World Cup: Zhang Jike-Jun Mizutani 

+type991 zjk lost all his fight in 2015. he lost to so many foreigners, idk what happened to his mental state, he looks like he doesnt try anymore.

Jason Yang he had too much injuries

Mental toughness my ass!Japanese team was nowhere near the Chinese in terms of technical skills or athletic ability. Zhang was a two wing looper,he had a massive advantage over Mizu.One should keep perspective of the situation. Zhang has always been a very slow starter but he got away considering the level of competition he faced for the short period of his physical prime.And he lost to Boll in the Olympics team events in 2012 whilst Boll has always been irrelevant in the big events folding like a cheap tent. Ηis narrow matches against Samsonov were quite telling. Samsonov against the Chinese had been irrelevant since the early 00's,last time he beat Ma Lin was in 2000 and his h2h against Wang Hao was truly horrible Ι think he beat him only once out of 17 attempts.Zhang's generation wasn't even that remarkable.

@@dickn.ormous1064 Samsonov vs Zhang Jike? I know of one game which Samsonov won and that was Asia vs Europe competition

@@dickn.ormous1064 lol that’s why mizutani almost won this match ? ZJK came back from 0-3 to 4-3 of course it’s mental toughness. Ma long is the GOAT

he wasn’t olympic champion when this epic match happened btw

That's important if you want to be the best of all time. Since after 2013 Ma Long has had nerves of steel and that's why he won 3 consecutive WTTCs. Trust me, Ma Long will be remembered as the best of all time and i knew that since 2012.

Genya Arikado waldner is a tiny bit better

@@ibrahimabdi5602 What if Ma Long wins his second olympics next year then? Double Grand Slam.

Genya Arikado he doesnt have to win his second Olympics to be the best ever but if he does, he will undoubtedly be the best ever, I think he already is

Genya Arikado genya to be fair he hasn't had a big challenge except the 2017 wttc championship against fan Zheng

His backhand in 2010 was so good for this time and his age

And xu xin

@@subswithnovideo-xu6rk Not even Xu Xin can beat him in that state

Lmfao wang hao beat him next match immediately

@Daniel Coto :This guy used to own ma long from 2008 Olympics till he lost to long in 2012.At his best, he had no competition. The only difference is, Ma long has a better game management strategy than him. Ma long plays so safe in order to win, Zheng just plays without safety.

Any word is not enough to describe the Chinese top 4

What? The final set was his worst, and that speaks. That's why the score was ratcheted to 10 serving 2. Match point was practically automatic. Irony, and finally Mizutani tried to use the same crazy style, which should never work. U can see his face at the end started off leading 3-0, at the end ...

Actually she can play

same thing happened with Kenta Matsudaira....

そのサーブはなぜポイントを落としたんですか。

@@Tom-ku5pe ボディハイドサーブかな？

+Đỗ TrọngMinh have u seen him play against ma long in the chinese trials, he's even better then before

이동찬 that was Ma Long

***** I have to disagree with you. Jun just missed at least 2 match points. That was lucky for Zhang.

Hehe

That's not necessarily true. If your back is facing one of the umpires they just will not be able to see the serve. The umpire facing the player will have to make the call.

I think so too

Why does he need more spin for, isn't smash is the best against the lob?

tu est qui toi pour dire ca en plus je suis sur que tu ne sait pas joue

Indeed, it is softer. Most chinese players use very hard & tacky rubbers on the forehand which do generate a huge amount of spin, but have less to none catapult effect. Therefore the player has to create all the force himself by using his legs, waist rotation & his arm. They use european-style rubbers on the backhand, which have a high catapult effect, because you can't swing into the backhand the way you can on the forehand. Those rubbers provide more speed, but less spin than the tacky chinese rubbers. Due to their softness the european rubbers provide more control & their catapult effect makes it easier to generate power while striking the ball. Therefore ZJK uses the red (european-style) rubber to play smashes, as it would become extremely tiring very quickly when using the hard & tacky rubber.

I think because of this rule: The ball must not be hidden from the receiver at any time during the service.

Iwan Nadapdap I think Mizutani lost that point because the ball contacted his shirt while serving.

after watching replay, 7:01, I would say hidden serve is most likely the cause. the ball did not contact shirt at all

( i not speak english xD,) Normalmente solo se puede sacar de una esquina, y lo que jun, fue pasarse mas de la esquina... Por ejemplo: si nosotros servimos dentro de la mesa es falta. ¡

because the contact on the ball wasn't behind the base line? It looks as if the contact is at the side of the table
