Zhang Yining just flows so effortless. Greatest of all time!

[@marvinpanda]

zhang's defense is art.

[@ozsharpener]

To be honest, not only Liu Shiwen is cute, but also her aggressive attacks have made all the games she was in more entertaining than the others.

[@Huanigan]

19 years old and #1 in the world.

[@Re1Mu2R3]

Liu Shiwen is so cute with her Bowl haircut!! : )

[@zencosuzuki8496]

Zhang Yining was the best of the best. I remember she was beat Lucjan Blaszczyk from Poland in USA . I love her technique, her moves. She was also a pretty girl. She was unique and absolutely complete player. Especially her bekhand was incredible, with a lot of controll.

[@rmachayes]

Shiwen played exactly into Zhang's game.

[@ujiztup]

what can i say? zhang is just the best of the best

[@Herold008]

@fostamina shiwen is also my favourite ping pong girl ! Cute and great player ! I have a Butterfly poster from her ... She signed to me on the Hugarian open in 2012 january ,since then the dedicated poster in frame and I keep it on my wall !!! D

[@joubtt]

This is great; more power from the ladies.

[@chayching5251]

Shang Yining resembles my wife's face. Even their smiles are dead ringer. Both are extremely intelligent and humble.

[@sephiroth9du71]

bien dit armacr, la complexité des balles rend le jeu très impressionnant.

打卡，刘诗雯2019世乒赛夺冠啦！

[@idnumber002]

we'll be seeing much more of these two...best in womens tt

[@bitnissan]

great match

[@stevema2]

this looked like a warm up :)

[@irwankrisnawan905]

Yup almost every shot is in

[@AlfinGunawan8]

liu still young and very promising, look at the score between them. chasing each other..

[@Mythyrian]

Don't know why you got voted down, but I voted you back up. She has been doing exceptionally well in 2009.

[@leexster]

liu shiwen is really a child prodigy beating top females like li xiaoxia and guo yue and many more in the competitors, she may just be the next zhang yining although she's more agressive on her attacks.

[@Netanelm7]

the name Zhang is something special Zhang Yining - best woman player Zhang Jike - best male player

[@elfenlieds7]

Netanelm7 I agree Zhang Yining is the best of female, but IMAO Ma Long is the better of this era.

[@user-uw8my9fq2h]

because Zhang is one of the most popular family names in China.. :D

[@24ghosh24]

oh ...i hope this comment was made before the rise of Ma long-the dragon warrior

[@chayching5251]

Zhang. Computer changed it. I want to correct it back.

[@hadae126]

장이밍이 그립습니다 ㅠ

[@chayching5251]

This game reminds me of teacher vs. student. This student is good but nowhere closed to her teacher.

[@jwtm4003]

zhang yining is like liu shiwen's senior! :D

[@ArisWibowoCakep]

its looks like that miu hirano's style is copying liu shiwen in this game. body language, stroke, exactly same. does anybody agree with me ?

[@leexster]

Not really. Liu changes her rhythm a lot more, and is less aggressive than Miu Hirano (this also means Liu makes fewer mistakes).

[@leexster]

o, lol thx

[@Kexi290]

めちゃくちゃブースターの打球音w

[@leexster]

@tyoungos Liu Shiwen lost to Ding Ning in the semifinals!! $1000 please...

[@MadeAccount]

Did you lose $1000?

[@BollForte94]

@tyoungos I will bet 10000€ against it okay ?

[@TTPokemonLover]

lol, liu shiwen got so frustrated cause zhang kept blocking everything back

[@ewooll]

@taufoofar nice comment! The internet has created too many armchair critics who, unhappy with their dreary lives find some kind of solace running down successful people. Sportswomen in this case. Saying, possibly, the best female player ever, can only block shows a lack of intelligence.
