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.

[@virtuososiu]

Great match, great footage. Thank you.

[@rcbooster1]

Very good from Ovtcharov!

[@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

[@boodyeldawy304]

Great match

[@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.

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

[@leijovines7010]

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

[@jtymysun]

Unbelievable game!

[@chocolategummmybear]

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

[@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

[@fredsonribeiro13]

Joga muito!!!

[@IfBeSaram]

왜 그는 영상의 백핸드 스트로크를 잃어버린것인가

[@KYchiu402]

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

[@roydondsa]

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

[@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.

[@chensir3]

crazy play ovtcharov

[@maddawg4598]

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