Danish Open: Dimitrij Ovtcharov-Zhang Jike

[prithwin]

whenever i see anyone play against Ma Long or Zhang jike it always seems like the final boss battle in a video game.

[sektor2001]

5:09 - Jike's coach doesn't look very pleased at all.

[TristanGoesYT]

I wonder what the chinese coach is mad about, the lose or the pathetic attitude shown at the end.

Probably a combination.

[michaeldeng1981]

finally, see a chinese lost

[Streetmaniac1984]

german coke snifffferrrrrrrrr

[TheOlzee]

see chinese coaches face at the end? not a happy bunny haha. Really good win for the german.

[TheHeidi24]

Wie der Ovtcharov seine Rückhand nimmt is echt genial :D

[DACO477]

Хули пиздеть ,китайцу дали пиздюлей по делу , не хуй нос задирать ,давно пора!

[DimaKats2]

Yeah Only for one time Ryu won Wang Hao, but the think is, at what time? At the Olympics, Wang Hao needs a Olympic gold medal, so he will be one of the few table tennis players, with 3 grand slams. And that only one time was at Olympics, how unlucky

[DimaKats2]

I think that Zhang will have a tough conversation with his coach, and not only conversation

[DimaKats2]

Oh yes I'm VERY proud now. A European player beat Zhang Jike and that's not Timo Boll. How wonderful, well done Dima

[NexxtGen]

@DimaKats2 you know that this is over 2 years ago? Zhang would absolutely destroy Dima now.

[DimaKats2]

@NexxtGen Yeah but it's still an amazing win

[TheLeeu0111]

how jikes trainer looks at him in the end...scary^^

[maxk880]

Dimitrij played really good this match

[kristinnal]

this is unbeliveble if they would se what you are writing how do you think they would feal Ryu just played better that time its as simple as that

[lopezrodriquez]

Chinese coach look is priceless:)

[BustyGretchen]

Who's laughing now between the 2? lol

[Sambuco92]

Ovtcharov RULEZ!!!!

[Axotrotl]

ROFL at 1:37 !!....nice battle btw

[stampejansson]

Thank you for putting up videos like this one! There's way too few videos of Ovchtarov, and not that many of Zhang Jike either.

[Syforce92]

Just take a look at 5:09... xD

Gonna rape u in the fitting room imao >.<

[Syforce92]

[Syforce92]

Just take a look at 5:09.....

Gonna rape u in the fitting room imao >.<

[worapongable]

Now, he can beat Ovtcharov

[afuckincookiemonster]

ahaha watch Zhang's coach at the end... He had the look as if he was gonna beat the shit out of Zhang for losing LOL

[TaciTiciBoy]

3:46

that was unbelievable

[BollForte94]

ttcountance first video ?

[rvsd44]

Congrats to Ovtcharov!  They both played very well. Coulda gone either way. Nice video. Keep em coming!

[jSlipkNoTj]

look at the final the4 face of the jike´s coach, hahahaha "i will kill you"

[kmml1972]

zhang needs a winning mentality just like kongs....he will never achieved anything in world circuit if he doesnt get his act together....great form great footwork but lacks on that winning edge...

[Deobfuscator]

I would have liked to see the ending of set 5.

[teolim]

BTW... what happened with Ovcharov doping matter? did he prove that he's not guilty or what some penalty?

[TaciTiciBoy]

@teolim they prove that he wasn't guilty and he's going to play at the tournament in the end of the month :)

[simpanmedskillzen]

I love Zhang's forhand.

[JaKKeli76]

aivan uskomaton ottelu=)

[pokemon17007]

ovtcharov 's backhand is nice

[Fakeslimshady]

That wasnt even a handshake

[MuthanTzu]

Did on of them fart on 1.35???

[ennioneto]

jogo muito!

[randompop101]

@Merrlol Out of the 10+ times of matches Ryu and Wang Hao played each other, Ryu only won one match, it was the 04 Olympics. That is less than 10% of chance of winning. Wang Hao was in very bad form at that time, as he had admitted himself to the Chinese media. Sure, Ryu was good at that time, but no where near good enough to beat Wang Hao. Ryu was lucky, but only for one time.

[saying68]

@randompop101 how the hell can Wang Hao be in bad form when he made to the Olympic final? Ryu was playing out of this world in that tournament.

[randompop101]

@saying68 For Wang Hao's level, getting to Olympic Finals is very very easy. It's much easier than getting to Chinese National Championship Finals because all other foreign players are no where near as strong as the Chinese national team and provincial team players. All players in Olympics, except his teammates, were supposed to be just target practice for Hao. Ryu's coach, Kim admitted after the match that the win was clearly in favor of Wang Hao. Ryu's good luck was Hao was playing very bad.

[randompop101]

@saying68 You should read the news more, it was all over the place that Hao was playing only 70% of his ability. Ryu only beat Hao that single time, never before and never after. In Chinese Super League, Ryu lost so many ridiculous matches to Chinese provincial players, even city team players. It's very easy for Hao to reach finals because can u tell me someone who can be a challenge to him? not Timo, not samsonov, not anyone outside of Chinese team. Chinese Nationals is harder than Olympics.

[saying68]

@randompop101 i know that Ryu only beat him the once, also understand the fact that the Chinese nationals is more difficult in comparison,but what you are saying is that everytime a none chinese beats a chinese player, the chinese was in bad form? just the same as all the Timo boll fans say every time he loses, they claim its due to his back problem, some players go to tournaments or finals and play so much better than their usual standard,surely you have to give the winner some credit?

[bartek4443]

@randompop101 He beat countless other good players to get to the final with Wang Hao. It could be an issue with what styles he was practicing against. Keep in mind that many styles found in the Chinese superleague are not played anywhere else (e.g. Hou Yingchao, Chen Jian, Cui Qinglei, etc.), which is why, imo, Ryu many players don't practice against those styles. He could of been practicing specifically to beat Waldner, Timo Boll, Primorac, Schlager, Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, etc.

[aznelf13]

@randompop101 you gotta give some credit to timo tho, he is like practically the only person nowadays who can really go on par with the chinese

[wasdwasdedsf]

they are big challanges to him

[17teacmrocks]

@randompop101 no... wang hao was not playing at 70%. ryu was just on fire that time.

wang hao usually beats ryu seung min. doesn't means just cuz he loses that he wasn't playing.

your bs theory would mean that wang liqin was also playing lower... at the olympics... cuz at that time no one beat wlq cept wang hao

[payton888]

@randompop101

ryu actually beat wang hao two times. second time in china super league

[teolim]

@randompop101 well... Ryu was lucky for sure. But I can't say Wang Hao was not in a good form since he won from Wang Liqin in the semi at the time. I would say Wang Liqin in 2004 is generally considered to be a stronger player than Wang Hao. Ryu was more lucky at the part that Waldner beat Boll and Ma Lin before losing from Ryu. If Ryu met Ma Lin or Timo Boll or Wang Liqin, he wouldn't be winning the olympic in 2004.

[teolim]

@randompop101 After the olympic Korean media revealed that Ryu trained particularly aiming Wang Hao's backhand. Ryu himself said in an interview that he was lucky to be in the finals (cuz he didn't expect much) and meet Wang Hao in the final (cuz he prepared) he said Chinese team is still the best even though he got the gold medal. But I think at least for the moment, he deserved to win from Wang Hao. I am sure Wang Hao didn't expect to meet Ryu in the final.

[wasdwasdedsf]

lol 10%, great analysis.

anyone is good enough to beat hao.

his post said that chinese coaches are disgusting

[maxk880]

@randompop101 calm down

[domquendo]

3:48 NICE

[sjasi1982m]

zhang got OWNED :)

[ywexe]

the ball bounce sound in this video sounds weird compared to the other videos

[MrPoorplay]

Both of them have GREAT backhand. But Ovtcharov uses more sidespin. Zhang is faster but he made many mistakes

[Legitdupe]

Dima clearly assumes where he's going to recieve the ball way too much. Many points were lost due to Dima standing in a completely wrong position and hence unable to return the ball.

[bartek4443]

@Legitdupe Waldner was said to be one of the best players because he could anticipate many shots made by his opponents, which is what Dima does

[Legitdupe]

@bartek4443 it's unargueably very beneficial to have a sixth sense but as I said I think Dima trusts it a bit TOO MUCH in this game. I think if Dima would rely slightly more on pure reflex Zhang could've been even more pwnd.

[taironnuxtuzu1]

オフチャロフさいこ～

[utahjai]

I can feel Ovtcharov has been improving steadily as time goes by. Timo and him should make a good team.

Good games.

[GBtabletennis]

They were some seasons ago a team at the German League. They become champion.

[tlkx1]

coach is pist off

[Luemmeljunge]

look at the expression of the chinese coach at 5:10 :O

[Vball2718]

ouch. that actually hurt me, just to look at his expression, really made me feel horrible. That is truly the look of death.

[arnoldsnell]

pls can someone tell me the rubber and blade dima uses ?

[Stuffcakes]

Ovcharov won the game after a 7-10 disadvatage. After that Zhang kinda ruined it. Needless to say Zhang is the more talented player. He should work on his mental weakness.

[PongGod]

Zhang is an extremely talented player for sure, but I wouldn't take anything away from Ovtcharov. He's also an amazing young player.

[XlolsenX]

ich spiel in dem verein wo dima manchmal immer noch trainiert :)

[myhommieg]

coach's name is qin zhijian

[ersguterjunge467]

omg the backhand of dima is one of the beste

[jaystir]

Maybe he's just trying to be cool. I think they should just bump knuckles instead. Sweaty palms handshake suck. :)

[chubbasmalone]

Wat's the chinese coache's name? thts prety bad 4 a coach to pull a dissapointed face at zhang jike wen he gav it his best shot. If zhang jike had won a couple more points at the end, whether they were played well or poorly, the coach would hav had a completely different facial expression.

[LegIsLate]

Qin Zhijian. Zhang is the top player within the Chinese Team (No. 2 on China Super League). Zhang only plays 50%-60% of his real stuff for sure, his missed quite a few shots that he shouldn't. He certainly has some mental weakness because every part of his techniques dropped a degree because of Dimitrij's backhand. This also shows how an European player break through Chinese backhand(except Ma Long, Wang Hao) In my opinion, Dimitrij is the best European player!He defines the new European style.

[markchanggz]

well, i don't think it's that bad, given zhang jike's attitude of indifference after the match.

[ersguterjunge467]

ehm tahts liu giuliang.he was world table etnnis champion

[chubbasmalone]

na Liu Gouliang is the head chinese coach but that aint him, im prety sure.

[utahjai]

That is not coach Liu.

This particular coach now went to the girls team. Wonder why?

[DoN253]

no it isnt liu ..... you dont know him good when you tink this coach is liu;D

[chubbasmalone]

Dimitri's bh serves are sik on the mic!!!

[cosmeticcarrepair]

Ovtcharov is taking the piss out of the limp wristed handshakes he got from the chinese when he walks up to his coach :)

[cosmeticcarrepair]

Did you see the pussy handshake he gave Ovtcharov, I fucking hate that.

[klu501]

well, you see, handshakes are not exactly commonplace in china, it's a custom of the western world, which does not include china...

[cosmeticcarrepair]

thanks for the information, so what is the chinese way of handshaking?

[cosmeticcarrepair]

i can't understand why sometimes the chinese give the umpire a firm handshake but then lightly slap the opponents hand eg chen qi vs micheal maze.

[jaystir]

You're right cosmeticcarrepair, Chen Qi did a weak handshake after giving the umpire and firm handshake. Maybe he's just trying to be cool. I think they should just bump knuckles. Sweaty palms handshake suck. :)

[cosmeticcarrepair]

it would be better than a sweaty light hand slap for sure :)

[erasul]

ahahah!see the face of zhang's coach??he was like, "you go back to china and plant potatoes"lols

[cosmeticcarrepair]

HAHAHAHAHAHA Nice one erasul HAHAHA

[FlowRidA100]

LOL, you don't know Dimitrij Ovtcharov, hes one of the 3 best german table tennis players^^

his serves are crazy but thats what makes him so special! xD

[yellowboy509]

guy in the blue has some sicks serves

[kepsen55]

please can someone do a tribute to zhang jike ??? :D

[cosmeticcarrepair]

Yes when he learns to shake hands like a man.

[kepsen55]

@kepsen55 haha so you are sitting here and watching how the best teble tennis players in the world are shaking hands ?

thats a new thing i am gonna try that now on my next video(Y)

[fixedshot]

I wanna see zhang jike play more on international tournaments

[r0b94]

Wow,5th game,10:6 and then the win for dima

[jimworm]

Lolz, listen for the fart at 1:39

[leebold05]

haha! your right! i could be wrong but it looks like it is from the ball hitting the net which shook the microphone or something...

[ttCrawsaive]

XD

haha!!

[TiciTaciBoy]

i dont really believe how dima can be in top 20, he never wins against a top chinese player

[Schwungerich]

tell me 5 players in the top 20 who wins against a top chinese player. At the moment, only Timo Boll can beat them.

[TiciTaciBoy]

yeah, samsonov has got a high ranking but he cant beat em

[Schwungerich]

you're right.

I think, Timo Boll is the best table tennis player at the moment, but he has got soo much pitch. He was in top form, but at the WTTC he has to be injured -.-

It's so desolate :(

[Schwungerich]

*who win

[TiciTaciBoy]

haha hab grade gemerkt du bist auch deutscher daher war die unterhaltung auf englisch sinnlos, ja is echt scheisse das er wegen wirbelsäulenproblemen oda so nich mitmachen kann, jetzt ist ja leider auch michael maze als letzter europäer draußen, ich denke ma long gewinnt

[Schwungerich]

naja. nach dem neusten stand wird Ma Long wohl doch nich gewinnen xD

Ich hoffe Wang Liqin gewinnt.

4 Einzel-WM-Titel wären schon heftig.

Aber, da ja alle meinten, dass er zu alt sei und, dass seine Zeit vorbei wäre fänd ichs schon cool, wenn er jetzt im gegenzug einfach mal die WM gewinnen würd xD

Außerdem ist er auch so mein lieblingschinese

[heijmen]

you can be in the top 20 if you don't win against the top chinese? and he wins from zhang jike, wang liqin?

[patpingpong]

wa u mean ONLY timo boll can beat them, did u just miss the entire video u commented on, ovtcharov won mind haha

[Schwungerich]

Zhang Jike isn't a top chinese ;)

[patpingpong]

nah of course he isn't only chinese national champion

[taufoofar]

Boll can beat the top chinese. But Zhang Jike is not yet a top player in the chinese team. GIve him a while longer, he'll dominate the sport.

[patpingpong]

nah ma long will be the most succesful player ever!!

[taufoofar]

For now, that is. Zhang Jike is still very young. He still has it good for him.

[perniciousnc]

zhang is not yet a top player!? wt a talking about, he "can" beat all the chinese top players, ***he has the second highest winning rate in the chinese super league this season

[coolwiller]

i think that dimas forehand looks like michael mazes. but mazes is way faster. and zhang dosent have good underspin in his bakhand.

[coolwiller]

dimitrij is the best.... i think

[demystifiedwu1]

jike not consistent enough, but hes like what...17?

[FCKTTfan]

zhang jike is better than Dima.this was the best match of dima in his carrer and zhang jike wasnt good

[Opalance]

Jike doesnt have as much experience against non-Chinese players of course, both are excellent players, but not really tested yet compared to older players, time will tell who will have a better career.

[zsyed12345678]

It's funny how Zhang also has a bit of an unorthodox backhand

[behaardenbosaap]

How is it different from Ma Long's , except for the speed of the movement?

[zsyed12345678]

I didn't say it was ... I didn't even mention Ma Long in my comment

[ichach1337]

Ovtcharovs serve at 0:14 is not legal, it should be Zhangs point. The ball must be above the table surface. But it's a good serve ;)

[gsofficial]

lolol wrong, this guy has used the same serve in every international tournament he's entered for the past 2 years. his hand is level with the table before the ball leaves it, and elevates the proper amount,

[17teacmrocks]

he does have a fag serve though. i liked when he got owned vs ma lin and his confidence in his serve got screwed :)

[PingMast]

both of them is good...not to say the zhang is bad coz he lose...

[ImprovinMyGame]

Lol Sweet revenge for Timo Boll's defeat against Zhang Jike earlier. j/k

Both Zhang and Ovtcharov did an awesome job. BTW hat's off to Zhang for defeating Timo, but that's where he stops

[Sandcat87]

He also beat Wang Hao (world number 1), Ma Lin (Olympic gold medalist), and Ma Long (slated as the next big number 1). Zhang Jike is definitely not stopping there.

[ImprovinMyGame]

I've been keeping an eye on some of these younger guys: Ma Long, Ovtcharov, Zhang Jike, Mizutani, and Matsudaira among others. These guys have really been stepping it up. I really don't think the veterans Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Boll, Samsonov, and others with Wang Hao and some of the other guys can hold out for much longer. I predict Wang Hao is going to stay near the top but Ma Long will soon overtake him. I also think some from the younger generation will overtake the older in just a few months.

[Chinesekage]

wat about xu xin? :[

[17teacmrocks]

dude. hao shuai has the best rec in the china in house tourneys overall. it doesn't mean he'll be tops & "not stop there".

[idnumber002]

zhang is really sharp in that red (Y)

[tanxu]

ov plays like an amature, werid everything, but it works

lol

[Dotszor]

I absolutely adore Ovtcharovs service.

Great Quality btw! +1

[Taiwan168888]

In my own humble opinion, his knees will wear out faster.

[DuchDoby]

Yes his coach can try a suiside :D

[chacalba]

Good!!

[Echschmet]

ver good match and quali

[MCS12Methodic]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Did you see the look on Zhang's coach's face at the end!?

[MDSguy]

oh lol, he was like "WTF u smiling about?"

[stiltersteve]

Great match from two future great!

5stars

[martinwyatt5959]

great match, thanks!
