For Understanding, It's whoever first beats the other 2 players in a round robin, between FZD, XX and ZQH. If FZD wins this one he wins the tournament. If XX wins, then it's 1-1-1, and they go again (with a one set showdown)

What a game , Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong are literally table tennis gods at this point. Wow

[@honest_noise]

Can't even describe what I just watched...

[@spaceinvader384]

Hoping this global virus scare stops before March. Table tennis standard and style have advanced so much since the Waldner/LGL days. The spin, speed, and angle are so much more powerful and drastic. Singles & doubles' Rallies are so spectacular. Being able to watch it ALL HERE is incredible. Greatest and deepest respect to the uploaders.

[@kaesees]

The heart and fighting spirit that FZD showed in the 4th game were amazing.

[@srsav3kkknosk1llsen]

By far the best game of the year so far (which isnt hard as we are only 4 days in xD). XuXin surely had it on his racket but Fan prevailed again with sick shots in close moments. SICK GAME

[@wonghow]

wow Xu Xin has incredible variation. Only Fan Zhendong's fitness can keep up.

[@DimaKats2]

Wow great match! It's a pity XX lost, he played really well this time against FZD. But FZD's reaction tine is out of this world!

Fan Zhendong is in the clouds, wow! How he counters Xu Xin’s spiny loop with almost flat angle to cross table, is the best backhand technique against heavy topspin I have ever seen.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

FZD, after losing in Diamond 2019 at Singapore, has sharpened and improved his game to an unprecedented level. If not out of form, I don't think anyone can go past him this year.

[@cindyliao7855]

a good match. FZD now plays smarter. he knows better when to use power and when to withhold it and apply other techniques instead to return a ball, which makes the game more fun to watch. XX's backhand has improved a lot and this makes him even more difficult to deal with.

[@Fontsman]

[@kristofbaumann8180]

And the rest too

[@dominikk8547]

It is interesting how much both push after the serve. Especially FZD usually has great opening flicks but both are cautious of the big counter loops of the opponent and neither really wants to open the rally so we see often 3-4 pushes before somebody opens the rally with a topspin

[@infott85]

What a match, fantastic FZD 😍

[@Ragameiste]

Who turned on FZDs buttons? He was heading towards disaster at the middle of last year. This is at a theoretical level that I cannot even comprehend.

[@spaceinvader384]

FZD, with his new/wonderful BH block, he'll be No. 1 for a loooong time. Might have to thank the loss to LYJ's perfect BH flick in T2 Diamond that forced him to develop/perfect this technique. He retaliated in Nov 2019 Austrian QF but it seems he's advanced even more here. Both know each other's game so well, only on-court performance can decide the difference. Happy and enjoy it so much. Thanks for the upload.

[@artaz899]

Xu Xin lost game 4 and this was the moment he steps down his inspiration and release the grip around Fan's neck . The youngster plays to win no matter hard or easy Xu Xin kind of regretted the lost set and his willpower was drained when he knew it is going to be by far harder match for him and the win will need luck or Fan to step down his game and Fan is just shaved of his nerves and turned beast mode .

[@guimakol]

pour battre Xu Xin, c'est très simple : un service court juste derrière le filet et il doit relever la balle et mac une fraise sur son ventre, il n'aura pas le temps de réagir; quand il a le service, faire semblant de couper la balle et la renvoyer longue en top spin, il va devoir bloquer et là tu smash facile ou alors il coupe en défense mais il ne sait pas jouer la défense et là tu le balades de gauche à droite; mais surtout pas le laisser faire son jeu.

[@underrated7725]

I played a guy in ping pong( table tennis) same thing. Anyway this guy had a spin on his serve that made you nervous because if you didn't hit it back right it would hit the net. If you got a killer serve you can beat your opponent pretty easy. I love table tennis though. I grew up playing it at the recreation center growing up. I absolutely love ping pong.
