You are the luckiest spectator to see this match live as a match like this would never ever be played again where two legends of the game put in their best effort of their whole career to win. I have played Table Tennis at National Level and i am a fan of Ma Long. Could you please tell me where was this match played ?

[@KEmil-zl7xp]

@@AnilSharma-sp7us This match was the Final of the WTTC 2017 in Düsseldorf, Germany

[@AnilSharma-sp7us]

@@KEmil-zl7xp Thanks a lot for your reply. Please tell us more about your experience as a spectator of this match. Whom did the crowd support more in the match etc ?

[@KEmil-zl7xp]

@@AnilSharma-sp7us I can't really tell which player got more sympathy from the spectators. The general feeling was that people anticipated the clash of the two best players and were looking forward to it. I was there with my local club mates and if I remember correctly most of them were in favour of Fan Zhendong but just for the reason that he was younger and some kind of a challenger. I was a bit more in favour of ML. But it really did not play a big role which player you liked more, as the quality of the match was so high. I would reckon the atmosphere was extraordinary for a table tennis contest. There were laolas, feet stomping and people were quite excited. The whole infrastructure was great. If you were lucky, you could approach the players on the way to the court or meet them when they walked through the hall. I made a photo with one of my favourite players (Masataka Morizono). We spent a few days in Düsseldorf and it was a really nice trip with my club. I hope we can do this again one day, but you know how things are right now... Sorry for the late answer, I intended to reply faster but then forgot about it... :P Only realized it now that I came back to watch the match once again. Have a great time playing and watching table tennis and stay well!

This is crazy gameplay...i think no one can be that level in this era...so satisfying to watch tbh honest

[@Independent_Man3]

Fan Zhendong had more than his fair share of disappointments early in life. I am happy that he went on to win two back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2023!

he wasn't banking on it tho. he was prepared to go crosscourt as well in that last shot.

[@123456789santia]

OMG!

[@agamgoel9763]

I will give this the" best table tennis match of all times" award. Truly phenomenal

[@samlinder307]

Ma Long is the greatest male table tennis player in the Olympic Era. With all due respect to Zhang Jike, Waldner, and all other candidates, the Dragon's last two years may never be replicated again. He defines dominance.

[@SilentArc]

Sam Linder my buddy Brian scalabrine can win 2 Olympic medals in 7 years

[@jozo9901]

The Chinese say that Lǎo Wǎ is The Greatest.

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

Sam Linder I agree I don't see anyone duplicating his performance in the future and I don't see him slowing down anytime soon dare I say he may be the first to complete a double grandslam!

[@SilentArc]

Jozo they say that out of modesty. If you watch his performance now, it's slow and the modern player has enough footwork and tactics to make Waldners blocks useless

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

SEAL team Ricks Waldner's blocks with the new balls wouldn't really affect much especially not the Chinese players, his use of other players spin was one of his specialties.

[@ateksudianto6237]

The best ITTF Official higlight I have ever seen... anyway, congrats to my captain long

[@daFlox]

1:55 insane backhand duel...amazing!

[@ALCACHOFINI]

Even though the 2015 match between ma long and fang bo had better rallies, this is the match with the highest level of table tennis I have ever seen. Also the most exciting one. Definitely, Ma long is the best player of all time or at least of the modern table tennis.

[@user-cx5sx9zz6l]

table tennis development trend is going to power and speed，this is the any of sport development trend too，like tennis，

[@reneesun4779]

Ma Long is a true gentleman. He always shares the honor with the final opponent（usually his Chinese teammate），which is respectable！

[@zy932]

It is a kind of tradition for Chinese tt players.

[@avinashsorab5026]

Ma Long and Fan Zhendong playing against each other is like looking at 2 dragons fight. The best thing that happened to the history of table tennis :)

[@Raghuveer2798]

Easily one of the greatest matches in TT history

[@Nebulae8]

Saw the match live. I was on edge. only can imagine what Fan and Ma were feeling. Good highlight. But we need to change the viewing angle.

[@danklim7604]

it was good, why didn't you like it?

[@epic1053]

@@danklim7604 This viewing angle does not allow you to appreciate the movement of table tennis players. The camera is too far away kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnTMgYWcicyJgsk Watch this video to see the difference that a good camera angle can make, despite the lower quality of the video you can appreciate the quick movement of the players and the spin being generated. Though this video is still very good due to the high quality a better camera angle would have made it even better.

[@amaka52]

In the interview, FZD can not control his tears fall down, but pretend that he is not crying and kept talking, which makes it so cute. I wish ITTF would upload that interview.

I remember 10 years ago watching Ma Lin/WLQ matches and thinking how far that have pushed the limit of whats humanly possible. Now, this is a whole other level of fitness, agility and mental stamina. What will we see in 10 years ?It is mind boggling!

[@user-wz6ux6gm5m]

yessssssss，this is what I am in Top comment said，Ma Long and FZD take table tennis into another level，this 2 guys is not human being，

[@ATP980]

eddie huang and harimoto, at 14 has beaten both. once he can consistently win, I think the impossible will become ordinary.

[@pinco_pallo]

This is tablet tennis! *THIS IS WHAT WE REALLY DO LOVE!!!* Ma Long and Fan Zhendong are two great champions, their skills are amazing, their power is impressive, but the champion of the champions is our red dragon, Ma Long! He won winning only 4 points more than Fan Zhendong: this is the evidence they're two fantastic table tennis players. I love this sport and I love this incredible match.

[@whoiswer]

Throughout the previous matches Fan looked in top form and i was thinking it was his time. Last game thought, yeah he's got it.. but damn Ma is a beast and so focused.. What a great game! Best final ever.

[@fiuza78]

Janus has so many matches in full HD on his channel. The full content is there. Someone just need to talk to him and ask to do the short version. Anyway, I think ITTF has plans to sell all videos in the future. It will be hard for them to sell if everything is uploaded in best quality. It's something like free version x premium version.
