ralley and forces the opponent to risk a fast counter or a slow block, which he will take advantage of. A dominant style if anything

是的，非常有天赋和创造力的球员，从成绩看有点可惜。

FZD is playing against a leftie. Reverse pendulum from a right hand player will always landing the backhand side of the left hand player. Flipping banana shots are much easier on the backhand. Since Niwa is crafty. FZD knew better. That's the right strategy.

@@canicetang8837 Makes sense. Thanks.
