Enjoy the match of two gods! 😨😨😨
Hi MLFM, I respect all your hard working and contribution for TT, but since you are the videos creator of the matches highlight for ITTF, I have some questions for you:
Did ITTF paid you to edit these highlights?
Why the videos created by you had lower quality than the videos created by ITTF itself?
Will we have at least 1080P/ 60FPS videos in the future?
@@CRiMSON_Longway Of course I have income from this job. To ensure the working speed, I only get 720 quality. 1080 60fps version will take quite a while for me to get it.
@@malongfanmadechannel Thanks for your reply, I understand it takes lots of time to transfer, edit, render 1080P 60fps videos. Its not your problem, ITTF should find some solutions to fix these issues.
Two big damn gods.
@@malongfanmadechannel it would be great to reupload these amazing games with 1080,just take your time and thank you for your editing 👍 .
16 min video for a 4-1 win explains the level of the game
I actually cried watching this match live. I have watched Ma Long's games for approximately about 10+@ years, and very often I have felt that this guy is just hungry for the win every single game, and that he just wants and tries to be the absolube best, the best in history maybe - the GOAT.
Well, at this point maybe it's kind of clear that Ma already is the greatest male table tennis player of all time,
but what made me cry is the dedication and passion I saw from him today. It really felt like Ma gave his life effort to win this game. Just look at his face and his eyes, I can feel his soul man.
I think the greatness this guy has shown, especially for the past 5+ years from 2015, is no less greater than any other superstars in other great sports, such as Ronaldo, Messi, Michael Jordan, Lebron, etc. His body language, his Cho! Ing, his arm motion, footwork during the matches, his free hand movements (the hand not holding the racket, his left hand) all of these aspects just seem kind of "different" from other's. I think other people who've frequently wacthed table tennis and Ma Long's games can easily distinguish his skills as being different with other's. They are so... how should i say it, "elegant?" It's kind of similar to what I've felt when I watched Waldner's games, and maybe even Michael Jordan's body movement in his basketball games because people who love and understand the sport, no even those who don't have much interest in table tennis or basketball can see that those moves are amazing, somewhat even "beautiful." I feel and see that "GOAT" aura in Ma. This is not the first time seeing it, but truly Ma just gave everything he had to win this match and it was touching.
Fan Zhendong played great, but Ma Long will be remembered by me as the first (and i think the last) player ever to bring me to tears watching a table tennis game :D... The feelings man! Gotta give praise to this man's fighting spirit and hard work he showed us for all these years. And It was an amazing performance today. Good game!
Lol i really feel like a Ma Long fanboy after writing this. Well certainly I am. :DD
The match final between ML & FZD in Chinese National Championships 2017 was actually more exhilarating than this one and especially in the 6th last game of the match when Ma Long was up 5-3 points, he was a lot more vocal and pumped up and even more so ever determined to win than in this match.
@@jochn919 Okay
Agree with u
@@LL-bk4id thanks
This match is on whole different level if we compare with other players on this tournament 😱
they are both on a higher level, but training together also contributes to the exciting points, that dynamic on the bh to bh points where they trade till someone decides to switch comes from knowing eachother so much
Coz two legends were playing. This is how Table Tennis should be played.
You're right, nobody same level gameplay from both,only ML vs FZD we can see the high level gameplay 🔥
How if ordinary people play against them? How many shoot exchange?
oh yes. A whole new level of 'yawn' factor. China vs China. Very exciting alright. If this continues this game is going to die around the world except in China.
Generations have come before, and will come after. But the duels between these two Gods will remain forever immortalized. Truly a privilege to experience.
did you forget Zhang Jike vs Ma Long?
@@Dr.Murat-Korbai Fan Zhendong vs Ma Long is simply more spectacular and intense
@@magisterialanubis06 Not really, Zhang Jike is the top 3 TT players of all time, Fan Zhendong right now cannot compare to Zhang Jike in terms of TT status.
@@peacefulmind1409 right now, yes... but he will surely overtake. Zhang Jike was only good at important tournaments. And Fan Zhendong already has more titles than Zhang Jike (overall). And in majors, he has one major less than Zhang (although he is yet to win wttc and olympics). And his non-major records are already way better than Zhang Jike at 23.
@henry t absolutely, agree with you 100 percent.
This is clearly show the difference between talent and experience, ma long changed his style against fan zhen dong very quickly, one game in world cup final is enough to learn from mistakes and win the game, ma long is very very smart player
Honestly I think in this moment in time they are pretty much equal in terms of technical ability, considering that ma long's physical side is weaker because of age and injuries. It's just that experience, tactics and mental strength puts him on an another level
The king isn't dead.
No he is not. I wish he could go on after the olympics. 32 years old and better to his 22 years self.
He never was dead just a matter of time to recover !
Ma's the Night King
The king of worms will be gone in a few years. The teenagers from the land of the rising sun and the Formosa will be stronger. Then it will get more interesting. Throw in that blonde kid from Sweden who beat Mattias Falck 4:0 earlier this year. Then it will get interesting. As for now...zzzzzz
@@paulbismuth10 Well, not better, don't exaggerate… But so far not much worse, that's for sure.
WOOOWWWW. A 16 minute video with the outcome of 4-1 outcome?! That goes to show you how intense every point of the match truly was. Both players gave it their all, and at the end of the day, Ma Long showed up and told everyone he was still in charge. I mean, is this man even 32?! The way he moved around, seamlessly transitioning from forehand to backhand, covering the wide forehand, and keeping the rallies unpredictable... There's so much going on. Fan played amazingly, but this one was Ma's for the taking, for a couple of reasons:
1. Forehand optimization: Ma Long attacked aggressively using his forehand, going 100% on every shot, despite missing a couple. This put tremendous pressure on Fan to block accurately while keeping the pressure on. He also forced fast rallies by serving long to Fan's backhand, forcing him to open up. This took away Fan's short game and unpredictable backhand opening. And as I've commented before, I thought that if Ma opened up forehand rallies more, he wouldn't necessarily be at a disadvantage. Take a look at the following points: 2:27 4:26 4:38 4:48 5:44 etc...
2. Placement: This time, Ma Long outplayed Fan on placement, particularly during the open topspin rallies. He played down the line more and prompted Fan to use more of his forehand and backhand in combination. He played backhand to backhand but played some shots to the middle, forcing Fan to shift his balance. He would also serve short to the forehand and open up with a big forehand. Furthermore, he actually played more down the line shots with his backhand this time. Also, his service and third ball attacks were really outstanding. 8:53 11:25 13:54 14:58 12:41 etc...
3. BACKHAND: Boy did I not expect this one. His backhand was very active and he didn't block as passively as he did in the past couple of encounters. He opened up with banana flicks, he kept the pace on during rallies, and he played both down the line and cross-court shots. In terms of backhand to backhand rallies, he wasn't losing the majority of them either. I don't think I need to find examples of this, as this was prevalent in every single game. To improve this much in a short duration, as well as showing more development in the game this far along in your career... that just speaks volumes to the greatness of Ma Long.
Fan played great too, but I don't think he came into this game expecting the beast form Ma Long was in. Furthermore, Ma just seemed to have more of a competitive spirit and overall was more motivated than Fan. And I think when Fan falls into the position of fending off an opponent rather than actively seeking to win from a mental point of view, he tends to fall a bit shorter. We've seen this in his matches against Liang Jingkun.
I feel like I've written WAY too much, but I just get really excited watching these great matches! This was such a treat to watch, and I'm grateful to be able to watch these two titans go head to head. Only when such greatness is playing can we truly gain an appreciation for the complexity and sophistication of the sport of table tennis!
Haven't seen Ma Long this pumped up for a match in a long long time. FZD played well, and would have beat just about anyone with this performance here today, except ML today.
He needed to win this one, pretty much broke after injuries and numerous losses..
ma long adjustment speed is intense he lost to fan.z down the line backhand three weeks ago and now he replays them like he was born to do it and his backhand speed has gotten better since then
i think he is choosing better strategies against backhand players like fan.z and harimoto
I'd just saw Ma long training..super lightning fast backhand to backhand.."the Dictator is coming back to shock us"
Ma Long played too good. Amazing Backhand from him.
@Legends reneverdie huh?? No one copied no one wtf you on
No due ,not amazing backhand you can see that its very slow weak so FAZ have that much time to change , place it to ma long wide forehand....most of the point he lost from bachhand but if he atempt forehand 99%he gets the point.ANYHOW ML LONG 💪🔥🔥
What? Fan has a better backand !!
I’ve watched these dudes so many times that I’m genuinely fond of both of them. What a match! It’s so exciting to see Ma roar again. FZD has been tactically astute in using Ma’s positioning against him, and he caught Ma out quite a few times. But Ma was ready for him this time. Great recovery. Great match.
Normally 16mins videos are when it's 4-3 set match. But this match is 4-1 & purely due to some awesome rallies. Fan was in his top form in this match, but Ma Long used backhand topspins more as compared to previous match. Last match he just blocked Fan's attack making it easier for him to attack more.
If it 4-3 this could be 1hour highlight video 😂
Ikr.. Ma Long is like Artificial Intelligence... With each iteration he becomes stronger and succeeds against that opponent the next time...
I think the game changer was Ma Long using backhand down the line many times. He used fzd’s poison against him and it worked.
@@saikarthikbathula7108 ML stands for machine learning, so yeah make sense :D
they can play like that because they are familiar with each other's game. Not because they are god-like. It is still another boring China vs China game.
The dragon, the dictator, the table tennis magician and utmost entertainer prevails again. When we start to think, he has accomplished enough and there is nothing to hang his head on, he rises to heights never seen before.
Wouldn't be surprised if the top 10 points list from this series has 5 points from this match alone.
And it would be in deference to other players... lol
The match was simply amazing
I wouldn't be surprised if the top 10 points only had points from this game!!!
I was almost in tears seeing ma long back in his form😭😭
Wow today ML outplayed FZD in every aspect, found the solution to his dominant bachkand with active blocking, adjusted his distance when pushed to sudden forehands and never let a chance to FZD to really attack. When FZD decided to change was already 3 sets behind and any lead of ML´s would stress him out, as it happened. Moral? ML at this time of his career can still adjust his game and overcome any inferiority of his (his bh for example) as he is the GOAT of TT. Cheers!
Agreed completely
@@fnproperty2435 more likely politics. Ma Long's image is too important to the China team to let him lose two times in a row to a teammate
@@keyboardrambo they r not that good a actor i can gurrenty u that. first see the match starting to end point to point. and see if at any point of time anyone is interested in giving a free point. u will get your answer 😁
@@abhiseks9281 Yeah, I also see Ma Long in the same tournament nearly losing to Falk. Something does not add up
I second on it. It also seems that ma long took one extra stepback from the table.
8:52, the ball touched both the net and the edge, however, MaLong still managed to save it and get the point. Legendary!
Possibly the highest quality game ever. Interesting how ML had closed down his bh angles. He won by not losing the quick bh exchanges which is FD's forte.
Last week's matchup and the 2017 wttc final are also fine choices I believe
신들에 전쟁 ..말이 안나온다 ..이런 탁구를 볼수 있다는게 정말 감사할뿐이다..누가 이기고 지고를 떠나 이건 미쳤다는 말보다 더한 단어를 찾을수 없다 ..순발력 ..집중력..스피도..정교함..와우 둘다 굿..마롱 우승 축하합니다
8:57!!! Did he just recover a NET EDGE?! Unreal
If that net edge become fzd point,, fzd need to apologize twice 😄😅
🔥🔥🔥 too good!!
Even double happiness doesn't work.
Ma looped it.
I think it will be selected in top10 of 2020
i'll start crying of happiness when ittf uploads 180p 60fps videos
Has to be the highest standard of play ever witnessed in any match. Ma Long for once won the battle of the backhands which was the key to beating FZD.
Wow - I am so happy for Ma Long! Really did not expect him to become that good again after his low of the last two years. Thought his era is over - but it is definitely not! Congratulations!!! Amazing game by both players!!!
FZD seemed invincible with his form coming to this match, but ML made him looks so subdued. He is the only player who can really do this to FZD.
when FZD can win ML more stable,he is the man.
this is the 10th time watching this... i am still in tears! I cant imagine how much countless nights of efforts and strong will ML had to take to overcome adversity. Two surgeries! wow......
please upload again in 1080 60fps. this is the match of the year!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Ma Long and Fan Zhendong is literally at another level especially compared to the rest of their teammates like Lin Gaoyuan Liang Junkun
@@tonyping2262 Don't forget Xu Xin, he's closely up there with FZD & ML
@henry t
I agree. That's why I listed XX cuz the other two didn't mention him at all.
I don't get what you mean by "disrespectful" though? To who(m) exactly by saying what? 🤔
I'm saying I love watching XX play the most, followed by Gauzy, even though XX is WR 1 he lost to Gauzy 2019. And his most recent game against Falck at the WTT Macao 2020 was also quite bad where he lost 1:3.
Basically I'm saying FZD+ML are more successful and consistent players atm, that's why they have a slight edge over XX in terms of being successful - not in terms of talent or mental strength.
FZD+ML won the last finals, didn't they? And why else would they most likely be chosen for Olympia 2021 and not XX? Don't get me wrong, XX is my most favorite player, fun to watch and he is most talented with playing penholder style (~ Ma Lin once).
I think he deserves way more - he's WR 1 for a good reason!
Is it true that XX will probably quit playing table tennis next year? :(
Anyway, I was wondering why XX didn't play at the ITTF Men's Singles 2020...
Missed him, same as Gauzy and Timo Boll -.-
Harimoto should be number 4 after them, and then Lin will arise as number 5
This is how you dictate a game-The dictator. The dragon fires back. The way he played backhand was awesome, being a forehand dominant player. He gave Fan some really tough rallies in backhand. Finally the revenge taken. The God of TT-Ma Long. All hail Ma Long.
Clearly the two best players on the planet going at it again in a finals.
I'm so happy for Ma Long finally he's back to playing great TT & some thought his career was finished
I thought it would be tough for Ma long to win ovver Fan zhendong, but I was totally wrong..
Ma long, your body might be little bit old but your spirit is spiraling just like when you were 20 years old.. or maybe even better.
Congratulations for retaining the Grand finals champion title, and you will always be remembered as the most respectful player in history to all table tennis fan's heart :) ❤
It was a tough match for ma long. The score board just doesn't explain how intense the match is.
Ma long played mental game a lot and learned from last week defeat.
Well said!! I cannot agree more
Absolutely trye
Amin
He is still alive
Relax
U have to actually watch the whole match
I believe this MaLong is in highest level and passion as ever!
A big "THANKS" to Lily Zhang for her great commentating
This is the best T.T. game I've ever seen，Thank you ML and FZD.
Thé same
I was thinking the same thing.
Wait there are always surprises. So many times we say in the games of Ma Long and Fan Zandong that it is the greatest game we have seen. As of this moment it seems that the biggest Ma Long has given in front of an even bigger and more inspiring fan from the 2017 World finals as long as they play we enjoy just like anyone who mentioned Messi or LeBron and Steph Kerry.
When ML retires (I hope it's years later), we need a compilation of ML vs FZD. These two simply produced so many amazing plays. I still remember the 2017 World Champions final. Oh, wait, XX vs ML as well.
Best version of Ma Long ❤ in the recent past !! Again starting to dominate games against Xu Xin & FZD
That was one of the best modern speed play matches I have watched. A whole new level of excellence. It looks like we are watching the match at 1.5x speed.
The Dragon hate to be number 2 in so many Finals.
And today, he fights fiercely, roaring through every circumstances.
He swiped out all of the critics toward him. Telling him that he should be retired! It's the new era of the youngster, etc.
Can't wait to watch them battle in the other finals (Tournaments,WC,WTTC, Olympic)!
Totally agree
So when it’s Harimoto the screaming is annoying but when it’s ma long it’s a good thing?
@kamyar please check harimotos scream and then compare with this.. there is no comparison
Like Timo Boll in a sense
@@kamyarzojaji3526 U r right
But at the same time Harimoto does it way more excessively
Not to mention how much more annoying his scream sounds 🤣
And in the end that's Ma Long we r talking abt here he can outscream Harimoto and we will still love him 😉
Malong is back may favorite tennis meja..mantap
This match was insane! Amazing rallies and this video took 16minutes. The score was 4 1 and it shows that many quality rally happened in this game. Thanks for both player for playing hard. I’m lucky to live in this era of ma long and fzd.hands down.
Ma Long needs to thank Fan for bringing the best out if him (stretch him so much). Against other players he may not be able to play like this.
the best match of all time I think. Wonderful. Incredible. Inforgettable.
The quality of this match is just unreal!
Amazing game , better then action movies. Thanks for uploading.
Ma Long you are the best! Not only a best player but a man, handsome man. Youre the symbol of what a sportsman should be. Thanks
Ma Long is back! Excellent performance this time. Totally different from the previous tournament. Respect!
Though it's not a popular sport in North America, but this is truly spectacular - power, flexibility, quickness, response, intelligence, precision, beauty ...... this game is so good and these two men are the best.
Really enjoyed Lily Zhang's commentary!
Recovering from a net and edge, ML fully deserves the victory!
What an incredible show for this great sport.
I had to rewind a few times because I blinked
Actually the rallies were so long and fast that I had my dinner and came back and it was still playing 😂
the war of gods
@@invoke1972 I was referring to some of the shots (not the rallies)
@@richardlay2308 haha. Okay! gotcha!!
Ma Long in Olympic mode
yine efsane bee bu ikisi maç yaparken dünya duruyor resmen. geriye sardıra sardıra izliyorum
Ma Long is in good shape and still best. FZD is also good. Congratulations for Ma!!! Great match. Thank you.
value for this week 1: 1 for Fan zhendong and ma long congrats to malong the dragon
Grettings from the club table tennis breadfruit Indonesia 🏓🇲🇨
My god, the quality of these shots. Just wow wow wow...
The Goat is back!
Congratulations to malong. The best.
a very exciting and excellent match and very much to enjoy! like a master piece of art.
Watched this video twice: still in awe! FZD would have won many more championships in any other era if it were not for Ma Long!
馬龍及樊振東絕對係現今最好嘅兩名球員，實力旗鼓相當，只是馬龍今天實在太猛了👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The passion for Ma Long was so inspiring to see
Damn ML, where was this energy the last time. Congrats you are back once again. But FZD is great too.
U mean...Harimoto energy ; )
Much better match to watch than Olympic final... FZD was not nervous in here, we could fully unleash his power.
wow amazing yess i was waiting a long time for see this¡
Wow! Highspeed tabetennis of two exceptional players.
Dragon oh how I've missed your roar. This is the Ma Long who can take the next Olympics.
And guess what, he just did and become the unarguably GOAT
A legendary match which will be long remembered !
二人ともかっこよすぎる
YEAH, MA LONG IS BACK. A HUGE PLEASURE FOR ALL TABLE TENNIS FANS !!!!!
When the highlights consist of all the points of the match you know that 2 legends are playing against each other !
2nd ...Ma Long the GOAT. INSPIRED many for crossing the bar and scale...in life and sports through TT.
Note: For the comentary although "The voice of Table Tennis" is missing and missed here for the current ITTF events, we all enjoyed the final. Could have been better with extra enlightenment, with the gifted voice of Adam Bobro though.
Adam Bobrow who screams KOKI NIWA!!! like an overexcited insufferable highschool freshman? His voice can be annoying as hell.
The indepth comentary with shot analysis were always the best from Adam. And he is really entertaining.
I second this, such a beautiful final but missing much needed hype and excitement.
And I believe he would have provided better insight on the technical aspect as well.
No disrespect to current commentators but it sounded bland.
Great duel. It seems that from the last week world cup final ML slightly changed the placement of his backhand, more often to the center of the table, causing some more errors of FZD.
마롱 드디어 이전대회의 결승을 설욕하다. 마롱의 스타일을 제일 좋아하는 1인입니다. 수고했어요.
I’m trying to think of other players in TT history that would have been competition to either of these two. This is amazing level of play.
The legend continues!
And surely the only phrases to describe this magnificent match are "great stuff", "too good" and "wow".
Speechless... Malong is too good!!!
Amazing match
I'm really fond of Lily Zhang's commenting here. Her voice is really calming and her energy is very positive. I think she has found her future career when her playing days are over. Yep, she's a real keeper!!
Alright bro, calm down.
@@rishabhdubey374 About what?
But I think she made a lil mistake on 8:19 play when she said Ma used FH side swipe (in the full match in this video she said FH only and got cut) when actually I believe he used BH
I don't need to say any more about how good and exciting this finial game between ML & FZD! One of the best TT game this year for sure. 👍👍🏓🏓 I would like to give compliments to Lily Zhang as a guest commentator, she did a good job 👌🏓
There is one God level player that is Ma Long ,no intro needed for legend.....
You can tell Ma Long just wants it more.... He was not happy to lose in the World Cup last week. Wow, what a match from both players. They play at a different level. Ridiculously good
So glad for Ma just strong and beautifull yet number one my favorit player 🥇🏆🏓!
Very very good finish. Ma Long perfect. Harika...
Best match of 2020.
Duel spectacular in the world is back.
They just made the level of table tenis even higher by playing many finals like this, making it harder other players to catch on.
Finally Ma Long, welcome back
The man himself is back.
When people thought FZD has become an unbeatable and impenetrable wall, Ma Long tamed the beast once more time!
I think this match is the most exciting and competitive match i have ever saw...
Finally! Ma long won the end of year 2020 ittf
roofing for you so long time finally Ma long won the tournament
What an Incredible game!
Ma playing at his best. Good to have him back.
The longest shortcut video in ITTF ever as the battle was out of this world.
Malong changed his tatic to play backhand rally equally with Fzd. This tatic is very useful and makes Fzd backhand error a lot.
Wow!!! Two great matches in a row from these two, last tournament and this..Top 2 in the world for sure when Ma is healthy. You don't often see Ma Long screaming and into it like this, he really wanted this one. Needed it to even out the past year of Fan winning more. I like how genuine Ma Long's cho's and screams are, he really means them, not automated or rude or overdone like so many. FZD will be ruling TT for a while, he's incredible..good to see Ma still able to beat him sometimes. Great match!!!
It proves ML has an excellent BH on the par with the top players and The mental game decides the result when everything else is equal.
Ma Long the GOAT!! Just incredible!!
Wowwwww!!! Ma Long's craziest game in the last 3 years. As if he came out of the mouth of a cannon. A simply fantastic and fun game💎💎💎💎
