Wow!!!! What a performance. Those backhand flicks with backhand follow-up were so fast. LYJ's power and speed in the longer rallies has increased a lot as well.

[@Bbuguy]

He got some distinguished breakthrough eventually. Now it's the turn to improve his forehand then he would be more complete than ever.

[@anamehardtofind8113]

Ma couldn't find a way to counter Lin's backhand twist to his forehand side throughout the whole game. Fantastic match! Congrats on Lin's convincing win!

[@RedArrow2007]

Lin playing at another level, he was unbelievable against Aruna which carried over to Ma Long!

Lin definitely improved. Can‘t wait to see his next match to see if he keeps this level.

[@TheLmpower]

Lin’s level was ridiculous

[@hawnt2r]

​@@TheLmpower Ma Long fan detected

[@moataz1140]

Lin almost flicked all of ma long’s serves regardless of the type of the spin. He almost never went for the “safe” push which i think won him the game. The fact that his flicks almost always land on the table is a crazy level of consistency he reached in the receive department.

[@Valeria-qb8if]

That was incredible!!! Lin's game was out of this world! Now this is the silent assassin I want to see!!! Way to go!! Congrats!!!

[@adamlc1287]

恭喜小林，马龙还能站在球台上的一天就值得尊敬👍

[@movakalin5333]

Lin Yu Yu has improved. Solid attacks

林先生的技術層面 反手跟正手動作上都有調整 尤其是反手第一板 明顯與之前不同 更靈活 更快速 破壞力更強

[@andyng2152]

The Taiwanese shows hie confidence and determination with his great solid skills 🎉well done ⋯heading to the champions

[@anthonyk9692]

Lin's game has improved and his speed is awesome

[@ttime9947]

6:31 Wow, Lin Yun-Ju!!

[@canicetang8837]

The real key of the match was the second set when the Dragon had the lead and the silent assassin came back to win. Also Lin's serve returns were excellent to have the Dragon losing more than half of his serving points. Plus the anticipation of the shots for the amazing counter returns and rallies. All of them were the key to the great victory by Lin.

[@jamesatkins7592]

Lin's technical ability is flawless. He's always got every chance against anyone. It's just a case of whether he's firing and in his rhythm

[@hostage-ku6yz]

Lin‘s backhand is incredible,if he improves his forehand more he could be world champion

[@ChrisLin100]

Lin's vocalization is louder than the one in the Tokyo Olympic 2020 games. Ma Long is not at his best, but Lin played very well. It was an incredible performance from both players."

[@oliverchou7596]

When Lin got his backhand flick game , he is unstoppable Nice ! Way to go Man

[@ramadanahmed8925]

I think we are going to see amazing game between fan zhendong vs lin yun jo 👍👏👏👏

[@charlestang6731]

Lin grew up and improved his forehand a lot 😮

[@dazstuff1875]

so good. one of the best displays of table tennis you'll ever see.

[@PongGod]

LYJ's backhand was absolutely devastating. Tremendous performance!

[@GhanaTableTennis]

Lin is playing extremely well. His speed and power seem to have improved

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Lin read Ma’s serves well. Lin’s serves are always good, awkward short to the forehand mostly, then mix it up with deep to the backhand. Shots wide to Ma’s forehand worked well as Ma couldn’t recover position after that. Lin’s rally had to be on, and he was on. Well deserved win then.

[@dmitrikonnov922]

This is INSAAAAAANE. WAAAAHNSINN! WELTKLASSE! AMAYZING !!!!!!! SUCH A SPEED!!!!

[@ppaul456tw]

Lin played flawlessly in this match!

[@LaZanzaraReturn]

Ma Long, the best player of all time, meets his only opponent: the passing of time...

[@aaronoliver7585]

Lin has been getting so much better at longer rallies. I feel like his weakness used to be getting into longer rallies bc of how fast his blade is and how easy it would be to make errors. Similar to Kristian Karlsson whenever his shots are on there is no answer.

[@sameenraut1099]

What a performance by Lin!!

[@ruelgrubio]

😬🤯scary level of playing, bring it on WTT!!!!

[@PanchoGDMKWii]

Lin Yun-ju is on fire on this tournament

wow, Lin is a candidate for #1 player in the future playing this level

[@442484184]

小林有明显的提升，前途无量！老将马龙也虽败犹荣。精彩的比赛，希望有更多的年轻选手打出好成绩！

[@sasolala]

Lin的Power++長出來了 之前瘦的跟被風吹走一樣 現在加強了核心跟肌肉果然有差 之前相持跟中遠台跟正手問題似乎改善了 也可能是擰拉又升級了...

[@memmener]

6:45

[@bme4285]

Now I get how he was able to take down Aruna so quickly.

[@gorraxu8816]

恭喜小林，这样的胜利可以积累信心，不过短局制对龙队稍有不利，马龙最近的比赛进状态都比较慢，所以有实力的小将还是很有机会的，但千万不能认为一场胜利就说明林已经如何如何，小林同学还有很长的路要走，希望后面能有更精彩表现。

[@wu020306]

賽制早就改很久了，馬龍很厲害，不是靠賽制取勝的，今天林昀儒就是打的比較好，蠻力不一定有用，阿努納沒蠻力嗎？ 樊振東這時跟林打 也不一定贏，奧運不是嗎？ 林昀儒去年也常輸球！馬龍也說過 林是優秀的球員，你比馬龍厲害嗎？他們打過7次了 3:4 馬龍只多贏一次！

[@dklyt2358]

Ma Long is showing signs of aging and Lin is getting better with his forehand. No doubt Lin has the best backhand. Amazing match.

[@shikhararora5199]

Ma long's not at his peak anymore. Lin Yun has improved a lot, a new young talent possibly canditate for number one

[@keechuang]

恭喜小林~LYJ這場的正手側身也超多好球的阿~

It would be such a great improvement if there were higher framerates available! Please WTT Channel :)))

For sure, Lin has been approved (speed and power). His backhand is #1 in the world, no doubt.

What about Hugo's?

[@citylidamj8898]

Lin got the best backhand flick for sure😮

[@dmitrikonnov922]

I think, he's learnt from Lin Shindong.

The Silent Assassin with a killer backhand! 😶‍🌫

good luck He must win other 3 Chinese players at quarter, semi and final.

[@RockRider2k]

Awesome match! Crossed fingers for Ma Long but the other guy was objectively stronger.

[@ericzhang6577]

林打的又快又准又狠。

[@jazsings]

This is UNREAL

[@cyliang]

Probably advised by his new coach, Lin plays like his 2019 style again. Without over chasing power and mid-distance rallies, he stays closer to the table and focuses on speed and positioning.

[@romulohenkel4578]

Lin tem um macete, joga alto para depois contra atacar em cima do adversário. Um monstro

[@thecsucihai]

Thank you Ma Long for giving Lin a chance at greatness. 👏It is all up to Lin now.

[@harveynorman8787]

Great and aggressive play by LYJ

Bro, this lin is insane, wtheck?!

[@zazenforever4940]

Great and no screaming!

[@whatevereyewant]

Should be interesting to see if Ma Long can keep up to bring it to the Olympics next year. He is only doing this for legacy I’m sure at this point, and it would be bummer to start seeing him drop matches the way you see alot of greats across different sports do because they don’t want to give up what they love.

[@alanauUK]

Lin improves physical fitness pay off in this game. Lighting reaction and hitting the ball at a stronger pace won the match.

[@kevinshao9148]

To be honest, Lin's talent actually tops Chinese tier #1 national team. Ma Long's backhand never been like world top level, comparing with his ranking. Lin's backhand now should be world #2 at least if not #1.

[@grrtpah6428]

Lins absolutely insane

[@ericye9762]

[@steven821130]

The most incredible part is not Lin's flick. The smooth and seamless transition and follow-up attacks are something most other top players do not have.

[@mihaiXDmihai]

Can someone explain to me how Ma Long went from number 2 to number 4 even though he was in the Final of Singapore Smash?

6:01 is crazy. There are flashy points in this match, but this alone is so impressive.

[@ttfan2592]

World Champs gonna be massive for Ma Long this time. If he doesn‘t play a final next week in macao and falls out of the worlds early, he will slip down the rankings. And I guess that’s the point he starts thinking about a possible end of his career

[@HakuCell]

where is Lin Yun Yu from? i don't recognize that flag

The dragon is too old for the silent assassin 😂 , what a match

[@ausjimooo3695]

马龙说过小林的前三板技术非常好！而且马龙打速度型选手比较困难，比如象张本，小林这种！从上一场对瑞典选手就可以看出来马龙不在状态，也许是不想在状态！下月就打大赛，现在出状态可不好！中国队对大赛状态的调整一套一套的！小林的确打的好！前三板的控，攻，防无可挑剔！但这种高速高压打法需要强大的心理素质支撑，而这正是小林的弱点！小林的性格需要强一点和坏一点，学一学张继科！很喜欢小林，后一辈选手中很看好他！

[@rayliao3641]

It's Lin Yun Ju. COME ON！！！

[@ilfalcodelkhan]

noooo Ma Long!!! I can't believe it!!! 😭

[@musicfromheart]

Good game from Lin! Seriously, what is WTT thinking to cut the game from best of 7 to best of 5? Most of the matches were done in less than 30 minutes already when they played best of 7. And now they want the matches to end within 15 minutes?

[@ttime9947]

The weird thing is that I think the torunaments got even longer, look at the Singapore Smash which was almost two weeks long
