Yep, I am not sure if Ma Long was slipping or if he managed to work into the weak point, but the last set was surely a thriller. Looked like Gaston tried to hit that far forehand corner since it seemed to be working. Ma Long started to mix in chopblock to disrupt the pase and often times it ended up giving him an opportunity to forehand. Ma Longs forehand was really scaring Gaston away from the table.
@@reinaldopessoa2603 No. That's not true at all. What would make you believe that sponsors' opinions on that would matter? The only way it could would be if it either brought more viewers or made more viewers tune out in a noticeable way. And how would sponsors even know what's going to work and what won't before they try it? What has actually happened is that they FINALLY started to read the comments and realized that there are tons of comments stating that the other angle is absolutely despised on every single video and that there are never comments praising the new angle at all. I won't try to take credit, but I wrote to WTT a few weeks ago and I talked all about improving viewership. One of the things I wrote about was the angle. I asked them if they never read any of the comments and how much people HATE it and how much it's commented about, and how much those comments get liked. The top comments are always about the angle these days, and it's always negative about it. So, perhaps they took what I said under advisement. Idk. Maybe, maybe not. All I can say is that I JUST talked to them about that very issue and they suddenly changed the angle at the very next tournament. Coincidence? Maybe. I have no idea.
@@BiscoWho oh so you do okay, I'm guessing you didn't watch the tournament in Macau but any table that isn't table 1 gets this view but because of the sponsors table 1 has to be overhead so the names can be seen the way they want.
Entertaining match and a nice little interaction at the end. So often the Chinese players are quite dismissive of their inferior opponents but Ma Long made a point of looking his opponent in the eye at the handshake and even thanking him for wishing him good luck in the rest of the tournament.
Parabéns ao argentino, acho que eu e muitos outros teriam quebrado a raquete nesta partida😹😹.👏👏👏👏 Também fico feliz de ver Ma Long jogando sem aquele desânimo de quando enfrentou WCQ. Espero que ele não volte a jogar daquele jeito desleixado de antes. Partida segura do GOAT.
Is so sad to hear the female sportscaster making fun of the Latin player, specially on the first set. We all know that Ma Long is the favorite, hers too. But as the match progress you can tell she rejoices on Ma Long's game and is short of good, if any, comments on the opponent’s effort and good points.
While I agree she's not the best sportcaster, there's not much to praise the other guy for when he won 2-3 points per set. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's trash it's a great thing to even be in top 128 at the world championship, but the difference in class was to enormous to mention anyone in that match except Ma Long. Had he won 8 points in every set, maybe he could've been praised more.
Is ma long using a different rubber now? I thought he was using hurricane on both sides for a while, but now I see he is twiddling the racket for the smashes
@@lucaslima4218 Sorry that's not possible, if you make a illegal service, first you are called out and have and attention, second or third time you do it, then you have a yellow card, you can heard that the referee says "let" and Ma Long lift his finger saying that is left, almost nobody player complain if you serve illegal, i only saw 2 players in high level complaining and you can't pause the game if the other player serves illegal, one chinese player got a yellow card for interruping one poing because the rival made an illegal serve. However iIf you use the character "." to check every frame you can see that ma long actually can see the ball because he is right, if ma long were left then the serve is illegal because the left hand of Gastón wouldn't let see ma long. However the serve is illegal because he makes the contact point in the table and not out of the table
@lucaslima, it was a let serve. And then Gaston's next serve was a service fault (he tried to do a long fast serve into Ma Long's backhand, but it drifted too long and didn't hit Ma Long's side of the table) which is what led to the score of 3-2 in Ma's favour. Unfortunately, they decided to not show that serve which understandably leads to confusion ...
You can tell the other guy doesn't play on very high level often, so he simply wasn't used to it in the beginning. He got better and better towards the end as he started to get used to the speed, placement, and spin etc. This is why simply playing with better players often will raise your level.
Whoever is saying this is the best angle, are you talking about the constantly moving camera or the view from behind? If the camera wasn't moving, the angle would be pretty good. I understand why people complain about the side view, but these views combined aren't much better.

3:19 That serve looks super ilegal, can't see where exactly the ball is though at contact point. Ma Long got the point but it doesn't show if it's cuase the serve was flaged or not.

This is such a disgusting point of view, your point of view is like saying because William James Sidis had an IQ of 250 so everyone else in comparison is simply stupid. Ma Long is considered the GOAT, he's just that good, doesn't mean the opponent is weak. When Michael Schumacher dominated F1, it didn't mean that everyone else was an amateur, when Michael Jordan dominated the NBA, it didn't mean everyone else was an amateur, it just shows how dominant and extra ordinary these players are.
Huge thanks for changing the angle!! And congrats to Gaston Alto who gave it all till the end
100%
some matches still use the side view though
Well played Gaston. He came to play and was a good watch. Fabulous point he took towards the end. Respect.

This CAMERA VIEW is much better. Makes me wanna follow and watch table tennis again!!!!
This is clearly the best angle - why not always use it?
They have to do it for the sponsors.

Indeed, this is probably the best angle. But let´s be honest: the video quality is so low... Only 1080p in 2023? Cmon...

This camera angle really allows us to see the beauty of a Ma Long forehand. It's so relaxed, fluid and elegant, yet fast and vicious!
對，馬龍完美主義者，他打球技術好，也要優雅好看！
Ma Long's ball placement in the middle won him every single point in which it was used. Insane.
amazing angle! please make this the standard angle for all matches!
Top angle!
the camera angel is good
Gaston Alto played well, but Ma Long is another level.
Please give me a blade
Ya gaston alto defense level is on fire
Another World
Que orgullo Argentino Gaston. Ma Long es de otro planetong
la posta
Great angle, finally!

Sorry but I've never seen Chinese player being dismissive of any player, inferior or otherwise.
Que capo Gastón, se notó el respeto mutuo. Ma Long simplemente increíble
Great camera angle!
Que bien por Gaston se jugo unos puntos de nivel ....es un privilegio jugar Contra Ma Long
Oh man, so excited to finally watch a major tournament, if they continue to use this angle
100%
Exactly
that last 9-7 point was legendary
Ha de ser aterrador tener a Ma long frente a ti! excelente profesionalismo de gaston alto, que no se dejo llevar
good job on presenting the highlight in the proper viewing angle! please stick with it throughout the tournament
100%
Great angle, great table color, thanks a lot WTT !!!
Alto played a good game, congrats! But congrats also to Ma Long for a superb display!
Please do more video with this angle 🙏🙏🙏
Kinda which we could hear what they said to each other at the end, i love that respecful and friendly handshake here :D
Well done Argentinean, Ma Long even sweated...
The goat
Good camera angles. No side angle please.
100%
Amazing Camera angle finally theyve found the right one. I hope all WTT events change to this with the occasional high up angle
Разница в «классе» просто потрясающая! The difference in "class" is simply amazing!
Gaston played really well , for someone from earth. But there’s a lot of planets out there.
best angle so far
Nice exhibition points, well done both players
This angle comes back!!!!
Jugando más con jugadores de ese nivel top les tomaría la mano y podría jugarles más partido Gastón Alto! Buen partido!!!!
Es la primera vez que veo a un partido de Gastón Alto. Su nivel me impresionó.
@@felipewozniak es un jugador top de Argentina de mucha trayectoria!!!!
@@liebestraumer Siendo sincero, en Angentina no hay mucho nivel para la competencia internacional, al menos que entrenen en Brasil, Europa o en Asia
Better camera angle. But bring old camera angle back (from back of court)
The dragon is on fire! What a level against a surprising excellent player.. .😵😵😵
Really like the color setup here. Camera very good. Highly watchable.
This is so much better than the dark theme . No more black floor and black table. Yay!
Parabéns ao argentino, acho que eu e muitos outros teriam quebrado a raquete nesta partida😹😹.👏👏👏👏
Também fico feliz de ver Ma Long jogando sem aquele desânimo de quando enfrentou WCQ.
Espero que ele não volte a jogar daquele jeito desleixado de antes. Partida segura do GOAT.
Verdade. Gaston Alto joga muito, mas o Ma Long está realmente em outro nível e erra muito pouco.
Que honra para ele jogar com o Ma Long.. deve ser incrível enfrentar uma lenda dessa!
@@felipewozniak Que honra para ele jogar com o Ma Long! Deve ser incrível enfrentar uma lenda dessa!
Bien por Gastón, cuando en el tercer set, en el cuarto punto mostró que la pelota había tocado su remera y era punto para Ma Long. 👏👏
Finally a good angle! So sad that you ruined the viewing experience in every other tournament.
Amazing camera angle !
Plz use this angle. Ita very good.
I guess never been happier for someone I don't know likr I was when This Guy won that lob point
Impresionante punto que ganó Gastón mis respetos 👏
Ma Long playing a relaxed 50% training match :D his touch on the reverse pendulum serve receive is insane
5:55 Good one, Congrats to the GOAT :)
Best angle so far!

It's a habit from the old days, as far as anyone knows, he still uses double Hurricane
ma long switch to red side when smashing because the rubber is less harder so you can feel and control the ball better when smashing
Really nice serves from the argentinean!!
I'm a little sad, I wanted to see this match live and Dimitrij's but I never found table 1 and 3
Ma long isx
The beast❤❤❤

an amateur player will never get 2 points per set against Ma Long
Lol if you think Alto is an amateur, you've got your levels mixed up my man
Ma long makes other players look amateur sometimes . 😅
Great camera angle😊
