[@TrystwithTableTennis]

A note to the commentator: @ 3:02 u mentioned that India's national sport is cricket. It is not. Even tho it is the most popular and followed sport, the national sport is hockey :)

[@ilogicalmind3618]

Even hockey is not the national sport.😂😂 Check the recent ney

India doesn't have any National Sport - RTI

[@zjktheman]

Well played Manika 👍

[@veervd]

Manika is upcoming table tennis star, she played really well except few loose shots especially in last set after 4-2 against wang. Well I am still amazed with the 4th set 9th point rally for Manika

[@jamessoo4486]

Honestly, I don't think she is an up coming star. Why? A great player should win points by their skill and not by their opponent making mistakes.

@@jamessoo4486 why are u so aganinst her

[@jamessoo4486]

@@mysongskkg3381 I am not against her. I would like to see her winning her points by "real" table tennis skills like Deng Yaping rather than relying on her anti-spin long pips returning block to confuse her opponents, and thus winning the point by her opponent's mistakes. Absolutely nothing against her personally.

[@beawarrior2806]

@@jamessoo4486 LOL You seems gentlemen and She is improving her skills. Everybody knows no one can win simply relying on rubber, one needs to attack and she is attacking. Earlier back in 2018-19 she only relied on rubber but now she has added a lot of skills and am sure she will continue to add slowly

[@shiishinchiu6636]

Manika will not go far if she still continues playing this style.

[@silaturahmitenismeja1901]

really good achievement for manika😎👍

[@AnkurParikh81]

Nice, MB has worked on her inverted rubber play.

[@mrsith1402]

Great match. Love the commentary too.

[@robk7002]

WY played strong game! MB has great spin variation owing to long pips backhand followed by forehand top! Strongly disorienting.

[@diegox.longpips]

Amazing 🎉

[@unwishfulthink]

That long pip spin reversal gives me a headache.

[@TheRajapala]

Manika Batra's hairdo reminds me about Sentinel isl.

[@taynguyenxanh133]

Manika plays verry well. I Like

Salam dari bintiker Indonesia yang selalu jadi bulan"an Warga liciner.. 😂

[@pensacolatabletennis]

curious what Manika Patra play with?

[@4m4lmini4wdhobbyshop7]

Not many can play with this style... The secret to defeat this style is power loop kill from both wings .. long serve with no spin ,topspin or backspin to the lp... And kill it ... If u cant attack just keep the ball on table and wait for your chance to attack powerfully... If they can block it . Then keep the ball in the table and wait for another chance .. if their block goes high .. then u can flat hit the ball winning the point... Just my opinion of course... Btw i play a lot against this style in asia

[@electricrice]

Yes I'm sure you could beat Batra if WY couldn't 🤣🤣

[@fahizhalif7103]

What set up Blade manika Batra?..

[@AGK-l3s]

What is intriguing about Batra is not her playing, but her super long legs😢 How did she grow it😢

[@srinidhisawarikar5371]

The commentator needs to know his facts before making statements, cricket is not India's national sport, hockey is! Good god 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@mrsith1402]

India's national sport is complaining that commentators get their national sport wrong

[@feideepking]

India tt superstar is coming

[@sharadchandakacherla8268]

GG .

[@shenzhenpingpong]

That was painful for Wang. She's not good against the red long pips, pushes too much and doesn't step aside to use her forehand spin. Batra got to choose when to attack, she could just stab the ball at Wang's middle safely.

[@jamessoo4486]

This style of long pips play is close to being disgusting. ITTF should ban the long pips for unfair advantage. As we know long pips are anti-spin, and you can use the normal black side to attack. Not a "gentleman" way of game.

[@shenzhenpingpong]

@@jamessoo4486 not an unfair advantage. You have to be good to use those pips at the top level. And the pips have their limitations

[@jamessoo4486]

@@shenzhenpingpong the anti-spin is an unfair advantage

[@timothychan4566]

Players who complain about long pips are usually players who are simply inept and can't play against them

[@jamessoo4486]

@@timothychan4566 timothy you talk rubbish. Ping ping is not my game. Just that it is disgusting when a player win a point not because of skillful smash or backhand spin, but its because you depend on your opponent to make mistakes. Looks like you are one of those disgusting players.

[@ateksudianto6237]

The only weapon of manika is long pip spin... no other variant weapon in her arsenal... no chance to fight chinese player in long run or long term

[@inyourface123]

What the heck is long pip spin? Long pips do not generate any spin, lol. It only reverses the spin of the incoming ball. Anyway, if she can reach the SF of such a big international tournament with “no other variant weapon in her arsenal” (as per your expert opinion), then her “only weapon” is pretty good I guess 😉

[@mariusscheijgrond9061]

[@jamessoo4486]

ITTF should ban the long pips totally as it gives the player an unfair advantage to counter the spin of an opponent. Even if a long pips player wins, it is not considered a hero because of the unfair advantage of anti-spin.

[@jarotsuharyaji2978]

With the same logic, ITTF should also ban highly spiny and fast rubbers as even more players are taking advantages of them. Taking your suggestion, player should use to what people used in the beginning, a kind of short pip hard bat i believe. LOL

[@jamessoo4486]

@@jarotsuharyaji2978 Looks like you are living in a world of little progress. Every racket sport in the world, be it tennis, badminton, squash etc, the sport and players move with technology. I am amazed at how that a person of your intellect can make such suggestion. I really hope ITTF will ban pimples which made the game so boring and disgust that one gain point by hoping the opponent makes mistakes
