Fan Zhendong vs Koki Niwa | 2018 ITTF Austrian Open Highlights (1/4)

[@inyourface123]

God created Koki Niwa not to become a champion, but to entertain the TT lovers like no one else. 😀

[@WellMefisto]

I don't think that's what Koki wishes kkkkkkkkk

[@Serhii_R]

+Inyourface Because KN plays easily (like a boss) even if he lost. No tremor, there is not giving up. Like a man

[@JamesLee-pk8oj]

It seems that KN plays just for fun, not for win:)

[@umutozk]

@@JamesLee-pk8oj In football, Messi also plays for fun :)) and we all know his status.

[@mathematechxblackboard1942]

If Koki Niwa play an offensive game rather than being fancy, he can be really scary to his opponents. He is very skilled yet he does not utilize his skills.

[@2n9d]

What a match!! Even he lost, I was convinced again that Niwa is one of the most talented and creative players in the world. And I believe my conviction doesn’t come from the fact that he is my compatriot. His performance is just admirable. The only problem is that he lost again. Congratulation for FZD.

[@deepdark795]

"The only problem is that he lost again" -- LOL

[@WellMefisto]

I like Niwa, but sometimes he looks to lack energy. He plays like it didn't matter.

[@AndreiMateusMancillaHerrera19]

He has the Drunken Master style. Also he is a genious lol but he is surpassed by explosive-agresive style nowadays. I think if Waldner would play nowadays like he played before he would lose too.

[@david0ade]

Xu Xin is more creative

[@韩国80年代民主光州事]

Xu Xin is more creative

[@APEXPASSION674]

I JUST LOVE WATCHING KOKI NIWA PLAY!!!he is easily the most creative player from the Japan national team and I learn the chopblock from him!

[@yogenderdagar9336]

Koki Niwa is a gentle giant. Love watching him play.

[@BestEquipmentShots]

Yogender Dagar he's really not very tall at all. So hardly a giant.

[@Rexspinner_Dionysus]

12:19 no look counter shot Koki niwa style I love it

[@ShukusatsuDirk]

Koki Niwa - Amazing.. loved it..

[@dhavalpathak]

koki is fun to watch.

[@tabletennisbykaran9608]

Ok

[@archangel9674]

1:30 One of THE rallys of the Year in my opinion! Koki Niwa is always fun to watch, especially against the chinese

[@ML_KawanPingpong]

That's truee

[@LemonCat34]

Only Japanese player i always waiting to watch, so much fun :)

[@tenntou2109]

1:30 ラリーも凄いけどその中で樊振東がロビングとラリーに合わせてラケット回してフォアバック切り替えてるのが素晴らしい

[@theviniso]

Koki Niwa is the Nick Kyrgios of table tennis. He may never be a champion, but his game is a joy to watch.

[@韩国80年代民主光州事]

Koki Niwa=Nick Kyrgios its actually a little bit similar😂funny

[@leonawroth2516]

Only that Nick is an asshole on the field and Koki is a humble respectful dude.

[@inyourface123]

Yeah, good analogy.

[@kristofbaumann8180]

Yes, I agree, but Koki Niwa has won a junior world champioship, which isn't so bad. I don't know much about Kyrgios though.

[@theviniso]

@@kristofbaumann8180 I just find their game styles kinda similar: an endless talent and too laidback to actually win championships(on top levels, at least).

[@shivamk.804]

Imagine, what if Koki decides to get serious about Table Tennis one good day! :D

[@一脸滑稽-k5v]

Hopefully Not . ! there're too many serious players nowadays. It's much better to watch someone playing in an entertaining style

[@siegmars.450]

Shivam K. : haha.. but I think, he plays seriously. He celebrates his talented own style and we all enjoy this, doesn‘t we?

[@92SMIF]

He was once 5th in the world! What are you talking about???

[@bryanwells4063]

@@92SMIF Just like Xu Xin, he is blessed with talent, and also cursed with it. He can win without trying his absolute hardest, he is able to flow with the game and play without too much thought, just reacts and wins so he keeps doing it. Same with Xu Xin, he allows himself to be put in defensive positions away from the table, but because of his superior athletecism and ability to power the ball back from far back, he never has a problem even if he doesn't play the "best" way. Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Fan Zhendong are examples of players who maybe arent blessed with as much "talent" per se, they have carefully crafted playstyles and strokes that are designed to fit an extremely specific playstyle that can counter anything and create their own power. They can't just "go with the flow" so they have to mold their playstyle to fit with the trend, and thats why they are above and beyond the rest!

[@johnli317]

I like Koki Niwa, whose attitude's fascinating.

[@drq2317]

1:30 what a rally

[@williamsampson4460]

For sure!!! I expect this point to make top 10 rallies of the year. The rally has placement, lobbing, and power at the end.

[@drq2317]

10:15 fan zhendong backhand😎

[@maroubrajunction]

I would consider this as one of the best matches in 2018

[@jedlaelmalapote6000]

Koki just makes table tennis look so inviting

[@FrankGixx99Motovlog]

Koki Niwa, the most silent player. Very opposite to Harimoto.

[@akas224]

Harimoto's parents are Chinese. Koki Niwa is too tipical Japanese . Wish Koki is more aggressive like him.

[@abirhossain3517]

Koki Niwa have changed and improved his playing style, Nice match

[@The.N3979]

Even though Fan won the match, it seems like Koki stole the spotlight of the match lol.

[@vyacheslavbrodovoy2039]

Koki Niwa is amazing... however, watching Fan beating him is when you realize how truly great Fan Zhendong is.

[@TimoCrysisFreak]

FZD even wins, but Niwa is in Spotlight the entire Match :D

[@siegmars.450]

Magic Niwa - and what a Fight at the finish! Pure enjoyment all the time 🤩

[@peterl392]

Time out Japanese coach: if you don't want to lose too bad, just play as many exhibition points as possible

[@bkkklol2785]

Niwa’s game is always so entertaining

[@quentinzhu2067]

Japanese coach: I want you guys at least play some interesting points when you thinking you 100% gonna lose.

[@basta60]

lol

[@basta60]

It's a game like this that got me fired up!

[@アジスアベバ-h1s]

ファンっていつもやばいラリーしてるイメージだけど、丹羽が相手だからか本領発揮できてないよな。 丹羽の肩の力が抜けたような独特な雰囲気が相手に伝わってしまうんだろうな。 丹羽が試合してるとき普段強い相手が本領発揮できてない様子が観てたりして面白い。 あと負けそうになってヤケクソで球打ったり回転かけたりして遊びはじめるところ好き。

[@petrusincraian198]

Very powerful rally. Excellent game. Thanks.

[@romanseminogov9604]

chop blocking fzd's shots takes some serious nerve

[@tiujay]

I love this kid, Koki Niwa!

[@pukulu]

Niwa is amazingly quick and has great touch but Fan is much more powerful and also is consistent.

[@MyThoughtsBelow]

FZD has the lefty strat down pack, with lots of wideshots and surprising down the line blasts.

[@toekneema]

Great game. Koki just not enough aggression overall to get thru FZD

[@Levinho_Free_The_Fire]

Finnaly good quality

[@hyultracolor]

fantastic rally, koki chop very entertaining

[@coolmemerlyh3721]

koki niwa amazing!!

[@Curcuma50]

12.05. For the first Time, i see Fan smile !!!! I love!

[@enthymeme4856]

Niwa looks like he's in really good form right now. I wish he wouldn't attempt so many chop blocks against a player like Fan because they just aren't as effective. But I understand his habit of trying crazy shots because I do the same.

[@bryanwells4063]

I think its his fall bad, last ditch effort when he is reaching out of position or desperate, he doesn't do it by choice. It is a specialty shot that he is comfortable with, and if he is out of position he will go for it. The difference is that Fan Zhendongs specialty is power no matter where the ball comes, a fast counter is his last ditch effort, otherwise he just takes control of the ralley and forces the opponent to risk a fast counter or a slow block, which he will take advantage of. A dominant style if anything

[@jamesblunt3886]

昨天看评论我还以为樊振东输了呢。。。丹羽孝希这种漂亮球都是搏杀球，搏杀球就是高风险高回报，他心里也知道实力悬殊，日本队员都喜欢搏杀，要么漂亮球，要么死得干脆。。。看着评论吹得，我特么都以为樊振东输了。。。

Not a single reverse pendulum serve from FZD in this match??

[@canicetang8837]

FZD is playing against a leftie. Reverse pendulum from a right hand player will always landing the backhand side of the left hand player. Flipping banana shots are much easier on the backhand. Since Niwa is crafty. FZD knew better. That's the right strategy.
