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]

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

[@rimondschein9075]

Amazing

[@masoudj1185]

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

[@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)

kenta's backhand skill is unbelievable.

[@user-pb8vo7vz4e]

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!!!!

[@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

この頃の松平健太はすごかった… 今も強いけど

[@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 .

[@user-vl8dx3jz3z]

Check out Franzeska vs Xu Xin

[@Royalchess1]

VICIOUS non-stop play from both...WOW!

[@MrChaiwenjie]

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

Kenta matsudaira u became my favourite after zhang jike......

[@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.

Best game ive seen

[@oppapingpong]

Ma Lin played smarter, he played short and fast using his right spin to get points and often succeeded. Kenta played very well, but there was only one winner, Ma Lin...truly amazing, he only used one side of his bet but can play very well

[@Yupyupdup]

Dope Match

松平健太的问题已经被新三剑客暴露无疑：他的手感一流，甚至可以说不逊于许昕，但是他的攻击力很弱。而乒乓球现在的发展方向是越来越暴力。健太对马琳刚好是风格上克制，他几乎不退台，手感柔软防御力很强，而马琳最弱的就是连续攻击的力量和稳定性，前三板没优势马琳就不好打了。然后健太的反手是欧洲暴力流，比马琳强。马琳最怕左撇子或者反手好的选手，因为他需要全台正手对抗，年龄大了来不及跑。
