I never get tired of watching that last point, how cleverly he dominates the pace of the game with blocks

Both Koki Niwa and Xu Xin play like an artist, painting the table with magical stroke.

yes, they are honestly very similar in creativity. Both are gifted with incredible skill, so much that they would rather win while having fun rather than really retraining all their strokes to be quote unquote "perfect". Koki plays a bit to passive and close to the table and Xu Xin often played too far from the table, giving up an offensive position. But they continued to win, so it didn't matter. Artists of the highest form, well said!

He is so annoying. Ruins so many games. Just shut up and let the point play out.

Niwa is truly a gifted table tennis player. He's an inspiration to me to develop a chop block in my game.

0:32 holy hell, man

The last point was Mental ... always love watching this Video

Niwa's chop block at 2:40 really puts Xiu Xin in a junk world moment.

I've always loved the way he played, looks like minimal effort but has unreal control

What a superb talent , Koki is fast as a cat and surely a hard worker to achieve this walk in the park invincibility.

the most creative, fun, unorthodox, versatile , crafty and monster trickster in the history of table tennis. he is a zombie tho.

that's it i am a koki niwa fan from now own

He is most underrated player 😅, love from India Koki

Craziest skill!!!!! Bravo Koki Niwa!

The force is strong with this one. Koki Niwa lives his life in bullet time.

poor Fang Bo, he's remembered as the victim of the most brutal chop block on internet

Love him, the same as his coach smirking on his brilliant points

I love the first clip,the opponent is like "watch here all my fancy move,i'm going to trick you" and Niwa is like "please fuck off"🤣

for those telling him he don't win matches and all. first of all, ask yourself how hard is it to win in your local club, then premium clubs, then district levels, then state level, then regional level and then NATIONAL LEVEL ( in your country). then contenders, ittf opens and the list is quite long. lastly it comes to WTTC, MENS WORLD CUP AND ULTIMATELY OLYMPICS. and koki niwa is top 20 among millions and millions of table tennis players. beat that !

Just love koki niwa I hope he goes all the way in the Olympics.

epic level trolling

4:22 win a point against xu xin in such situation is absolutely brilliant

4:00 holyy look at the spin and curve on that inside out forehand

I love chop blocks because it's a defensive-offensive way to get back/stay into the game rather than go full defense. Niwa's self control with his agility in tracking the ball is outer of my world lol

I feel bad for Fang Bo... watched him lose this point like 100 times.

I think Xu Xin and Koki are the most entertaining table tennis players to watch

This guy is a genius

Awesome compilation

He has the same disinterested demeanor of Saitama also haha

Once a week, our neighbor drives 2 hours, each way, to Boston, to give his twin boys some ping pong coaching. He moved to the US, about 10 years ago. Gonna ask him, if he knows of Koki Niwa, when he stops by to chat. The 'chop block' is an extraordinary skill. It's kinda like a 'volley' in tennis, in that there is virtually no swing. It works well on shots with pace AND no pace. AND on tricky serves. Niwa is incredible.

@bryanwells4063

there is defninitely a swing, but it is all in the wrist on the backhand. You really need to chop down on the ball with a ton of racket speed to reverse all the topspin and speed coming into the ball.

Legend 🔥

Insane

Super!

Niwa is amazing

What a legend. Too bad he's not with us anymore...

Koki. The best...

Niwa is so pretty cool 🤩

Yellow guys are the best. What a great name KOKI NIWA ???😵🤣

J 'adore ce que fait Koki Niva ❤🤣😅😆👍👍👍

The chop block is so fluid it’s hard to tell where it happens.

he has very good hand feel, and a solid understanding and read on ball spins, which basically means he plays table tennis with brain more so than others. But he lacks the physical ability to match other opponents in a rally, and his short arm span means he doesnt have great defense coverage away from the table. Much like Xu Xin who is held back by injury, he is a very talented and entertaining player. But these players are simply not favored by the table tennis meta

KILLER

The last one was the best.

Save the best for last, I watch the whole video just to find that rally :)))

Koki niwa unique people

-2:05 wow . What can u do against that kind of talent

What is that chop block thing? Is that like initiating a spin to the outside of the table or what?

Yes

why is this sped up

Why do I feel Koki Niwa rely on too much his instinct more than effort? Obviously he has some unique ability to get to his level. But he gives me impression that he stands too straight up and moves his feet less than necessary to make it easier to play sometimes? His lack of muscle probably contributes to his stance, making him not able to move laterally fast enough to get best positions to play some shots..
