Jorgic's tricks worked only in the first two games and then it was a fast skid for him. Ma Long may be past his prime but still hard to beat for almost all players.

[@botao4456]

That's why malong is a legend, totally nerves of steel

[@michaelshaw7652]

That was what a goat can do: even if things don't go well, still find ways to win.

[@jazsings]

Unbelievable how that second set broke Darko's Spirit...it really is such a psychological game

[@rcc4343]

Wide to the FH - Ma Long kryptonite. Reverse pendulum serve to the FH - Darko Jorgic kryptonite. 23:16 world's best crush FH in action.

[@flagella1337]

Once ML warms up to your style, you're done. Better win the first set and try to run with it.

[@HerrmannHinz]

impressive play by both players.

[@Kaspersky114a]

Jorgic obviously relied too much on BH, and he couldn't handle the forehand corner well enough. To beast ML one has to have no obvious weakness all around or it will definitely be exploited by the dragon.

[@r1t545]

European players all have excellent backhands, but their forehands are devastating Because all their coaches did too

[@robert-dr8569]

I am confident that if Ma Long keeps practicing, he still has a chance to win the next Olympics gold.

[@rcc4343]

I believe that every minute of his day is planned on that. Then he will have 3 world titles and 3 olympic golds...no one will ever be able to match that record.

[@ShamyTV5k]

absolutely , only thing that could make him not win is that he gets older and less hungry cause he won it all already

[@hawnt2r]

No way. It is not only because of him, being too old by that time, but also because of new players, who are becoming better and better. Harimoto, Lin Yun Ju, Alexis Lebrun, and last time, Wang Chuqin is a monster. He probably already won't have a chances to win next WTTC

[@Gauchoo1234]

Past his prime?

[@meetuptoyosu4945]

except a chinese fellows and Harimoto

[@rurban]

This was a good one

[@lagear3451]

Ма Long👍

[@calisthenicsnoob9990]

Ma long doesnt skip leg day

[@pukulu]

Ma Long totally dominated the 3rd and 4th games. Jorgic is very good but he got overpowered.

[@paullb2440]

Ma Long is a very composed player free from the almost Tourette-like compulsive “ticks” displayed by other players between points.

[@qaqtus68]

Да,у большого дракона не забалуешь!

[@75328041]

W8W ^^ Very Nice :DD

[@guillorynicolas2164]

Jorgic is really impressive.

[@GhanaTableTennis]

Darko let Ma Long out of the net. he was so dominant in the second only to lose for ma long to regain his confidence

[@azharalhatemi8511]

Ma is amazing

[@hangemhigh7069]

Darco had the centimeters not with him. Many times was Ma Long out in the forest!

[@symba-uo3os]

Is this tournament more important than last week?

[@kitito9562]

More price money and only the best players and even them needed to qualify, so I would sag yes

[@cdoodle9949]

The players also earn more world ranking points at the WTT Cup Finals compared to WTT Champions.

[@Mischgi]

Damn, that 2nd set, after that it was game over. If Darko would've led 2:0, who knows?

[@eddielong608]

That's a big IF?

[@Mischgi]

@@eddielong608 I don't know man, Darko obliterated Ma Long in the first two sets. I almost felt sorry for Ma Long because he seemed helpless and Darko was way too overpowering. Most people would've been crushed in that 2nd game and after that the 3rd game is definitely game over. And yet, Ma Long endured and persevered in that 2nd game, that is some miraculous shit if you ask me. But maybe not because he changed his serves and tactics and has mental strength above all else combined with loads of experience. After that the dragon is woken and it's game over for Jorgic. There's no coming back. I almost felt sorry for Darko starting with the 3rd set. Why couldn't he just close the deal in the 2nd set when he was way ahead? That question tormented and haunted him for sure. Very painful and frustrating match anyway

[@hellopleychess3190]

Darko Jorgic has had a poor psychological state, he got angry when they reached 9-9

[@iwannaknow_2423]

dragon lose game 1 only because not that familiar with DJ in the beginning

[@quantumeyes8546]

It's not a Darko's style. They are just small, petty tricks to get some points.

[@imemine246]

I’d second this. Where is Darko’s powerful backhand? So much use of unnecessary and weak “strawberries”.

[@sergiobraga8300]

Nunca vi ninguém fazer isso com Ma Long como esse Jorgic fez (primeiros sets), botou o chinês pra dançar e entortar a coluna...nem Xu Xin vi fazer isso com ele...! --- I've never seen anyone do that to Ma Long like this Jorgic did (first sets), he made the Chinese dance and bend his spine... not even Xu Xin saw him do that...! -- 我从没见过有人像Jorgic那样对马龙做过（第一组），他跳了中国舞，弯着脊梁……甚至许昕都没见过他这样做……！ Wǒ cóng méi jiànguò yǒurén xiàng Jorgic nàyàng duì mǎlóng zuòguò (dì yī zǔ), tā tiàole zhōngguó wǔ, wānzhe jǐliang……shènzhì xǔ xīn dōu méi jiànguò tā zhèyàng zuò……!

[@jerrywei7030]

Then you have not watched enough games. Many other players also gave Malong a hard time. Fan Zhendong, Zhang Jike, Wang Hao, Harimoto, just to name a few.

[@sergiobraga8300]

@@jerrywei7030 Já vi sim, me referia, como falei, nos primeiros sets, da forma q ele fez com Ma Long, realmente nunca vi, preste atenção, que eu falei, logo nos primeiros sets, os movimentos em que eu citei "quebrar coluna, entortar", realmente já assisti muitos jogos e nunca vi, nenhum desses que vc citou, fazer o mesmo >>> I've already seen it, I was referring, as I said, in the first sets, the way he did with Ma Long, I really never saw it, pay attention, I said, right in the first sets, the movements in which I mentioned "breaking the spine, bending ", I've actually watched many games and I've never seen, none of those you mentioned, do the same ....

MA Long

Ma long ITS oke

[@benchawes965]

Next time Jorgic you kick his ass. Amazing playing the first set!

[@wanzg]

Ha ha, good luck to him

[@r1t545]

Malong is still overwhelmingly strong. Only the same Chinese player can beat him, and players from other countries have no chance And when he retires, the next Chinese player will be ranked No. 1 in the world again. This trend has been going on for more than 10 years now, and it will not change in the future

[@carrrieho2043]

That's because table tennis is the national sport in China. Can you imagine US losing basketball to other countries? But I think there is still a chance for other countries to beat China, but maybe only a few times, and the occasional gold medal. China sees this sport as an act of pride and we have paid a lot.

[@samuelnicholson7905]

I believe in Moreguard 👀

Ma long has passed his prime time, not so strong anymore.

[@rafaelpaniagua3931]

Melhor de todos os tempos🏓

[@user-pz3ut2wu5f]

his role now is to show a good fighting model for his team young player and to ensure stability during team event , since the other two players are really inconsistent. Personal event is just for him to familiar with ourside players and keeping the fighting momentum… no other old player can do this accept him at the moment in China team..
