A confident Xu Xin is a very dangerous player. Props to Kenta for always being polite and cordial whether in victory or defeat though, a true sportsman
Thomas T though the same; Matsudaira is a gentlemam
Yes, really good manner from matsudaira
oh come on when he losted can tell he was getting depressed
@@gonewiththedrugs thats totally fine. However he still gave a good handshake a nod with the head and eye contact at the end. Some players cant even manage to be that respectful when they won...
Kenta is a real gentleman. Many times when he won a point not by net or edge, he still apologized gently to his opponent.
i love seeing kenta playing confidently after a long time hope he continues after this
Congratulations to Xu Xin! Match after match he put up one show after another. Just entertaining to watch the Showman!
Thx for the spoiler👍
Mikeyboi699 Spoiler? Are you sick? This is not a movie! And what kind of dumb comes to the comments before watching the video?? Kkkkkkkk
It's quite hard to do dat when you open the video on ur iPad and the comments automatically come up
Mikeyboi699 OK, but so what? What's the problem of knowing who won the match? By the way, if you want to see it NOT KNOWING the final result, try watching it live at ittf.com.
Well Mefisto Agreed. Not a spoiler, comment section is fair game.
Great final match. Both are true artists at the sport
Man I just luv this commentator. XX born to play TT, the commentator is born to commentate XX's exquisite game plays.
Table tennis needs Xu Xin, the last great penholder.
What an artistic performance by both the players...!!! So many creative shots and the overpowering Xu-Xin in the last set is just so tough to face for any one in the TT world. Congratulations to Xu-Xin!
Xuxin’s style is really tough for non Chinese player. His rhythm is completely different than the rest of the world
8:27 xu xin tasting his own medicine
Best part of the match.
@@decadence8473 Yeah, but what happened next? Xu Xin went on to win this so far even game handily and started the next game 8-0. When someone steals Xu Xin's thunder, he wipes them out. Ask Lin YJ who surprised XX with a deep fast straight line serve which impressed the hell out of everybody but provoked Xu Xin to go on to win the next 4 points and the deuce from a 3 point deficit, and then the whole match. Winning the applause against Xu Xin is disrespecting and waking up the sleeping tiger. Unless you're Ma Long, then you would win Xu Xin's applause too.
@@syzygy6769 I am not downplaying Xu Xin's excellence, but matches are especially great when bright and unexpected moments happen, and 8:27 to me is the brightest piece of this game.
@@decadence8473 I am not debating the brilliance of this move. I was only pointing out my observation about Xu Xin in cases of his opponents' spectacular and memorable moves. Such moves are exciting and extremely impressive and very few will notice and remember their costs when Xu Xin is provoked. But they are certainly worth the losses of the matches as they become highlights of careers and table tennis history.
xu xin won the match, kenta won hearts...
why?
@@nathan7906 see the match and decide yourself...
That's the game I hope for. Speed, power, tactics...and most of all is artistic!! Congrats booth of you
Xu Xin will never be repeated in the history of table tennis. He is way above everyone else in techniques...
Two celluloid top players have become the best again. Just unbelievable.
Xu Xin returns to world number one. Table tennis world needs him. His playing style is so sexy. I am so surprising because of his modern backhand performance in this match. May be, it is one of the first matchs, in which he really uses something, which is worthly called STABLE modern penholder backhand techniques, in rallies, even in rallies far from the table. His very noticeable improvement of backhand from his previous final match vs Liu Dingshuo in Australian Open 2018.
Kenta played really well. Hope to see him continuing like this.
恭喜許昕雙冠!好猛啊 連續摘兩次單打金牌!球路細膩又暴力
松平健太也很強 又有禮貌!👍👍👍
And suddenly XX reminded to the whole world what a hell of a player he is. Sooo many spectacular points from both players during the whole tournament, and especially in this match.
Xu Xin is full of confidence and practically on the clouds, to quote the commentator's words, in this tournament
Thank MALONG FANMADE CHANNEL for giving the world table tennis fans a great video. We always support you, love you so much
Thanks for sharing such high quality video within a span of time.
Matsudaira's slightly unconventional style made for a really fun match with Xu Xin! This was great to watch!
A lot of people know of Harimoto as *the* close-to-table attacker but for me Matsudaira has always been the original. Atleast when I started playing tt. Really happy with his performance in this tournament. XX too big though. Can’t stop the cloudwalker but it’s nice to see Matsudaira’s style up top
Mordecai Davidson Matsudaira indeed has a lot of kind of strokes. Almost complete. But, this time he tried to implemented Harimoto's style, strike the ball earlier, but a little bit to late.
matsudaira was more of the close to the table defender. He always had good touch close to the table, but it looks like he has gotten a lot more aggressive now and it's working well with him
Doesn’t matter who does it first... only matters who does it better
Both close to table, but different style. Matsudaira is more of a technician and overall more balanced, Harimoto tends to focus heavily on offense and out-slugging the opponent.
Matsudaira is more of a blocker.Sometimes he opts for a control shot even when it's not necessary which leads to errors.Harimoto just hits off the bounce.
what a match ! i love to watch two guy's playing.
8:26 I replay that ralley like 10 times and I still dont believe that happenned.
yeah, it was out of this world.
You should watch 2009 WTTC Ma Lin vs. Kenta Matsudaira. The rallies there were insane!
If only the commentator was a bit less hysterical and it would be great to replay it!!!
DimaKats2
Absolutely disagree. His commentary is priceless.
couldn't agree more!!
best match in a long time!
This is amazing match. Congrat to both players !!
Double happiness?? haha
Loved it!!
Itube It's not his own invention, it's what is called when two "luckies" occur at the same time
Hahahaha, clever as ever
@@DimaKats2 I know bruh. It was just cute to drop it then. It's a famous brand too. They had this cheap ass rubber 'Friendship' back in the days too. At least that's my recollection.
Yeah cool =)
Long time no see Kenta Matsudaira. Your great game with MaLin just like happen yesterday
Very entertaining match, both of them really good
Hell! So much impressive points! Nice one, Xu Xin! You gets even younger with years!
Both players are not playing, but they are playing while dancing, wonderful game it is.
JiJUN Fang so they are playing aren’t they
As soon you have XX back from the table and running around you know you’re in trouble.

It's so refreshing to see XX change his mindset and play reasonably more aggressive. I said reasonably because he's done it with calculated risks. Remember those two crucial long serves into the backhand corner. He also uses his backhand more naturally. No more disappointed face when he misses a backhand counter, and no more unnecessary steparounds. This actually saves him energy for the big shots when the time comes. Then I know he's got great confidence. And that "Come on" outburst after tough points seems to relieve him as well. These two trophies will surely boost XX's confidence to compete for 2020, but a rivalry with ML and FZD would be the last test.
この試合はお互いに魅せるプレーがあってすごい面白い
One of my favorite matches
This is a total change of style on Kenta, I mean very nice job! I'm glad he is using all of his talent and touch on a more offensive style. He can improve even more!
He's back!!
Xu Xin and Kenta Matsudaira are now both back in great form,beautiful match between them
not only did they play the spectacular rally, but also they paid good respect to each other during the end of the game. kenta is really well mannered and carrying good sportmanship. congratulation to xx.
I love XX and is so happy to see him doing so well lately. It does sadden me to see how Kenta has fallen recently. I hope he is able to get back up again.
matsudaira @8:26 INSANE. best point all game, but truly pushed xu xin to do different things. wish it was closer, but what a game
happy to see kenta back to the final
Que buen partido, alucinante, realmente un espectáculo increíble, bien por Xu Xin que ha sabido obtener la victoria.
Happy for both to be honest.
Best finale for me as a fan of XX and KM.
Xu xin is amazing no doubt about it.. But he can learn about a little humility from kenta. The way he played in this game was phenomenal. Respect for kenta. Love u dude. What a player
Great Match!!
just right after 8:27 , I thought Xu Xin was saying to Kenta, "you have took my role of showing entertainment...”, and he revenged in 10:39 and 10:54 .😂
I said it long b4 Xu xin will win this opens and he will return to world #1 truly the best
充满神奇球的比赛!乒乓球太有魅力了
I'm not sure if it's because MLFMC made this video, but either way, thanks for this good quality ITTF, just need a little more of it. Maybe in the R32 or R16s and below.
After watching many of Xu Xin's final matches, it seems there is this downhill effect on many of his opponents that will do really great in the beginning but they either run out of steam or are overly frustrated because they are playing out of their comfort zone, plus they are insanely tired physically and mentally.
Yeah, true that
Best example: 2020 German Open vs Ma Long! 1st set very close, Xu Xin Wins it with a behind the back shot, - by the fourth set it seems like Ma Long isn’t even trying anymore. Xu Xin is an incredible player. as creative as Koki Niwa but with Fan Zhendongs Power and Ma Longs Consistency. So much fun to watch! Hope he will inspire more young players to pick up Penhold again :)
Although i am a XX fan but Matsudeira is a great player and have great manners at the table. Deserve my respect.
Congrats to both of them...both of them showed us some great performance
really fun to watch
Nice variety of camera angles
Это можно пересматривать по несколько раз. Здорово.
this match is closer than i expect it to be.
Great match!
it was a very satisfactory match to watch. Matsudaira had several spectacular points, Xu Xin is great as always. I was hoping Matsudaira would win, but he turned out to slightly lack stability when put against such a skilled rival as Xu.
恭喜昕爷双冠
8:26
ヤバい(語彙力

、ポインコ
ワンチャンありますね
。松平健太
生放送の時は衝撃的すぎて声だして笑いましたw
、ポインコ 2017年の年間1位が丹羽のあのプレーだったのでこれはありえますね!
今年は世界卓球の時の許昕のスーパープレーが年間1位とると思う
Xu Xin is a fantastic player, every time i see him playing a say it. Wow
Uno de los mejores juegos que vi
The lack of slow-motion replays is kind of painful :-(
Luca Matteis LOL this is CZcams with a double click you can just go back 10 seconds and if you care you can change the playing speed.... I’m happy to be able to chose what I watch in slow motion and what not.
My top 2 favorite players clashing. Amazing match.
Matsudaira is not that far off in terms of winning, but it's still not enough to beat Xuperman Xin. Too bad because I wanted Matsudaira to win, he deserves it 4 his ingenuity and skillful play style that exceeds even Koki Niwa :)
love the handshake!
Amazon plays, from both players!
matsudaira is one of my favourites, i wish he could show some dominance over players, he plays marvellous, but is always catching upto his opponent and never the other way round. so it already limits his chances of winning. the chinese have always some tricks up their sleeves which they show in decider final/decider sets.
Asian Games gonna be good. Looking forward to Matsudaira vs FZD
Or LGY
I only buy the Singles Final ticket. I don't know whether Matsudaira could survive until SF or not but I really hope for him to at least enter SF. I mean it will be pretty boring to see FZD or LGY at the top even though I know they will.
If LGY has Lee Sangsu in his draw then he might not make it to the final against FZD since LGY has a losing record against Lee.
Daniel H ok lin just destroyed lee sang su in asian games
LoL 😂 he lost to both Indian players
Epic fight!
Kenta is such a humble player
This side view camera is awesome ittf official keep this type of view for match
I love both.....xu xin and kenta really ertertainer players
Kenta just amazinggggg ❤️
マツケンの課題は終盤の集中力な気がする
プレーはむっちゃレベルアップしてるから、さらにかっこよくなった
頑張れー!
2 of my fav in their prime (2nd prime for kenta?)!!! Man missed them both. When Kenta just blocks every shot and when XX just cliud walks all around the table doing impossible shots... TT is just not the same without these 2😢.
Also 2018-2019 XX was just an absolute beast, its like as long as it gets to mid distance rally he almost always will win the point, only way to beat him is some flicks close to table...
would have loved to see the classic ma long vs xu xin matchup in this tournament. i think xu xin could really have chance against him right now
非常喜歡這名日本選手, 招式很多, 也是一名藝術家
Matsudaira played great 1st two games. He played nearly perfectly, caused Xu Xin many problems. He only faded in the last game when Xu Xin got much more confident after going up 3-1. And we know when Xu Xin feels confident, he can play another gear higher.
A provoked Xu Xin will destroy you mercilessly.
Service from Xu Xin was incredible.
Man vs man!!!
Xu xin is going to be the next world number 1. Amazing performance from him😊
Dez Jr. He was number 1 back then
Carl Johnson He's already world number 2 so i don't quite get the joke. 🙄
この実況好き
Kenta is the most amazing player
different level
Congratulations to Xu Xin for his great victory 👍
I was rooting for Kenta but both played amazing.
To call net and edge - Double happiness, what a great allusion!!
This is a standard Chinese moniker for net and edge.
There have been continuous efforts by Kenta. Had luck boy. No worries you have lost to the best man in this sport. Hats off to the Cloud Walker🤠
Xu Xin is just such a go player.
Mens singles quarter final in 2013!
8:27 unbelievable point
Great match. Exiting to watch this match. I think that it is advised at highest necessary that Xu Xin should be participated in prestigiousest world tournaments TO PROMOTE TABLE TENNIS AND PLEASURE WORLDWIDE AUDIENCE.
It is fantastic interesting to watch that players earn points after long rallies by forcing opponents to run around yards to lose positions.
It is boring if it is often third hitting finishing rallies.
久しぶりに強いマツケンが見れて大満足でした
それなあ
還以為可打到第6局;恭喜 許昕 重回巔峰。
Xuxin最近調子良くて最高
Both player did good match.
许昕最棒
