Simon is very clever. He makes balls not easy for the opponent to control. He's gonna be the only possibility to take down chinese players who rule the world so far. One thing I wanna ask for Gauzy is to get more confident. you're the one, man.

[@sawless3610]

Gauzy played very well, pleasant to watch 😃

Un Simon comme on l'aime, même si la victoire n'a pas été atteinte ! Un revers hors norme ! Même Ma Long est au dessus, cela n'a pas été de toute simplicité pour s'imposer ! Les points étaient joués à fond et les échanges étaient de toute beauté ! Bravo à ces deux beaux joueurs ! Sorry mi english is bad ... A Simon as we love him, even if the victory was not achieved ! An extraordinary setback! Even Ma Long is on top, it was not very simple to impose! The points were played thoroughly and the exchanges were beautiful! Bravo to these two beautiful players!

[@dariogutierrez6716]

A one hour long thriller for his injury comeback.

[@kristofbaumann8180]

Gauzy fought very well, but you can see how fast Ma Long is. Gauzy has an outstanding touch, so he manages to put back balls on the table he doesn't have a good position on, but many times, eg. with his forehand, he is late and only has time to somehow hit the ball back, and can't make a quality and powerful shot. Ma Long's footwork is also more precise. Great match!

[@johansjogren6625]

On of the best Matches i have ever seen!!!

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

If Ma Long is the Dictator then Simon Gauzy is the entertainer... really fun to watch ....he also gave Lin Yun Ju a really good game at the Austrian Open (i think) ... there were a few vital points where he went (and missed) the nearside Forehand whilst Ma Long was stranded. Oh so nearly!

[@guillaume5587]

Very entertained with Gauzy's style but still a lack of power on his forehand side. It is gonna be hard to compete with top 10 players if he doesn't fix this pb.

[@hyttennis]

Agreed. I think he's done remarkably well considering his forehand deficiency.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

That's true for 90% of non Chinese players.

[@FlolebonStudio]

Yeah but gauzy has more spin

[@guillaume5587]

@@FlolebonStudio Yeah true, but seems to be effectiveless, even more with the plastic ball...

[@gab5012]

@@FlolebonStudio No, his ball looks like it has more spin, because the trajectory is higher making the curve on the ball look more obvious. Ma long's shot is very low and fast, and I think it has even more spin

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

Yup, this is one of the reasons the sport doesn't have much of a following. These are premier events with actioned packed games ....at the the sport can do is to help itself! Can we please send emails to the ITTF else nothing gets done. I personally think the colour schemes of the table/flooring are also important ...the traditional blue (table) on red (flooring) really strains my eyes. In this case with pink or green flooring it works much better.

[@richardstella5927]

Give some credit to Simon. Simon’s excellent play made Ma Long seemed in a bad shape but this is not entirely correct. In a zero sum game like table tennis and football, my good is your bad. Simon stifled Ma Long’s rally play with his excellent placement of balls on several occasions but Ma Long finally adapted to Simon’s strategy.

[@tiujay]

Still not bad performance from Ma Long, although he usually whip ass straight 4-0, but still the dictator!

[@saleem2991]

Ma Long actually was never very confident against Simon Gauzy. He lost a few games before winning the match in their last 2 encounters.

[@saleem2991]

@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN Nope. I've checked the record. Ma Long never beat Simon 4:0. Also, I said Ma Long lost a few games but not matches. A game is a set of points to 11 or otherwise till a 2 point difference is achieved. A match is a set of games played out until one player wins usually 3 or 4 games for victory.

[@punpompur]

1:24 Gauzy could have served a fast long serve to his left given Ma Long was standing far to his right. Why would Ma stand so far at the corner of the table? Is Ma absolutely sure that he will get the serve to his side and that he is not taking a risk? I would like to know what goes through the receiver's mind at a time like this.

[@kyawhsuthway4272]

wandaba because most chinese players have strong footwork to reach the fast long serve. By standing at the bh corner, any side spin serve can be received strongly and also ables you to do a pivot fh attack

[@punpompur]

@@kyawhsuthway4272 i remember watching a match of Ma Long and Ma Lin in which Ma Long was able to deceive Ma Lin by serving long far from him. If it happens once during a match, sure one will keep it in mind for the next serve, but as an element of surprise, the opponent might as well get one point. During knock out stages, that one point can make all the difference as well. Ma Long, as a pro player, might have thought of this possibility of a fast long serve that is far from him, but I can't be so sure how he was planning to receive at that time.

[@saleem2991]

@@punpompur I've seen players attempt fast serves against Ma Long to a distant or unusual position, but Ma has more than enough time to step around and topspin them. Gauzy is well aware of Ma's capabilities, so he probably doesn't want to go for such a risk.
