This match is going to make history, in a few years we will look back and say this was one of the best matches ever

比决赛好看多了

[@triplebig]

My heart can't take this match! Wow! WTT, please, please, please show the handshake. Especially on a match like this. Cmon

[@phamster18]

totally agree .. why no hand shake and pan around for crowd satisfaction? crazy bad edit ! the players put it all out there... and you don't show how successful the production of crowd cheering and climax? Amateur Hour again...

[@davesplatz]

@@phamster18 True, they ended the clip before the hand shake could be shown, yet, I think, the edit is quite good compared to works from months ago. They are getting better at catching the spirit of table tennis. I am just wishing for an angle like the one in the Russian league; like the ball kid perspective, but a little elevated. I would love to see table tennis on this level like that. INSANE MATCH, by the way!!

[@Someone_Apparently]

Yes, the championship is a whole lot more than just a result. To the editors, just for another minute or two, where is your sense of humanity?

[@camdenstewarts]

match of the year

[@sheyooo]

This was 48 minutes of absolutely beautiful table tennis 💫💥

[@donalddouglas7643]

Harri is so much fun to watch his energy and personality he brings excitement to table tennis

[@VLangLong]

Harimoto is a nice guy. He smiles even when he's defeated or lost a point. At 22:55, Lin played a very strong backhand and won the point, Harimoto still smiled.

[@milan9191]

Yes many people misinterpret Harimoto's intensity and passion for bad sportsmanship but that's incorrect. He is very gracious both in victory and in defeat.

[@somaticHuman]

I think he's smiling because Lin is mad.😄

[@SamuelMarcatto]

This game was fire. Table tennis in its essence

[@rajdxmusic]

This match is going to be remembered for generations, it is such a brilliant fight by Tomokazu & to win back against Lin Shidong , reminds a wonderful match earlier Ma Long vs Xu Xin . Every shot & every point there is a story & excitement…. Congratulations! Tomokazu / Japan . ❤️❤️

[@TheDsamohin]

incredible terrific tennis!!! it's gonna be in history...

[@amaurybuffet6537]

My heart is at peace knowing I've seen the best match ever Thanks guys ♥️

[@Amsfxyz]

The speed of rallies was just insane, both backhand and forehand. Both players playing at such a high level. Harimoto really elevated his game after losing the first two games. It’s crazy how often he’s in the middle of some of the closest and most amazing matches (vs FZD in Paris), good to see him end up on the winning side this time after some bad heartbreaks.

[@halelus07]

say what u want about harimoto, he screams alot yes, but the guy has incredible manners and is a very good sport. such a great guy and an incredible fighting spirit

[@andressanascimento7364]

What a game OMG The match of the year

[@alejandrocastro-zb2ru]

I am speechless, simply top-notch TT. ❤❤

[@LimoneneDaddy]

Hate him or love him... harimoto thrives on his confidence and once he gets going, he's pretty much unstoppable.. all of us saw it 2 or years ago but now he has more skill and power.

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

Excellent match. Fun to watch. Good entertainment too.

[@dariogutierrez6716]

harimoto gave everything he had this Finals. respect

[@thedesertexplorer8337]

Table tennis OUT OF THIS WORLD 👏👏👏

[@tampabaytabletennis]

While we may question his serves, Lin Shidong was definitely a good sport there at 3-3 8-8... and he pulled off a Ma Long backhand fake push pancake flip down the line shortly after... and Harimoto still manages to win... Unbelievable match!

[@amagirizero694]

It's a extremely tight match lol, both of them played exceptionally well but Harimoto's consistency and mentality was on another level, he managed to win even though his opponent reached the match point first

[@213redwolf]

Харимото красавчик, такой матч вытянул!!!🎉🎉🎉

Awesome match! Simply epic

[@maroked]

46:44 incredible point... so much skill.

[@denisliske8855]

I love to see the different expressions from japanese players. I think they have like some strategy to smile in stressful situations. You can clearly see that with Hina Hayata too. Some fresh air in this competetive environment to see, that players are able to smile off the stress.

[@mauramvar845]

After watching Harimoto 2nd set, I was wondering how this match is going to last 47:58 minutes

[@raitgainullin490]

Fight of the year 💪

[@Veroroudoudou]

Super Harimoto !! Kaméhaméha !! 🏓🇯🇵🔥

[@Moonymanman]

It is setbacks and losses like this that will help LSD grow and build up winning experience as well as mental toughness. What a valuable lesson for this brilliant 19-year-old.

[@leechuang9630]

Awesome match for Semi Final !! Thank you to both for such high performance! This match can easily be one of the best in ping-pong history!! Cheers!😎

[@Dokutonninja]

What an incredible rally at the end there, both sides playing and making shots that were just next level.

[@abhzee83]

One of the best matches.

At 18:48 stop ilegal serve plz ur good enough, no need to get adventage by this way

[@frankwingbermuehle6110]

lin loses a match, a rare moment, great for harimoto.

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Crazy energy from Harimoto! Lin Shidong honestly needs a rest, does the Chinese team want to burn him out? He played like a genius but was missing the last bit of energy, freshness and ability to get to the ball when Harimoto attacked hard. Harimoto could also take inspiration from having beaten Lin earlier this year. Lin really should go back to Hainan and lie on a beach for week.

[@338-p5e]

Why we don't know in the title of the video(or in the description below) if it is a semi-final, a final or other????????

[@carlosa5590]

In the title of the video: “MS”= Mens single, “SF”= semifinal

[@KryptonPlanet]

In the title, it says "MS- SM".

[@unity-ru1rf]

How is it 2-2 at 25 mimutes in??

[@Hydadventures]

Wtf no fault called in Lin serves, no yellow card after throwing away the ball... Seems like Lin was getting some benefits from the umpires

[@jimmyfox]

Next, Tomokazu just has to find a way to break dirty Wang's foul serve

[@benthekeeshond545]

You are being a hater!

[@truberthefighter9256]

​@@benthekeeshond545 The issue with Wang's serves is evident.

[@horstfilet9362]

Everyone hides their serves. Not just Wang

[@ktobey3983]

Plus, rules are not very clear and enforced

[@charlotteArvin]

@@horstfilet9362 You can't make wang innocent by coloring everyone black.

[@Independent_Man3]

Lin Shidong, the cheater with illegal serves. Harimoto had to play the best table tennis of his life to defeat him.

[@benthekeeshond545]

Where is Fan Zhendong?

[@ToDDHeaDD]

You mean Fan Zhendong the Olympic Gold medalist and World Champion? What would he care about some random WTT event?

[@spaceinvader384]

Guess the Chinese authority is playing younger generations (LSD, XP etc) to gain experience on this level to take over from FZD, ML and XX. Sad to see those legends go. They ARE immortal G.O.A.Ts. WTT is commercialized and staging too many comp's, not letting players to rest. After many years, now I can see the strategies behind them besides top skills. Just have to study and play it to get it. Newbies and nobodies will find it hard to understand.

[@bikeman3103]

If tomorrow result is no good, FSD will be invited to attend coming game

Je n'arrive plus supporter à chaque point les encouragements du coach de Lin. Il me tape sur les nerfs ! Harimoto a cramé un maximum d'influx nerveux durant cette demi-finale. Pas étonnant qu'il soit cuit pour la finale.

I can't believe harri could win the match 😅😅

[@ausjimooo3695]

张本最强的是反手，不怕林的力量和旋转，速度也比林快！林却一直打张本的反手！不知林的问题还是教练的问题！教练也应该让林象张本那样吼一吼！林明显受到了张本的撕吼和各种小动作的影响！林的心态是个问题！技术上林很象刚出道时的樊振东，但心态差了不少！要有对方硬我比你还硬，一定要扛死你打穿你的心态！

[@fxxk633]

你双标啊！💦你没听见林每次发球之前先喊好几声霍、霍、霍、嘿、嘿、霍嘿...吗？

[@jmpeax3596]

Bobrow or no - the commentary gets annoying after a while

[@bryanwells4063]

I like it as long as it's not Frazier. He is definitely a bit annoying

[@Alexander3487]

I look forward to a time when Adam Bovrow won't ruin games with his useless, absurd, and unfunny comments.

[@bryanwells4063]

Are you crazy? Watch the highlight reels or mute it if you don't want to hear him. Borrow is at least better than Frazier, he has some tactical knowledge to add while being entertaining and fun. How can you dislike his commentary?

[@Amsfxyz]

Agree, gets annoying after a while. Lot of superfluous remarks.

[@xonx209]

Some day you will be able to replace the commentary with an AI with user selectable options. E.g. neutral commentary, or biased one side; verbose or terse, technical or beginner friendly, etc.
