jiang jia liang was watching too much bruce lee movies

applegreen(pun intended) totally outclassed jiang in that match from my point of view. apple should have won without losing the 2nd set had jiang not been allowed to rely on his guile and play any tricks in the game. the umpire was too lenient with jiang imho. in fact, apple turned out to be the penholders' worst nightmare in the 1989 wttc, beating famous asian players like jiang, chen longchan, yoo nam kyu, kim ki taek(the notorious waldner killer), kim park soo, kim song hui one after another.

Jiang Jialiang vs Mikael Appelgren in '80s was like Liu Guoliang vs Jan-Ove Waldner in '90s. Chinese fast attackers beat European loopers! The Chinese wisely chose speed over spin against the foreign players as they first entered the WTTC scene in '50s. Now they master both speed and spin as they dominate the sport.

Not in this match :P but other than that u are right. So many good Chinese players over the years, we can only watch in awe. But Sweden had some succees and im happy with that. Cheers
