Xu Xin vs Lin Shidong (group B) - Chinese Trial 2021

[@liamcannon9617]

Being a top chinese player is hard , theres maybe 50 players that can beat you if you aren't playing at 95% ability.

[@pingsunday]

Yes. Since there are a lot of good and young players in China.

[@jameszheng7699]

Very true, ridiculously hard

[@Nam13_13]

sad to see xu xin losing :(

[@heyheythecat]

Video quality looked like from the 80s, but I still very appreciate it!

[@jochenbuthe75]

Maybe there is too much compression on that video material. Coach ERT. It seems, the quality posted by "247 tabletennis" is really better. Maybe you can use that?

[@AncientWisdom222]

Lin was lightening fast in this game . See some of his service returns , would dent anyone's confidence. Xu appeared to have slowed down considerably.

[@junolam]

it is epic for this young guy! well played near shot flips

[@TheKarstrasse]

Lin's actions are more like Zhang Jike, no? Very firm on ground with short jabs

[@pingsunday]

Yes. He is called as the little fan Zhendong

[@rolandosalvioli8888]

All chinese players are like robot. Always the same. No fantasy no touch only Power and trained like beast.

[@nhantdo5016]

Nowaday, all kinds of sport are like that. Golf, tennis etc. They are robot, aren't they

[@jamaldeenvoice]

I am not happy Xu xin ain't doing well...and I think that new racket setup is a problem

[@magnushammersmith121]

Why are audio and video heavily desynchronised? Was the original footage initially like this?

[@richigarciacastro]

Who will play men's singles in the Olympics?

[@Caleb-ee2nt]

Will the player with best results participate in Tokyo games?

[@JimAssalone]

Yes, the best but also most consistent at high level. Xu Xin will most likely make it because of overall record and being an excellent left handed doubles player for men doubles and mixed doubles. He is just about unbeatable against defensive players also so he fills a lot of rolls.

[@jameszheng7699]

Not really. It's said that the best players if the tournament will qualify for the single games of next world championship, Top 16 will qualify for China Super league of TT, Top 5 together with the best results of junior players will qualify wtt China tournaments

[@Caleb-ee2nt]

Finally, a talent from Hainan! :)

[@Philoreason]

Aren't LSD serves illegal? The toss are obviously sideway...

[@glennlubomirskynovitch3254]

Is XX injured in the one leg? He's wearing a rubber ring in his knee.

[@plusmanikantanr]

@1:37 you can see XuXin's RPB doing good things for him ... but by @1:42 XuXin tries to cover his Backhand corner instead of relying on his RPB more ... so he struggles and initiates FH-loop ... and gets out of position ( he is dependent on Turn-around FH on his backhand corner ) ... wastes a good rally .... and dumps the ball in the net ....

[@eduardolima3480]

Xu Xin fez um jogo apático sem energia, não quero com isso tirar o mérito do Lin, mas com certeza nunca vi o Xu Xin jogar tão mal.

[@maitreyupa9119]

Thé changé is here.

[@uchihadayne6506]

Xu xin is really not playing well these days. I have to imagine he’ll retire soon

[@lastmission7599]

Lin Shidong is 16 years old,right?

[@pingsunday]

Yes

[@luannascimento9452]

The next Fan Zhendong? Make your name!

[@lionsin6156]

So xu xin is out??not able to go olympic

[@thomasleifseth5201]

Lin Shidong is NOT better player compared to Xu-Xin! If they played 10 matches i bet xu xin wins 8 of them at least. Lin has nothing to loose, he knows xu xin is better so he played without fear, xu xin had to defend his place so is far Worse for him to loose this. Lin was expected to loose. Once a while this happends when the better player just loose😀

[@injuredtabletennisplayer1474]

If I remember he’s battling a shoulder injury ...

[@MWXL]

Cool

[@TuanNguyen-xm5cs]

xu xin has real problems

[@JimAssalone]

Not really. He just changed his blade and 3 out of 5 is much easier to pull off upset then 4 out of 7. Remember, all the top guys have losses due to amount of sets played.

[@TuanNguyen-xm5cs]

@@JimAssalone i mean like he is start to be weaker than he used to be when he plays again aggresive powerful style like lin shidong ' s style

[@n111nader222]

Shidong free good

[@PQV-8898]

XX always favours his forehand by standing to extreme right. Opens entire table to opponents going down the line. Terrible.

[@plusmanikantanr]

Finally all Chinese-Penhold players are now knocked out. Soon only Shakehand will be dominant in the International Top10 Players list.

[@myungkim861]

@Spicy Nyampire yeah its definitely a loss for the sport... but this guy sayin it like its a good thing

[@plusmanikantanr]

>Myung Kim >4 hours ago > @Spicy Nyampire yeah its definitely a loss for the sport... but this guy >sayin it like its a good thing @@myungkim861 You don't even know me and you are commenting. Losing variety in any sport is never a good thing for the sport. We need coaches who are deadly serious about training Top10 WorldClass Penhold players and defense players and all sorts of techniques. Sadly many coaches dont care except to recommend shakehand and some rubber+blade and ride on their players victories.

[@tobacco118]

XX losing isn't about penhold vs handshake, any Chinese could lose in national games, it's very competitive and they know each other quite well.

[@tobacco118]

@Spicy Nyampire You ain't very bright. There're very few PH players, maybe 2. Unless it's 50-50, it doesn't tell anything. And if you truly know the game, top Chinese players frequently lose in Chinese national games.

[@tobacco118]

@Spicy Nyampire The topic is XX losing in this competition, not PH vs HS since LGL's time, you're shifting the goalpost quite a bit. And if you're truly Chinese, you would've known top Chinese often lose in internal competition, regardless PH or HS. It doesn't say much. PH on the decline due to ITTF rule is a different topic altogether.
