2011 World Team Cup: Wang Hao - Dimitrij Ovtcharov (full match|short form)

2011 World Team Cup in Magdeburg, Germany
Men's team semi-final: Germany vs China (match 2) - Wang Hao vs Dimitrij Ovtcharov

[@srinath6247]

I just couldn't believe the fact that the legendry Wang Hao who had defeated Ma Long and Xu Xin lost to this German player.

[@UgljesaLukic]

they are robots ovtcharov is super tehnik bro!!!

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

​@@UgljesaLukicrobots who's form everyone including Dima tries to copy!

[@the_artisan3392]

He lost to Ryu and Ma Lin in the olympics, both players he really should not be loosing to. He is a good player but is far from perfect especially in the mental game. He had the skill to be the best player ever in the game's history but did not make it so.

@@the_artisan3392 ryu seung min I agree with you, but wang hao had a history of struggling against ma Lin. He could've been the goat of table tennis, evidently with how impressively he got into three olympic finals, which is insane, unfortunately didn't win any of those matches liu guoliang once said wang hao had the highest peak level of any chinese player, with how balanced/strong his backhand (rpb) and forehand game was. his mental game wasn't always there. liu guoliang was comparing wang hao to ma long and Zhang jike (who are both goats).

[@erstonoutway7281]

It was a wierd tournament from China. As far as i remember they lost two games to russia with ma lin losing his single to skachkov and i think they lost their double aswell. Against germany they lost this one. It was Ovtcharovs only win against WH i think. They won the finals against south korea 3:0 but every match was a struggle.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

The World Cup isn't a really important tournament for the Chinese.The players may have been exhausted from other tournaments. 2011 was a WTTC singles year and in 2012 there was the Olympics and the WTTC teams event so 2011-2012 was a pretty intense period for the Chinese Team.

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

​@@dickn.ormous1064why wouldn't the world cup be important if it's one of the named 3 in the grandslam?

[@ponslav]

Лучшее исполнение от Дмитрия Овчарова, думаю что, он заранее был подготовлен к его подачам и заготовкам Ван Хао. Не знаю что с формой Ван Хао, но он вторым номером искал пути розыгрыша.

[@KYchiu402]

good performance by Ovtcharov!! Beating Chinese players is not impossible!!

[@ricardomora5187]

It is when the Chinese are not in their prime anymore

[@Keepcalm-lovesports]

+Ricardo Mora until 2014 when he retired, wang hao could beat anyone. it just wasn't his best performance and the tension was very high

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@Keepcalm-lovesports How was the tension high?World Team Cup is not even a real Slam.It's the only loss of Wang Hao in a team event on his whole career.

[@user-xx7pc9vg1l]

Во блин! А я и не знал что Овчаров у топов выигрывал

[@triplex9595]

very clever play from both 😍

[@UgljesaLukic]

somebody knows which rubbbers dima was used here

[@flaviushg4820]

What type of ball they are playing?thanks

[@Diuable]

golf ball

[@geligeleman89]

celluloid

[@kuchikibyakuya7697]

Are they playing ball

[@spaceinvader384]

They were celluloid but since July 1st 2014, ittf has replaced celluloid ball with plastic. Main reason being celluloid inflammability, a real hazard for cargo transport, especially on planes.

[@user-sj7bw6nx2x]

Timo ball

[@tarik20ua]

Зачем он при подаче ногой топает? Это как-то помогает?

[@user-zx4or8vz1i]

奥恰吃发球有点厉害

[@TheOlzee]

Wangs free arm looks suspect on his serves

[@peterbaran3764]

Great match, I´m missing these commentators, much better than affected screaming Bobrow.

[@user-rt8ky5bv4s]

Овчаров орет как девочка ...

[@zajtsohmoob3232]

Poor Wang.

[@kuchikibyakuya7697]

Fuck u

[@user-xu9ek7mm4y]

У Вань Хао примитивная подача, сегодня круче подают

[@tallman862713]

one of the worst performance from wang hao in my opinion...

[@linus1973]

He relied too much on RPB, didn't play out his actual strength which is still forehand, and Dimitrij Ovtcharov happens to be a backhand dominant player.

[@stephendemoss8435]

Never seen wang hao play as bad as he did in this match

[@dga199]

У чау -чау нет шансов против овчарки.

[@samuelrussel9843]

and then Wang retires hahahaha can't handle a lil heat!!
