Lin Gaoyuan vs Mattias Falck | 2019 ITTF Qatar Open Highlights (1/2)

[@arthursouzalima4402]

Despite the result this is the best Mattias I´ve ever seen. Congrats to his great weekend.

[@cagsanozbek4210]

I think was better when playing with Harimoto.

[@napapanda5169]

Amazing. This is not table tennis, but war on the table.

[@pierredor6450]

I am shocked at how little intelligence, creativity and fine game elements reduce table tennis as a game to the basic and uninspired thrashing of the ball. It looked like training exercises, where the end of the rally came to an end on the second or at the latest the third ball. Pure gymnastics without playfulness and recognizable individualism. The days of interesting and creative TT are over. It is clear that there are players like Waldner, Persson, Grubba, Kreanga, Samsonov, Kong Linhui, Wang Liqin, Ma Lin and others will never give again. Today play only robots (with a few exceptions). The fault for the negative development of this sport lies with the players, the more so with the officials, new materials (plastic ball) and strange rules of the game, which are constantly renewed and changed. Actually a shame for the beautiful sport. I don't like table tennis in the form.

very close... amazing playing style for Falck. Congrats Lin

[@LutherBlissett94]

What an incredibly tense and high-class battle! Absolute world class

[@whatscreenname]

Falck got burned with that serve coming off the side of the table. That was Lin’s go to. He re-looped that thing like there was no tomorrow

[@LuisRodriguez-lk9nh]

Falck's mistake was that he looped Lin's serve several times to the same exact spot so Lin was already expecting that ball on his backhand. The one time Falck looped Lin's serve more towards the Lin's forehand he won the point. He should've repeated it more but he went back to Lin's backhand, and that's where he made the error.

[@avandali8546]

Wow that is so close! LGY finally conquers himself, and Mattias keeps outputing high-quality performance. Best respect to Mattias, he will be one of the top opponents for the Chinese team.

AMAZING play by Falck here! Putting on the ropes one of the rising stars of Chinese national team is completely unexpected to anyone I guess... possibly even to himself! Vivid congratulations, let's hope Mattias will become a constant threat to Chinese players in the future

[@ccei638]

A tension filled thriller. Respect to both players.

[@ultimatewarriorfrieza275]

Well deserve win for LGY. But honestly Falck was so impressive this season that this was his chance to make an upset. The next time he would join in and play he would already be checked.

[@fredriklundquist9422]

Youre an idiot he beated LGY 5 months ago 4 2

[@firefist4547]

Why is he an idiot if he didnt mnow that. Maybe he doesnt remember every single event like you do abd maybe he has a social life unlike you haha. Although Falck did make a name for himself.

I'm not gonna lie. These are both amazing players but I woulda much rather seen Matthias in the final.

[@johnyeo897]

@@Betterdangaming definitely can't survive even a game with Ma Long. Ma long is too flexible in game. Lin gaoyuan play the same style over the match. Especially when he serve. Falck always know how to counter the serve easily.

[@georgik898]

Mattias Falck is at his ATH form at this tournament. Great game from both players!

[@brucestevenson2933]

Falck連續兩場把在反手位以反手見長的張本和林高遠打爆，真是令人印象深刻。 鄭榮植的反手是連續性，手感，糾纏能力很強，Falck的反手還加上一條粉碎力，感覺其他選手在反手上基本扛不住他兩下。而同時，Falck的正手功夫顯然就沒有很突出，三板斧的殺傷力夠可以，但是連續性和穩定性都有些問題，如果能提高一下正手，相信能給所有頂尖選手帶來非常大的麻煩（雖然已經很有威脅）。 兩場4:3，確實林高遠在臨場調整能力和應變手段上高於現在的張本一籌。 順便預測一下決賽，我覺得林高遠能贏。

[@raymondchan3587]

同意，他主要靠反手得分，正手不怎麼樣！

For someone so tall, Mattias has incredible explosiveness at that distance from the table. Not easy to change between FH and BH so quickly when you're that close. The short pips really messed with LGY.

What a match! Clash of the titans. Could go either way. Congrats to Gaoyuan.

[@starking1187]

Lgy's problem is not just mental, consistency is also a big problem for him. he is making a lot of errors just because he wants to take the ball early and hit hard at the same time. Most of the points he lost are due to his own inconsistencies and falck just have to keep the ball on the table to beat lin. lin has high quality shots and he just needs a few shots to take down his opponent. I saw a few points where lin slowed down and brush the ball more and it was effective in taking down the opponent

Супер игра Фалка! Теперь он большая европейская надежда?) Наконец-то гениальный Персон решил поделиться своим талантом и на тренерский стезе! Что и Валднеру давно пора сделать.

[@janosch7210]

i watched this because i want to learn better how to play against short pimps on the fh since 2 of my club colleagues use to play it. What i can take from the match, is: place your pushes several times until you, as the normal rubber player, can can open up the rally with a topspin. Dont try to open to early, especially not against the pimple side. A bad topspin will get murdered by pimples. Maybe even open up more against the opponents normal ruber side since you will more likely get topspin back, which you're used to. Dont try to 'all out brawl' against the pimple player, that's exactly what he wants. Play tactial and find your spot from where you can loop, that makes the pimples player very hard to return. In this exact case here, it was the wide fh topspin from LGY to the wide fh of Falck. This was the hardest shot for Falck to return properly! Anyways gg and well played from both!

[@whatevereyewant]

Every time Mattias went far right for an opening loop to cross to the left corner, he got absolutely burned on the counter. Wonder if he would’ve made it through if he found an answer. Great effort.

Maybe it's a psychological ploy as if to say YEAH RIGHT in the opponents language or maybe my hearing n is just very bad and I am getting old!!!

[@shihyuinchew8494]

We have to wait to see how Falck could perform against power oriented player instead of speed oriented ones like Harimoto and LGY. Coz it would be quite different trajectories to place his punches that’s not so much about spinning but hitting. Accuracy could drop drastically.

[@frederikvater]

Wow! Harimoto 2.0 xD Lin Gaoyuan was really... Ignited yesterday :o Congratulations to both: Mattias Falck played the best Table Tennis i've ever seen from him, and Lin Gaoyuan, as always performs amazingly. I'm looking forward to the final. :D

Despite a very close fight, this match is definitely not as exciting against Harimoto. Falck powerful bkhand against the Chinese player, did not fully deliver the similar impact. LGY bkhand equally deadly too. Overall, Falck fought well.
