[@cwang1985]

Since this match, Hao Shuai has been famous for not good at returning high balls

[@moinlakhani3139]

Chang Wang bro MM is best in lob

[@jonneville2287]

And getting whacked in the head by the Chinese coach!

[@efegokmen]

I actually regard this match as the greatest of all time in terms of emotion and tactics. It stuns me each time I watch it.

[@efegokmen]

I suspect that one dislike is from Hao Shuai himself.

[@velekorunoski5997]

+Doruk Efe Gökmen It actually is from Hao Shuai

A great match, I was the main referee of that match, the experience was great. Greetings

Really???? U don't lie??? Marco u lie.

[@ryandcushman]

I love how the coach for maze was literally shaking ... could barely drink his water bottle

[@velekorunoski5997]

One of my more favourite coaches i have ever seen

[@deepazure]

Peter Sartz, Swedish trainer for the Danish men for many many years. He produced the best results for the Danish men of all time.

[@OEMM71]

How can we possibly forget such a comeback! Beautiful and inspiring.

Some say the offspring of hao shuai and michael maze is called how amazing

[@HarryWizard]

[@Daud72]

HAO a MAZE ing is this?

[@vfyt4509]

Tyo 72 Underated comment.

[@kwiekje]

he is a-MAZE-ing !

[@TornadoFace]

If you enjoy any sport at all - if you believe in the human spirit and the willingness to keep one's head up and continue against impossible odds - there's no way you don't become emotional watching this match. If you don't cry at the final match winner, you're not human.

[@PhongNguyen-wg8ff]

6:29 nobody could predict what would happen next

[@wirus32120]

The best 13 minutes of TT which I saw on YT! 5*

[@chimyshark]

I won my first ever trophy in 2012 because in the semifinals, my opponent was up 2-0 and 10-6 in the 3rd game, but then I Michael Mazed my way to the finals.

[@velekorunoski5997]

6:34 8:33 11:05 Best points in the match! I love watching them!

[@allancnc]

This is an aMAZEing comeback, i am sorry that Michael is not competing any more.

[@polskagranica]

The BEST. THE GREATEST THE BEST MATCH IN ALL HISTORY TABLE TENNIS GAMES

[@molaertmolart3058]

YEAH BUT ?????? TOO MUCH QUESTIONS FOR ME HAO SWAI HAS STOPPING TO PLLAY AT 3-0 AND WHY WE ARE NOT SEE AGAIN AO SHWAI IN THE CHINA SELECTION

[@ajano4748]

Maze knew the Shia's weakness, shia was always error in Lob Ball. Set 4 and then, maze gave lob ball. Amazing Tactic What a great comeback!

[@zencosuzuki8496]

Michael Maze forever.

[@notaboxofjuice]

Shuai got so impatient with his strokes and his receives were terrible. Michael Maze, nerves of steel.

[@pierrotixa5911]

[@molaertmolart3058]

HAO SHUAI HAD LET MAZE PASS UNDER THE INJUNCTION OF HIS COACH AS EVERYONE CAN SEE HAO COMPLETELY STOPPED PLAYING AFTER THE TIMEOUT REQUESTED BY HIS COACH WHEN HE DID NOT NEED IT AT THIS STAGE

[@rehi3227]

Sehr gut, ein Hoch der Ballonabwehr.

[@purpose6113]

Good times when there was celluloid ball. Wish they brought it back

[@VANSbeingused]

at his prime he could beat Timo even with his left hand :D

[@gustavmardby9364]

i bet the set numbers wasnt actually there. you put them there right?

[@ottoparts789]

Maze found Shiau's one weakness: smashing high balls

[@0009ev]

amazzzzzzzzzzing maze супер!!!!

Which round?

[@ThePerfectionisTT]

it was the quarterfinal :)

[@dimashevchenko1360]

Poor Hao he had Maze on the floor and a matchpoint. Easier to lay it over

[@AdairFelizardo]

Que jogo incrível!!!

[@user-hm6or3fh9i]

Statist game.

[@kaizhangtabletennis]

Yes, be aMAZEd by maze!

[@thecatmeows1625]

Comeback starts at 6:30. Down 3-0 in sets and 10-7 in the 4th set.

[@ThePerfectionisTT]

Yes

[@Erick-fx3eb]

6:57 is a point at 99.99% but this time wasn't enough and that moment change the match course.

[@SouthRapids]

CHAOW!!!

[@user-ff4yn2rt3q]

6:58　このショットからハオサイの人生は転落していったと思う。そしてメイスは中国人コーチを取り入れて成長していった。 ハオサイがロビング打ち苦手なのはこの時まで中国がロビング打ちに練習を割いてなかったからなのと、水谷隼さんと同じく右利きだけど左手でプレーをしているからだと思う。

[@user-hv7om9jc8n]

это было сильно !

Imagine maze after that beat malin & wang liqin 😳

TCHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@user-uc2yl4dn3c]

Нашёл минус

[@johnnylanderos7067]

wow maze got so lucky

[@xuyunlong8906]

I don't think this is luck. I think Michael Maze and his coach found the weakness of Shuai Hao and made great tactics. In set 1,2 and 3, we can see Hao can't handle Maze's lobs and Maze got several points from that. In the 'final' stage of the match, this tactics worked again and Hao's confidence collapsed. Maybe the lob tactics didn't win the match for Maze. The confidence balance is the real reason.

[@animefan7424]

x yl maze seemed so relaxed and Hao seemed under pressure

[@alicanyucebyk797]

12.48 that was a chivalrous fair play move

[@sergioaguilar2908]

nasty shake hands with chinese coach

[@travelator3035]

Maze really destroyed Hao Shuai’s table tennis career in this match. Because of this match, Hao could never rise up to become a great player.

[@ahmedbinzahid3695]

HAO come he lost it? Truly aMAZEd!

[@chrisx8292]

Then next game Ma Lin schooled Maze

this is the game that ruined hao shuai career. he was demoted to the B team in china.

[@lulumink0]

Lobbing killed him. Hao go home and practice your smashing techniques.

[@danieloctavioavilez8375]

Can some one explain to me how people say Michael maze is one of the best servers he has a really good serve. I don't get it just seems like a regular old pendulum serve?

[@pudi5858]

you really need a hd closeip slowmo to see how he puts spin on the ball + he has very good placement

[@daejoons1012]

Daniel Octavio Avilez all of his serves are reverse pendulum, but they're loaded with spin and are expertly placed. Hao struggled with controlling them and that set up the points for maze

[@Zotzel]

@@daejoons1012 nah he also served normal pendulum serves

[@daveyork0]

Racial triumph. Amazing

[@supernova20]

all those obnoxious chos for naught, lol

[@Galimah]

Bah, way too easy for the danish player.

[@Elayo2006torres]

que mal triunfo... maze es todo lo que un tenismesista no quisiera ser... aclaro: a nivel tecnico deportivo.

[@LeaLMartin]

No exageres, tené en cuenta la fecha en que se jugo. En esa época, no se sabia hacer smash. jaja.

[@LeaLMartin]

eso porque no las saben dejar o quieren hacer espectaculo y le sale mal.... pero vos tambien sos un super ignorante (vah, sin super ofender tambien, jeje) de que te sirve saber todo esa tonta historia si, luego vas y perdes como si nada? Te dejo pensando... aunque sepas todo eso, yo ya lo sabia tambien y estaba bromeando. pero como vos sos ignorante tambien, solo aparentas que sabes algo, y todavia te atreves a hacerte el bueno en tu ping pong ... jejejeje.
