Alexis is playing just how I was dreaming to become, lots of trick serves, lots of trick shots. Watching his play is much entertaining than any other player ever. With more experience he will be a wizard. Ma long is Ma long. The GOAT!

[@abstractexchange5057]

No spectators. Liu Guolang, the chinese table tennis legend as player and coach, once said that he concerns about the popularity of table tennis more than the result of matches. Heavyweight balls are luring stupid stuff in table tennis. They make table tennis become bored with very few touches in every balls series, and with more offgame time, less long rallies, less visual athletic skills shows. The less touches in every ball series, the less ongame time, the more offgame time, and players lose more their time for offgame time to go to pick up balls. HEAVYWEIGHT BALLS MAKE TABLE TENNIS MANUFACTURER AND PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS TO BE POORER AND POORER, because heavyweight balls make table tennis extremely difficult to play amateur social games for new beginners. Thus majority of new beginners leave away from table tennis, and there be very few new beginners still keep playing table tennis (extremely difficult to play game for beginners). It requires few weeks of training for new beginners to reach minimal amateur levels to play amateur social games in other sport, for example in badminton, billards, .. . BUT IT REQUIRES FEW YEARS OF TRAINING FOR NEW BEGINNERS TO REACH MINIMAL AMATEUR LEVEL TO PLAY AMATEUR SOCIAL TABLE TENNIS GAMES. It is very stupid big time training requirement for beginners in table tennis, thus majority of new beinners just leave table tennis. I personally see much many real life cases today : private commercial table tennis club halls are revamped to become badminton club halls, because table tennis is extreme difficult to attract enough number of new beginners to get profit for running commercial table tennis clubs as commercial social sport services. If the commercial private table tennis halls have high ceils, then their owners often cancel table tennis club services to convert halls into commercial badminton club or other sport services halls to get profit, because there are very few new amateur table tennis players. The reason of stiff difficulty of table tennis for new beginners : heavyweight balls make table tennis to be extremely difficult for new beginners : they fly extremely lightening fast in air, and they are difficult to control for beginners. Lightweight balls make table tennis become extreme easier for new beginners : they fly slower in air, they are easier to control for beginners. With lightweight balls, every ball series will have more touches in average. Thus table tennis matches will have more ongame time and less offgame times, thus players have more ongame time. It is valuable ! Because amateur players pay their time to play table tennis matches for health and social fun/communication, thus the more offgame time, the less waste time for players ! Everyone can try lightweight balls, for example 2gr balls, to feel how extremely more easily to play table tennis for new beginners. The next balls of table tennis must be lightweight balls, for example, 2-2.5gr balls instead of the current 2.7gr balls. The result of lightweight balls will be staggering : there will be more billion new beginners come and keep playing table tennis with new lightweight balls of 2gr, because lightweight balls do not require stupid enormous few years of training to reach minimal amateur level to play amateur social table tennis game, but require only few weeks of training enough to play amateur social table tennis games. Of course, it leads to increadible big scale business of table tennis equipment manufacturers, it leads to increadible big number of table tennis audience of professional tournaments . Because new billion beginners will play and keep playing the easier version of table tennis with lightweight balls 2-2.5gram, but not the current stupid extreme difficult version of table tennis with heavyweight balls 2.7gram, thus they known playing table tennis as amateur players and once they known playing then they will have interest to watch table tennis tournaments. They will be billion one, once lightweight balls 2-2.5gram are applied in table tennis.

Alexis is so great! I just love his emotion! Only saw him recently. He does make a lot of unforced errors, and takes a lot of risky shots. But he is only 19 these errors will slowly start to go away with time. He just mixes up his game so much and that makes it so exciting. I look forward to following him!

[@yuu9258]

Yes, and once his errors are gone, he will become a more tactical player like fzd and become less exciting.

Alexis played well already but Ma Long played more versatily and has maintained a calm composure and appeared more maturely. Congrats to his win.

[@thehiddentruth22]

Fo many players, Ma Long must be an even tougher opponent to deal with than Fan Zhendong because he is even more shrewd and wiser player than Fan, let alone much more experienced. The top Chinese head-to-head competition against each other may not accurately reflect how good they really are because they know one another so well. So the competition between the Chinese and non-Chinese could be a more accurate measure of their real mettle.

[@blackmanwhitesuit]

I noticed this with Ma Long rarely putting his hand up with Alexis serving fast and basically countering all of Alexis unique shots. Then you remember the last guy to beat Ma Long, LYJ would have played Alexis. 🤔 Could have an interesting set of games coming up.

[@whitehorse199]

Exactly! Well said, and that was why people called Ma Long a GOAT!

Alexis a un excellent service et une balle très puissante, ce qui contribue à mettre une grosse pression aux meilleurs joueurs du monde car il est impossible à arrêter dans ses temps forts. Par contre il doit encore trouver la solution pour gérer ses temps faibles car ce n'est pas la première fois qu'il se fait remonter sur des sets. Lorsqu'il arrivera à faire ça, ça va faire mal !

[@karpet-kovrolin-runner]

Lebrun played very well, but in the last game he broke down at 7-5 in his favor. This became noticeable due to his attempts to take several points through variable serves. At the same time, he stopped power draws of the ball, and began to simply substitute the racket under the ball coming from the opponent. It seemed that his attempts to play on the right began to resemble the game of a novice player (hand only up, without turning the body). It's a pity we had to finish this match.
