this lim has one of the fastest forehands and backhands in the game. blazing rockets with so fluid and compact strokes. just scary

[@seekthetruths22]

The dude's quite a player with bright future ahead.

[@Dragon_Rider777]

Lim's fh-bh switch and recovery is faster than Aruna. That left Aruna little time to react. And Lim's placement is fairly precise

[@viclean2926]

Im a fan of Aruna, but in this match he struggled so bad to win against lin who played so so smart. Not to mention that comparing to Aruna, who is fh oriented player, the corean has a powerful fh and also a very good backhand topspin. Lim definetely has a wonderful future ahead.

[@xabieraizpuruasalaberria9831]

It’s very refreshing to see Aruna play. His playing style is quite unique in the professional circuit. Bravo Aruna!

[@platanoverde9469]

Totally agree bro. I love his style and wish me, that comes more talents from Africa, South America or the pacific side . Aruna shows an awesome talent. From the distance till the table, a great Allrounder for me with potential in the aggressive play.

[@paolorizzi2538]

his style came from poor footwork and body balance.

[@xabieraizpuruasalaberria9831]

@@paolorizzi2538 that's why I like seeing him play. I'm an amateur player with match poorer footwork and body balance so seeing him play makes me identify with his style. Moreover, he is ranked as number 14 right now so that means he has managed to compensate his deficiencies with strong abilities.

[@animaysh]

The question is, if Aruna trained the Chinese or EU style, would it actually have improved his game?...or would it have made him more predictable....

[@dxuhuang]

@@xabieraizpuruasalaberria9831 Aruna certainly deserves respect and admiration, but I think even he would agree that he's definitely not someone that should be emulated. Players who want to play well should actually work on their footwork and body balance.

[@infinitt4619]

sad for aruna ....... lin stood like a rock and didn't allow quadri to pass through

[@MAG-INSTINCT]

in the second set, 8-10 and then 11-10! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I WANNA SEE WHAT HAPPENED! Omfg, man............

[@ShamyTV5k]

the close 2nd and 3rd (specially the 2nd where he had game point at 11:10) sets were key loss for quadri, if he were to snap at least one of them, he might have won the match. The King of Africa rulz! However Lim is playing very strong this tournament

[@HumbleBearcat]

Wow Lim, what a monster he is on both forehand & backhand strokes. I like his agressive playing style.

Rapaz!eu jurava que o Aruna ia levar essa!TÁ JOGANDO MUITO!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🏓👊 Porém, dessa vez o xadrez de rede não deu pra ele.🤷‍♂️ Parabéns pro coreano!👏🏻🏓

[@silviavieira7186]

Aruna struggled a lot to receive Lim's services. I think that's why he lost, again

[@rainlion0]

agree x 10000

[@Philoreason]

I like Lim's no non-sense, very direct play style

[@ZubairAli-hm8xp]

[@rafanadalgoat5559]

So sad for Aruna,but congrats to Lim,great movements,it will be great final with Gaćina!!🇭🇷😎🇰🇷

[@bernardmensah9674]

I was really rooting for Aruna to win but unfortunately he lost to Lim who played very smartly and fiercely. Analyzing the game there are a number of reasons why Aruna lost. 1. He did not handle lim serves very well. Lim serves mostly topspins and side topspin’s with varying placements on the table. Aruna’s favorite receive technique is stopping the spin with his forehand and unfortunately most of the receive pops up slightly cos the topspin was heavy. 2. Lim opening attack is very strong and he varies the placements a lot which makes it difficult for Aruna to predict and prepare for a counter attack. 3. Aruna’s backhand flip has improved in recent times but he was quite hesitant to use it cos I guess he wanted to win badly so was trying to use his more favored forehand topspin. I wish Aruna will study this game and make some adjustments in order to beat this kind of style in the near future

[@twenty4seven368]

Liz played really smart. Tactical serves from to make Aruna uncomfortable. Good all round game - defense and offense

[@johnnybowe]

Excellent level. It's tough to win points.

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Aruna didn't play bad, but his lack of balance with mobility cost him here. Lim was moving him around and Aruna can't always get a strong shot in. Aruna moved Lim around too, but Lim has good footwork and balance and was able to hit some great backhands, and when given time, step around and use his forehand angle out.

[@jamesberry5471]

Are they under covid restrictions in Doha? It’s sad to see a SF in a big event with zero atmosphere

[@Dragon_Rider777]

Very sad to see Aruna lose. I wonder why he didn’t do short push. He always returned long giving Lim the chance to attack.

[@dariogutierrez6716]

Very tough game. Lim has the expectativa to get into Koreas top3 and I hope he does

Aruna e calderano jogam muito e pena que por motivos de consistência não conseguem chegar na final dos torneios .. arumã estava merecendo pois derreteu dois chineses nesta competição

Still good, Aruna. You still have rooms for improvement. While many others seem to have reached their peaks already.

Can someone breakdown what Lim did tactically different from the Chinese players to beat Aruna?

[@yongli4304]

Aruna had a rough day today, not necessarily that the Korean is better, but Aruna player three tough matches against the Chinese and seemed a bit off today.

[@silviavieira7186]

In powerful forehand that could be better if he didn't plays most of the times crooked. This happens when Aruna moves from left to right. Regarding the backhand, I would say that the problem is that he uses the punch which gives him a lot of points but if I am not mistaken, he loses way more points far away the table. Regarding the services, I do not understand why Aruna does not serves downspin much more.

[@aceventura1777]

He doesnt serve down spin because he is very bad(in regards to other top players ofc) in short-short (thats what usually comes after a down spin) He is always seeking an open game where he can owerpower the other guy. He like to play short on opponents serve (many times players cant repeat short after a good short return so thats when he starts the fh attack) but he doesnt like when the same is done to him.

[@silviavieira7186]

@@aceventura1777 but if you notice Aruna wins a lot of points with his downspin service. Regarding the short service, doesn't play that game, he has a very nice push

[@fraer111]

@@silviavieira7186 if you serve short backspin and go short-short, then you have to look for a chance for a banana flick. But banana is Aruna's weakness, not a weapon. More likely he is gonna be forced to defend against bananas after a short-short exchange.

[@silviavieira7186]

@@fraer111 I didn't understand your point. If Aruns serves downspin and short, why is he forced to flick? Why can't he simples push the ball?

[@fraer111]

@@silviavieira7186 ofc he can push it back after his serve is received short, and then his opponent will flick it and get him defensive.

[@Dahrey1]

Aruna played a nice game, but he still needs to work on how he receives service from his opponents. He has a super FH, while Kim is a good defender and attacker, he's smart.

Really bad sound. You can barely hear Adam's comments and it sounds like you put the microphone on a fan.

[@guerrerorojas5348]

Even although they are top players their rallies most of the times don’t go beyond three strokes, so imagine how difficult it must be play with the new ball.
