FULL MATCH | Patrick FRANZISKA vs FAN Zhendong | MS R16 |  

Let's see if he can take out Felix!

@@ouechmaggle992 Everything ahead of him.

this is bc Rosskopf has a big kopf

yeah rosskopf, what a fool

Totally agree

​@@maybealobbstirOvtcharov is behind DQ in the ranking

@@allopriem my bad your right

Ich sehe sogar im Moment eher Dang draußen. Hat in letzter Zeit echt kaum Leistung gebracht.

ich hätte Qiu und Franz safe mitgenommen und geguckt ob Ovtcharov oder Boll als 3. Mann. Dang hat gerade Calderano 3:1 geschlagen. Franz spielt sein einer Weile jetzt schon richtig gut, schlägt auch hier wieder FZD, was einem Boll bspw. noch nie gelungen ist. (kein hate gegen Boll, aber trotzdem)

@@RambO5018 Ja hab ich auch gerade gesehen. Dang hat halt die letzten Turniere und BL nicht so performed. Kann man aber natürlich für argumentieren. Dima muss man aber eigentlich auch mitnehmen, weil er ist halt Mr. Olympia und wenn man nach der Form geht halt Franz. Man will aber Boll halt sein letztes Olympia geben was ich auch verstehen kann.

Ich gebe dir voll recht, ich schätze es hat damit zu tun das Dima momentan der Spieler mit den meisten Olympiamedaillen ist under wenn er nicht bei Paris antritt würde er (bzw. Deutschland)diesen Titel an Ma Long (China) verlieren. Ein Jammer für Franz.

Nennen wir das Kind beim Namen. Mit dieser Entscheidung haben einige richtig Mist gebaut. Franziska gehört 100% nach Olympia. Da sollte es überhaupt keine Diskussion geben. Seine Leistungen sprachen für sich.

WCQ will win anyway I think

Mmmmmmm

afther that franziska lost the game and Adam Bobrow was very happy

channeling Tim Allen, does not pay off.

Both of them made technical and tactical mistakes, but compared to us, these are in such a distant field of knowledge that we can look at in amazement and with a happy heart.

The risk of China losing is definitely non zero. Fan has been quite unstable recently and relying on just one person - however strong that one person is - is not great for them. Oh well.

パリは中国から2人しか出ないので決勝が非中国人同士になることだってあり得る

I wouldn't pass too much heed on these tournaments in the run up to Olympics, Chinese team are likely laser focused on Paris and using these tournaments as experimentation / practice before the real thing in Paris. But Fan will need to improve for Olympics he is on a dip in form past while. If he doesn't improve WCQ is almost a shoe in for the gold.

Franziska is not nominated. It's Ovtcharov instead.

@@BastianNewell Fransizka has beaten FZD twice ! his non selection makes no sence at all ! I suppose it must be a friendship thing between Dima and Roskoff.

If I'm Liu, I'd sack Ma and Wang straight away.

What dramas ?

@@VL-pw7qf woman team

​​​@@yangyang1412 what are you on about idiot, Ma Long and other Chinese men's players got eliminated as well, in fact it's worse in the men's side stop talking rubbish next time

@@yangyang1412care to elaborate? Genuinely curious

Ma longs in World Cup was bigger, but yes.

@@AndrewUdalnot WTT but ITTF

@@vv_vigo1239 yes fair enough. That might be true yes

@@AndrewUdal World Cup was from ITTF

Die letzen Spiele schon. FAN hat nicht die Form die man von ihm kennt. Er ist ausrechenbar geworden, sodass es für die Gegner einfach ist, gegen diesen Chinesen zu gewinnen.

Patrick is great but he's not world class by any means. Fan used to be world class when he's slimmer. But right now, the heavier Fan is downgrading to Liang JK version.

@@user-ih4vy8ty5h They ARE world class, OMG it's real you don't know table tennis

@@RicardoGarcia-wk8ds Stop lying TROLL. Patrick never won the Olympics before. Fan has been downhill ever since he's getting heavier. Look at his shape 6 years ago, hate troll.

​@@user-ih4vy8ty5h Franziska not world class!!?? Are you having a laugh!??

@@nigelhart3897 Did he win any Olympics medal?

yeah, totally agree. He has been in absolute top shape recently. Leave Boll or Ovtcharov out of it. I still like both of them, but you gotta take Franz to Olympics in this shape.

Все кому надо посмотрели, а арабы просто балбесы))

Ma Long isn't more consistent than Fan. The prime ML was more SKILFUL and fitter than Fan.

Ma Long was destroyed 3-0 in round of 32. Ma Long also was beaten more decisively by Patrick Franzesca. Fan. Zhendong always fights till the end. Ma Long simply becomes depressed when he is losing.

@@Rizwan-kz5zw I think fans here don't realize the current Ma long is no longer the 2008 Ma Long or the 2016 Ma Long. Guys like Fan or Fran they stand no chance against the 2008 or 2016 Ma Long.

​@@Rizwan-kz5zw no one can be calm if that person knows everything is closed for him.

@@Rizwan-kz5zwI think he gave up coz no single

His weakness is central and not sides. Fan uses the wrong method here either due to low IQ or just on purpose.

Experimenting and practicing before Paris Olympics is my guess. This tournament is irrelevant to them v Paris.

@@mryan4452 I heard they also have ranks and lose additional point when losing against non-chinese player. Which adds pressure as this rank will be used for Olympics

@@alex_tahiti ye that's my understanding too, but my guess is they are given free reign to experiment and practice in tournaments in run up to Olympics. The ranking would have been based on the last one to two years, not so relevant this close to Paris. Trust me Chinese team couldn't give a hoot about Saudi smash. It's utterly irrelevant to them. Their funding from Chinese government over the next four years (and their broader prestige) is 100% based on bringing gold medals back to China in Olympics. They are laser focused on the Olympics right now.

Simply put, the Chinese are playing literally in every single competition regardless of the importance. Too many games, will eventually tell on any player...

no if patrick down 0-2 and fan pull out with injury, that is luck this is a well deserved and clean win.

@@yangyang1412 talking about the fifth set, especially saving the match point with a lucky passive net block

Fan lost this because he uses the incorrect strategy. He should be attacking centrally, not sideways. But as usual, the Chinese team always do this before the Olympics.

Timeout was already used before that deciding point.

@gongtau master, thanks for letting me know. I didn’t know the timeout(s) was called before the final round. I’ll have to rewatch the game.

At this point, it's either he's a lousy coach or he's simply playing it dumb. He was never a good player anyway.

​@@user-ih4vy8ty5h Liu Gouliang: I am Coach God Wang Hao , Ma Lin : I pray God

@@user-ih4vy8ty5h He was never a good player hahaha you let us know you don't know anything about table tennis

@@yangyang1412 Assuming if you lose the match but is rewarded millions for a loss, would you take it? Sports is a very short career.

@@RicardoGarcia-wk8ds Stupid hate troll. Name one singles olympic Gold he won. Oh you can't? During his era with ML and ZJK, Wang Hao was always a level lower. Coaches like Kong Ling Hui are 100 times better than WH. The more you post, the more mierda you sound.

why? 3rd after Dima and Qiu?

The king is on fire in Saudi smash.!

He wont play singles and even for the team events he is just the reserve player. Such a shame…

Маловероятно, скорее всего Ван заберёт.

​@@d.em.8484he is playing singles

Who has the money and time to fly out to KSA for a week and watch pro table tennis? Not that many people.
