FULL MATCH | LIN Shidong vs FAN Zhendong | MS R32 |

[@Independent_Man3]

Lin Shidong is severely underrated. This is the second time he beat Fan Zhendong. He also beat Liang Jingkun 3-0 two months ago. He was the only one at WTT Star Contender Doha who took 2 games off of Wang Chuqin. The Chinese coaches should put him in the Chinese national team to give him more exposure; he needs to be developed ASAP to replace the old guys like Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan.

[@druidzown]

HAHA LGY is an old guy?

[@КексКексов-ж7е]

Это договорной матч

[@danieljablecki]

LS will replace Ma Long after olimpics i think

[@michikatsutsugikuni3098]

Ma long is performing better than lin gaoyuan and fan zhendong against foreign players rn (except that loss against franziska now).

[@Valeria-qb8if]

Lately MaLong lost quite a number of matches against different players ​@@michikatsutsugikuni3098

[@michikatsutsugikuni3098]

Unbelievable game from lin. Fzd didn't just play bad or anything, it was just that lsd completely overpowered him. Not sure if any other player stands a chance against him rn if he continues to play like this. Maybe wang chuqin. But only bc of experience.

[@xiaosongwu6744]

Lin knows Fed’s game too well, if you look closely, in the middle of backhand rally, Lin could precisely anticipate Fzd’s timing of stepping aside to hit forehand, and Lin would hit Fzd’s forehand. By that time, Fzd’s momentum made him impossible to move back. It’s a play again and again. Amazing!

[@DomDiDomDom-ql9rw]

Fan seems a bit exhausted there, normally he is the most explosive one if it comes to reactions. Im wondering how long you can hold on to such a playstyle without any complications or bad effeckts to your Body. To me ShaoPang is the "MostExplosiveAllTime", next to the "GOAT". 😁 But yeah, we just witnessed some rly good Backhandplay fro LSD there, with no time to react.

[@pingsunday]

Lin Shidong's backhand is so fast. Could he be the next Fan Zhendong in the future?

[@eshizhamsuev]

I think yes. He is amazing

[@leahliu7139]

They have a lot in common, you know. Hey, wait aren’t you the one who posts those cool ping pong 🏓 videos?

@@leahliu7139 yes, nice to meet you

[@mohamedsaidi6089]

Name: Lin Shidong. Job: Fan Zhen Dong

[@quasarleon4645]

These backhand shots from Lin right to the end of the table's corners are ridiculous ..

[@AliAbidalkareem]

Ikr, devastating shots.

[@linzhg78]

Lin’s BH is more like Zhang Jike. Such small action can generate so much explosive force.

[@r.h.4577]

The next chinese big player!👌👋👋

[@jackzhu7875]

[@SilentlyWe]

Crazy game from Lin Shidong - And the commentators sounded like they couldn't be more bored! If it was Felix Lebrun, they would be out of their fucking minds at the potential, but because it's Lin Shidong, they were quiet the entire time at this HUGE upset

[@賴志偉-d7h]

Because it isn't a Chinese defeat and they are anti-China.

[@TobyShorin]

they did this already when he had his breakout game and it was really annoying

[@listrahtes]

Incredible looking back at this, after Timo dismantled Shidong with his high iq game. I honestly thought Shidong would blast Timo 3:0 but instead I had to learn how impactful an intelligent game can be.

[@nereizn1]

Did the umpire confuse Fan and Lin. What was going on at the beginning of second set?!

[@chaohuang2440]

The two players should wear different colors, so the umpire and audience would not be confused.

[@ChillyPNDA]

Yes i thought i Was the one getting wrong

[@passion_for_physics]

they thought zhengdong should be the winner

[@mitchy98]

This game shows the depth of the Chinese squad

[@賴志偉-d7h]

Which is why I rolled my eyes whenever someone says "in the furure XXX will be a problem for Chinese players" as if the world stands still and there won't be new Chinese players.

[@DSKHo1968]

Only from afar! As they have a similar build, though FZD is bigger but from afar with the same shirt and the camera panned out, you can only tell the difference by their haircut!😅

[@frankwingbermuehle6110]

great backhand, what a speed, amazing!

[@zzzthaoster]

It's ok Fan. We know it's not easy to always be at the top of your game. Besides, these younger players are getting better and better too.

[@peterwong133]

Fan clearly had an “off” day. Well he’s only human like all of us.

[@Independent_Man3]

19:49 "Lion King losing to lion cub" lol

[@DSKHo1968]

Did you catch what that's a reference to? Singapore is known as the Lion City, and FDZ has never lost a match in the Singapore Smash since its inauguration, hence the "Lion King"!

[@fatihkalaycı74]

Lin Shidong efsaneleri birer birer yeniyor ma long , fan zhendog... ters hızlı vuruşları servisleri karşılaması top spinleri çok başarılı. İleride lin uzun süre masa tenisi krallığına oturabilir.Tebrikler lin shidong bu yaşta bu başarı...

[@flagella1337]

Snappy and explosive BH from Lin is something to be feared.

[@fardudezilla]

tough draw for FAN, this should've been a quarter final or a later match

What was going on with the scoreboard on game 2. The point was given to the wrong player?

[@borisbello7228]

Increible!!!!

[@werner_m]

Lin Fan 7:2 in the second game, but 2:7 is shown! Do you not use a system, where the inputs of the umpire are shown on the screen? This mistake is not the first one in Singapour.

[@Furansowakun]

Impressive match point

[@Independent_Man3]

Wang Chuqin vs Lin Shidong is the new Ma Long vs Fan Zhendong.

[@MondoigtdanstonQ]

Une démonstration.... J'ai senti FZD constamment sur les talons, toujours pris de vitesse ou à contre-pied ! Ça n'était pas son jour.

phenomenal

No celebrtion after point ? 👏🏻😁👍🏻

[@TECHQHD]

In The Second Game - The score of FZD and LSD has been reversed??

[@michikatsutsugikuni3098]

They fixed it at like the 7th point

[@lahancodon]

LSD's backhand is illegal.

[@juliuspeters1]

It would be ridiculous if LSD doesn't get included in team event at Olympics. I understand there is no way they would exclude MaLong, but they could easily sacrifice LGY

[@shikhararora5199]

Ma long on his current performance is definitely not playing in Olympics. Wang Chuqin is currently the best player, he will be probably play in olympics and maybe Fan zhendong

[@cgonzalezcon]

His loss to Franziska was the final nail@@shikhararora5199

[@juliuspeters1]

@@shikhararora5199 I was talking about the team event, not singles. When it comes to MaLong, the decision will clearly be made not only based on his performance. As long as he has no injury, he will 100% be a part of the team, no matter how he performs in the remaining events. So there are 4 spots remaining. FZD and WCQ are out of question. That leaves us with LJK, LGY and LSD - 3 people for 2 remaining spots on the team. I personally would eliminate LGY.

He's being ruined by injuries he's had two recently. I worry it might now kill off his career and he will never reach the heights he could of

@@samuelnicholson7905 do we know if he is injured currently or is he just being wary not to get injured again?

He is very far from his best level. Looks fat and slow compared to a few years ago. Not even bothered to loose. What’s wrong with him?

[@zzzthaoster]

Fan is not at his best. He's also a bit slow, not making many shots either. It's tought to always be at the top of your game in every tournament. He's just human.

[@TTDPocketRocket]

@@gthabut fat? His leg are tree trunks. Just a couple of weeks, he was on fire for china in the world team champs and didn't lose a single match. Not the same player here, could be an injury, who knows.

Shidong is like throwing stones from backhand. Too fast and strong backhand game.

[@Zilverminken]

Wow

[@philippe8481]

Whaou...

[@Independent_Man3]

Lin Shidong's serves are slightly illegal. The rule says that "the service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server's stationary free hand." The rule was made to prevent players from adding extra spin on the ball before the ball is hit. But Lin Shidong closes his fingers around the ball JUST BEFORE launching it in the air. Now this might just be a bad habit. I don't think he is actually adding extra spin on the ball.
