Liang Jingkun vs Jeoung Youngsik | 2018 ITTF Swedish Open Highlights (Pre) 

Jeoung Youngsik has one of the great backhands. Because of his wrist snap, he can play quick and recover quick. And because of his height (for an East Asian), he has good reach. His weakness is really his forehand. He uses a short forearm stroke but his footwork is not good enough. So he has to meet the ball just perfectly to make his loop work. Liang Jingkun, on the other hand, is really a table tennis god this year. Nothing bends him out of shape. He is just as quick as Jeoung on the backhand, but with much more spin and power. He is physically amazing because he can move his weight around smoothly and with great economy. When he makes a full swing, the ball is simply gone, gone, gone. Liang can also serve so well, and his short game has improved. Jeoung put so many service returns in the bottom of the net. You need someone as good as Timo Boll to really give Liang a test.

2:38 Thor's hammer

SO MUCH UNBELIEVABLE RALLIES IN THAT MATCH !!!

Good, well done, Liang JingKun.

too much violence from LJK lol

LJK's FH is more consistent which is a good news. He used to win points with BH, and lose points with FH.

Two different leagues

Jeoung Youngsik was helpless in the second set

in germany we recently had a lot of rallies where tables have been moved and umpires didnt punish it. its stated in the rules that as long as the ball didnt bounce twice on the table or didnt hit an objective for the second time the player who moved the table loses the point. in this case you can clearly see at 8:12 how jingkun moved the table with his body before the ball hits the barrier in the end. even if its obvious that youngsik cant do anything to win the point any more the ball is actually still in play when the table got moved. huge mistake from the umpire. you can actually call it game changing. from youngsiks perspective he is down 1:2 in games and 13:14 while he could have game ball on his own serve if a correct decision was made. in my first sentence i was talking about mistakes being made in germans 2nd and 3rd division thinking this wouldnt happen all that much at big international tournaments. already on the second video from the swedish open i watch you get to see the exact same thing. it seems that umpires dont experience a proper education on rules which is a really concerning thing. on the other hand im disappointed that neither youngsik himself nor his coach realised what just happened. you would think that players who play the sport on the highest level would at least know the rules.

first
