[@benthekeeshond545]

This is the new version of Fan Zhendong. I still think that he is not as good as he was a year ago. Mr. Fan has always been a slow starter. He used to play close in the first 2 games and then blew his opponents away in later games. I guess Mr. Fan is still the same as before.

[@r.a.8618]

Agreed. What's more important, FZD doesn't need shout out of his lung to stay confident like an insecure little boy.

[@sctm81]

Harimoto celebrates every single point like he win the lottery, lol

[@sctm81]

@Fortnite Rambo yeah, but it's time to grow up. Its just hella annoying to watch him play because of that.

[@Tonno7]

@Fortnite Rambo I have been a national-level TT player and I can assure you is totally possible not to scream like that. It helps exulting sometimes for sure, but Harimoto's way of exulting is simply exaggerated. In fact take all top 20 world players, he is the only one to behave like that. Ragarding FZD being "passive"??? are you kidding right? He makes incredibly fast top spins on every fucking ball, he is a fucking alien. No one at this table tannis level it's passive except for defensive players (but also defenders are capable of attacking really well whenever the attacker give them the chance)

[@Tonno7]

@Fortnite Rambo Harimoto is a table tennis phenomenon, no one denies that but the reason is not his exaggerated screaming for sure, it's because of his incredible talent. I think instead that shouting so much is a limit for him. In 2 years he will be able to win most of the times with Chinese players if he will mature and stop acting like a child (and that is also the job of his coach), otherwise I think he will not be able to be steadily the world number 1 and leaving its signature on the history of table tennis as Ma Long did.

[@biktor6951]

Fortnite Rambo harimoto Will never be number 1 in the world

[@kanck7909]

@Fortnite Rambo Yes, he can as a table tennis player under the ITTF rules but it doesn't make him any better as a person nor does he do any good to the sport. Yes he can but so do poeple have every rights and reasons to dislike him. He CAN scream as loud as he wants. He CAN still sream even when he wins a point by clipping the edge and net. He CAN do borderline hiden serves, borderline non-vertical serves and wait until it is borderline time-wasting before serving such that the jude would not warn him for it because doing so may disturbe the flow of the match. But how much freedom from the unspoken rules, leeway, assuming of carlesssness are you willing to exploit to the point of unbearableness that everything must be set by rigid rules? You want there to be a decibel meter in the tables? You want computers to check every serve for the exact toss height? Why not just behave.

[@davidhu7605]

You have got to love Adam's commentating. He is adding so much fun to the match.

[@CalvinAytch]

@@theviniso Calderano lacks stability - when he's on, he looks very, very strong, among top 5 in the world. But once he starts swinging on everything, his hit rate goes way down. Many players outlast him just by playing steady and giving him difficult stuff to open/counter on.

[@mindrover777]

Nope, hari made a lot of unforced errors especially in the 6th game.

[@honglu2867]

Now is obvious that Fan Zhendong and Xu Xin should play in the Olympics singles. Hero Ma Long is too old to beat The opponents with confidence. Xu Xin beats Harimoto 7 to 0 because his style is the natural killer of Harimoto's, and Fan Zhendong is now an apparent Zhang Jike 2.0, with steady defense and killing counterattack.

[@minglee6018]

Trust me,not yet.

[@michael.nikolaev]

This tournament Ma Long was not playing well and this can be seen even by the way he moves during the play. However, he got as close as possible considering the injury. Also, I think Fan Zhendong's style is kind of DDOS the opponent with physical strength, while Ma Long on the other hand plays smarter and has more experience. Only time will tell whether Ma Long is able to participate in Olympic games in 2020.
