Ruwen Filus vs Jun Mizutani | WTT Star Contender Doha 2021 | MS | R16 Highlights

[@julybikes]

Ruwen , you are awesome. Shows us that defence can be very sweet.

[@BjoernSteltingTT]

Amazing performance by Filus Die moderne Abwehr lebt 🔥👍

[@bullbapp]

I don't know if I ever have seen Filus play better than this. A pure joy to behold...!! And not just this match, but all the matches in Doha, even the final against Tomokazu despite he lost it, was brilliant.

[@popteps]

ruwen has so much variety in his game

[@kti01]

Großartiges Spiel, Gratulation Ruwen zu diesem beeindruckenden Sieg!

[@izet.tahirbegovic]

Filus has very adaptive style of play. True modern defender. He uses forehand topspin just when he needs it. He seems like very hard opponent to win on this tournament.

[@Hannes223311]

Whats with the camera angle? 90% of the time I can't see Filus defend because he is out of frame.

[@demhandzz]

Even timo boll himself said that he doesnt like the side angle, and prefers the diagonal angle. It's on his latest video on his channel.

[@izet.tahirbegovic]

True 😂

[@Al-ImprovEd2022]

New thing from ITTF. They want you to use sense of hearing and smelling.

[@Hannes223311]

@@Al-ImprovEd2022 Yeah you are right we should have felt the change in the gravitational field everytime Filus chopped a nice backspin ball...

Starkes Spiel von Filus. Der moderne offensiv-Abwehrspieler ;)

[@purpose6113]

I'm enjoying the matches so much with this camera angle, love it!

[@ow5319]

This was a fantastic game to watch. It seems that Filus is in great shape and adjusted his style to be more offensive in some situations of the game. Smart play is when he keeps his opponent playing to his backhand side and then playing a topsin down the line.

[@apflor323]

I'm amazed by his awareness when he twiddles. You never see him get caught in awkward shots. And I'm a big fan of his new found aggressiveness. He really goes for the power shots.

[@grln930]

Wow what a match by him! Remarkably played.

[@evanzeng9828]

Mizutani got no temper with this style, Filus' defence-attack switch is smoother than my car's automatic transmission.

[@takwat3458]

your car really sucks

[@mundakrobat]

what a freaking good match by filus!!!! i feel like he trained with ovtcharov a bit watching his receiving positioning.

[@JJSideshowBob]

Whether they win or lose, both are so much fun to watch.

[@mudrabbit84]

Paytera ruwen oi!!! Kini nga duwa nindot keyo ni imo gi pakita bai ruwen!!!! Keep it up!!!

Insane point. Anytime i have hit a ball off the bounce like that my opponents struggle to return it.

[@imparis47]

It's just a shame we couldn't see Filus because of this angle

[@dmitrikonnov922]

@@imparis47 But, if we had a classic view from behind the table, we couldn't feel that speed. I think diagonal view is the best balanced option.

[@runnertomonutube]

Very attractive table tennis! Top rallies!

[@pukulu]

Filus was really sharp for this match. Mizutani has been in the top 10 for nearly all of the past decade. Filus has been ranked inside the top 20 but not for long and his high rank is number 18.

[@harveynorman8787]

Not only for this match. But the tournament as a whole. He beat lin yu ju, that's a fantastic achievement

[@DQ2121]

I'm confused. How many tournaments have happened in this event? Is there like teams and singles or something? Dima won the mens singles, right?

[@retabiyo]

I'm just as confused !! Right now I'm expecting the final between filus and harimoto !! Then I watch this and get all mixed up

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Never seen Mizutani miss so many forehands. But Ruwen was a fortress!

[@mateocalderon7187]

El alemán es un jugador muy completo. Me encanta como juega

[@kristianaaberg7882]

These tournaments have thrown up odd results. The top japanese and korean players losing to players you would not expect.

[@HarryWizard]

does seem odd doesn't it, hopefully in coming months every player will be at their best so everything is back in order

[@NJ1908Interista]

MasyaAllah... Ruwen jago bgt Gilaaa... JM sampe ftustasi sama defence nya

[@GhanaTableTennis]

the message from Filus is clear, come prepared, because by the time the match ends your energy would have been drained.

[@TheFoeni007]

Material of Filus?

[@jwxujerry]

Filus is great. Amazing defense and offense. However, Mizutani had wrong tactics. Filus's counterattack is mostly forehand and his backhand is not as strong and consistent. Mizutani should control all the attack to Filus's backhand, and when there is enough space, redirect to the forehand for the kill. That's a very typical strategy against defensive players. I am really surprised Mizutani didn't know that.

[@kioka2]

He knows, but he didn't use it, unfortunately.

[@VTI777]

[@hanno8705]

@@abdel-jalilabbas8924 Thanks for that! What me amazes is the fact that this has been 16 years ago. I find it remarkable when professional players in any field of sports can for such a long time maintain to play on a high level. Just yesterday I saw a video about Timo Boll, he just turned 40.

[@IgneelS11]

Match: Good variation by Ruwen and solid attacks. The placement of his shots was on point. Mizutani lacked power and was uninspired in some situations. Environment: Camera angle was meh, I wasn't able to watch the players properly in some situations. The lighting is odd. It seems like the lights are reflecting on these black tables. Can the players see the ball properly over the table? Congrats to Ruwen, well deserved!

[@NastyMick]

Ruwen's playing like a champion today, but Mizutani just looks stiff as a board. There's not a lot of effort going into lifting those chops half the time, and he's rotating his body really slowly. Tired? Injured somehow?

[@aerotus888]

Wow!!

[@gabrieltc1001]

Ruwen fazendo ferida. Só vejo ele pegando taca na Bundesliga

[@KripkeSaul]

I think we can now see the virtues of the classic camera angle. Defenders stay in the frame, you can focus on the whole table. All this crying for a new camera angle was bullshit. What is needed, are good cameras, high resolution and good frame rate.

[@adfssd3324]

Very weird angle to whatch a game. : (

[@aalokatmaa1606]

If table tennis is a jungle life, Jun Mizutani is a poor antelope while the other players are predators😀😁😅😂🤣

[@khongkhongsacsac5883]

What's wrong with a few of World Class high-ranked & experienced Japanese & Korean's performances in this particular tournament? They got paid in advance to play like in Tennis just come to show off? They showed no respect to those lower ranked but committed & competitive players and got their asses kicked out of the tour early and made their names bad from now! They came to play for fun & holiday break or ran away from the Covid-19 in their own countries? Hopefully, It is not Money that will ruin their names and we lost our interests to learn their top class skills while their girls' performances have proved their worths and commitments in their own names. Our supports now go for the underdogs...

[@Ali_Shafai]

I find it sad whenever I see a professional play the defensive style. In my mind it should just be old men at the club level that like to frustrate the heck out of everybody else 🤣 who should be playing that style. Fact is that this style will never be a world champion in the modern era, so why anyone takes it on at this level is beyond me!

[@lennylorenz4511]

Well, every player has his preferences. Maybe Filus would be worse if he didn't defend, we don't know...
