Ma Long, the Dragon, the Captain, the Dictator, the Master, the Legend, and now the GOAT has become the first player since Wang Liqin to win three men’s singles titles but the first player since Zhuang Zedong (1961, 1963, 1965) to win them consecutively. The previous generation had Waldner, we have Ma Long as the new Mozart of Table Tennis.

Even though the scores seemed to suggest that ML had easy win for each and every game he played in this tournament, the reality was not like that at all. In the 4th set of the final, he was trailing all the time and narrowly managed to comeback at the very end. Had he had lost that set, which was very likely, the whole game could have been totally different. Falck would have boosted up his confidence even more, and ML would’ve become more nervous, the outcome would become more unpredictable. After ML won the 4th set luckily, everyone knows that the game was basically over. ML now could play with relaxation, afford to try any thing he likes, whereas Falck lost the momentum he had gathered. Same situation happened in the semifinals against LJK. So, Don’t just look at scores and underestimate the amount of difficulties and challenges ML has been facing.
@@shanelawson5072 "THE BEST" can't describe his completeness on technique...... He always know what to do between each shots, when to drive, when to loop. Block with power or making the ball lose its momentum.....
Ma Long hit such high quality balls this match that Falck couldn’t really use his killer smashes and counters with his short pip forehand. He also had a lot of low and short returns so that the opponent couldn’t initiate attack very well. Brilliant strategy and outstanding ball control!
I think under pressure from Ma's pivot forehand Falck could not realize the potential of his backhand like when he played with Lin or Harimoto. Even An Jae Hyun could already check his backhand. And I think Chinese coaches have realized that Falck makes a lot of unforced errors because his skills are not on par with top 5 players or maybe his pip-rubber backfires on him.
This guy has been winning just because players nowadays have not been accustomed in dealing with short pips being used in actual tournaments. It was a case where players prepared for fast and bouncy ball exchange designed to adapt with China's table tennis standards. With Matias in the tournament, players who are used to be good in looping and driving suddenly finds themselves in trouble as short pips usually return the ball very low and modifies the speed at which the ball would normally bounce back over the other table. Any player who would win over Falck would definitely prove that they are indeed masters of the sport as they wouldn't fall to the trap of unfamiliar foes joining the tourneys. On the other hand, Matias prove that beating a specific opponent can be achieve by using methods that would make the opponent feel less comfortable and thus gaining control over game. But with Ma Long's knowledge and experience, no amount of counter would dominate his standing unless you beat him on his own game. Just like how FZD manage to beat him. Btw FZD patterned his style with Ma Long but still is a far cry from the dictators textbook performance

Ma Long is the king of the table tennis. After 7 month injury, he won two very strong tournament in a row. He had won world championships at 2015, 2017. He won again at 2019. Unbelievable. Rating means nothing. Ma is the best player (arguably the greatest player of all time). Congratulations champion.
Ma long is the greatest of all time right now...the only grand slam winner with 3 consecutive world champ title. The Dragon,The Dictator,and now The GOAT

A lot of the matches Ma Long won by that score in this tournament were closer than they appeared. The thing with Ma Long is that he still managed to rise in those crutial moments and finish the job before his opponents had a chance to fight back.
Mattias at his best could beat Ma Long. Unfortunately he's too inconsistent. Hopefully he will improve when it's time for the Olympics. He isn't even the Swedish Champion, though. Sweden is coming back to the top again it seems.
Best player ever ,he can adapt so well, not only power like Fan and Harimoto,but the genius of Niwa with the chop block if needed. He has so much touch he drains some every night and keeps it in a bottle for when he needs it. Respect Ma Long !
At the age of 30 for the third time world champion. When other (chinese) players normally retire, he still overpowers and dominates his opponents with the best forehand I've ever seen and unmached flexibility. Truly the Greatest Player of all time!

The most dominant athlete of our lifetimes. It is a privilege to watch him. That is all. PS: Bobrow talked way too much. He likes to hear his voice a bit too much lately.
For those who don't know , Ma Long won WTTC single champion 3 times in a row(2015 2017 2019) , the first man who did that was 莊則棟 , also a Chinese , and it was 54 years ago
Ma Long had a lot tougher way to the finals beating top notch players unlike Falck, who was very good and dominant but didnt meet a top 5 player. Iam glad the soft won over pimples. Iam disappointed that they didnt upload the premium quality high FPS video like last year for the finals.
Ma Long, superstar is what you are. Absolutely at the pinnacle of table tennis. No one on this planet can beat him in this form. See how he adapts to the opponents is the most admirable/wonderful ability. Possibly the greatest attacking/offensive player of all time.
Ma Long did not give Mattias chance to counterattack . He served short , half long on the backhand and keep backhand slow searching Mattias's middle not giving constant speed and keep returns short, low over the net avoiding Mattias forehand flick . When the forehand goes cross Ma Long keep the ball very low over the net and this makes smashes inconsistent for Falck . It is the game plan of Ma Long that give him advantage , Falck can play very strong yet Ma Long won by shutting down Falck's strong weapons - powerful backhand behind the table and brilliant forehand smash when the ball is on clear forehand. Congratulations to Ma Long and his coach ! I like how fearless was Ma Long under 20 years winning by brute force and energy even when he lose it was spectacular play now days it's more using the right tools in the game for him ...
Congratulations to both...Ma Long for championships 3 in a row.. Mattias for Swedish and short pips players...wondering what will happen if Mattias could win the 4th round...
@@iChriZGaming well, there is a ruge diference between a WTTC end a W. Cup. FZD couldn't manage his nerves and play well as the favorite. We simple dont know if he would be calable of beating ML without this mental game. FZD is a great player, but still has to prove himself as a world class champion if he wants to be compared with ML, ZJK, WL and Waldner.
Waldner would have taken him off his game and beaten him in many matches both at their best..Although Ma would have also won some..Waldner gave him a good fight and was kinda close when he was old and fat and semi retired when Ma was at his peak..
Ma Long is our generation’s Waldner. 1997 - Waldner didn’t drop a set 2019 - Ma Long drops 1 set max in all his games. No one apart from these two have dominated like this in last 20 yrs.
@poortaiwanese games were slower back then with less spin, Waldner just stood there and knew how to return perfectly, he anticipated the shots unbelievably. The game has changed these days.
We are all lucky people because we can witness the greatness of MaLong in the world of table tennis directly. Maybe later in our day there will also be mass-produced another MaLong blades in different types. Thanks ITTF Channel for this uploaded video👍
Ma Long is the goat and I am so happy he won. (hoping that people stop telling that Waldner is) Not only singles but also doubles with Wang Chuqin. But I think the real final game for me was vs. Liang Jingkun. That guy really was difficult to play. Incredibly athletic and strong.
Ma Long U rule......A happy father and son as coach n champ was the best sight.its a message for whole europe that watever be the size of ball, skill and devotion cant be beaten
Falck did soo many mistakes, he gone on fire on 3rd set, and a bit on 4th but with the mistakes and he also had unlucky moments, the match was easy to ML. However ML is the best player in history, congrats to Ma Long!
ML used various tactics to induce Falck’s mistakes. This way, he can avoid a lot of energy-wasting looping and running . ML is getting old, he cannot play the same way he played in 2015 and still stand on top.
I play table tennis and I can imagine the sacrafice and work it took to get here.... Many people think that just because the table is small, it's not as tiring but in reality table tennis one of the hardest sports I've ever played.
Mattias put up a good fight. Got me nervous in Games 3 and 4 when Ma Long was having trouble with the short pips receives. Really great to see Captain Long back after being injured. Thank goodness he was able to recover unlike Zhang Jike.
This guy has been winning just because players nowadays have not been accustomed in dealing with short pips being used in actual tournaments. It was a case where players prepared for fast and bouncy ball exchange designed to adapt with China's table tennis standards. With Matias in the tournament, players who are used to be good in looping and driving suddenly finds themselves in trouble as short pips usually return the ball very low and modifies the speed at which the ball would normally bounce back over the other table. Any player who would win over Falck would definitely prove that they are indeed masters of the sport as they wouldn't fall to the trap of unfamiliar foes joining the tourneys. On the other hand, Matias prove that beating a specific opponent can be achieve by using methods that would make the opponent feel less comfortable and thus gaining control over game. But with Ma Long's knowledge and experience, no amount of counter would dominate his standing unless you beat him on his own game. Just like how FZD manage to beat him. Btw FZD patterned his style with Ma Long but still is a far cry from the dictators textbook performance
@@ultimatewarriorfrieza275 "This guy has been winning just because players nowadays have not been accustomed in dealing with short pips being used in actual tournaments" Huh?! He has been playing on the tour for the last 9 years and you talk about him as if he just popped up yesterday. If what you say is true, surely he should have won a lot more in the beginning when nobody knew anything about him or his style. 9 years later not so much. People are aware of him and his success is down to hard work, not "just" because nobody is familiar with his style. Give him the credit he deserves
Ma Long' forehand is the most satisfied forehand I have ever seen, now I am confused when comparing with Wang Liqin. Moreover, Ma Long not only has stunning skills but also has a wise mind and beautiful strategy. IMO, if we want to beat Ma Long, we need both skill of Fan Zhendong and strategy of Wang Hao
i think Ma Long is the best player of ALL TIME. No one plays like him. No one dominated like him. His serve is so unique. He is the most tactical player I've seen.
ML is the undisputed GOAT. The only argument we could make now is whose the 2nd GOAT between Waldner and Zhang Jike. I would actually lean toward Zhang Jike for having more Slam titles and more domination during his reign from 2011-2014.
Ma long has one world championship more than Waldner, but Waldner has one world championship without losing a set. Also Waldner has grown up in an environment which wasn't even the half sophisticated as China is, and still he did what he did. Also, table tennis today is too different than old table tennis. So I think they are both the GOAT and they cannot be compared. Big respect for Ma Long, he's really perfect and unbeatable!
I think Ma Long finally surpassed ZJK and Waldner to put the GOAT argument into stone. ML surpassed ZJK in most Slam titles won by an individual player and surpassed Waldner in term of reputation for the GOAT. In my book, the GOATs ranking should be 1. Ma Long, 2. ZJK, and 3. Waldner.
@@christianadriananiceta2753 Yep. But ML still has next year Olympics to beat that record of ZJK and perhaps even become the first double grandslammer.

You are on drugs. I'd actually take Falck over almost any other player the way he's playing. He has potential to be great, to be able to keep up with someone like Ma Long through every set they played speaks volumes about someone who's playing with pips on their forehand. He is quite impressive, and few people have the consistency to really give Falck problems like Ma does. I'd actually like to see him play Lin
@@Dylan-gu1ug Potential?What potential?He's 27 his game is well defined.He just got lucky with draws.It was a boring match.Ma Long played very conservative.Short pips is a hindrance not a solution.Europeans should revise their strategy;getting tall players into ping pong will get them nowhere.

Ma Long had a lot tougher way to the finals beating top notch players unlike Falck, who was very good and dominant but didnt meet a top 5 player.
Iam glad the soft won over pimples.
Iam disappointed that they didnt upload the premium quality high FPS video like last year for the finals.
3-peat of WTTC - only person to do it in the modern era. Cementing him as the undisputed GOAT. Fitting it was against a Swede (surpassing Waldner)
The fourth set has deciced the game!
that was a close one!
The dictator always has the necessary luck in the deciding point, that is why he dictates.
Falck had some chance
@@KC-gy5gq Falck makes too many unforced errors when it matters. Sometimes you just have to put the ball back on the table. Just losing simple points.

Ma Long, superstar is what you are. Absolutely at the pinnacle of table tennis. No one on this planet can beat him in this form. See how he adapts to the opponents is the most admirable/wonderful ability. Possibly the greatest attacking/offensive player of all time.
Tactical Genius has won all his games 4-0 or 4-1 at the World Championships. Congratulations to the 30 years old, 3 times World Champion;-)
11 times actually
Hammer dieser Ma Long! Immer stark, unwahrscheinlich schnell und präzise und zielstrebig! Unbedingter Siegeswille. Ein verdienter Champion!
Ma Long, my inspiration. A legend forever!!!
Ma Long選手とMattias Falck選手、どちらの選手も素晴らしいプレーがあり、とても良い試合でした!
Ma Long選手、世界卓球個人戦の男子シングルス3連覇おめでとうございます!
ma long showing us how to win with the minimal amount of smashings lol.
yeah incredible he figured out that the other guy couldn't play close up to the net well
Trying to beat ma long is like trying to cut a lock with a butterknife
if the knife is heated to 3000 celsius it is easy....
@@tomspice73 the butter knife is plastic
@@rbdel more commonly wood I think
Nah if the knife was heated to 3000 Celsius it would melt
Then try Xu Xin
MArvelous LONG won Single and Doubles , so amazing !!!!!!!!! Congratulations MA LONG . YOU DESERVE IT ..
Ma long is not only best he is the beast in the game. In his prime , no one will be ever able to beat him.
Ma Long did not give Mattias chance to counterattack . He served short , half long on the backhand and keep backhand slow searching Mattias's middle not giving constant speed and keep returns short, low over the net avoiding Mattias forehand flick . When the forehand goes cross Ma Long keep the ball very low over the net and this makes smashes inconsistent for Falck . It is the game plan of Ma Long that give him advantage , Falck can play very strong yet Ma Long won by shutting down Falck's strong weapons - powerful backhand behind the table and brilliant forehand smash when the ball is on clear forehand. Congratulations to Ma Long and his coach ! I like how fearless was Ma Long under 20 years winning by brute force and energy even when he lose it was spectacular play now days it's more using the right tools in the game for him ...
Grande "MA LONG" sin duda el que más se lo merecía , mejor jugador de estos tiempos 🏓🏓🏓🏓☝️💪🤩
Congratulations to both...Ma Long for championships 3 in a row.. Mattias for Swedish and short pips players...wondering what will happen if Mattias could win the 4th round...
That concludes the discussion of "who is the goat"
@@iChriZGaming calm down, its the world championships not world cup
@@iChriZGaming well, there is a ruge diference between a WTTC end a W. Cup.
FZD couldn't manage his nerves and play well as the favorite. We simple dont know if he would be calable of beating ML without this mental game. FZD is a great player, but still has to prove himself as a world class champion if he wants to be compared with ML, ZJK, WL and Waldner.
@@TheRafaelBond Which title is bigger?
@ExterminatorFuzi Yes way :)
Waldner would have taken him off his game and beaten him in many matches both at their best..Although Ma would have also won some..Waldner gave him a good fight and was kinda close when he was old and fat and semi retired when Ma was at his peak..
Ma Long is our generation’s Waldner.
1997 - Waldner didn’t drop a set
2019 - Ma Long drops 1 set max in all his games.
No one apart from these two have dominated like this in last 20 yrs.
21 pts，only need 2-0，3 sets to 2
p sure it was best of 3 before and now it's best of 7
42 points vs 44 now.
@poortaiwanese games were slower back then with less spin, Waldner just stood there and knew how to return perfectly, he anticipated the shots unbelievably. The game has changed these days.
We are all lucky people because we can witness the greatness of MaLong in the world of table tennis directly. Maybe later in our day there will also be mass-produced another MaLong blades in different types. Thanks ITTF Channel for this uploaded video👍
you can't beat him. he is too good
Can"t describe how i'm glad to see that great Ma Long is back
Ma Long is the goat and I am so happy he won. (hoping that people stop telling that Waldner is) Not only singles but also doubles with Wang Chuqin. But I think the real final game for me was vs. Liang Jingkun. That guy really was difficult to play. Incredibly athletic and strong.
I am glad to live in the same time with the such great man like Ma Long! He is the real soul of the table tennis! Long live dear Ma!
It’s official. ML is the GOAT.
So glad that the Boss is back to business. During these championships, I even found him more stunning than ever...
Congratulations ma long you are the best
You can see ML struggled against Falck's fast FH. But ML's intelligence paid off at the end.
ML = Perfection personified.
ML : GOAT..
ML : Living Legend..
same here！！keep practice Table Tennis！！inspire by the G.O.A.T.=Ma Long！！🔥
must be the best game on screen to watch of all time. well done
The Dragon is back! Good luck for the upcoming olympic games in Tokyo
Ma Long U rule......A happy father and son as coach n champ was the best sight.its a message for whole europe that watever be the size of ball, skill and devotion cant be beaten
Falck did soo many mistakes, he gone on fire on 3rd set, and a bit on 4th but with the mistakes and he also had unlucky moments, the match was easy to ML. However ML is the best player in history, congrats to Ma Long!
ma long had so many mistakes starting in 3rd set... so far away from his prime...
Who cares
ML used various tactics to induce Falck’s mistakes. This way, he can avoid a lot of energy-wasting looping and running . ML is getting old, he cannot play the same way he played in 2015 and still stand on top.
@@fungkam7501 u don't know what you're talking about
I play table tennis and I can imagine the sacrafice and work it took to get here....
Many people think that just because the table is small, it's not as tiring but in reality table tennis one of the hardest sports I've ever played.
👏👏👏Ma long is king of table tennis
Mattias put up a good fight. Got me nervous in Games 3 and 4 when Ma Long was having trouble with the short pips receives. Really great to see Captain Long back after being injured. Thank goodness he was able to recover unlike Zhang Jike.
Well played both players. Ma Long
The Dictator
The Godfather
The Legend
The Goat. Ma Long.
Remember the name.
same here！！keep practice Table Tennis！！inspire by the G.O.A.T.=Ma Long！！🔥
surpassed everybody including himself.
Mattias is good, but its like fighting Naruto, you just can't win. Only someone from the same team, that is at the same time a rival, stands a chance.
thumbs up for your Naruto comment ;) !
This guy has been winning just because players nowadays have not been accustomed in dealing with short pips being used in actual tournaments. It was a case where players prepared for fast and bouncy ball exchange designed to adapt with China's table tennis standards. With Matias in the tournament, players who are used to be good in looping and driving suddenly finds themselves in trouble as short pips usually return the ball very low and modifies the speed at which the ball would normally bounce back over the other table. Any player who would win over Falck would definitely prove that they are indeed masters of the sport as they wouldn't fall to the trap of unfamiliar foes joining the tourneys. On the other hand, Matias prove that beating a specific opponent can be achieve by using methods that would make the opponent feel less comfortable and thus gaining control over game. But with Ma Long's knowledge and experience, no amount of counter would dominate his standing unless you beat him on his own game. Just like how FZD manage to beat him. Btw FZD patterned his style with Ma Long but still is a far cry from the dictators textbook performance
@@ultimatewarriorfrieza275 he was pretty close. It could have easily been 2-2.
@@ultimatewarriorfrieza275 "This guy has been winning just because players nowadays have not been accustomed in dealing with short pips being used in actual tournaments"
Huh?! He has been playing on the tour for the last 9 years and you talk about him as if he just popped up yesterday. If what you say is true, surely he should have won a lot more in the beginning when nobody knew anything about him or his style. 9 years later not so much. People are aware of him and his success is down to hard work, not "just" because nobody is familiar with his style. Give him the credit he deserves
@@ajkorras
Close but no cigar!
This fight made many people very exciting!
Ma Long' forehand is the most satisfied forehand I have ever seen, now I am confused when comparing with Wang Liqin. Moreover, Ma Long not only has stunning skills but also has a wise mind and beautiful strategy. IMO, if we want to beat Ma Long, we need both skill of Fan Zhendong and strategy of Wang Hao
Well,Wang Hao had his own skills and beat Ma Long thrice in a row.
I wish Wang Hao can resume his career. He will still be on par with Ma Long.
Just incredible and well deserved.
MALONG is The Greatest！
Amazing that the human form can be so quick and focused. Amazing!
Hope I’ll stop hearing people say Waldner is the GOAT after this
And especially if he wins in the 2020 olympics ;) !
Never, white supremacy!
i think Ma Long is the best player of ALL TIME. No one plays like him. No one dominated like him. His serve is so unique. He is the most tactical player I've seen.
1:18 What a powerful shot by Ma Long
Ma Long is the GOAT!
What is GOAT?
@@설레임-c7m Greatest Of All Time my friend
@@angelguevara7730thx so much 🤗
@@설레임-c7m you're welcome! ☺
ML is the undisputed GOAT. The only argument we could make now is whose the 2nd GOAT between Waldner and Zhang Jike. I would actually lean toward Zhang Jike for having more Slam titles and more domination during his reign from 2011-2014.
Congratulations, Ma Long!! You are the best! No mercy with short pips!
Ma long - the phenomenon of table tennis
Ma long has one world championship more than Waldner, but Waldner has one world championship without losing a set. Also Waldner has grown up in an environment which wasn't even the half sophisticated as China is, and still he did what he did. Also, table tennis today is too different than old table tennis. So I think they are both the GOAT and they cannot be compared. Big respect for Ma Long, he's really perfect and unbeatable!
I think Ma Long finally surpassed ZJK and Waldner to put the GOAT argument into stone. ML surpassed ZJK in most Slam titles won by an individual player and surpassed Waldner in term of reputation for the GOAT. In my book, the GOATs ranking should be 1. Ma Long, 2. ZJK, and 3. Waldner.
still ZJK had the closest to having 2 time grandslam title though..
but 3x wttc sure is impressive
@@christianadriananiceta2753 Yep. But ML still has next year Olympics to beat that record of ZJK and perhaps even become the first double grandslammer.
@@pham1020 If only Ma Long won wttc during celluloid era and beat Wang Hao.. then its easier to declare that he is indeed the best of all time
@@christianadriananiceta2753I hope Ma Long wins in Tokyo for his second grand slam ;) !
@@christianadriananiceta2753 He wasn't mentally the best from 2009-2013
Well played Mattias Falck! Before the match I didn't expect him to win a single set against Ma Long...

@@ultimatewarriorfrieza275 which side does Mattias use short pips? backhand ?
Mattias got Falcked up by the dictator.
haha. that's a good one.
You think you're punny? This is shit.
still remember in SF
Swedish fans 'desecrating' their own flag with "AN you're soon FALCKED" LOL
Your falcked up
I really hate swedish fans..
no manners
Great Ma 'disaster' Long. None can escape even after his long absence.
Ma Long won the final without requiring as much effort as in the semi-final.
You are on drugs. I'd actually take Falck over almost any other player the way he's playing. He has potential to be great, to be able to keep up with someone like Ma Long through every set they played speaks volumes about someone who's playing with pips on their forehand. He is quite impressive, and few people have the consistency to really give Falck problems like Ma does. I'd actually like to see him play Lin
Dylan to be fair he did have to play against LJK who beat FZD earlier in the tourney...
@Dylan Did you watch ML semi final vs LJK? If you did, I am surprised you did not agree with my statement. If you did not, go and watch it.
@@Dylan-gu1ug Potential?What potential?He's 27 his game is well defined.He just got lucky with draws.It was a boring match.Ma Long played very conservative.Short pips is a hindrance not a solution.Europeans should revise their strategy;getting tall players into ping pong will get them nowhere.

I wish Ma had the same quality of BH as his FH
His backhand is good because it's stable and consistent. Not risky because of more power!
