[@Independent_Man3]

Lin Shidong is severely underrated. This is the second time he beat Fan Zhendong. He also beat Liang Jingkun 3-0 two months ago. He was the only one at WTT Star Contender Doha who took 2 games off of Wang Chuqin. The Chinese coaches should put him in the Chinese national team to give him more exposure; he needs to be developed ASAP to replace the old guys like Ma Long and Lin Gaoyuan.

[@druidzown]

HAHA LGY is an old guy?

[@КексКексов-ж7е]

Это договорной матч

[@danieljablecki]

LS will replace Ma Long after olimpics i think

[@michikatsutsugikuni3098]

Ma long is performing better than lin gaoyuan and fan zhendong against foreign players rn (except that loss against franziska now).

[@Valeria-qb8if]

Lately MaLong lost quite a number of matches against different players ​@@michikatsutsugikuni3098

Name: Lin Shidong. Job: Fan Zhen Dong

[@pingsunday]

Lin Shidong's backhand is so fast. Could he be the next Fan Zhendong in the future?

[@eshizhamsuev]

I think yes. He is amazing

[@leahliu7139]

They have a lot in common, you know. Hey, wait aren’t you the one who posts those cool ping pong 🏓 videos?

@@leahliu7139 yes, nice to meet you

[@r.h.4577]

The next chinese big player!👌👋👋

[@jackzhu7875]

need more experience

[@michikatsutsugikuni3098]

Unbelievable game from lin. Fzd didn't just play bad or anything, it was just that lsd completely overpowered him. Not sure if any other player stands a chance against him rn if he continues to play like this. Maybe wang chuqin. But only bc of experience.

[@xiaosongwu6744]

Lin knows Fed’s game too well, if you look closely, in the middle of backhand rally, Lin could precisely anticipate Fzd’s timing of stepping aside to hit forehand, and Lin would hit Fzd’s forehand. By that time, Fzd’s momentum made him impossible to move back. It’s a play again and again. Amazing!

[@DomDiDomDom-ql9rw]

Fan seems a bit exhausted there, normally he is the most explosive one if it comes to reactions. Im wondering how long you can hold on to such a playstyle without any complications or bad effeckts to your Body. To me ShaoPang is the "MostExplosiveAllTime", next to the "GOAT". 😁 But yeah, we just witnessed some rly good Backhandplay fro LSD there, with no time to react.

[@SilentlyWe]

Crazy game from Lin Shidong - And the commentators sounded like they couldn't be more bored! If it was Felix Lebrun, they would be out of their fucking minds at the potential, but because it's Lin Shidong, they were quiet the entire time at this HUGE upset

[@賴志偉-d7h]

Because it isn't a Chinese defeat and they are anti-China.

[@TobyShorin]

they did this already when he had his breakout game and it was really annoying

[@nereizn1]

Did the umpire confuse Fan and Lin. What was going on at the beginning of second set?!

[@chaohuang2440]

The two players should wear different colors, so the umpire and audience would not be confused.

[@panda-wk3lm]

Yes i thought i Was the one getting wrong

[@passion_for_physics]

they thought zhengdong should be the winner

[@linzhg78]

Lin’s BH is more like Zhang Jike. Such small action can generate so much explosive force.

[@mitchy98]

This game shows the depth of the Chinese squad

[@賴志偉-d7h]

Which is why I rolled my eyes whenever someone says "in the furure XXX will be a problem for Chinese players" as if the world stands still and there won't be new Chinese players.

[@zzzthaoster]

I just found out, Fan and Malong are not going far in this tournament because they're setting things up to win big at the Olympics again.

[@quasarleon4645]

These backhand shots from Lin right to the end of the table's corners are ridiculous ..

[@AliAbidalkareem]

Ikr, devastating shots.

[@listrahtes]

Incredible looking back at this, after Timo dismantled Shidong with his high iq game. I honestly thought Shidong would blast Timo 3:0 but instead I had to learn how impactful an intelligent game can be.

[@dikaosoune]

Dear God, please do whatever necessary to bring back the old angle. Amen.

[@phigo4kins]

Looks Like 2 Blood Brothers Playing Against Each Other. They Look So Much Alike.

[@DSKHo1968]

Only from afar! As they have a similar build, though FZD is bigger but from afar with the same shirt and the camera panned out, you can only tell the difference by their haircut!😅

[@lahancodon]

LSD's backhand is illegal.

[@Independent_Man3]

Wang Chuqin vs Lin Shidong is the new Ma Long vs Fan Zhendong.

[@fardudezilla]

tough draw for FAN, this should've been a quarter final or a later match

[@peterwong133]

Fan clearly had an “off” day. Well he’s only human like all of us.

[@zzzthaoster]

It's ok Fan. We know it's not easy to always be at the top of your game. Besides, these younger players are getting better and better too.

[@davidliao6209]

Fan enjoyed himself too much watching pop show the night before and that could be the cause of his downfall? Never mind Xiaopang, plenty chance this year to prove you are still world No. 1.

[@yeshoulong2135]

新人能崭露头角，何尝不是一件好事！不然老将三十几岁还要再披战甲，泱泱乒乓大国难道等到青黄不接时再启用新人，老中青梯队合理使用，永远能立不败之地，世间万物亦然！

[@paulung1034]

What was going on with the scoreboard on game 2. The point was given to the wrong player?

[@rongrongmiao3018]

Well FZD did go to the Taylor swift Singapore concert😂 maybe that got into him ❤😅

[@ignimosanti8321]

Парнишка в шикарной форме... Красавчик

Shidong is like throwing stones from backhand. Too fast and strong backhand game.

[@nguyenkhanhTung]

Fan could not take avanced of his backhand kills over Lin because Lin is very good at his backhands

[@philippelepage1609]

Fan had no coach and he is not a tactical player. May be he should have slowed down the pace, put more spin and less speed. Try something different

[@James-il5ny]

19:49 "Lion King losing to lion cub" lol

Did you catch what that's a reference to? Singapore is known as the Lion City, and FDZ has never lost a match in the Singapore Smash since its inauguration, hence the "Lion King"!

Very strange. Fzd didnt look bothered to play at all. No fight at all. Whats up with him?

[@samuelnicholson7905]

He's being ruined by injuries he's had two recently. I worry it might now kill off his career and he will never reach the heights he could of

[@TTDPocketRocket]

@@samuelnicholson7905 do we know if he is injured currently or is he just being wary not to get injured again?

[@gthabut]

He is very far from his best level. Looks fat and slow compared to a few years ago. Not even bothered to loose. What’s wrong with him?

[@zzzthaoster]

Fan is not at his best. He's also a bit slow, not making many shots either. It's tought to always be at the top of your game in every tournament. He's just human.

[@TTDPocketRocket]

@@gthabut fat? His leg are tree trunks. Just a couple of weeks, he was on fire for china in the world team champs and didn't lose a single match. Not the same player here, could be an injury, who knows.

[@deepbhadja5730]

Can't even display the score properly now eh?

[@imagesound4481]

Looks like Shidong has hit the weight room.

[@peterwong133]

Fraser Riley co commentator, shehzad Haque, please be quiet during play. You can do all your statistics in beyond points. Let us enjoy the match and not hear you having private conversations with Fraser. It’s so darn irritating. It’s obvious that Shehzad has no interest in this sport and thus no knowledge of the sport and thus incapable of providing adequate commentary. WTT if you are reading thus, get rid of him.

[@TheBoss-ro3iu]

Lin will NOT win if he made it to the finals.

[@elisanabria2068]

Hand the title to WCQ already. We all knew Ma wasn't going to win it after Fan was knocked out, with Ma's rubbish backhand.

[@leahliu7139]

Only Lin Shidong, Wang Chuqin, and Liang Jingkun is left for Chinese men’s.

[@werner_m]

Lin Fan 7:2 in the second game, but 2:7 is shown! Do you not use a system, where the inputs of the umpire are shown on the screen? This mistake is not the first one in Singapour.

[@ur4927]

This is probably where the winner of the tournament is determined

[@DSKHo1968]

If he can keep it up. FZD was far from his best!

[@kwfc1944]

Linshidong is the next fanzhendong. But the game looks fake. Fan didn't try his best.

[@jz-nx7nr]

holy shit what an upset!!

[@juliuspeters1]

It would be ridiculous if LSD doesn't get included in team event at Olympics. I understand there is no way they would exclude MaLong, but they could easily sacrifice LGY

[@shikhararora5199]

Ma long on his current performance is definitely not playing in Olympics. Wang Chuqin is currently the best player, he will be probably play in olympics and maybe Fan zhendong

[@cgonzalezcon]

His loss to Franziska was the final nail@@shikhararora5199

[@juliuspeters1]

@@shikhararora5199 I was talking about the team event, not singles. When it comes to MaLong, the decision will clearly be made not only based on his performance. As long as he has no injury, he will 100% be a part of the team, no matter how he performs in the remaining events. So there are 4 spots remaining. FZD and WCQ are out of question. That leaves us with LJK, LGY and LSD - 3 people for 2 remaining spots on the team. I personally would eliminate LGY.

[@Independent_Man3]

Lin Shidong's serves are slightly illegal. The rule says that "the service shall start with the ball resting freely on the open palm of the server's stationary free hand." The rule was made to prevent players from adding extra spin on the ball before the ball is hit. But Lin Shidong closes his fingers around the ball JUST BEFORE launching it in the air. Now this might just be a bad habit. I don't think he is actually adding extra spin on the ball.
