Fan's power, angle and placement technique has improved to a new height, a level above everyone else. XX was able to do power push with his BH to create surprises against Jang and Zhou in the previous games. But Fan's shot is just so powerful and fast in rhythm that XX has little time to recover. Great performance from both sides.
There were so many ppl saying XX will win.. Even I am a big fan. But fan is a monster.. They should give credits to Fan.. He almost won it 4-0..what an amazing level of play from him
medulla oblongata Idk why anyone would say XX would win considering the last few times they went head to head.XX is my favorite player and not even I would say he could beat FZD even with this improved and impressive RPB. I’m not sure anyone can beat FZD right now considering his speed,power and great form.ML doesn’t seem to be in top form rn so I doubt even he could beat FZD.
Xu xin had so much chances to win more sets or even the match but fan plays like a real no. 1. So many impressive shots. The sad thing is that these two are so far away from the european players. But its a pleasure to watch this.
Fuck european players. If they are sick of losing, they they should quit table tennis or study their mistakes and learn from them. How come european players are too weak in terms of power and technique even using fast and spinny equipment like tenergy and carbon blades??
@@eijimuroya8402 They are the elite out of 1.4 billion people. You can't imagine how hard they have been trained. Also, China tt system works so well for their players. By the way, Chinese equipment are not worse than European. I mean just like Chinese national football team, they have nice equipment but it's hard for them to win a game.
Xu Xin is one of my favorite players, but Fan Zhendong is taking this sport to a level that was previously thought not humanly possible. Such incredible reflexes and shot execution.
Reporter : so it's been a while since you two met in the finals, what is your mindset going into the game? XX: well, I've been working on my rpb and I'm seeing some good results, let's see what happens Reporter: and Fan, you? Fan : Im'ma whip it
@@zerotalent191 Yes, but during china open, fzd wasnt at his best. Now FZD has proven to be No 1 in the world especially in the past few months. Only an inform but non-injured Ma Long can win FZD now.
Fan Zhendong is peerless. Xu Xin served very well short to Fan's forehand. Xu Xin used his RPB loop well. Xu Xin drop shot was good. Xu Xin even got some forehand loops in. But Fan Zhendong still had him locked down. Nobody can't beat Fan at the moment.
I want to personally hold the hands of the cameraman and thank him... for coming up with this camera angle. There is some hope. All is not lost ITTF. All is not lost.
@Andy Chen FZD will be there since he's the beast now. And I assume China will bring ML due to his experience and possibility to become the double grandslam winner. I'd love to see XX there though. PS: I was talking about the singles, for the team my guess is ML, FZD and XX. LGY and LJK are big chokers outside China and have no good amount of great results so far. But things might change.
The problem Xu Xin has when he faces opponents like Ma Long or FZD is his short game. For a penholder, it's simply not good enough. Fan got about a hundred 5th ball attacks. And since he can't banana as well as FZD...well there's not much he can do other than the forehand-forehand rallies.
I think no penholder in the history of TT was or will be as good as Xu Xin. Xu is the fastest, smartest, and trickiest to play of them all. True, Ma Lin has great forehand and Wang Hao has great RPB. But regarding the caliber of Ma Long and Wang Hao, the fact that Xu Xin is able to compete in par with them is just a wow. hats off to Xu Xin and I will always be his fan.
Yes, wang hao during his prime could easily beat ma long who was only like in his early twenties. we cant really compare players from two different generations
@4:00 Both exhibit unimaginable, incredible, supreme top skills. Just watch the ball control and how it's played, regardless who the winner is. Adorable respect for both players.
I’d love to see Xu Ruifeng pairing with Fan ZD one day. Considering Ruifeng unorthodox strokes, it would be intriguing to see how well Fan ZD can adapt to the game.
It me or this game was played on Fan's zone? I mean... Xu Xin didnt play with his agressive forehand and fast legs. Its like Fan Zhendong studied him very well and not let him play his style.
Yeah I felt like he wasn't confident the two games he had match point. Not sure if it had to do with using the new Stiga Dynasty instead of his previous blade?
Another universe here!! XX is simply out of reach for every EU.. and even not Chinese player, and he's always been somehow a gauge for Chinese National Team.. if you can overcome him, you've chance to be REALLY big. FZD here shown once again his strength... and today with such an impressive ease and self-confidence that one must just say... he's really the no.1 !!
ITTF，suggest ur WD MD XD can add to Round 32，ur WS MS can add to Round 64 it will let more people attend to dwarf，so quick eliminate will reduce player enthusiasm
La grande taille et le bras de Xu Xin sont un problème.il ne peut pas placer son top spin qui est devenu trop lent face à Zendong . L'élève à dépassé le maître....
It almost seems like the CNT told Xu xin to lose on purpose to FZD. Xu xin played sluggish and hesitant, he can at way better than what I saw in this video
Probably because the pressure wasn’t that high in this game. If you look at FZD in the 2017 wttc final, you can see that he psychs himself up at important moments.
In this game, xx lost reverse counter bh at first n second set and bh flick. No option for xx. But you know Fan is monster has have many option weapon in intens game like this final
FZD is super fast. As a result, lesser long rallies. To a point where sometimes his games are getting boring. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a fan of FZD. But due to his current explosive-type strategy, I’m becoming less of a fan. Xu Xin definitely played great TT
I think big ball is probably not good to European players but let the level of every player closer, so just looks like it's good to European player😂Because European players are also change their styles to be faster and faster. And the new ball is probably only good to Japanese young players.....
@@nw4101 agree. 38mms needs intellect and skill to read and manage spin and tactics but now, whoever can smash hardest and scamper after the ball wins. In the past, even if you smash a spinning ball, it would surely fly out of the table.

It's painful to see XX played so poorly in this uninspiring match. On the hand, even if XX played really well, FZD isn't easy to beat. Also, it doesn't look like FZD went all out.
Enjoy the Highlights :)

9:46 Xu Xin's the real winner
Not so many people can do that
Fan Zhendong might have won the TTgame but Xu Xin won in manliness
Damn that bulge though
Xu Xin is one of my favorite players, but Fan Zhendong is taking this sport to a level that was previously thought not humanly possible. Such incredible reflexes and shot execution.
Xu xin isn't that far off. You'd expect him to get smashed but his backhand has improved so much. If only he were still young enough to cloud walk :')

@@ananthahegde8476 thanks
There were an unbelievable number of nets in this game
I think the only person who can potentially beat FZD now is non-injured 2015, 2017 ML.
Ma Long beat Fan Zhendong 4-1 in China Open 2018
@@zerotalent191 Yes, but during china open, fzd wasnt at his best. Now FZD has proven to be No 1 in the world especially in the past few months. Only an inform but non-injured Ma Long can win FZD now.
Even if ma wasn't injured it would take alot for him to beat this Fan!
Omg... Ma long 2015 would easily beat FZD. The dragon is the GOAT
And 2016 ML who wins Rio Olympic gold medal
How is it possible that the official channel of ittf doesn't upload the content in 60hz!!!!???? I mean come on!!!
the amount of spin and speed in FZD’s forehand is insane lately

I love koki niwa
delicious match to watch. thanks for highlights
What a close 4-1 match. XX had many game points!
You know, even though Xu Xin lost and he is beyond his prime he still is a pleasure to watch and always gives a good show
Fan Zedong really has the chance and potential, I believe, to one day rival the legacy of even Ma Long. So young and so talented
Chretien li ML’s my favourite player but FZD will be better than him
ML being injured is XX's only chance to go to the next olympics.

Wow! huge respect to Xu Xin. He didn't lose confidence even when he lost three sets in a row. Played like a winner till the end of the game!

3:48 xu xin forever
Koki Niwa style 😂😂
The ball just outlined the net!! Impressive!
Fan Zhendong killed it!
Glad to see FZD become more consistent in all the shots he take

there is no matter Xu Xin lost the game. in table tennis Xu Xin will always stay as the greatest player in the world

Both are excellent players. Top notches of today ping pong world. Ma long is also good too.
Fan is the best player in the world. His level is much higher than any players.
Love this match!!
Wish I was as good at anything as Fan is at tt
Молодцы ребятки.
Hello ITTF, can we have a 38mm category for players to choose?
FZD is next generation of tt
First question comes to my mind is FZD human?
Ma Lin is back as coach for penhold grip which XX will get benefit before Olympic game. XX definitely will step up against The champions.
If upload at 60 fps it's will very well :)
so many crazy rally...i like this a lot...
9:45 How did you do thatttt!!!???
Super play fan
FZD is so fast and energetic that he didn't let Xu xin once to move or to get in shot hitting position
Haven't watched but know this is a prestine matchup
XX is not the old XX, after he was injured :/
I am a Xu Xin fan for life but this other guy is from another planet
La grande taille et le bras de Xu Xin sont un problème.il ne peut pas placer son top spin qui est devenu trop lent face à Zendong . L'élève à dépassé le maître....
je like car tu es le seul francais dans les commentaires
Xu struggled with BH. FZD continues to win because he is just so consistent and powerful both FH and BH.
3:45 koki niwa style！
It almost seems like the CNT told Xu xin to lose on purpose to FZD. Xu xin played sluggish and hesitant, he can at way better than what I saw in this video
XX was slightly unlucky but didn't seem to make much unnecessary mistakes. I'd take this as a proof that shakehand is generally stronger then penhold.
why no “cho lee ho”?
is it respect since china vs china?
It's unnecessary to scream unless they're playing against Harimoto boi haha
XX never does cho if opponent doesn't. FZD always pays respect to the elder.
Probably because the pressure wasn’t that high in this game. If you look at FZD in the 2017 wttc final, you can see that he psychs himself up at important moments.
In this game, xx lost reverse counter bh at first n second set and bh flick. No option for xx. But you know Fan is monster has have many option weapon in intens game like this final
I really like Fhang zhengdong reverse pendulum serve
Bast 1038 you really like butchering names too
why they are so silent on every point？？
Because they are teammates and not playing against foreigners
小胖居然能在不到一年的时间内，改进正手，提速，增加套路，把自己的球变细腻，也许这就是天才吧……

by looking how he played his body was in there but his mind was out there
真是难为徐昕了，只能打对方的正手。策略虽然对，但太难打了。小胖两面攻得分，徐昕只有正手有得分机会。

how stronger lose....?
Ma Long can crush both of them . Just saying :)
That's just so overexaggerated. Crushing is something like 4 - 0 and every set like 11:5
