[@KYchiu402]

[@random_person_who_likes_music]

Thats odd

[@le0nz]

He was toying

[@johnli317]

I think the throwing height might be illegal.

[@uchihamadara7248]

[@renaltman7964]

[@ut4eb]

[@xiaorichard3936]

IT is very happy to see that lots of international funs enjoy table tennis, and i sincerely hope that all of the friends who love this game would achieve a high level as the Chinese did. God belss you , and hard working deserves the good achievements.

Despite Xu Xin losing to the raw diamond that is Fan Zhendong, I must say I always enjoy watching him play. He always displays versatility and creativity and has improved the consistency of his backhand. His fast and heavily spinny forehand stroked makes me in awe as well as his defense skills consisting of returning moonballs with his backhand before seizing the nearest possibily to counterattack with a fast forehand top spin. Fan Zhendong once again shows off his sheer talent with his relentless attacks from both wings that can overwhelm almost all his opponents with a game close to the table and his incredible speed and accuracy. That kid has got power and comprehensive sets of skills. He also demonstrates counterattacking abilities and maturity in this match as he has been tested more often by Xu Xin than other players. I am afraid I might be other the top but I found that match breathtaking, highly enjoyable and I'm glad to witness the begining of the dominance of Fan Zhendong.

[@TenTegens]

"versatility and creativity"=quintessence of penhold grip........and I can not agree the this rpb has improved this season.........because especially in this match his rpb didn't exist..........btw penhold bitchesssssssss!!!!!!!!!!;)

[@Mazth]

Thanks so much for taking your time and responding to the community. A very interesting match, nice camera angles and just top tt!

[@Sportwagenfreak1998]

Nice quality, that`s how we want it.

[@zbazz8]

XX is very entertaining to watch.

[@SiqDopeNasty]

holy shit these guys are good

[@TheCargeek123]

Crazy, yet entertaining game! I've always wished to be this good!

[@Deobfuscator]

Loved this match. Much more entertaining than the Finals.

[@tuandokter]

The quality is too damn high! Thanks ttcountenance!

[@proballa27]

Xu Xin is amazing, but he always goes in these modes where he just wants to hit flashy shots and couldn't give a damn about the score.

[@luxon4]

yeah gotta love him

[@LeDrummerDu88]

I don't know what impressed me the most here... Fan Zhendong or the HD ?

[@whincitywhincity]

KiraWasHere -flickr Xu Xin

[@Princess_Leaf]

I think that Xu has some of the best moves in table tennis. Men, just look at these chops and these topspin counters... It's damn impressive. But Fan has an incredible backhand. This match was awesome.

[@w1nn4h]

It's so great you heard the tt comunity's voices, even before ITTF did. In 2013 its a shame to upload videos from such big tournaments in 480p. Thank you very much. :)

[@yyh8607]

I need to watch this once everyday to pump up my adrenaline for a day's work

[@heggedaponk1]

That backhand opening is just nextlevel from fan. look at the advantage it gives him. And imagine when hes master'd it.

[@700SnowMan]

Fan Zhendong has such a big talent he will be on the top soon.

[@bo7034]

You’re right ！

[@faisalfakrul3556]

You are right hes no 1 now

[@Luckyhat66]

Gotta hand it to Fan Zhendong here, but Xu Xin is so freaking agile - damn!

[@glossary90]

The skill set of Xu Xin is out of this world

[@1vezleien1libro]

Always fan of Xu Xin, but Fan Zhendong is an amazing player too. Impressive backhands!

[@eduardoarosemena655]

Out of this world, Fan has a Backhand like no other.

[@TheJojoboy12]

FUCKING 16years!!!!! Omg

[@shezie125]

That was impressive. Well done Fan

[@TRANhanoi]

WOWWWWWWWW :O Fan ZhengDong is incredible

I love fan zhendong

[@leofer9601]

This is real quality!! I´ve been watching ittf channel lately, but the quality is, in general, really poor (máx: 360p). It´s a pity you are not delivering as many videos as you used to.... Thanks a lot, anyway, for your amazing work.

[@SimonLeslieTan]

thanks

[@jameslivesey8322]

because of his BH, he'll never make it to the top. But for penholders (and maybe SH) he will be studied for decades for his perfect FH. Ma Lin is good for sure, but XX is just the best looper to ever play the game.

[@ΦιληβοςΓκατζιος-ρ4γ]

I wanna see Xu xin playing Xu xin

[@puneetmahendra8917]

why is fan zhendong twidling the bat while doing forehand smah???????

[@anysnix7545]

He has euro rubber on his backhand. Euro rubbers are faster & better for smashes than chinese rubbers. Many chinese players before him have done this

[@puneetmahendra8917]

so they have spinny rubbers on forehand and good powerful rubbers on bh???

[@Ilestun]

Puneet Mahendra Tacky rubbers are terrible fro flat hits, thats why they don't use it on BH and why they don't use it for high balls smashes.

[@Galimah]

Braden Cuss i dont like the twidling. table tennis is a very fast sport and it is impossible for the opponent to see which side he is hitting the ball with. the magnus effect is VERY different between euro rubber and chinese thacky rubbers. I hope ittf finds a solution to this soon. it have gone on for too long, and the rest of the world are like 20 years after china in developing these styles.

[@basilevs27]

+Galimah it is actually very possible to see which side he is using. That's why they are red and black. So that the distinction is clear. You don't even have to concentrate on this, you will just notice it with your peripheral vision (if you are world class player ofc).

[@StuffLeaver]

樊的反手真威～

[@WorthlessGeek]

I felt the reason why Fan lost 3 games was because he was rushing his attack a little bit. Playing a style like Fan's- quick, fast play close to the table- one must be fast, yes, but one must not rush, as rushing is detrimental to ball control. In the end, Fan pulled it together. First Petr Korbel pioneered the so called banana flick, as Liu Guoliang pioneered the reverse penhold backhand, then Wang Hao and Zhang Jike revolutionized it for both penhold and shakehand respectively. Fan takes the banana flick to a new level, with insane placements and speed. Fan is young, I'm sure once he gains more experience he'll become an almost unstoppable force.

[@arlentan]

at 4:58 How did Fan get the point?

[@Erik-lo8sg]

5:00 never seen xu xin serving with backhand
