World Cup: Wang Hao-Dimitrij Ovtcharov

[@hassammahmoodq]

Did i just see Hao smile ? wow :p

[@animatorcharles]

at the end, they look like really good friends right after an amazing game. at this level, there is nothing more than a smile.

[@siveange127]

even though dima lost, he played really well :)

[@youhyunnam9426]

It looks like wang hao’s initial strategy of short pushes really worked out here. With dima’s backhand, it wasn’t a given that wang hao would win in a backhand rally. Dima, who was expecting backhand flicks, went backwards to prepare a counterattack and lost his balance. That gave wang hao the edge at the start. In the later part of the match, where wang hao switched back to his normal play, dima was uncertain in getting back which gave wang hao the advantage.

[@v.h.3027]

Great play from both athlets. Love to see Wang Hao smiling, rare occasion

[@AlexWr-np2hb]

Wang Hao -- supergamer !!!

[@nealtran6844]

Dima threw everything at Wang Hao, corners, net. Wang Hao returned an edge ball.

[@perniciousnc]

dima's looping, has more hitting than spinning, thats why he had trouble with joo. his most threatening weapon is his close table backhand reaction time loop. but since he hits more than he spins it. he has less control. ZJK got warmed up late but he had the upper hand the whole match for qualifying group. WangHao was too cocky tat he underestimated Dima last match. congratz dima for having the confidence boost haha and improvement of coz thanks forr sharing

[@atmandeshmane3838]

3:57 OMG what a great place to finish "backhand" by dima ;p ;p

[@cllllllllll]

Wang Hao figured it out way earlier than Zhang Jike. Penhold's short game is the difference. Ovtcharov forced to play passively as he was pretty much controlled by Wang Hao's short pushes. It's always Ovtcharov pushing it high or long for Wang Hao to attack. Then it became "one of those games".

buen video ojala subas mas

[@captainpowers8551]

I love Wang Hao's shouts. Choway!!!

[@scylla24]

@MrLegendman13 eh, ma lin and wang hao, all look really stocky, in wang hao's case, it doesn't hurt his speed or reaction rate, in fact it probably gives him a lot more power, his shots have one of the best combinations of spin and power of any player.

[@Izraphel]

dima played good in the first set, but then the chinese psychological advantage prevailed once again. dima is currently good enough to beat wang hao but the chinese aura of invincibility is hard to ignore in important matches.

[@rosun82]

2:00.."Do I look like Ma Lin now?".....muhahaha

[@christianadriananiceta2753]

woah.. yeah.. I can visualize Ma Lin doing that attack

[@Thenakedchef5k77777]

オフチャロフのプレイはとてもパワフルですね～。 それにしても王晧強過ぎ・・・・

[@MrPawany]

Why i don't see matches of of ma lin any more? :(

[@wirus32120]

From where Wang Hao get in 2011 t-shirt from 2012 WTTTC? :D

[@kurintoSmash]

@eFCiKay i guess he was just proving that it was a xmas gift in their match last world team cup... :D

[@pbsmick]

Did someone dim the lights at 3:40 ?

[@stalvio007]

anyway Dima improved a lot... he became a really dangarous for all chinese players

[@frickenbaba]

Even the Europeans are starting to use CHO!

[@UsakoKirei]

@jazzyjester i guess so.

[@khoolguy07]

Man... they were playing like arch enemies!!

[@BlizAttack]

@MrLegendman13 for some reason quite a few top Chinese penholders are on the heavier side, like even in his prime Liu GouLiang looks chubbier than Kong LiHui. Ma Lin and Wang Hao looks chubbier than Wang LiQin. Finally, even Xu Xin is said to be on the heavier side (remember during a new report he was complaining /joking that his coach wants another 10-15 pounds off him). On the other hand top Chinese shakehanders are mostly skinny :P say Ma Long, Zhang Jike... Was always wondering why?

[@КирилЦанков-в2з]

Fan Zhendong is quite heavy, and shakehand. Xu Xin has always looked skinny to me. I think it's just a coincidence.

[@youhyunnam9426]

I think xu xin is on the heavier side because he’s taller than most of the cnt

[@Takasanwhich]

@eFCiKay Yeah! That was surprising

[@limlim4251]

王皓王打球很美。

[@Opalance]

that is one unlucky match for Dima, so many net balls and edge balls against him...

[@stickyr34]

Good match!!!

[@skouti1skouta]

I'm the only one who have heard "Oy oy oy" at 2:03 ? :D

[@pokemon17007]

Haha Wang was so happy when he won Dima.

[@clanwarexperiment2397]

Взять партию у Ванг Хао много стоит.

[@Dante-ot6ie]

@MrPawany Because Ma Lin lose to Quentin Robinot xD

[@MrLegendman13]

@scylla24 ya,but i just wish he slim down abit :p

[@JazzyJesterTechPing]

Revenge Time...

[@maxd3480]

A battle of the most obnoxious Cho’s

[@BollForte94]

[@SeanMcGibbon]

::ahem:: ... ... ... FIRST!

[@MrPawany]

@Dante007 Ahh I just saw the match :(

[@栗坊主-w6r]
