7:48 Ma Long - "Wanna play a funny last point?" Koki Niwa - "No"

[@radioactive3657]

Rather they humiliated Koki Niwa because he clearly let himself win at that point;)

[@shashafanw6484]

Niwa is a great player, without unrealistic ambitions. He takes this as a job, not as a mission, so he does not show much emotion. This is a healthy attitude when dealing with a rival unlikely to beat. Chinese Team evaluated his behaviors and got a summary like this - First, he has his own tempo - he sort of waits for the ball to find him, so do not expect him to push you; secondly, he does not have a plan, so you just have to go with his flow, and figure out a way on the spot - and this makes it difficult to prepare in advance. He is a well respected player.

[@arathelmcarthur8573]

I’ve never seen someone who recovered from an injury and improved. Astonishing

[@ayun1307]

Who do you mean?

[@FD1CE]

They both play absolutely LOVELY! Super charming match

[@spaceinvader384]

@7:21 @7:34 both well trained basic control shown here. No other countries can show these immense skills. Awesome...….Ma Long is not fancy but he can always find the way to beat the opponent. Many times he stays behind in the first game to study then steamrolls the other player. Looks like he's still got a few more years for us to adore...….…Good on him.

So, do you really enjoy koki's boring playing??

[@benthekeeshond545]

@@Curnewton That Harimoto kid is annoying but come to think about it, he is not doing anything against the rules of TT. He may be overdoing it but maybe it does help his fighting spirit. On the other hand, Koki Niwa should pick up maybe 20% of what Harimoto been doing in a match. Koki needs to show more emotions. That should pump him up.

[@Curnewton]

[@v.h.3027]

Niwa's style vs Ma Long is "I`m not going even to try to get the ball, it's too far"

[@ex0duzz]

Damn, Ma long didn't seem to miss even one shot.. No one can beat Ma long when he's playing at this high level and consistency/confidence etc. Maybe FZD or Xu Xin at their best also.

[@shenzhenpingpong]

You can always trust Niwa to try hard at the beginning and then don’t care or give up.

I find the matches between Ma and Niwa are always, invariably, extremely boring. And this was no different. Using a cannon to kill a bird.

Andreas Houg it was obvious

[@shenqiangshou]

As tricky as Koki is, Ma Long is just too skilled and too powerful. The third last point in the last game was something Koki has done to lots of people. Haha, but this time, it's the dictator at the helm.

[@sungod9797]

You mean second to last right... Ma got the third to last And if you do mean the second to last, that wasn’t Niwa doing anything... Ma was obviously offering an exhibition point for the crowd since he clearly couldn’t lose... Niwa was just an asshole about it

[@knotwilg3596]

Ma Long must have trained so hard to change his game from forehand power to backhand speed (and still keep forehand power).

[@kevinrichardson7444]

If you haven't tried it already, try watching table tennis matches at a slower speed. It makes it so much more enjoyable seeing how the players position themselves and their paddles while competing. I personally watch at 0.25 playback speed.

Mr incredible! He is really the best and strongest player in the world of all time!! Always FAVORITE

[@lewists9475]

Sen 7 it is impossible to aim for net ball. Try play the sport and u will understand

[@yulwu6758]

@@sen7167 no professional player actually aim for the net. People aim to get a low trajectory to lower the quality the opponent's return, but no one actually expect to use the net to their advantage. Hitting the net breaks opponent's form and is always unintentional, same case with hitting on the edge. Consistency is key in sports, net ball is too inconsistent and unreliable that it cant be used as an actual strat. When you hit the ball you have a clear goal of where to place it, the spin to give and where opponent will be, hitting the ball disrupts all of that
