Ma Long in complete control here, with no signs of aging. More energy, covering the corners well, stepping around and above all counter-hitting superbly on the BH, his weaker side!
ma long in the slightest way possible is not weak in backhand. his backhand is super solid. just because he don't kill or use his backhand for finishing doesn't means he is weak in backhand. he just has his own gameplay. and he don't need to use his backhand much.
Well said! good comment! Fan played well in this match, but Ma long played better! Ma Long is the GOAT! and might be in generations to come, there will be no one can archive what Ma Long has archived in table tennis!...
@@seeker3983 Exactly! You are the first one who said that. I agree with you. Most people thought ML back hand is his weakness, but "NO" his backhand is what you have described above. Ma Long is the GOAT! and might be in generations to come, there will be no one can archive what Ma Long has archived in table tennis! ()()()()
@@seeker3983 If you're looking for world's best shots, ML's FH is a contender but his BH isn't, IMO. I share the enthusiasm of all the ML idolisers out there and rejoice to see him still playing at a very high level, but maybe, as he loses some of his speed, he will come to rely on his BH more. Let's see what happens when he faces greater challenges than the one he faced here.
For some reason people think someone who is playing in chinese national team has weak backhand, how this makes any sense? If you have weak BH you will not even appear in main line up, and still people keep posting this.
Almost perfect from Captain Long today; reminded me of his Tokyo gold medal performance. His forehand has not been stable in his last few games, but it certainly looked amazing today. His down-the-line backhand also troubled FZD a lot. The GOAT showed why he's the GOAT.
Totally agreed, ML did not have a BH long rally with FZD, switched too opposite corner or in the middle of FZD body helped ML won a lot of points today ... His FH play also very expressed :)
cuz he knows he is going to world champion and Olympics no matter he wins or loses this match. So why not just give Ma Long a favor? A typical win-win situation.
@@harryharrison362 nah ZJK gained a back injury in 2014 and it got worse in 2016 he kept playing because of his chance for double grandslam even though ma long was the favorite. Fan is in good shape with no current injuries.
Well said! If you watch carefully, you can notice that Ma Long has played differently in strategy and also more consistent! Ma Long is the GOAT! and might be in generations to come, there will be no one can archive what Ma Long has archived in table tennis!
Just when everyone is talking about ma long possibly losing some of his form to aging and how he could slow down the inevitable. The scariest thing: he is actually still improving…

First set - look how ML is moving like a precision knife. Can tell he wants it in 1st set. I really want to see if Ma can do this to Wang Chiquin or if Wang is Ma's kryptonite.
There used to be a time when Ma Long would be vulnerable in bh-bh rallies. Now this has become the strongest part of his game! With reduced athleticism he doesn't run around the bh so much ... and no longer needs to. Impressive.
I think FZD and LJK are in the cycle of gaining mass rather focusing in the technique or tactical aspects of the game. Of course, Ma Long showed the balance between of parts of the game and deserved the title.
Love ML but lately I'm always a little surprised to see him beat FZD (especially 3-0)! FZD is so consistent and powerful but ML knows and anticipates his play so well.
Hier in den Kommentaren dreht sich alles um Ma Long. Hier haben die zwei Weltbesten Spieler gegeneinander gespielt und die Tagesform hat das Spiel entschieden. In Singapore hat FZD gegen Ma Long gewonnen und hier bei der nationalen Meisterschaft Ma Long. Man hat gesehen das FZD nicht in seiner Best- und Tagesform gespielt hat. Er war nicht spritzig genug, und taktisch hat er nicht gerade Ma Long ausgespielt. Es waren viele Aspekte die zusammen gekommen sind bei FZD das er das Spiel verloren hat. Ich bin der Meinung das die Spieler verheizt werden und wenig Ruhephasen haben. Ma Long hat die Tagesform an den Tag gebracht und verdient gewonnen. Punkt
Ma long seems to be in good form, especially that backhand down the line. Fan zhendong appeared a bit "sleepy" and not particularly tight on his serves.
Ма Лонг точил свой бэкхенд около 5 лет, чтобы сегодня выиграть. Почему Фан не стал играть в свою короткую игру, где на выходе всегда выигрывал - непонятно и очень мало ловил по линии (правда Лонг успевает везде).
Так он в 2020 году в чемпионате мире проиграл ему со счетом 2 : 2 11 : 10 Я рад что он победил в этом году ( 2023 ) Думаю , он изучил его Крч чтоб ошибку не повторить
Puede ser que Ma Long haya recuperado nivel...no hay duda con el rigor que ellos utilizan, pero aquí Fan Zhendong se vio muy flojo. A veces hay muchas dudas y misterios cuando se trata de China. Fan Zhendong tiene más de 7 mil puntos en el ranking y no peligra en nada si pierde varios torneos ... quizá es una estrategia mantener a Ma Long arriba cerca también. Ya se ha revelado que China usa dobles para entrenar a su equipo y así estar preparado para los jugadores top de Europa. También usan dos jugadores para sparrings al mismo tiempo preparar un jugador...como lo hicieron mucho con Wang Hao para que así tenga un gran derecho y revés. Tampoco es muy convincente eso de las gomas DHS pegajosas y los argumentos dados... Si fuera tan verdad todo al 100% marcas como Butterfly, Donic, Yasaka,etc. Que llevan décadas en el negocio habrían experimentado esa fórmula. Ahora usan gomas un poco pegajosa, pero no se utiliza esa misma esponja china. Aparte de jugadores del equipo chino no ninguno más de otros lugares del mundo utiliza ese tipo de gomas... Ni coreanos,ni japoneses o europeos. Ni China año ls atrás... Liu Guoliang nunca uso esas gomas. Se dice de las gomas nacionales, provinciales y comerciales. Se habla de estudios que comprueban que las gomas tienen más efecto, más rendimiento,etc. Pero nunca se ha visto el método utilizado (método científico paso a paso) es como leer de un estudio, pero sin saber el muestreo, sujetos de estudios, marco teórico,etc. A simple vista pareciera más marketing que nada. La cantidad de jugadores debido a la gran población de ese país y la cantidad de centro de formación para este deporte, junto con la filosofía utilizada y estilo de juego basado en la capacidad física (por eso tanto recambio de jugadores seguidos y para mantener medalleros) hace que puedan hacer esto. Creo que China puede darse el lujo de decir y hacer más cosas que los demás porque aún están en escalón más arriba, pero por las razones mencionadas. Demás está decir que hay talento,rigor, disciplina, estrategia,etc. Pero aún así.
Well! If you watch carefully, you can notice that Ma Long has played differently in strategy and also more consistent! Ma Long is the GOAT! and might be in generations to come, there will be no one can archive what Ma Long has archived in table tennis! Bravo GOAT!
For any sports, I have only seen two greatest players are like Bruce Lee’s quote “being water”: one is MJ, the other one is Ma Long. Both of them are able to adjust their tactics in the battle field to overcome challenges in the matter of seconds. That is called the sports genius, my friend. Of course, Bruce Lee was the one did that first. Unfortunately, I am not old enough to see Bruce Lee in the battle field lived. I have not seen any other athletes could do that including Roger Federer. Thus, I will not be surprised if Ma Long would win another gold in the Olympic game next year.
Looks like Fan is playing with a viscaria super alc which is a bit faster than the golden tag one he typically uses. Certainly changing his game in some aspect.
Well! both of them are great and let's just enjoy watching them in the next few more years especially playing against each other before one or both of them will be out of competition on the world tournaments because of the aging caught up and also young players moving up to replace them. Just enjoy watching ML playing when he is still able to play tournaments until his last one. It will make many people sad including me for sure, and ML will forever be in people's hearts! Smile.
For me xu xin is the best,because he does "an art" in every match...in football we have Ronaldinho,in bilyard we have ryan eferes from philiphina.they do "an art"in every match...imo 👍👍👍
Наконец то МА Лонг услышал мои мысли и перестал с ним в бабскую перетычку играть слева налево, в которой Ма Лонг, всегда проиграет и всегда проигрывал ему в такой игре, но всегда выигрывал Фана в разнообразной игре, в смене ритма и в разном направлении атаки, в женской перетычке по диагонали у МА Лонга не было бы ни единого шанса. Несколько раз он ввязался в такую перетычку и проиграл очки, но вовремя одумался, молодец. Но и с Фаном сегодня было что то не то, сам на себя был не похож!!!

The GOAT is back ! Hope he will be in the next JO in Paris to definitely enter in the legend.
Think big. Ma long is not becoming weaker, he’s actually still improving! I’d expect him to give a shot at gold in Los Angeles
Amazing Ma! I prefer his style to that of FZD, more creative and less of a machine. Glad he won.
Me too

The match we've all been waiting for!
Wow amazing skills,serves, beautiful

Yes, a communistic world.
Ma backhand is back......very good ma....Good Job Ma....Congratulations....
I think ma long can win one more Olympics gold 🥇 if he stay focus these few years ahead
Placement instead of exchanging backhands with fzd, that was the key, dragon got wiser.
Ma Long in exquisite form !!!
i have always loved Ma Long style. Aggressive and hard hitter!

The Captain has a 22-8 win record over FZD. That's one of the reasons Captain ML still has the mental edge over FZD.

Daddy is back...
Welcome back the Goat!
His backhand was in the best form I’ve seen it in a long time
Какое же это удовольствие следить за борьбой двух великих якодзунов!

Ma is just another league for all of them. His mindset is outstanding.

The return! Lezgooo ML 💪💪
Wow, Ma Long looking better than he's looked in years. Great to see the dictator back from injuries and dictating once again.
my guy is back 😎
ML's forehand loopkills on those slightly-high FZD serves were amazing in this match.
its surprising Ma Long is doing so great against FanZendong.. :)
The Goat flexes his muscles and is here to stay
The dragon is back breathing fire. Nobody can stop him in this form. Undisputedly G.O.A.T. So amazing at his age. What has he done?

ML is on a mission to compete in single Olympics 2024. If he becomes world champion this year he might have a chance
If Ma Long didn't get injured he's still the world number 1 until today
But Fan is younger than Ma so I won't support this comment
Ooof ma long didn’t leave any chance here for fan zhendong what a performance
