WTTC: Kenta Matsudaira-Ma Lin

[@LutherBlissett94]

What an epic match! Two exceptional players at their prime! Watched this many times, it never gets old.

[@randomboi151]

I just watched this right now Holy moly is Kenta fun to watch the way he blocked and outplayed Ma Lin was so good

[@francoisdecharette9844]

I don't know much about when Ma Lin's prime was but I think he was far away from his prime in 2009. Playing like this near the end of his career just goes to show how great he was.

[@LutherBlissett94]

@@francoisdecharette9844 He was olympic champion in singles in 2008, runner-up singles world champion 2007, runner-up doubles world champion in 2011

[@Iriscience]

Best match of all time. Kenta's unique style came so close to defeating the allmighty ma lin.

[@josephgarrett3075]

It was indeed a good match, but nowhere near best of all time. It wasn't even the best match in this tournament! (e.g Ma Lin vs. Wang Liqin semi)

[@borisgraell]

[@josephgarrett3075]

@@borisgraell YESS!!! I've seen that match many times!

[@agz4370]

lol no....kenta sucks ma lin is the only player he has chance with because of his retarded style....

[@masoudj1185]

I love Kenta's unconventional backhand blocks. With his wrist twist he paralyses the opponent. Absolutly amazing technique.

[@Introverder]

What a match!

[@XtremeTableTennis]

That's the best match with Ma Lin i've ever seen!!!

[@jaydavidson4592]

7:53 best point. I can't believe how good this match was

[@rimondschein9075]

Amazing

[@zottffss]

Kenta totally earned Ma Lin’s respect after this.

[@alicanyucebyk797]

and it's not an easy thing for sure.

[@АндрейВласенко-и4н]

That's why Ma didn't shout and celebrate after the last point and calmly goes to shake hand with judge and opponent .

[@BaSO4-007]

Fantastic backhand rally by matsudaira!

[@winglow7615]

Kenta was the best Japanese player to watch. He was so totally committed and fearless.

[@Musettelover]

Hands down of the best matches I've ever watched, and I've watched em' all!!!!

[@XtremeTableTennis]

One of the best matches of MA LIN!!!

[@sebastiangonzalezbustament536]

Increíble. Es que no se puede describir el inmenso talento de los dos. La verdad uno de los mejores juegos. Si no es que el mejor que el visto en mi vida. Realmente sorprendente

[@88천지인]

kenta's backhand skill is unbelievable.

[@PICAICHI1120]

会場で目の前で見ていた。 だけど見る度に泣いてしまう…

[@xingnanzav]

2009 was a turning point for Ma Lin. ITTF banned speed glue, which great affected penhold players.

[@bebzon8941]

+Nan Xing maybe you're right, but good players such as ma or wang hao remained on top. for example in 2011 and 2013 wttc wang hao beat ma long in semi (then lost to jike). i think the more important was when they introduced plastic ball. game is faster and there is less rotation which was always one of the biggest advantage of penholder style

[@WorthlessGeek]

6 years later and the penhold style is still thankfully holding on with players like Felix Lebrun, Dang Qiu. Maybe we will see more in the future, but it seems like though more traditional penholding has died out, the rpb style pioneered by Wang Hao seems to be very adaptable to the fast paced drive and counterloop game we see now

[@esfuerzateysevaliente624]

Ma lin era un jugador imparable

[@SunLISunTube]

Such a beautiful rally between them are hardly with current matches . So they are lacking thrills. Ma Lin is a hell of player because of his forehand always from any difficult angles and backhand corners of the table. On the other hand Kenta Matsudaira skills are exceptional one of a kind and so superb. Their standard and class of playing is very high .

[@ВячеславУ-у4м]

[@ankushbarua4327]

I also play tt and that backhandwrist twist it comes to me naturally , Later on when i saw kenta's play style i was shocked . Sone techniques your coach traches you and sone comes from withinthe body. Although I am not trained but I learnt playing TT against syrong opponents watching them playing against them. TT became my fav sport. I combined Kenta and joo se hyukstyke a bit and try to play m 😅. Thank you legends , I have learnt a lot watching and playing . Wish I would have had a coach inmy young age but TT was not that famous during my childhood in India nor we had that miney to get trained. But nevertheless it's never too late. That's to my college and corporate life I came acroos TT and fukly enjoy playing it.

1000th guy to like this :-) ...... u r an artist Kenta !!!!

Kenta has ultra instinct... malin disguised so much of his shot and he still guess the right direction and reacted in time

[@서편우물]

Kenta!! Great!!

[@frankwang4014]

in the point starting from 4.15, Matsudaira's shot bounces off the net (4.22) and Ma Lin cheers thinking that he has won the point. but the ball seems to have still landed on the table???

[@StefWillemse]

yeah lol i saw that too

[@StefWillemse]

after watching it here the point was awarded to ma lin kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGawZGRjl7eHa6s I think the ball may have hit kenta's table side before spinning over the net

[@frankwang4014]

Thanks for the reply! I just watched the point again in the full match format. It seems that the ball did bounce on Matsuraira’s side before Ma Lin’s meaning the the point was correctly awarded!
