6:36 That smile on Xu Xin's face so priceless

[@maggiefung4228]

Two penhold legends and what an incredible battle! Non-stop metal game till the very end.

[@pukulu]

Xu Xin improved a lot since then.

[@batulmadraswala8892]

Ya !!!1 rank 😲😲😲

[@markterrin8673]

A lot!!!! More then a loy

[@davidyu1813]

he's got much better at RPB, but I really hope to see some Ma Lin style TPB lol especially those chop blocks. RPB simply isn't as entertaining to watch (except Wang Hao's). But I guess it'll only get rarer unless ittf decides to bring smaller sized balls back.

[@pukulu]

@@davidyu1813 When I used to play many years ago we always talked about how well the spin stayed on the ball. Lighter, less robust table tennis balls would lose part of their spin as they traveled from where they were hit to where the opponent made contact.

[@pukulu]

@@davidyu1813 The reverse penhold backhand is better for topspin than for backspin. That's only a small deficiency for attacking players but it can make a difference.

[@Mischgi]

What a match! I really thought Ma Lin was gonna win because back then he definitely had more experience and skills. His forehand angles are just crazy. Xu Xin didn't yet have his backhand skills. Mindblowing match all the way

[@MrASETPresident]

This was a legend TT game, battle of the 2 best CPH players at the time, all CPH players must watch this video to enjoy & learn. 👍👍🏓

[@kuntowibisono1621]

These 2 penholders make table tennis looks so tricky and difficult :)

[@userpupkin499]

Yes. It's much more interesting then to see pure attackers finals. They are both shy)))

[@NanaSuryana]

Amazing

[@dananghardianto5576]

Beautiful voice of adzan during the set 2.

[@flagella1337]

XX's BH was really much different back then, employing much less RPB but more push blocks.

[@benthekeeshond545]

But his push blocks are really good. I wonder why he abandons that tactic.

[@godgunsandgoldens]

@@benthekeeshond545 Players who use push block are forced to use it when ball is coming fast and surprises them so snappy short topspin stroke works. XX got better so he was able to spin with backhand which is considered a more advanced shot for penhold player.

[@Suparyadi-ed8ys]

Amazing amazing amazing 👍

[@anthonykorac5075]

Yes

[@jykpeace]

i think ma lin is the best technician of table tennis

[@zabbarkhan8396]

If we think about the age, Ma Lin was far far better in this match.

[@tamunamenabde402]

great match

[@tribikramdhar3275]

58:22 RPB ❤❤

[@MrThearijal]

I love Xu Xin with this traditional penhhold backhand

[@bobmalack481]

No..Ma Lin is 'traditional' penhold-both forehand and backhand are hit from 1 side of raquet, Xiu Xin uses opposite sides for forehand and and backhand (Reverse penhold grip) Robert at 67.

[@MrThearijal]

@@bobmalack481 I know what traditional and RPB is.. Occasionally yes, even Ma Lin use RPB to attack. But when blocking and pushing this young Xu Xin still use traditional BH compared to him nowadays.

[@rianpanji2514]

马琳的短球太细腻了，处理放高球也是一绝。

[@leonleon263]

Ma lin legend

[@user-op1xt5it4j]

马琳发球的迷惑性太强了，同样的动作不同的旋转，前三板技术和台内技术都是天花板级别的，10年的马琳虽然已经过了巅峰期了，失误也多，但还是很强。许昕的正手技术和手感真的是太好了，只是那个时候的脚步技术没有很好，都不是两人的巅峰期，但依然是很精彩的新老对决

[@1cctung]

ma lin is pingpong art

[@samuelqianjiang6166]

Back then Xu Xin was still using back-hand push more. Later on, the coach told him to give it up totally.

[@confusedc7241]

刚看完澳门赛过来恶补一下，马琳的打法好诡异啊，球路变化好快一会短一会拉长的，传说中的遛人吗？是不是因为小球转大球才会这样。。。许昕二十岁的时候已经很强很稳了，都太优秀，好看，致敬！！

New to Table Tennis, so could someone explain to me what is the deal with the touching of the table near the net so much?? what does that represent??? Thanks

[@dr.j7542]

removing dust particles that fall unto the table from the net as they could affect the direction of a spinning ball much more than a clean surface

[@alas26]

Anyone know what blade Xu Xin is using here?

[@user-xs4wd7tg4o]

Seems like the hybrid wiod nct, maybe

[@user-xs4wd7tg4o]

Maybe Xu Xin uses the Stiga offensive wood nct. Both they use blades with a hard top venners. So Ma Linn maybe is using the Yasaka Man Linn extra Offensive

[@god20032]

STIGA Offensive Wood NCT

Beside good bet... you must good of the your hand 😅😅just kidding

[@user-ym5yd1yz8m]

世界最高峰のペン対決。 名勝負。 お互いサーブ、レシーブミスが全くないのがすごい。

[@penholdTV]

Imagine you try to concentrate, thinking about your next shot, minding your own business. And all of a sudden…it’s ALLLLAAAHHHHUUUUUU AKBARRRR time and some dude is yelling something you’ve never heard before in your life. At least you play in a country full of religious people, where ironically, your own country systematically kill and imprison the same group of people at home. If I’d be a Saudi, having to pay Chinese a bunch of price money, you bet I’d turn up the volume of the speakers to max and let the muezzin know that he should not stop yelling to annoy the heck out of the two. The Chinese guys would never dare to ask the umpire to wait for the singing to end. 😂 On the flight back they go like: „Dude, was he singing for us?“

[@penholdTV]

Of course it’s the Benjamins that convince players to go to empty stadiums in countries with zero interest in your sport. It just proofs that even table tennis is a business for the old white men at ITTF.

[@manikchandraroy8357]

[@desertcruisin5988]

You can clearly see Ma Lin not playing 100%. He's old and got the agenda to let strive the future Chinese star player. Table-tennis is a politicaly/economicaly hugely important sport in this totalitarian country. The players have to stick to their course an this is a prime example for that

[@purpose6113]

You mean Ma Lin?

[@dickn.ormous1064]

After the Tokyo debacle is safe to say Ma Lin was better than Xu Xin even in doubles.

[@rimondschein9075]

different eras. Can't compare

[@anthonyrocco5612]

How the hell is it even a debacle lmao. Mizutani owned him TWICE in the Olympics (Rio and Tokyo) lol. He hasn’t even won that many singles champion in the world lol. And besides, Mizutani is a MUCH better player in pressured situation. Xu Xin and many Chinese players only plays dominant when they have a significant upper hand. The moment when they are pressured or cornered, they crumble like a paper tower lol.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@anthonyrocco5612 Yup,Mizutani was a big talent.If he were 4 inches taller he would have been more dominant.He was player of the decade considering the level of Japanese TT before him.

[@ds_0799]

Jun Mizutani is a much better player than Xu Xin. That was not a debacle

[@shentimo]

all ma’s serves are illegal ,far from vertical

[@yunguo99]

there is no 100% vertical. it is just referees call. basically to the body a bit.

[@HungNguyen-zo1sn]

Anyone see the older guy performed lots and lots illigal serves? He throws the ball very low, onto his body to conseal his racket. This makes Xu Xin missed readings the spin. This is sort of cheating.

[@ss-cj4lo]

I think the service rules are just not as strict at the time but I am not exactly sure

That older guy is Ma Lin one of the best servers.Xu Xin would also concealed the ball with his body but his touch is nowhere near Ma's level.
