WTTC 2001 : Kong Linghui - Wang Liqin

[@Axhru]

5:00 It's great that Kong praises his juniors' growth and skill development.✨

[@Detherocable]

some of the best and most graceful backhands i have ever seen. also, a very commendable victory for wang considering it was 2-0 down. legends.

[@antang6964]

Two years later Schlager would show to the world how to beat WLQ with the backhand.KLH looks graceful because he only hits half baked shots with hardly any weight behind his strokes.

Down 2-0, comes back to reverse sweep and win 3-2. Reminiscent of his 2000 US Open performance.
