Ma Long Practice with Zhang Jike - WTTC Zagreb 2007

Please take a second and subscribe now! I have tons more footage and will be posting it.
Ma Long, practicing with Zhang Jike during his first participation in a Singles World Championship. - 2007 in Zagreb. In the previous year, at 17, he was part of the World Champion Chinese Team, but this was his first try at the a title he would wind up winning three times on his way to being considered the Greatest Of All Time. In this tournament, he lost to Joo Se Hyuk (KOR) in the round of 16, but in the following three Singles WTTCs (2009, 2011,2013), he went to the semifinals, and finally, in 2015, 2017 and 2019 he reigned supreme.
The footage contains a few grainy slow motion parts - the technology for HQ digital video was just in its early stages of development at the time.

Surprisingly high quality for a 2007 video. Do you also have the Zhang Jike POV?

The American TT scene have often hired the best, who turn up with Hollywood-quality equipment and film, and have occasionally done so since the 1980s. As people here acknowledge, it blows other old or new video production out of the water.
Don’t expect it to become the norm soon…..too expensive for most of the world!
Anyway, thanks to Diego TT for posting this.
