Xu Xin vs Liang Jingkun | 2020 Marvellous 12

[@daniel-oc6pp]

Just incredible. Liang is definitely showing more Fan Zhendong style qualities against Xu Xin, with his slight chubbiness and his ability to turn Xu Xin's spin into raw speed. I really hope Xu Xin goes on to win the Marvellous 12. He really deserves a shot at the Olympics Singles.

[@calvinlks]

daniel yes, I would love to see Xu Xin play men’s singles in the coming Olympics for China ;)

[@superpacmaniac]

Liang's backhand to the right corner is simply rocket! Epic battle.

[@stephencheng4700]

extremely close match. what a exciting show they've put on. not gonna lie, i didnt think LJK would give XX this much of a hard time!

[@TheVampB]

LJK has been somewhat of a nemesis for Xu Xin since last year. He beat him in the last Marvellous 12, and also in one of the Open tournaments.

[@awfan1642]

@ Well, if he chocked, he didn't deserve the win.

[@bennypan2007]

All CNT players know XX's style very well. That's why many of them can beat XX even though they could lose to foreigners.

[@JayB-lz6yd]

@@TheVampB since longer than that. Xu said in 2014/15 i can't remember, that LJK was his worst opponent in the CNT. strong server, fast actions off the bounce with unpredictable angles. Xu is really uncomfy with him. he prefers players with a well defined game plan. at least if he can read it. which is not really the cas with LJK. since many years.

[@madhavved2875]

@@JayB-lz6yd agree. Someone like Lin gaouan can be easily beat off with proper form

Thank you XX for putting all in despite injuries. And I always love your games as they are intense, artistic and entertaining.

[@bahaasalman6425]

Liang jingkun's mentality has been improved .. impressively !!

[@canicetang8837]

This is the reason why the Marvellous 12 is the best tournament in Table Tennis. You have so many young stars that can push the top 4 to the brink. Excellent match!

Wow, great game, the challenger came so close beating the champion Xu Xin. In the end it was his nerves which kept Xu Xin the match. Thank you guys for the excitement, and thank you ttLondon2012 for the upload !!

[@artaz899]

Xu Xin working hard for the win and absolutely deserves it in the end. Impressive play from Liang and very close game . Liang isn't the most gifted player in China but builds a solid image I want more pressure and intimidation from him over his opponents with offensive play after 2 years he can lay low and play smart . Let the beast rage man!

[@mahyarV13]

Both played very well and breath taking!Bravo.

[@rileywoo]

What a spectacular match. So many crazy points and so intense. Seeing the length of the video made me know it was going to be crazy. 8:21 14:02 16:09

We can almost find the point of 2020 here :)

[@kamalphukan15]

What a way to start the new year......The match had everything.....Xu Xin’s serve was brutally punished....But at the end his experience of clutch moments came to his aid.....

[@parthdsoni]

What a fantastic match.. nail biting.. both played so well.. the player in black t-shirt was pushing ball so hard.. never seen those kind of shots before..

[@alexcho5276]

15:42 Chen Qi best hype man ever

[@ojuice2746]

A comment worth liking 😂😂💀

[@thowell3129]

One more point! One more f***ing point!

[@TheVampB]

Agreed. Having him as coach must be a lot of fun. He is such a bro.

[@iliaminkin5605]

Also seems like working with Chen Qi helped Xu Xin a lot.

[@spicychicken1609]

Chen Qi is nicknamed 'God of Killing' (殺神) in China for his strong forehand killshots and bad temper

[@shenqiangshou]

Wow, LJK played the match of his life. There were a few of XX's serves he just dismissed out right, I've never seen that done before. Great mental toughness by XX, but some weakness showing as well, since he favours his backhand side so much. ML did the same, but he is older now and not as agile, and is struggling when opponents punish his open forehand side. Xuperman is not slow yet, but it's a dangerous slippery slope.

[@ところ-w9d]

許昕をあれだけノータッチで抜ける梁靖崑のバックドライブえぐい それにしても許昕のフルセットになった時の勝率は異常だと思う

[@dillanlau6470]

xu xin's backhand is like my dad: there one day and then suddenly gone the next day

[@ojuice2746]

His fh however like my mum always there

[@TheVampB]

I think his backhand is "too much brushing not enough hitting" maybe. It's pretty good when attacking but not good enough or backhand rally.

[@MrPoorplay]

@@TheVampB Are you still referring to your dad?

[@financialliberty2381]

Liang's long pushing is outstanding.

[@casiocfx]

True. The long push directly into the body of Xu Xin close to the table is suprising and clever, forcing Xu Xin to make a fault or a passive shot.

[@ngong11]

In one recent final match (i dont remember), after losing first game, Fan Zhendong used this tactic in the remaining games (long push and wait for Xu Xin error) and won the champion :D

[@celsolima8045]

Jogo sensacional, até o último instante não dá pra saber quem seria o vencedor. Venceu o melhor!

[@saintapeex5715]

16:10 Xu Xin is crazy

[@あたおか太郎-u2y]

saint ApeeX Why he can do this play in the nervous scene like this?

[@steve1964]

this guy in black shirt - woah! amazing! plays close to table, quick reaction, awesome backhand where he's able to turn over his wrist so quickly for winner

[@macdevignmac1726]

Apparently Liang studied recent Harimoto's match with XX a lot and learn that blocking is a effective way to counter XX's attack and create opportunity for attack. His "borrow the spin" block cause XX who usually away from table to return a high trajectory return.

[@wonghow]

Is the other way around, Jingkun beaten XuXin before the recent Grand Finals XuXin and Harimoto 4-3 win. Probably Harimoto study Jingkun and decide to counter attack instead of blocking.

[@wonghow]

the last receive by Xu Xin is brilliant !

[@hemendrasinghrao8555]

Amazing fantabulous breathtaking match ..... Well played ...this is something called 100% efforts

[@wennikuang9615]

Really like to see a crazy match like this, those are new generation of Chinese team, became better and better, someday replace the topplayers, respect.

[@tonyping2262]

Liang Jinkun is definitely showing more Fan Zhendong qualities by the use of his power and the speed of his backhand counters👍👍

[@shanelawson5072]

Liang JK, Harimoto & FZD are the 3 in particular who are using the crosscourt backhand block/drive wide to XX's forehand with great success❗

[@donvan1467]

amazing xu xin, it seems he is at different level.

[@yamchabrotherofdora5171]

That's the HEART OF A WORLD CHAMP💪💪💪

[@JakeTheSlinger]

I am new to Table Tennis so bare with me but it seems they are 1. hiding the ball during serves (with head, body or both) 2. throw the ball at the bat during serves (towards themselves) 3. there seems to also be some cupping of the ball during serves how lax are the services rules? It seems kinda vague.

[@shenzhenpingpong]

What a match! Liang Jingkun was on fire at the start. His backhand receive was for winners and his block is even crisper than Harimoto's! How did he lose this match? Paradoxically, he froze a bit at the end when Xu Xin looped from far away and Liang blocked out. And Xu Xin is just ice cool at the end. He has escaped defeat by the smallest margins time and time again.

[@hungpunwilsonwu7001]

A marvellous match! !

[@spaceinvader384]

LJK has improved so much. How did his coach do it? See now the CNT has mastered both deadly FH and BH counters' smash/block, it's definitely another level up above other nations. Exciting and brutal fight between these two. No wonder they say competing inside China is much harder than outside.

[@globetrotter8556]

Technically they are more or less the same but psychologically XX has an edge as he showed no emotion when losing a point while LJK showed frustration or anxiety when losing a point. Based on this I sort of knew before it’s over that somehow XX world eventually win the match while I was rooting for LJK to win as the underdog.
