Zhang Yining vs. Wu Yang (2009 China Table Tennis Super League)

[jordan5ans]

i guess thats why they play ping pong they are to small to reach the tenis court net :p

[zsoujiro]

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

[jordan5ans]

@zsoujiro lol good one

[Herold008]

Wu Yang is a great chopper !!!

[mingcheng123]

y did zhang yining loop the ball THAT high? wu yang could haf smashed it?!

[Oritalex]

neither the audience nor commentators were being fair to wuyang =.=

[julianlkp]

do you have deng yaping's video match ? thanks

[mingcheng123]

zhang changed her serve?! higher toss...

[takkyu101]

but deng yaping's records were only challenged in this era by zhang.

[takkyu101]

zhang yining > deng yaping

[jkillashark]

mmmm apples vs oranges I guess. Two different eras, more advanced technique, training methods.

[newshhh]

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.

@newshhh my ass.Game changes and also the level of skills.You can't compare pete sampras and roger federer

in tennis for example.Totally different eras and styles of play

[newshhh]

@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.

not really...if they had a battle at their peaks it'd be interesting..

BTW VS08540, do you have the match where wu and zhang played where wu won?

thanks!
