this champion has been waiting for long time ~ congrats Freitas

[@danielahmadi8928]

Big congrats to Freitas, well deserved. His forehand topspin attack is soo consistent and good. Love when he goes in to the forehand to forehand rallies with that side/topspin. Unmatched this tournament, well done sir!!

few spectators. Liu Guolang, the chinese table tennis legend as player and coach, once said that he concerns about the popularity of table tennis more than the result of matches. Heavyweight balls are luring stupid stuff in table tennis. They make table tennis become bored with very few touches in every balls series, and with more offgame time, less long rallies, less visual athletic skills shows. The less touches in every ball series, the less ongame time, the more offgame time, and players lose more their time for offgame time to go to pick up balls. HEAVYWEIGHT BALLS MAKE TABLE TENNIS MANUFACTURER AND PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS TO BE POORER AND POORER, because heavyweight balls make table tennis extremely difficult to play amateur social games for new beginners. Thus majority of new beginners leave away from table tennis, and there be very few new beginners still keep playing table tennis (extremely difficult to play game for beginners). It requires few weeks of training for new beginners to reach minimal amateur levels to play amateur social games in other sport, for example in badminton, billards, .. . BUT IT REQUIRES FEW YEARS OF TRAINING FOR NEW BEGINNERS TO REACH MINIMAL AMATEUR LEVEL TO PLAY AMATEUR SOCIAL TABLE TENNIS GAMES. It is very stupid big time training requirement for beginners in table tennis, thus majority of new beinners just leave table tennis. I personally see much many real life cases today : private commercial table tennis club halls are revamped to become badminton club halls, because table tennis is extreme difficult to attract enough number of new beginners to get profit for running commercial table tennis clubs as commercial social sport services. If the commercial private table tennis halls have high ceils, then their owners often cancel table tennis club services to convert halls into commercial badminton club or other sport services halls to get profit, because there are very few new amateur table tennis players. The reason of stiff difficulty of table tennis for new beginners : heavyweight balls make table tennis to be extremely difficult for new beginners : they fly extremely lightening fast in air, and they are difficult to control for beginners. Lightweight balls make table tennis become extreme easier for new beginners : they fly slower in air, they are easier to control for beginners. With lightweight balls, every ball series will have more touches in average. Thus table tennis matches will have more ongame time and less offgame times, thus players have more ongame time. It is valuable ! Because amateur players pay their time to play table tennis matches for health and social fun/communication, thus the more offgame time, the less waste time for players ! Everyone can try lightweight balls, for example 2gr balls, to feel how extremely more easily to play table tennis for new beginners. The next balls of table tennis must be lightweight balls, for example, 2-2.5gr balls instead of the current 2.7gr balls. The result of lightweight balls will be staggering : there will be more billion new beginners come and keep playing table tennis with new lightweight balls of 2gr, because lightweight balls do not require stupid enormous few years of training to reach minimal amateur level to play amateur social table tennis game, but require only few weeks of training enough to play amateur social table tennis games. Of course, it leads to increadible big scale business of table tennis equipment manufacturers, it leads to increadible big number of table tennis audience of professional tournaments . Because new billion beginners will play and keep playing the easier version of table tennis with lightweight balls 2-2.5gram, but not the current stupid extreme difficult version of table tennis with heavyweight balls 2.7gram, thus they known playing table tennis as amateur players and once they known playing then they will have interest to watch table tennis tournaments. They will be billion one, once lightweight balls 2-2.5gram are applied in table tennis.

[@didierkarlsson9479]

I like Marcos. 🎉 Sweet table tennis 🏓🎾🏓🎾

[@walterpoelzing9412]

Well earned Marcos. Well earned.

[@alexiscoppola535]

Bravo Marcos!

[@whatevereyewant]

Both players on the more extreme end of their career….the TPE player just entering larger ITTF sanctioned tournaments and Frietas while obviously nowhere near retired has been in the game a pretty long time but his style is heavily inspired off of younger Timo. Thing is, Timo adjusted his game to close counters quite a bit for the plastic ball especially when his movement became a little less athletic and found a renaissance. While Marcos is extremely talented, it’s not as obvious he’s adjust as much to get back to the top 10 although his ranking has been pretty consistent to stay in the top 30. Idk if it is all sports, but at least in combat sports it’s said you become 20% better the second you become the champion because it affirms your skill mentally. I hope at 35, we see Marcos now with a title under his belt make the adjustments to his game like Timo did. I’ve always been a fan of his style aesthetically and as more of a looper myself.

[@angelguevara7730]

One of my favorite players ever! I'm so happy for him

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Kao is great and will get better. He has good potential and he is not nervous at all playing the big guys. Freitas made a crucial adjustment in game 3.

[@jorgeinostroza6675]

grande Marcos !!!... le pones mucha garra al jugar... bien hecho parabens

[@KoalaBear7]

Freitas played very well mentally after testing out the waters 1st game. Kudos to him for his win! Kao is still very young, fundamental is great but lacks mental fortitude and well rounded adjustments. Only one way to go and that is up for both players.

[@MarcosVinicius-ed5qg]

Congrats Marcos Freitas!!

[@krzysztofszajberski8228]

Brawo Marcos - wspaniała gra 👍💪🏓

[@luisbeja83]

[@lucl.6093]

Perfekt angle!!! Do not change it

[@sionthuisko-ih6vs]

its the worst. side one is miles miles better

[@PrinceKatanaAonSport1402]

Kao Ceng jui sangat berbakat❤😊

[@samatduismaganbetov9085]

where was Kao trainer? there was nobody next to him during breaks, i think mentally he had no support and that caused loose of title

[@patrickng8974]

No. Marco has found his weakness in the 2nd game. Kao couldn't win.

[@HJ-yg4lc]

Because he has to rush to Rio for another WTT Contender.

[@bobatwell7505]

Don't think so 1he was outplayed..well done MF 👍

Congratulations

[@motors1976]

Красава !

[@knotwilg3596]

The angle is already better than the atrocious sideways bird's eye view. Next keep the camera view stable during the rallies. If it works for Tennis, where the ball moves slower and there are many more big sponsors, it must be possible in TT too.

[@sionthuisko-ih6vs]

noooo its tooo High.

[@user-pr9zj9nl9r]

Наконец то Маркос выиграл. Давно он не побеждал в турнирах

[@Thegr8mate]

kao should play efficiently with clever play. he used all of his stamina in first 2 sets .
