Never was a fan of Gauzy, but he completely deserved this victory. Also, I feel like those amazing tricky shots he made had its effect on XX's mind. XX always enjoys being the one who entertains the crowd, but in this game, Gauzy was the one who impressed.

[@___Robin___]

I wouldn't say it was deserved.. he won at the end with a lucky net ball and to top things off he came into the game because xu xin was playing carelessly and gave a set away. It's 90% a loss of Xu Xin and 10% a win of Gauzy. I wouldn't call someone else choking the game away a deserved win. He was very lucky XX didn't finish him off and lost focus. It's more ff XX defeated himself I wouldn't call that a deserved win. A deserved win is were you dominate and your opponent can't come up with answers. This to me was more of a self destruction of xx than a win of Gauzy. You got to be real he was insanely lucky and took advantage of it. Painful loss for XX.

[@太麻里小狼狗]

Shut up and admit the truth Robin

[@rimreq299]

@@___Robin___ Simon is definitely the underdog, he needs tricky shots and perhaps luck to win, but that is not to say that he won by random shots and pure luck without any strategy. Simon's technique was amazing, usually XX is the one who wins far off table shots but here it was Simon. I always heard excuses like "lost focus", "not in his best shape", bored by these explainations. Simon's variations did mess up XX's play style.

[@bertalanhorvath9798]

A win is win!

[@robinhakki2251]

Yeah besides xx can't release the pressure title the world #2. Gauzy more entertain today because he nothing to lose.

[@devertz995]

Is this real life? As an European I'm so proud of Simon, I literally cant breathe when he won, creative and attacking style, never passive plays, Good game and well played

[@travelator3035]

Congrats Simon for doing what we've all been waiting for 16 years: A guaranteed silver medal for the rest of the world.

[@boonang1315]

U r absulately right

[@boonang1315]

I am a chinese, but chinese against chinese in final, no fun, no excitement no fire.

[@Ramadur1]

You cant have a better final than chinese vs chinese. Its absolutely the best table tennis you can see. If boll plays like against the japanese guy it would be an amazing final

[@thomasli8209]

Travelator I’m extremely happy for Simon since he’s one of my favourite players and the underdog in this match, but let’s not attribute any of the congratulatory feeling towards the fact that the final won’t be Chinese-Chinese. I understand that some people are tired of finals like that, but the final should be between two of the best players. Simon was simply the better player here, and that’s great, but a Chinese-Chinese final would have been awesome too because it’s best for table tennis to see two of the best in the tournament face-off. I hope Simon makes it to the final.

[@quentinzhu2067]

The key point is ML, FZD, LGY, LJK are all in the same section, we need to thank ittf...

Gauzy's returns of Xu Xin's serves were absolutely stunning. Most players have trouble with Xu Xin's serves.

[@BojanBesinger]

WHAT AN AMAZING MATCH!! You can be so proud Simon!

[@aureliantihi7707]

Simon Gauzy played like there is no tomorrow, what an exciting match and fantastic to watch! Respect to him and good luck in the next round ! Xu xin was undecided sometimes..

[@maultasche668]

I think Xu did not expect much from Gauzy, knowing that the previous matches were not difficult for him at all. At 2:2 and 8:3 he (and many others) thought that is was over... Xu lost the match especially mentally, wondering about Gauzy's astonishing shots Insane match with incredible tension

[@nishanbhattarai007]

Very well said.. Xu xin losing the game that too having a 5 points' lead is a rare moment.

[@dikaosoune]

Exactly what I thought!

[@teodororaco4171]

On my opinion the coach had to call "time out" in that game

[@trevorkoch8911]

Gauzy was able to keep xu xin from getting into rallies quite well. His backhand flip catches a ton of side spin, attacking it from the side of the ball, which looks to have gave XX a lot of trouble.

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

@@trevorkoch8911 yes XX definitely underestimated Simon's side spin.

[@warmshizzle]

He completely avoided using his backhand. Can't win in today's game doing that

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

[@ilotiana2723]

June 2020... still asking myself how did he block it, with his racket wide open (not closed as we usually do on topspin) 🙄🙄

[@pipaion]

Xu Xin is definitely a freak.. a lefty pen-holder walking on the clouds.. only an amazing talented player as Gauzy, with so many original shots and brave tactics could beat him! A dream came true for the frenchman, and some hope for European supporters.. the China- rest of the world gap is closing up...what an incredible match!!

[@napapanda5169]

I wait for a game like this all my life. A brain killer game. Not that Ma Long, Fan Zendong and others amazing fast rally games, but one that you see the minds boiling. Gauzy is the Dumbledore of table tennis, aways a new trick on the table...and today he did what he knows best, magic on the table. Congratulations Cloud Walker and Simon Dumbledore Gauzy.

[@truberthefighter9256]

Gauzy played strategically by giving soft returns to the backhand side of XX while giving speed and power once it goes to the forehand side.

There should be a hall of fame for players who have defeated Xu Xin. That definitely puts you at god level.

Holy match, And I thought Kanak vs Long was the best match so far

[@chasefire-o1n]

Gauzy taking great risks with ripping backhands, strawberries , fantasy receivs(chop block chop whatvever) and keeping rallys short paid off. Also his banana placement into body or wide foerhand was excellent, which got XX into bad positions to loop and got Gauzy the chance to attack. In general XX is unbeatable in pure looping, but he was getting shaky as realised he could loose this game. And His receiving can be considered as weak today and almost almost NO RPB to put pressure on to gauzy.

The Chinese players usually win through in these tight pressure moments because of a positive mindset and rock solid technique. Gauzy refused to capitulate and stood up to Xu Xin's best shots. He proved the Chinese can be beaten.

That type of games is what frustrates me the most about Simon Gauzy. He has amazing talent, enough to pull off such insane upsets, but his strength is also his main weakness. His spectacular shots are rather inefficient, meaning he can beat almost anyone in a good day but he can also lose a lot against weaker players.
