FULL MATCH | LIN Gaoyuan vs MA Long | MS QF |  

Absolutely beautiful 🎉 Both played incredibly well. Some of Lin’s shots are so beautiful to watch! He deserved this win 👍🏼

Ma Long might be already looking ahead to next month's WTTC at this point. No guarantee he will win it but it'd be truly historic if he does.

Lin has always been an extremely technically strong player and now he has improved his motivation and mental strength in the past couple of years too. His use of the timeout early in the fifth game was very smart. He has probably the most powerful cross court backhand drive of any lefty pro player. Ma Long used his backhand quite a lot this match and it seems like he's getting better at the more modern backhand centric rallies that make up a lot of the modern pro meta now. You could also see that he was trying out a lot of hook/shovel service. Maybe he is trying to emulate WCQ in this regard.

I've watched Ma play for so many years I can somehow tell he doesn't really put in all his efforts this time. I won't say he intentionally let Lin win, but I don't think he's really eager to win this one. He didn't use his best tactics, and he tried quite some casual serves---which he won't do in a match he's eager to win.

Lin is very good today,. Ma long is good but in this game it was Lin day. It happen in tennis when everything works for you. Congratulations Lin

Beautiful match, it didn't work for Ma Long! Flawless Lin Gaoyuan

It seems is only Ma Long that come his fans. With rhythmical chant ' Ma Long MaLong Ma Long' Its Cool anyway

Wtf, Ma long was nerfed , these points were eazy for himself

Who else noticed that lin tried to finish his shots on ma long's forehand corner?

Don't think Ma Long unfortunately loose but purposely concede his compatriot opponent the victory , giving him one more chance to prove himself he still can go further when he feels confidennt....think he often does that to encourage young compatriot players .

是都講好發完球後, 批長完開始比相持嗎?

Can someone please explain why the players often rub their palms against the table area close to the net

LGY is on fire.

LIN сильнейший.

马龙是给后辈机会进四强

Finally i see LGY determinated to beat ML seriously.

I feel like I'm almost stronger than Malong

Как задолбали уже с этим боковым показом. Это невозможно смотреть.

Матч очень похож на "гарантированный проигрыш Ма Лонга". Такой же матч был в Загребе 2007 (матч Wang Liqin - Ma Lin). Некрасиво!!!

😮

:D

马龙让球明显

Malong cũng dần yếu thế khi gặp những tay vợt trẻ mới nổi, ghét nhất bọn fan cua ML ngồi ngoài hét như đúng rồi.

Congrats to lin. 😢sad for ma long though

好矛盾啊，真开心林高远能赢，但我真的不希望马龙输球😢

انا احزن عندما يخسر مالونج ولكن السن يفرق وسعيد بمالونج الجديد الصغير

Hahahah 😂 ma long old noob rip

The commentators should provide their commentaries in between points and NOT during play. We want to hear the sound of bats on ball and ball of the table and grunt of the players. It’s also a respect to the players that you are interested enough to watching the games and not rattling away during play.

Les autres chinois ne craignent pas Ma Long car ils le connaissent par coeur, contrairement aux européens, pour qui les deux joueurs les plus injouables sont Ma Long et Wang Chuqin.

马龙未尽全力

how many matches do they play in a day?

👌👌👍👍👏👏
