WTTTC: Dimitrij Ovtcharov-Zhang Jike

[@13Drew88]

best performance ever so far by Dima definitely!

[@13Drew88]

I wish I would have been in Dima's shoes to feel that state of agonistic trance when you play amazingly, totally focused into the match so you can't feel fatigue and put on the best of you.

[@rcbooster1]

Very good from Ovtcharov! You know that you are the best when you 3-0 ZJK

[@rajagopalkv8592]

And get defeated by ml 3-0

[@yeagerist977]

ZJK is a pussy

[@virtuososiu]

Great match, great footage. Thank you.

[@PingGSY]

The fact of the matter is, Yes Zhang Jike didn't look to be playing his best, however Dimitrij played out of his skin to beat Zhang. Zhang Jike has been out of form since winning his Grand Slam, which is understandable. If you set a childhood dream and then accomplished it, you are bound to feel "lost" afterwards. Recently, Lui Guliang has set Zhang Jike the goal of two grand slams. This is difficult and will require Zhang Jike, the Tibetan Masterchief, to up his game. I believe he can do it. He is the highest achieving Chinese player in the team, he has shown on two occasions that on his day he is the best player in the world.

[@Young3Buck]

tibetan mastiff, this isnt halo

[@PingGSY]

FUTURE 2070 Lol I knew it was something along those lines! I couldn't think of it off the top of my head

[@mindrover777]

"lost" are yu high chief.

[@g4mbl4er]

I know it would be close, cause they have both amazing backhand. But, 3-0 for dima? Out of the range, for fuck sake, good job dima Amazing match to watch!!

[@perniciousnc]

hopefully this is a wake up call for zjk. if this happens again. dunno if he can go to olympic 2016. very defensive and non aggressive, if you give a not fast return to dimitrij, u can feel that he will attack and u will be under pressure. while zjk here is just acting like a wall, and trying to be consistent or something great game by dima, very agressive when he has the chance. you thought he is unbeatable here, and then u saw ma long playing him, changing the rhythm and returns, ma long is the boss today

[@jouncsenxie8984]

If he does not go on 2016 ma long and xu xin would have to

[@roydondsa]

Backhand down the line ????? Is that possible ?

[@etran96]

Zjk didnt play that badly, just not his best. Ovtcharov was on fire. Hope this is a wake up call for zjk to perform in the next, crucial year. As a fan, I really hope he picks it up and gets back in top shape for the batch of big tournaments to come

[@XtremeTableTennis]

I wish that Ma Lin plays because he is my favorite player!!!! Penhold forever!!!!

[@breadwithgarlic]

Well that would be hard since he's retired.

[@leijovines7010]

it's not about winning, it's about doing your best.

[@maddawg4598]

Need to really praise ovtcharov, he played amazingly well, takes a lot to beat zhang jike 3-0

[@Sliceofpow]

Germany needs 3 Dimas to beat China at the next team event. His progress is astounding and his power on both wings is to be feared.

[@kaiantiago8892]

Zhang Jike is the best player today, but not ever you can do your best.

[@kaiantiago8892]

But I like Ma Long more

[@boodyeldawy304]

Great match thx tt countenance

[@LeDrummerDu88]

I love ZJK, but...... yep, he's clearly out of form in this tournament. I hope he'll be in shape for the WTTC 2015 in China to be World Champion for the third time in a row. It could have been better to see Fan Zhendong instead of ZJK here, i would have appreciated that.

[@IfBeSaram]

왜 그는 영상의 백핸드 스트로크를 잃어버린것인가

[@KYchiu402]

Zhang is not in good condition. Btw, backhand vs backhand is so intense.

[@jirawootvongpee4002]

Wow

[@TheXeeman]

4:37 "I AM AN AIRPLANE!!!"

[@コロコロ君-q7v]

おぉぉあぁぁ⤴︎⤴︎をあんま言わんオフチャロフ新鮮やな

[@jtymysun]

Unbelievable game!

[@chensir3]

crazy play ovtcharov

[@chocolategummmybear]

Love the way y pool u can hear ma long every time zhang wins a point

[@olaniyi570]

Ovcharov played better that's why he won. Not because Jike played poorly. Jike played 15% of his ability? Yeah right.

[@samuelCWM]

Marsipulamis it’s both

[@david0ade]

Why doesn't Zhang Jike yell when he won a point in this match? (Ok he did yell only one point but not every points like Ma Long or Xu Xin did) it just seems like he's not serious and knew he would lose, or he wanted to lose on purpose.

[@jouncsenxie8984]

He was feeling to play that day

[@greenLinkLP]

Maybe the Chinese want us to think that we have a chance so that we try even harder as a challenge.liu guoliang said that they could have lost there so maybe it is a strategies to push

[@mindrover777]

who are yu world chanmp

[@tabletennis-tv]

good !!!!!

[@lesliefrancs]

ZJK's left leg is injured? No way he uses backhand so much that he almost never steps around for the attack.

[@vasilyvasilievich3042]

Димон лучший!!!

[@nicolasbarajas]

3:51

[@doodlef]

Дима на пике формы, лучший в Европе и китайцам не сладко )

[@mr.bolaextra5193]

Go Ovtcharov!!

[@เฉินหลง-ฬ3ฆ]

Best player from germany

[@edvinmaster5154]

Here ju can see the difference between zhang jike and ma long, zjk lost 3-0 vs dimitrij ovtcharov but ma long won 3-0!

[@sk91hkwn]

One match big deal Zhang jike smashes wang hao ma long loses easily dosent mean anything

[@Smijti0815]

I'm getting sick reading the same shit over and over...if the Chinese lose, they were bad and if they win they were great. Come on, it's not like they're untouchable. ZJK was not that bad but Dima was the better player, simple and plain.

[@mohdban]

zjk was bad. He obviously is the superior player here.

[@17teacmrocks]

ur right. most ppl don't understand zjk is a speed-and-spin-type player. while he looks like he's ripping aggressively, most of the time it's mostly speed and spin, not power. they're weak vs power if the opp is sufficiently fast. that's why zjk always has trouble vs ma long as well. ovtcharov and ma long are very similar, the only difference is dima's bh is better, ma long's fh is better, different atk patterns, and ma long has better agility. otherwise, their shot output is on the same level.

[@Smijti0815]

Mohammed Banjari Yup, really obvious how superior he is. Did you watch a different game? You can't run over a superior player like that, even if he has a bad day. Trust me, i know.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

​@@17teacmrocks Ma Long is a speed player,he doesn't play with spin 'cause he doesn't the have physical power to combine speed with spin.Ovtcharov is physically much stronger(174cm vs 185cm) but he can't do much on his forehand because his grip and stance are ridiculously backhand biased.It takes incredible strength to hit forehands with that crooked technique.

[@최군자-u1j]

good game ~

[@arezmir639]

This isnt Zhang Jike..I mean look at the 1st set he even made a service error..clearly he's not in top form..

[@TableTennis-Man]

JZK dun even really care...he had already achieve the ultimate...

[@hunkeelin]

Dimi's bh is kinda zjk'z nemesis i guess. Dimi bh is stronger more powerful, while zjk bh is quick short and good at blocking. However, dimi's bh just can't be block that often lol.

[@fredsonribeiro13]

Joga muito!!!

[@devertz995]

Nice one Dima!! But i think ZJK wasn't in a good form.

[@jouncsenxie8984]

I agree

[@DCTwize]

Zhang Jike got too much pressure on him... He don't play a good match. Bad reserves, serves and backhand topspin. What's happened to ZJK?

[@LeDrummerDu88]

Ovtcharov played well... ignorant.

[@KO-yz7fz]

この試合あたりからzhkのチキータの弱点がバレてきたというか.... Zhkのチキータがフォアやバック強打で狙われるチャンスボールになってしまって、チキータ主流の時代を作ったはいいものの、そのメリットがやや薄まってきたところだったと思う。 今のチキータ(台上BD)とはスピードが違う。卓球の進化の速度が尋常ではない。

[@lulumink0]

Too much fines, Zhang can't unleash his power.

[@xingnanzav]

This is the 3rd time ZJK lost in the team final.

[@DoN253]

Wtf?? Its the first time.

[@xingnanzav]

including olympics and asian championships. Not sure about the last one.

[@igor0684]

в форме был или нет не это так важно как тот факт что Овчаров всегда против его играл хорошо и это не первая его победа над Zhang Jike

[@박재영-r8f]

아...장지커가 지다니ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[@toocool7350]

2014 , german really close to champion. Too bad malong still at the peak

[@aiueo1997]

水谷ってこのレベルの中国人選手になかなか勝てないけどオフチャロフには勝ってる回数多いのなぁ。 相性ってほんと大事やな

[@badcompany2984]

Jike is in so bad condition, he has so many problems with the service of Ovtcharov.

[@-danR]

3-0, c'mon. Don't make apologies for Z. Dima was the better player here.

[@kulza23]

Doy!

[@jouncsenxie8984]

This is shit... I demand zhang jike and the German guy have a rematch!

[@ulanyep2993]

Zhang Jike is about 15% of himself this match, extremely disorientated. Or bored.

[@jouncsenxie8984]

If he try's again he gonna win.

[@PingGSY]

Cedrik Thibert Did you really just say that? Of course he is "good". He is lacking motivation, which is a common thing to happen after a dream is accomplished. He will bounce back if he wants to.

[@PingGSY]

Cedrik Thibert If you had accomplished everything you wante to accomplish, you would be de-motivated too. 'Im sure he will pich himself up, he is a great player.

[@ulanyep2993]

My best bet is that next WTTC singles its still him or Ma Long. Question is wether his extraordinary technical repertoire will be enough to compensate ML's extreme power.

[@PingGSY]

Ma Long has yet to prove him self in the World Championships (singles). He had a great, almost un-stoppable performance this year in the team event. Lets see if he can do it in the individuals in China 2015...I hope Zhang Jike wins that 3rd title, which would mean he gets a replica of the trophy to keep!

[@acamar123]

i dont see a huge advantage in this game :3 score luck for dima :3

[@HebCastle]

Después Ma Long se lo bajo.

[@tj_1260]

Ouh

[@최군자-u1j]

지커도 이룰거 다이루고나니깐 설렁설렁 사나보네

[@watsonzou3059]

Zhang jike should not have any chance to join olympic team, Fan zhengdong is much better than Zhang.

[@jouncsenxie8984]

He is way too young ... He has barely any experience of going in a huge game...

[@watsonzou3059]

Ha....Fang's technique is not young at all...he will be the king of table tennis. forget the experience.

[@rohanpandya7364]

watson zou You cant forget about experience. experience is one of the largest factors in a match. a player who is more skilled may lose in a huge event to someone who is more experienced.

[@LeDrummerDu88]

Rohan Pandya Hehe so true ^^ ask Ma Long.

[@frankjohnrivera9165]

Hey how about in WTTC 2013 ZJK vs FZD he really made the boy cry!?;)
