This is the best of the best of MA Lin. Beating MA Long who is a solid player rarely anyone can beat is MA Lin greatest accomplishment. According to statistic information, MA Lin beat more than 88% of the time against his opponent. He is the greatest of all time. Play 7 times in world championship game and won 4 world championship, 1 Olymbic Gold, won single, double, and team champion for gold which no one has done. He play since 5 for about 30 years and retired, but did come out for exibition show game afterward.
Totally agree with the point of this being the best of the best of Ma Lin. But according to statistics in ITTF official page, Ma Long has a 93,5% win percentage. Ma Long only needs 1 Olympic Crown to be better than Ma Lin, sadly for his fans. Ma Lin had his time. Now is the time for Ma Long and Xu Xin (although I personally think that Xu Xin will low his rythm) and soon will be Fan Zhendong time ;)
Never been world champion singles. Surely if you are the greatest you should have won that. Wang Liqin won it 3 times. Waldner 2 times + olympics as well. Ma LIn is a fantastic player and a legend but not the all time best.
This match is better than any Jedi fight, maybe the greatest match of all time. Ma Lin is the true legend of table tennis as a player then as a captain of team China who rules over the world of ping-pong since twenty years. Ma Long is the best tennis player of history but that not enought against Ma Lin the wizard ;) The public was lucky.
It's simply a brilliant game for both players. Ma Lin is obviously seen much more mature and calm very experience, he succesfully explored his mental strength against the raising star Ma Long who at the end must admitted the best of Ma Lin. Very amazing and interesting game.
Ma Long did find out the weak spot of Ma Lin at the beginning: Ma Lin's entire right side ! However, for some reason, Ma Long did not follow through to the rest of the game. Any way, I have learned something here that if you can put the pen-holder aggressor to his left and attack his right empty side with a surprise. That is the only way to force a pen-holder to become a defender, and a pen-holder defender usually is a poor defender ! George Wu, AIA 2012-5-27
Poor Ma Lin, great player as he was, never won the WTTC Single Title. If I am correct, 3 times runner-up. Nevertheless, he defeated Waldner back in 1999 in the WTTC semi-final as a new player. Since then, he became the table tennis maestro for many years. However, I think he did not peak at the right time and lost to Wang Li Qin twice in the WTTC finals. He also lost to Liu Guo Liang in the 1999 WTTC Final.
Ma Lin has a deceptive bottom spin serve, where he immediately follows up the chop/slice by quickly flipping the racket and delivering a false top spin. The result is a chop serve that looks like top spin. It fooled the commentator consistently, and Ma Long once or twice.
Because the hand holding the racket will sweat, even a little will make the racket not tight. You can't always return to the rest area to wipe your sweat with a towel. So touch the table where the ball is hard to reach, you can remove that "a little" sweat.
@@keli4775 Why don't they just change the grip? I play both badminton and tabletennis and with badminton even though my hands sweat *a lot* it is never an issue.
A young Ma Long made a lot of judgement mistakes which I think that wouldn't happen after 2015. This match reminds me of how the Dragon lost to Wang Hao at both WTTC semifinals. The Dragon is confused by the speed and spin variations from an old and wily Ma Lin.
Stop complainig about the Brittish comentator, he made the courtside commentary more interesting and great BECAUSE he wasn't an astoot table tennis expert, and his Brittish accent and enthusiemsum made it more interesting and exciting.
Commentator was a little off kilter in his verbage, but still liked his commentary and point description, he's more akin to a Brittish ringside boxing match I'd say..LOL!

Ma Long's extraordinary psychological strength make him the best player in the world, we can see that through the first turn.
Both are amazing player. In fourth game, come back of Ma Lin was something very surprising for me... Thank you for uploading this match,,

Just went on to comments mid video to see if anyone had mentioned the commentator. Wish I hadn't read the outcome
And 2 years after my comment, Ma Long turned out to be Olympic champion :P Feels so nice ^^
there's another great one with Ma Lin v. Zhang Jike...who took Silver against Ma Long, and Gold in Team. :)
Fantastic commentary, very entertaining!

these guys are so good
I like MA Long. He is very tactical
Same here.
I wish I could play like they warm up. It's such a great feeling to crack the ball at that pace. So fun.
4:00 I love the warm-ups.
It's simply a brilliant game for both players. Ma Lin is obviously seen much more mature and calm very experience, he succesfully explored his mental strength against the raising star Ma Long who at the end must admitted the best of Ma Lin. Very amazing and interesting game.
Ma long wasnt a rising atar , he was months away from number 1
Que emociôn ver a Malin y MA LON .
Como seria mi emociôn en vivo.
I admire both of you - Ma Lin and Ma Long.
I love Malin so much.

Are they Father n Son?
like you play Ma Long vs Ma Lin from Thailand
The commentary person is on shrooms he keeps talking about magic and harry potter hahaha ;D
But crazy game Ma lin is doing really well for his age :P
Best traditional penhold. Rare to see it now a days. Now they hold modern penhold style.
Made in China Legends!!!
Untuk saat ini malin vs malong seimbang dua2nya bagus
My favourite match !
Awesome Game!!! Love This sport!!!... Pino.

nonono, Liu Guo Liang is his teacher when Liu Guo Liang was not in the WTTC anymore, and then Ma Lin becomes is the greatest
But that's reasonable! He's truly magician :)
Why do they keep wiping the table? Both of them are doing it in the same place -- the top left of their side. Thanks.
It's annoying how the commentator is obviously supporting Ma Lin....
+mubtasim rahman He was giving regards to a legend about to retire.
THERE WAS MA LIN BEFORE MA LONG
how much do money do you win in these tournaments
Great match!
Are they father and son?
Very nice guys !!!! thanks for the video...
China number 1
so...are they a Ma family?
Who was against Ma Lin?
Ma Long has got a long way to go after 2011. George Wu, AIA,ARHITECT,NCARB 207-6-28
Ma Lin he is a great player wwooww

father and son
true
Professor and student
British commentary is not so much technically descriptive, and treads the middle ground, but is interesting and worth listening to.
nice game
Regarding the negative comment about stating the match result. Why would you want to look at the comments before you watch the match?
yes, i agree with you on that. But i also agree with the commentator. Ma Lin 4 ever!
Loveeee Malong's shirt... anyone know where i can get them?

ma long was higher on the ranking that moment and still, why only superlatives for ma lin..?
Beacause Ma Lin WAS...
Ma Lin was Ma Lin and Ma Long the paper no1 who had won nothing at the time.
Who is the sports commentator here?
One of the most mental games ever
who was the commentator here?
Ma Lin Is the best :D
Legends of china
Dear commentator, please tell us what is meant by "Nothing shot" ?
+Aman Srivastava im not the commentator but, it means a shot for nothing?
People knock the Brittish commentator unfairly here because he is not table tennis 'technical'. I rather enjoyed him because he WASN'T.
I like the commentator just fine. Thumbs up.
17:05 WHat serve is that? THe commentator says topspin but malong pushed it back?
Ma Lin has a deceptive bottom spin serve, where he immediately follows up the chop/slice by quickly flipping the racket and delivering a false top spin. The result is a chop serve that looks like top spin. It fooled the commentator consistently, and Ma Long once or twice.
excellent commentating
8:13 what happen...please let me know
Serve touched the net
Феноменальный Ма Линь!
The best ever, Love you
Ma Lin's capability was tremendous.
Audio offset + bad cuts... why? If you dont know how to make video edit, dont do this!
Why do they keep touching the table??
Because the hand holding the racket will sweat, even a little will make the racket not tight. You can't always return to the rest area to wipe your sweat with a towel. So touch the table where the ball is hard to reach, you can remove that "a little" sweat.
@@keli4775 Why don't they just change the grip? I play both badminton and tabletennis and with badminton even though my hands sweat *a lot* it is never an issue.
It's also a table tennis habit/between point ritual so to speak.
Good old days
didn't the ball touch Ma Lin's court twice at 44:27 ????
It touched the net first
A young Ma Long made a lot of judgement mistakes which I think that wouldn't happen after 2015. This match reminds me of how the Dragon lost to Wang Hao at both WTTC semifinals. The Dragon is confused by the speed and spin variations from an old and wily Ma Lin.
yes but youth gives energy
the older you become the more experience you gain but you lose alot of power and speed
so its better young
you missed out justin beiber at the start...
good game
Guys anyone know the name of the song after the first round ?
Stop complainig about the Brittish comentator, he made the courtside commentary more interesting and great BECAUSE he wasn't an astoot table tennis expert, and his Brittish accent and enthusiemsum made it more interesting and exciting.
Super👍
what song
I wish i can meet ma lin and ma long 😔 im a ping pong player too im from ph
Ph?
Yeh
Awsome match ... but sorry son Ma long .. Papa of the Game Ma lin is the best everr
Fantastic service ma lin :D
To są geniusze swiatowi
Its a tradition for most people, as well as it wipes the sweat off their hands and keeps their racket and hand dry.
the commentator was a Ma Lin fan
Love penholders, traditional or RVP...
מי יועד איזה גומיות יש להם??
Ini baru master
Imortal penhold god
Ma Lin😎
Generasi Kan pertama Ma Lin kedua ma long ke tiga agak nama nya ma ilong betul gak😅
wait how can people sitting that high up see the ball?
I've already watched this match in its entirety but I'm watching it again because I fucking love the commentator!! Does anyone know his name?
Ma long very consisten
Most outrageous commentator I've ever heard on any sport.
Jossss, Ora umum.. mantaaap
Impressive VW advertising hoarding.
Ma Lin - Super!!!
Isthe best
"In my commentary career of 30 years now..." Seriously? Must have been 30 years of commentating on some other sport.
that good tenis the table
Commentator was a little off kilter in his verbage, but still liked his commentary and point description, he's more akin to a Brittish ringside boxing match I'd say..LOL!
like the old fox ma lin.

Сплошная крутизна.
