Danish Open: Ma Long-Dimitrij Ovtcharov

[HaZeEurope91]

Dimitrij is skilled as fuck

[fractalheadache]

2009? Now Ma Long's a bit older, he's game is basically complete - there's no comparison between these two now, Ma Long is king!



[michaeldeng1981]

but this german is gut!

[Streetmaniac1984]

Ovtcharov can only win game/matches with drugs...

[fabiopalma]

Lucky ball after lucky ball after lucky ball, eheh

[DimaKats2]

oH Dima fcked Chinese twice, Zhang and Ma long. if I were German I will be very proud, and I'm proud that Dima almost won Ma lOng, TImo Boll never took 3 sets of ma long. Now the german coach must be more proud for Dima (kidding)

[Michaelouds1993]

@DimaKats2 How do you mean ''TImo Boll never took 3 sets of ma long'' He won 4 times from Ma Long. So it's a little bit more than ''3 sets''!

[DimaKats2]

00:37 How embarassing

[broro100]

look at the score board @5:25

[Razorshardz]

@broro100

They swapped nationalities.

[TheKarub1]

dimas backhand is incredable better than his fh

[MultiGangstershit]

those grunts distracts ma long

[811Leon]

remarkable that Ma Long turns his racket to smash

[MrWaaghals]

@811Leon All the chinese players do that...

[KRISYSable]

@811Leon WHY HE DO THIS?

[811Leon]

@KRISYSable his backhand rubber is a little bit softer than his forehand and its easier to smash with a soft rubber. so he turns if he has time to.

[KRISYSable]

@811Leon AH OK, i didn't know its easier to smash whit a soft rubber. it's easier ok, but harder rubber is stronger then softer, for this it thought a stronger rubber it was better to do point in a smash. isn't it?

[811Leon]

@KRISYSable its not all about the speed. u need to have the right technique to win the smash point and this is much easier with the higher control of the soft rubber.

[fretze99]

@811Leon I don't think he turns to have more control but because his red rubber is japanese (Tenergy 64) so it's more flexibe then his black chinese rubber (Hurricane 3). He just doesn't need to smash with full power every time to get full speed.

[aznelf13]

ma long flame on son!! yea boi!!

[TaciTiciBoy]

he should play his tomahawk serve on ma longs forehand side. it's easier to return it with backhand. he played really good.

[Dennis914088]

Dimi kann gut mithalten :)

[TheToXonicS]

0:40 Best Tomahawk serve ever seen

[Mike951124]

ma long is beast

[tenergy05]

I don't like Dima as a person, he is quite arrogant and lofty - i played him once, and smalltalked him at the austrian open, but to tell you the truth, he is one of the players with the most potential. He has got VERY powerful strokes, and his backhand is as consitent as his forehand. He has to improve his short-short play - he often just chops to give the ball back instead of placing it more wisely, in a more aggressive way, and does not use the flip often enough. Sometimes his footwork..

[tenergy05]

becomes too sloppy. If he is able to improve all these weaknesses, i see him constantly at the top 5. Just a humble opinion ;) But i was right with Ma Long 5 years ago too :)

[bartek4443]

@tenergy05 I don't know if he is arrogant, but I know that he acknowledges his position in the top 20. He is not a very humble person, but he isn't cocky, at least from the little time I know him. I know a few people that went to training camps with him and they said he is a very kind person, but likes to talk about his achievements, which many people think of as arrogant.

[DKPOWA]

Dima played well, but Ma Long just kept on getting the ball in ;)

[gsofficial]

i like to think this was the match which inspired ma long to train his backhand rigorously over the following year into the powerhouse it is today

[ttCrawsaive]

I like the sound of the bounce

[Stuffcakes]

Ovcharov did really good. I would not have thought that he was good enough to make it to a 7setter vs Ma Long in good shape.

[jason59497]

精彩

[XowntXihqX]

@jason59497 agreed

[ppball]

awesome and a very close game between Asian and European.

[michaelmcguire93]

after seeing this i cant believe how ovtcharov lost to appelgren:L

[5upr3m3m4dne55]

ovtcharov and his crazy backhands ftw

[PingMast]

pity dimitri.....at the WTTC he lost to ma long like shit

[bartek4443]

wow, this is crazy dima makes a pendulum serve at 3:30 :0

[noopy1993]

ma long has a very bad backhand if we compare him with the other professional table tennis players

[gsofficial]

dima's backhand is much better, but ma long's forehand is so much better compared to dima it's not even close

[perniciousnc]

a u serious? his backhand blocking is outstanding, he just didn't play well inthis game.

[noopy1993]

yeah ok... but you should also attack with backhand^^

& thats my opinion but i still like ma long because his forehand

for a professional table tennis player i think thats not enough to beat the world best players

[Wellington811]

hehe ....So do you think who are the world best players???? the world best players r all Chinese players. If table tennis game changes the rules agian,to use backhand to play! I think European will win but the table tennis will be werid!

[Pewpshmear]

@Wellington811 what? have you ever heard of wang hao. his backhand is redunkulous. timo boll is the shit tho. so you're wrong.

[Diuable]

lol wtf? very bad? do you even know how to play table tennis?

[DelijeOd1991]

Very good game!!!

Respekt!!!!

[papajama24]

Dimitrij has changed his BH servis to more "normal" one :P

[PingMast]

lol ma long's backhand block is so good
