Jorgic's tricks worked only in the first two games and then it was a fast skid for him. Ma Long may be past his prime but still hard to beat for almost all players.

That was what a goat can do: even if things don't go well, still find ways to win.

That's why malong is a legend, totally nerves of steel

Unbelievable how that second set broke Darko's Spirit...it really is such a psychological game

Wide to the FH - Ma Long kryptonite. Reverse pendulum serve to the FH - Darko Jorgic kryptonite. 23:16 world's best crush FH in action.

I am confident that if Ma Long keeps practicing, he still has a chance to win the next Olympics gold.

No way. It is not only because of him, being too old by that time, but also because of new players, who are becoming better and better. Harimoto, Lin Yun Ju, Alexis Lebrun, and last time, Wang Chuqin is a monster. He probably already won't have a chances to win next WTTC

Jorgic obviously relied too much on BH, and he couldn't handle the forehand corner well enough. To beast ML one has to have no obvious weakness all around or it will definitely be exploited by the dragon.

European players all have excellent backhands, but their forehands are devastating Because all their coaches did too

Once ML warms up to your style, you're done. Better win the first set and try to run with it.

impressive play by both players.

This was a good one

Ma Long is a very composed player free from the almost Tourette-like compulsive “ticks” displayed by other players between points.

Ma long doesnt skip leg day

Ma Long totally dominated the 3rd and 4th games. Jorgic is very good but he got overpowered.

Ма Long👍

Jorgic is really impressive.

Да,у большого дракона не забалуешь!

Darko let Ma Long out of the net. he was so dominant in the second only to lose for ma long to regain his confidence

Darco had the centimeters not with him. Many times was Ma Long out in the forest!

Darko Jorgic has had a poor psychological state, he got angry when they reached 9-9

Damn, that 2nd set, after that it was game over. If Darko would've led 2:0, who knows?

@@eddielong608 I don't know man, Darko obliterated Ma Long in the first two sets. I almost felt sorry for Ma Long because he seemed helpless and Darko was way too overpowering. Most people would've been crushed in that 2nd game and after that the 3rd game is definitely game over. And yet, Ma Long endured and persevered in that 2nd game, that is some miraculous shit if you ask me. But maybe not because he changed his serves and tactics and has mental strength above all else combined with loads of experience. After that the dragon is woken and it's game over for Jorgic. There's no coming back. I almost felt sorry for Darko starting with the 3rd set. Why couldn't he just close the deal in the 2nd set when he was way ahead? That question tormented and haunted him for sure. Very painful and frustrating match anyway

Ma is amazing

dragon lose game 1 only because not that familiar with DJ in the beginning

It's not a Darko's style. They are just small, petty tricks to get some points.

I’d second this. Where is Darko’s powerful backhand? So much use of unnecessary and weak “strawberries”.

MA Long

Ma long ITS oke

Malong is still overwhelmingly strong. Only the same Chinese player can beat him, and players from other countries have no chance And when he retires, the next Chinese player will be ranked No. 1 in the world again. This trend has been going on for more than 10 years now, and it will not change in the future

That's because table tennis is the national sport in China. Can you imagine US losing basketball to other countries? But I think there is still a chance for other countries to beat China, but maybe only a few times, and the occasional gold medal. China sees this sport as an act of pride and we have paid a lot.

his role now is to show a good fighting model for his team young player and to ensure stability during team event , since the other two players are really inconsistent. Personal event is just for him to familiar with ourside players and keeping the fighting momentum… no other old player can do this accept him at the moment in China team..
