Why Zhou is so confident? I mean from the facial expression, chop block, forehand chop, even switch to the left hand. This guy's quality reminds me of Zhang Jike!!! He doesn't give people any childish impact like Wang Chuxin or Lin Gaoyuan, a real man with dark skin. Keep fighting, DRAGON SLAYER!!!
@ Exactly! I forgot to mention he even dare to toss high ball to Fan! Fan has the most powerful forehand! Last person can do this in my memory would be Xuxin.
I feel the same, he seems to know he can beat anyone, where is his confidence from? I don't think just because he has nothing to lose, because someone has nothing to lose will be nervous when he is in the final stage. Zhou is just confident, maybe a new star is coming.
give him more chance, he will hand the foreign player easy, because his mentality is strong, he will struggle sometimes, but most of his time, he will dominate others.
ZQH has some special qualities. He's not all brute force. There is power, finesse, and creativity. Such great touch. It's quite refreshing to watch. I haven't felt that way watching any of the top players in a while.
What an insane player Zhou is. He clearly overwhelmed, outpowered, and outsmart Fan. What a confidence, what a calm and smiling posture. Very impressive. He deserved this victory.
yes, but don't forget in Marvellous 12 2020, Zhou qihao beat xuxin and malong, just lost to FZD at last. So actually he is keep improving, compare last year with this time, Zhou qihao improve a lot with his mental stabilization, he is mature.
He's also the one who doesn't take a defensive stance against Liang JingKun. He went head on. Both ML and FZD play a defensive game against LJK to wear him out first.
Exactly what I immediately thought of at the start of the 5th set. Just as the world thinks Ma Long is the only perfectly well-balanced player from China. Zhou is the next generation of the "perfect" player.
@@KYChen617 I think Fan is still the better player among Ma Long and Zhou Qihao. Zhou is obviously very good and he has greater potential than Wang Chuqin but it is a bit premature to place him above Fan as of now. I think Zhou surprised Fan with many power winners. Both Fan and Ma Long weren't used to being over-powered. The next time Zhou faces Fan would be a good indication how good Zhou can be. At the same time, Zhou wins over an aging Dragon, Ma Long, again shouldn't carry too much weight but if he loses to Ma Long, then Zhou's mental toughness will come into question. Overall, Chinese TT is such envy to the world. A Dragon, Ma Long is so bad that he dominated the world for over 10 years. Then a younger Fan Zhendong, so skillful and powerful therefore almost no other than a few Chinese National players can occasionally and potentially defeat him. As if this is not tough enough for non-Chinese players to overcome, we are witnessing a little-known Zhou Qihao overpowering both Ma Long and Fan Zhendong. This got to be a nightmare to many national TT coaches around the world.
@@benthekeeshond545 yes I totally agree it’s premature and Zhou definitely has a long way to go. Still it’s really exciting to see such young talent and potential.
@@benthekeeshond545 Fan is definitely the better of the 3, but this is not the first time he's faced Fan the last time they played he got two games. Fan is still more consistent and Qihao is more powerful and more switch ups which is what Fan and Ma hate about Koki Niwa's game.
ZQH has a great mix of various deadly skills, such as Long's chop block, heavy underspin slice, blasting backhand smash, fast transition between FH and BH, and great defence skill. His style is very natural, unlike Ma Long's style which is very formulated. Hope to see him emerge into the top 5 and play more on international stage.
Glad to see Zhou win! he deserve it! His overall techniques have matched or even exceeded Fan Zhendong and Ma Long's level, his strong backhand, backhand loop chop, left hand play are so amazing. This is a player of future if no politics hinders him to move forward.
@@johnkim7056 To be honest, I have never seen Zhou Qihao played against international TT players. Maybe he did but I sure missed some great events. However, what we witnessed from Zhou's last 2 matches, I just can't see any non-Chinese TT players can compete against him. Forget about winning, I think most of them will be blown away. Zhou has the power and footwork of Fan Zhendong and the consistency of the Great Ma Long. Zhou won this match against Fan because he played more consistently than Fan did.
@@nishanbhattarai007 That is not always true. Harry Zhang has his legitimate concerns. Actually, personal preference and even corruption occurred within the Chinese TT system more than we knew. I just looked up Zhou's background and he is not playing at the international level because the national coaches don't really like him. Be assured Zhou's case is not an exceptional event. Throughout the long successful history of Chinese TT, they shelved many potentially great players due to personal reasons. I have friends who were associated with the former Great World Champions, Guo Yue Hua and Jiang Jia Liang. Between the mid-1980s to 2000, the Chinese national coaches selected players for obvious personal reasons. Jiang, being a loyal son to the Chinese TT system, didn't publicly utter his disapproval but he couldn't hide his facial frustration over a few players dismissed from joining the Chinese National Team. I heard the same thing from friends of Guo Yue Hua. By the way, both Guo and Jiang retired and were not involved with the Chinese national TT team.
@@benthekeeshond545 He lost lasy year in most tournaments before the main draw against 50-100 ITTF ranking opponants. Darko Jorgic, Maharu and Kanak. While yes they are all skilled they are not acceptable level to loose at repeatedly. These were all 2020 games
I'm agree that he deserves a chance for Olympic. But Ma n FZD has vast experience and also the mindset in difficult situations. Even Wang chuqin had defeated Ma but they can't let him paly Olympics.
Lucas Lima, No! Zhou Qihao has great potentials but to replace either the Great Ma Long or Fan Zhendong will require many more victories from international TT tournaments to justify any changes. Besides, both Ma Long and Fan Zhendong long demonstrated that either one of them can take over any TT competition.
Wow! I hope that victory works as an encouragement for ZQH's carrer and he keeps improving. It's proven that LJK and LGY can't surpass ML and FZD. ZQH seems to have greater potencial. Congrats to him!
Well deserved victory, Zhou Qihao's forehand is one of the best in the world (placement in relation to the ball, spin, power, footwork...) look at this 11:42 , and his backhand is just as amazing ( 9:26 ), he can be the new Zhang Jike ! Zhou can be redoubtable for the Tokyo Olympics
Zhou qihao beat malong and xuxin last year, he beat malong and Fan Zhendong this time, keep going Zhou qihao, keep shining in the sky. by the way, during the interview after he win the gold medal, Zhou qihao said he played 120%, he didn't expect to play so well.
He need more international exposure. And only by performing well inside China, he will be given more opportunities in intentional tournaments. I believe he got the qualities to make it to the top.
Zhou is way better than he was 2 years ago. I noticed him in 2019 when he lost to Xu Xin but it was impressive how he played and his strong mentality. This game reminded me how ZJK went to the top through this same game.
wow..zho qui hao..i a great player.his bachand is so deadly.chopblock amaze me.his movement also very quick.like a lighning thunder..hope he evolvde and become a world champion someday..and he smiling..
@ I was gonna say Otherwise, But, I think you got some heavy truth to your statement there.. it's quite different Playing/Adapting to foreign/Unfamiliar players.
Ma Long actually is Olympic Champion, World Champion, Grand Finals Champion, World Cup Runner UP, Number 3 of the world, Captain of Chinese Team and The Greatest Of All Time! Ma 22:11 Xu, Ma 14:5 Fan, Ma 12:6 Jike, Ma 11:4 Ma Lin, Ma 7:3 Liqin, Ma 16:5 Boll, Ma 18:0 Ovcharov, Ma 17:0 Mizutani, Ma 9:0 Schlager. Cry Waldner, Cry Jike, Cry Zhendong!
@@rogernguyen1273 I only ask to include Ma long's head-to-head statistic with him. It doesn't look so good for Ma Long. Speaking of Wang Hao, I agree, if only he could win all of his finals - he really would be 3 times Olympic and 3 times World Champion.
@@denzel7089 Wang Hao was a great stone to Ma Long all your career. I dint put him, but he leads by 12:11 against Ma. But in all games waht they have played, includind chinese tournaments, Ma Long leads by 30:27 against Wang Hao. Important to say that Ma Long won Wang more time than Jike won on ITTF tournaments. 11 wins against Hao, Jike won Hao 9 time.
Would be good for European TT! he lost last year to 4 opponants from EU and Japan who are below WR50. He is a China Killer but very poor against european opponants. If ML or FZD looses in one tournament to Darko Jorgic and then the very next Kanak Jha its not a good look. We discredit LGY for loosing to WR 5-20 players from Europe but beating chinese, ZQH is just LGY on steroids! BEautiful to watch in CTTSL though
Zhou should be selected to play individual for China in the Olympics. That guy has a strong counterattack and fantastic reflex. He is a future number 1
@@tjhindjinkkhiam3548 Vs chinese yes, but look at last year loosing both to Darko Jorgic and Kanak Jha in only a couple of months is not acceptable for CNT A. They dont want the best player, they want a player who will beat all forigen players 100% of the time to claim titles.
I don't know if even the Olympic final will be as entertaining as this match! Sets 5 & 6 had me going crazy, great match to analyse and learn from two amazing players. Chop block count also exceeded 3, which honestly goes even beyond what Koki Niwa does nowadays. Not to mention the amazing footwork, far and close to the table with a lot of power. Does anyone see him as a mixture of XuXin (far from the table) and power and placement from FZD?
Zhou Qihao got excellent forehand and good backhand. His has flair too in that he chop block, chop, lob at crucial points. Good to have successor to ML and XX. Cause others such as LJK, WCQ, LGY are definitely not on the same league.
Parabéns ao Zhou Qihao pela conquista merecida. Ele tem se mostrado um jogador dotado de um arsenal de habilidades que dificultam a vida dos seus adversários.
: I am as much in awe and disbelief as i have liked zhou's play.. Man. Defeating in-form fzd 4-2 is some next level badass stuff.... 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Take a bow, Qihao👍 This is certainly by far the biggest upset i have seen in an internal Chinese tournament.... Common. Who does this.! He defeats ma and fan both.. 🔥🔥🔥
@@samuelpardana yea but that tournament did not have the three monsters (ma fan xu). It had all the upcoming generation players. Had any one of the monsters been there, they would have surely wacked hou yingchao.. Did not see how ma thrashed hou in the group stage?
Zhou qihao never gets tensed when he plays away from the table. In fact, he seems to be at his best going for “joo se hyuk” style crazy chop messing up opponent’s rally rhythm and then goes for the kill. These points were his critical advantage on demoralizing the best of the best, including Malong and Fzd.
It might be rare players to hollow out the weekness of Fan Z.D and one of them is Zhou Qihao. His calm, confident, perfect body, smart strategy, spirit as warrior and so on help him become ecstasy. He knows that the right corner and the middles pushing Fan playing more forehand are the key to overcome.Transfering from forehand to backhand is really weaker than the opposite for Fan. High risk , high return and some luck created the victory of Zhou. Congrats !
Уникальная физическая форма! Очевидно что на пике. Но без многолетнего опыта вряд-ли удастся к топовым турнирам ее выводить на пик. Ма и Фан останутся лидерами ещё долго, в силу опыта будут стабильнее
zhou won't be in the team, Xu Xin will. This trial will not affect the candidates for the Olympic games, but rather a warm-up for the already-selected players. Also the third candidate in the team will be responsible for doubles, and Zhou can't do that.
Not surprised at all. Zhou have been beaten top chinese player lately. In this tournament beats LJK, ML, and now FZD. In the other hand, check that those are Right Handed Players, but always have problems with XX and WCQ (Left Handed)....so, is almost sure that Liu Guoliang is going to singles with ML and FZD.
I don’t know why the camera is so far from the table. The panoramic view of the playing field is useless when players play most of the time close to the table. Next time do it closer
everyone's talking about zqh getting a spot in WTTC . No doubt he has been in gr8 shape and playing some fearless table tennis .But he needs to perform well against non-chinese players on a regular basis . That factor and experience make ma long , fan zhendong and xu xin kind of players to be prefered choice for big tourneys and beleive me that's thr right way to go about it. But surely i would like to see ZQH rise and shine as he is a supreme fit young talent without no such obvious weakness
Am i the only one who thinks that zhou qihao has different style of play compare to other chinese players? He seems to be having both hard style of chinese and soft style of the european really..its like he has his own pace on when to play slow and playing hard..im talking in terms of rally and placement..kind of a bit different really..since that marvelous 12 tournament i saw him like the only one who has different style of playing like that..but i might be wrong though..haha
What a game! I wish FZD can win the gold medal, but I have to admit that Zhou Qihao played very well. He used chop block, target FZD's body, and was very polyvalent in general. But he also won 1 important lucky point at the end set #4. Otherwise, the end result might be different or we would be able to watch a longer game.
China has a good shift growing! But I am sure that experience is important at the Olympics, so I make a prediction that Malong and Fan Zhentong will be in the final in Japan!
Why Zhou is so confident? I mean from the facial expression, chop block, forehand chop, even switch to the left hand. This guy's quality reminds me of Zhang Jike!!! He doesn't give people any
childish impact like Wang Chuxin or Lin Gaoyuan, a real man with dark skin. Keep fighting, DRAGON SLAYER!!!

Zhou Qihao has become the ONLY player in HISTORY, beating Liang JK, Ma Long and Fan ZD in one tournament.
Once and for all 😂
When he beat Liang and Ma Long, I thought he was just lucky. Now I'm realizing that he is a top player and a serious contender for China's A team.

It might be rare players to hollow out the weekness of Fan Z.D and one of them is Zhou Qihao. His calm, confident, perfect body, smart strategy, spirit as warrior and so on help him become ecstasy. He knows that the right corner and the middles pushing Fan playing more forehand are the key to overcome.Transfering from forehand to backhand is really weaker than the opposite for Fan. High risk , high return and some luck created the victory of Zhou. Congrats !
Уникальная физическая форма! Очевидно что на пике. Но без многолетнего опыта вряд-ли удастся к топовым турнирам ее выводить на пик. Ма и Фан останутся лидерами ещё долго, в силу опыта будут стабильнее
Zhou Qihao physical monster... wow...! crazy!
Ma Long and FZD must be choosen to Olympic Games Tokyo! Zhou Qihao for Team.
Xu Xin, Liang Jingkun?
zhou won't be in the team, Xu Xin will. This trial will not affect the candidates for the Olympic games, but rather a warm-up for the already-selected players. Also the third candidate in the team will be responsible for doubles, and Zhou can't do that.
@@hys7620 because chinese team is unfair to the players
@@zerotalent191 Qihao won Jingkun, Long and Zhendong, he deserves a place in Olympic Games!!!
@@zerotalent191 Xu in very very bad shape!
Zhou Reminds me the backhand of zhang jiko, simply beautiful 💜💜💜
Not surprised at all. Zhou have been beaten top chinese player lately. In this tournament beats LJK, ML, and now FZD. In the other hand, check that those are Right Handed Players, but always have problems with XX and WCQ (Left Handed)....so, is almost sure that Liu Guoliang is going to singles with ML and FZD.
Zhou Qihau the new alien 👍👍👍
Zhou Qihao just beat the whole China olympic team
I don’t know why the camera is so far from the table. The panoramic view of the playing field is useless when players play most of the time close to the table. Next time do it closer
어마무시하네요..후덜덜..얘네들은 어느 누구하나 무시할수 없는..후덜덜~~
Chinese cant stop producing top players. well done.
周啟豪體能真好，樊振東第六局體能下降了
Rise of a Legend❤️
everyone's talking about zqh getting a spot in WTTC . No doubt he has been in gr8 shape and playing some fearless table tennis .But he needs to perform well against non-chinese players on a regular basis . That factor and experience make ma long , fan zhendong and xu xin kind of players to be prefered choice for big tourneys and beleive me that's thr right way to go about it. But surely i would like to see ZQH rise and shine as he is a supreme fit young talent without no such obvious weakness
what the f.....killer match. both played fantastic TT
Quá hay. ZQ thắng xứng đáng .
Am i the only one who thinks that zhou qihao has different style of play compare to other chinese players? He seems to be having both hard style of chinese and soft style of the european really..its like he has his own pace on when to play slow and playing hard..im talking in terms of rally and placement..kind of a bit different really..since that marvelous 12 tournament i saw him like the only one who has different style of playing like that..but i might be wrong though..haha
Yeah, agree. He has his own played rhythm. Excellent analysis bung
Did Fan Zhendong switch to Viscaria?
What a game! I wish FZD can win the gold medal, but I have to admit that Zhou Qihao played very well. He used chop block, target FZD's body, and was very polyvalent in general. But he also won 1 important lucky point at the end set #4. Otherwise, the end result might be different or we would be able to watch a longer game.
又一個全能戰士出現了，周啟豪厲害👍
Final 엄청 침착하고 speed is excessive. 몸매도 좋구요. Zhou Qihao very good!
ZQH was the best player. Not only attack! Congratulations 👏
🏓👍
The star is in the making
New Generation! Senior players are still taugh to beat, yet strong young players emerges from China.
The smile during play...damn Zhou is a killer, rare Chinese player had that good relax mentality. Most of them play like they are in jail.
Insane both. We mortals and the Party leaders' watching in awe. 'nough said.
ZQH is a " New wave " Now!! That makes blocks as weapons as well
China has a good shift growing! But I am sure that experience is important at the Olympics, so I make a prediction that Malong and Fan Zhentong will be in the final in Japan!
漂亮的比赛，技术很先进
Just OMG!!!!
Good Luck europeen player.. :(
10:01 two amazing points in a row.
This loss will make fan zhendong even more stronger make no mistake!
Ps. We need Adam Bobrow at the commentary box asap!!!!!!!
Fan is the Beast, but Zhou in this match is the Predator.
Not only Zhou beat Fan. But he also overpowered and crushed him.
Zhou Qihao's coach Liu Guozheng is famous of handling adverse situation.
