[@SimonNordlow]

Table tennis needs VAR becuase that edge/side ball was really tough to tell. Maybe it was side but it should have been shown on a display for the player when disagreements happens.

[@Picnuts]

Why didn't they show it in slow-mo? Over a dozen cameras, and they spent no time analyzing the shot. I think it hit the side but still...

[@maloghurst2741]

The ball was definitely edge. If the ball hit side it would have went down at almost the same angle. Nearly vertical. He was parallel with the edge and the ball came out at an angle.

[@Picnuts]

@@maloghurst2741 I've watched it many times and still can't tell. This is the world championships and the ruling should have been conclusive. I can't understand why they didn't show it close-up. It was a shit call because of that.

[@genec390]

I watched it a dozen times in 0.25 speed and it could go either way. I think if the ball hit the table a couple more mms inside then trajectory would definitely indicate edge ball. The fact that it did hit straight down didn't help Eugene's case.

[@ani3327]

Eugene shouldn't win any game. Look at this guy, barely moving around the table and just trying to win easy points. It's a disaster if youngsters try to follow this playstyle where you put fitness level at your lowest priority. Look at Ma long in his Mid 30's moves like a 20 year old. Now, that's something to look up to.

That's a disaster type of playing. He was barely moving around the table and was crying for a point that was in the side of the table (even if it was an edge, that's not a point to be proud of). People who are crying here for his point are pathetic too. I'm glad that Ma long found his rhythm after the first match and crushed him the proper way. Ma long in his mid 30's, still moves like a 20 year old👏🏼 Now that's something to look up to, not the other guy's lazy style of playing😒

We need 2 umpires for Table Tennis game because that edge ball really robbed Eugene in the first game and affects his morale in the other games.

[@WayneGretzky-]

or a replay system on the tablet next to the umpire. the game is broadcasted on different angles.

[@xonx209]

How about putting a shock absorbing material on the side of the table? This way if the ball hits the side, it would not bounce off but drop to the ground.

[@HumbleBearcat]

On the 2nd slow motion reply for the edge ball it showed that the ball touched the edge very thin @11.16.

[@JW-bx4su]

It is more a side ball than an edge ball to me. Because the edge ball is usually bounced back higher and side ball just changes its direction.

[@esmolol4091]

considering the angle I would argue, that it was more likely the side. He hit the ball already on the outside of the sideline, and not from the inside as he tried to claim. He might thought to be right, due to his hand motion. At least he didn't create too much drama around it.

[@mrkennytien]

I watched this point more than 20 times. This is a very tough call for the umpire to make the decision. I myself after watching this rally many many times over and over, I would said this is the "SIDE". I watched this video the first time I think it was more likely the "EDGE". When I reviewed many many times and I would said this is still "SIDE". By the way, there is nothing Ma Long can say...! But I heard the sport commentator said "Ma Long did not say anything..???" and "He did not confess...???" Ma Long has no responsible for the decision...That meant if the umpire called this is an "EDGE", Ma Long could has accept the call.

[@geraldsmith7401]

My question is. It was hit in line with the table's line. If you drop a ball from on top of the table near the edge, to hit the side, the ball will fall straight down. If any curve of the ball hits, the ball will divert to the side. Did this ball not divert??

[@acousticdoodling4765]

looks like a side to me

[@ultimaice]

Umpires shouldn't be calling these sorts of points. Let the players play and if there's a dispute they can make a ruling at that point.

[@peters9793]

That is really an edge for Eugene Wang. That is a point for Eugene Wang. The ball clearly redirected the trajectory when it hit the table.T

[@jchanmcse]

It looks more on the Side not the Edge if you use 0.25 slow motion speed to see it.

[@ani3327]

He shouldn't win any game. He is a lazy, fat player who is trying to win easy points. He needs to improve his conditioning and fitness and then come back. It's a disaster for youngsters to follow this style of playing where you put fitness in the lowest priority. Look at Ma long, in his mid 30's and still fit like in his 20's.

[@edy6002]

he was always chubby and that is his style of playing. He was and is one of the top North American players. BTW, he is 37 or 38 years old.

[@ani3327]

​@Ed Y He is chubby, that's not the problem. Problem is he was barely moving around the table. Wang hao was chubby too but way more active around the table and had good fitness. This guy moves like he just got off his couch and crying for a point that was on the side of the table (Even if it was an edge, that's not a point to be proud for). People who are crying here for his point are pathetic too. I'm glad that Ma long found his rhythm after first round and crushed him the proper way.

[@Jeovaunihunter]

@@ani3327 You’re making me laugh hard with your comments.😂😂😂😂😂 every single Table Tennis player has their preferred way to play, maybe he doesn’t want fitness and conditioning, that doesn’t mean laziness. He still managed to keep up with a high in the world ranked player through round 1 and I believe he would have done much better if it wasn’t for the side or edge ball point that probably messed up his flow mentally

[@frisch-gezapft]

Imagine how good Eugene would be had he the fitness of Ma Long.

[@rockyshi9609]

我不认为马龙会看到擦边不说，各位自己去搜索一下就知道马龙不是一次两次主动向裁判表示应该对面得分了，这里马龙没有说话只是因为从他的角度看不到球的走向，尊重裁判的决定而已。王和马龙之间实力差距太大，就算第一局让给王也不会对结果造成任何的影响，所以不要在这里用自己狭隘的思维说什么马龙“偷了”这一分

[@olumideadebayo5897]

I read ur comment in English so Google should be able to give u mine in Chinese. Have u heard about Upsets. Would u have predicted Hugo Calderano's early exit. Arguably his skill gap from his opponent's must be even wider than Ma Long's.

[@ani3327]

​@Olumide Adebayo Ma long just couldn't find proper rhythm in the first game, when he found it then it was all over. The other guy's playing style is unathletic if you ask me, barely moving from the centre of the table.

就算王不够马龙打，但这分就是擦边球

[@user-ch7bs1ix4y]

​@@weiyinggan5405 球台外侧击球，如果是edge，碰撞后，这个球起码应该有往球台上方运动的速度分量。显然这是一个side

[@princeofsolomon3231]

That edge was stolen from Eugene. I was disappointed that the announcers were not truthful in their take on the point, no guts. I played it back at .25 speed via youtube and it was clearly an edge plus the ball went in a different direction after it touched. That affected him mentally afterwards for sure.

[@NoneofyourBusiness-ii1ps]

10:30 commentator doesn't know the rule amazing... If you're hitting the ball from the outside of the table, then the ball has to bounce UP, otherwise it's counted as hitting the side and you lose the point.

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

The ball initially hit the net. I would speculate that to hit the net first and then the side of the table is extremely improbable. The umpire should have sided with Eugene.

[@kang_min_nal_ra]

You realize that the ball can hit the edge and still go partially down? It can bounce anywhere between up, down and anything in between (to the side that is) depending on how thin the contact was

[@HumbleBearcat]

@@kang_min_nal_ra That is absolutely correct! The contact was so thin and the ball went down. Plus the fact that the angle where the ball came from was almost straight behind the line, with an inside-out curving ball, there is no way it could've hit the edge.

[@meys57]

@@kang_min_nal_ra when the ball coming from from the same side it is impossible to go down ... if it hits the top of the table it will bounce up or side and up but not down that is not a possible scenario. And by the way I personally think that most of the edge balls from the same side should be considered side because they are unfair in their nature. Specially when there is a doubt about them. The above example is not even a doubt from my understanding. I am happy to see what is the reasons how a ball can hit the top from the same side and then it goes down and not bounce
