Ma Long's offense has always been top notch, but in the points that were shown in this match, I think it showed that Ma Long has really improved his defense also, extending points and giving himself opportunities to get back into a point and return to offense.
I love ma long. I love his dominating, super aggressive play style, and his form is top notch. However, i feel that his play style puts a lot more stress on his body than the stress most other players feel. Its kinda like watching Rafael Nadal play tennis. His forehand is amazing, generating uber topspin, but its gotta be putting massive strain on his body. But all in all, I love watching them both do what they do. And that's kicking ass and taking names. Haha.
looking at how ma long plays mizuntani, which is of a similar style to timo, except timo does more close table blocking then counterlooping currently. ma long can probably win against timo consistently no problem. i actually think mizutani probably has improved more than timo did. except mizutani wasn't as celebrated in china and wouldn't give as much psychological pressure. thanks for sharing
@dgiffy yeah thats definitely true. But then again, no one's style is more punishing than Ma Lin's in my opinion. His style puts a lot of stress on the body, and yet he still is performing well into his thirties when most table tennis players in China end they careers anyway, so it hopefully won't be a big problem for Ma Long.
Just because ttprovider shows the best moments, doesn't mean that Jun Mizutani played well. I saw the match online at ittf com/ittv and Mizutani was playing very good generally, he gain only 1 set, well Ma long is not just a player, is the player but he could do better by my opinion, nevertheless I like Mizutani
ma long is my favourite table tennis player. love seeing his strokes & attacks, especially his back-hand flip & fore-hand shots.
ma long mizutani matches are always awesome
One of Mizutani's best matches i've seen so far.

Great match !
Mizutani Jun has a long way to go
Mizutani=Awesome
I hope there will be match coming between Ma Long and Zhang Jike.
Will love to see the clash of the brutal forces of those two.

@spifo Ma and Zhang won their semifinals, so you will surely see a match between them.

-____- disregarding the derogatory use of the word, we have a Chinese playing a Japanese, and you use a term that applies to Koreans....
@flosnowxj9 actually that match is already played go to ittf dot com slash ittv and youll see who won!
what do you have to do to finish ma long off?! hes ridiculous
Ma Long is a little slower than his usual top shape, it seems his excessive physical performances are paying their toll...
WTF?! This is bizarre.
コレ、見てるとイライラする・・・
