European Championships: Dimitrij Ovtcharov-Par Gerell

[falconisko]

I wonder what his FH/BH rubbers are. At 0:14 while smashing the winner, he twiddled from his black FH to his red BH. The chinese players do twiddle from their DHS rubbers to Tenergies on BH while smashing so I suppose his BH shuold be some kind of Tenergy-like rubber?

great the way he got up off the ground so slowly and timed

Nice editing! Great upload. Thanx!!

Honestly this is the first time I've ever seen Dima serve from the backhand court like that. I mean I was uberly surprised because I didn't even know he could do that.

[hobbes203]

it seems he fixed his cho :O sounds like a true german growl

[ttCrawsaive]

Dima is the only one who won 3-0, and that against Gerell who beat Schlager, Smirnov,...I hope Dima wins the singles too!

dima dima

Damn Garell beated Werner but Dime crushed he.Dima is improving fastly.

[siegler1]

Wow, Dmitrij's footwork looks really fast this match!

[pokemon17007]

Gerell started games so well but he could not win even 1 game [-(

[MrPoorplay]

Dima's services didn't seem to be short enough. Gerell can return many by his forehand topspin.

[GuiMXC]

Can we say that DIma is the real #2 in Europe now?

[max095]

@GuiMXC Not, remember Samsonov, Apolonia an some others strong players in Europe...

[EdMajinLee199999]

@GuiMXC jeeze dude, wait until the singles are over. You totally jumped the gun.

[cretandrummer]

Par Gerell has to improve his game strategy! He is such a good player and it is a shame that didn't win!

[GBtabletennis]

@cretandrummer He is weak against topspin services. All backspin services from Otcharov were a point for Garell. Garell was really misunderstanding the topspins.

[cretandrummer]

@GBtabletennis You are not wrong! I I watched the match more carefully and i could notice that too!

[plot000000]

gave up an 8-2 lead. ouch 

[lumm71]

Nice match. Both players were fast and powerful. But Dima has more opportunities.
