if you have watched most of her games and compared with today's top players, you will see deng is simply phenomenal, no one in this decade is comparable. wang nan has achieved the same status in terms of medals, and zhang yining is the top right now, but thats because deng has dominated this game for too long and quitted earlier.
@poortaiwanese Watch your language. I agree that games do change and it is hard to compare people from different eras, but that doesn't mean older generations are worse. There is no doubt Deng was the 1-in-50-year kind of talent. Zhang is probably the closest comparable one. Tennis is really different as there were many great players during each era that nobody was considerably better. Women's table tennis is more like NBA, even today the game is different, no one can claim to be better than MJ.
i guess thats why they play ping pong they are to small to reach the tenis court net :p

@jordan5ans Well it's not just about their size, but mostly because of their tiny vision field.
