The emotions on Ma longs face after he beats fan after a very long time. Truly special. Hope he can be at the same level for next year's Olympics.
Возможно это его лебединая песня
Well, the old man is still good and pushes himself to another level. But age is something Ma Long is trying to defeat too. At his age, he can become old overnight. Even though he won this match but don't be surprised if he loses bad in the future.
@@benthekeeshond545 Ma Long will put the last big effort at the Paris Olympics
@@rogernguyen1273
Let's hope that will be true. Even if Ma Long retired 4 years ago, he was well established as the GOAT of the 40mm/11-points era. If he is to win another Olympic Gold, there wll be no words to define this man. We have to understand that the Olympics are 4 years apart.
@@benthekeeshond545rn 2024 paris olympics is less than a year away. And this was a big win for ML.
Always love to see Ma Long celebrate with so much passion, especially seeing him endure all the doubts.
Ma Long is a now a 5-times Asian Champion, the most of any player in history. Before this, he was tied with Xu Xin at 4 times each.
No! He is tied with Xu Xin in Asian Cup with 4.. in Asian Championships he was tied with an old player of 60s, 70s with 3.. now he is the record holder with 4.
@@lucaslima4218, exactly.
Thanks for the spoiler dude, i was really exited….
Thats why you watch the video first and read the comments afterwards 😂
@@pupkin2006But this comment shows up in that small window right below the video
This is the first event Ma Long has won since winning the Olympics on July 2021.
And it is a big event, rather than many worldwide tours that is nice but not as big as maybe a continent championship for example.
looking forward to see Ma Long in Paris 2024. It will be amazing.
He will become again Tokyo Olympics Ma Long
Ok! Amazing for Ma Long. Nightmare for other TT players. Especially Fan Zhendong.
Question is if he will play teams and singles event or only the team event
He is the GOAT now, but if he won that Olympics for third time let's say in singles and doubles i think even the GOAT is small title for him, we already called him a Legend and Dragon and Dictator, what else we should call him if he succeeded in next Olympics?!!! The Domterminator maybe or DragoDictMinator ..... LOL
@@TareqAstroPhotondemigod
So happy to see him win a final again
So happy to see Ma Long play with so much passion in his game. You can tell by his Chos how thirsty he is to become nr 1 again. I hope this serves well to Fan's motivation and will give us many more beautiful matches in the future

Безумно нравиться его игра,надеюсь он будет играть в Париже и всех там порвёт)))
Ma Long, I just love this gentleman. Because of him, I started watching table tennis. He has been playing phenomenally for the last few years, and he still is. I remember the last Olympics; I was watching to support Dimitrij. He was competing with Ma Long, and guess what? Ma Long won my heart again.
The result of this game is a powerful argument that Ma Long probably would have won his fourth world title had he played in 2021 at the Houston WTTC. Ma Long has beaten FZD in the majority of the finals of major tournaments, including the WTTCs and Olympics. Ma Long is very special in that he tends to elevate his level of play into another dimension for the most important games and this was no exception.
That is a powerful argument but ma faced Fan two times prior to this and beat him pretty bad especially that week where he was on the top of his game! And let's not forget unless they decide to let him through just because he can make history Wang Chunqin is still a big threat also.
@@reinaldopessoa2603 Only Ma Long and Fan Zhendong for Paris Olympics unless injuries
Any real TT fan knows what Ma Long has done for TT and that is enough. Another world championship doesn't matter.
@@rogernguyen1273Wouldn't it have been so much better for both Europe and China that Asia has less spots in basketball where no team will do anything significant and more slots in table tennis. I get really irritated whenever I think of these idiotic slot distributions for the Olympics
@@nnnp634Nelze, protože pak by první tři byli zase Číňané, a to je politicky nežádoucí🤷
One can tell Ma was in better shape than Fan in this game. Ma was also well prepared and won the battle of first three shots.
Fan, on the other hand, missed all his signature backhand down the line shots that usually gives Ma so much trouble. Maybe Ma was extra motivated to show the Chinese coaches that at 34, he is still the formidable player he used to be, and still is one of top 2 candidates in the coming Paris Olympics.
Ma Long serves confused Fan Zhendong. During rallies, Ma produced slower but spinny shots. The next time they play again, Fan Zhendong will be ready for this tactic.
@@benthekeeshond545 They probably know each other's game better than anyone else in the world. It may be just down to who is more motivated and focused.
@@dept9203
Mr. Ma must be serving with a twist that Fan has never seen before. Clearly, Ma brushed more than impacting the ball to create spin rather than faster speed during rallies. This match was different from other matches they competed in before.
Fan missed a lot of his backhands but it is not that Fan was no good, it was Ma's varying tactics that caused Fan's eventual defeat in this match.
Man it’s going to be difficult choosing who will compete in paris
Indeed.
Ma Long's fans happy day
Traditionally, Ma Long was thought to be a forehand dominant player, while Fan Zhendong was dominant on both sides. This was not the case here. Ma Long was dominant on both sides, while Fan Zhendong mostly relied on backhand!
Ma's strong third ball attack didn't allow many top spin rallies for Fan to do forehand attacks..
No spectators. Liu Guolang, the chinese table tennis legend as player and coach, once said that he concerns about the popularity of table tennis more than the result of matches. Heavyweight balls are luring stupid stuff in table tennis. They make table tennis become bored with very few touches in every balls series, and with more offgame time, less long rallies, less visual athletic skills shows. The less touches in every ball series, the less ongame time, the more offgame time, and players lose more their time for offgame time to go to pick up balls.
HEAVYWEIGHT BALLS MAKE TABLE TENNIS MANUFACTURER AND PROFESSIONAL PLAYERS TO BE POORER AND POORER, because heavyweight balls make table tennis extremely difficult to play amateur social games for new beginners. Thus majority of new beginners leave away from table tennis, and there be very few new beginners still keep playing table tennis (extremely difficult to play game for beginners).
It requires few weeks of training for new beginners to reach minimal amateur levels to play amateur social games in other sport, for example in badminton, billards, .. . BUT IT REQUIRES FEW YEARS OF TRAINING FOR NEW BEGINNERS TO REACH MINIMAL AMATEUR LEVEL TO PLAY AMATEUR SOCIAL TABLE TENNIS GAMES. It is very stupid big time training requirement for beginners in table tennis, thus majority of new beinners just leave table tennis. I personally see much many real life cases today : private commercial table tennis club halls are revamped to become badminton club halls, because table tennis is extreme difficult to attract enough number of new beginners to get profit for running commercial table tennis clubs as commercial social sport services. If the commercial private table tennis halls have high ceils, then their owners often cancel table tennis club services to convert halls into commercial badminton club or other sport services halls to get profit, because there are very few new amateur table tennis players.
The reason of stiff difficulty of table tennis for new beginners : heavyweight balls make table tennis to be extremely difficult for new beginners : they fly extremely lightening fast in air, and they are difficult to control for beginners. Lightweight balls make table tennis become extreme easier for new beginners : they fly slower in air, they are easier to control for beginners. With lightweight balls, every ball series will have more touches in average. Thus table tennis matches will have more ongame time and less offgame times, thus players have more ongame time. It is valuable ! Because amateur players pay their time to play table tennis matches for health and social fun/communication, thus the more offgame time, the more waste time for players !
Everyone can try lightweight balls, for example 2gr balls, to feel how extremely more easily to play table tennis for new beginners.
The next balls of table tennis must be lightweight balls, for example, 2-2.5gr balls instead of the current 2.7gr balls.
The result of lightweight balls will be staggering : there will be more billion new beginners come and keep playing table tennis with new lightweight balls of 2gr, because lightweight balls do not require stupid enormous few years of training to reach minimal amateur level to play amateur social table tennis game, but require only few weeks of training enough to play amateur social table tennis games. Of course, it leads to increadible big scale business of table tennis equipment manufacturers, it leads to increadible big number of table tennis audience of professional tournaments . Because new billion beginners will play and keep playing the easier version of table tennis with lightweight balls 2-2.5gram, but not the current stupid extreme difficult version of table tennis with heavyweight balls 2.7gram, thus they known playing table tennis as amateur players and once they known playing then they will have interest to watch table tennis tournaments. They will be billion one, once lightweight balls 2-2.5gram are applied in table tennis.
read a book man@@abstractexchange5057
@@abstractexchange5057 When during my tennis career there was a change in the size of the balls and a change in material. I'm actually a little happier. Because a light ball in tennis, where even the best blades do not have the same level of rebound over the entire surface, is very sporadic. Yes, this is incomprehensible for a beginner. But for a player who can control the ball, the increased weight gives the opportunity for a better feel of the ball, better control. Moreover, changing the ball material from cellulose to plastic reduced its rotation, and the increase in size compensated for the lack of rotation due to speed.
But perhaps the balance has been upset regarding the size of the table, rubbers, rotations... Players began to try to twist the ball, which is already beyond the scope of the classical technique. They also stopped playing the ball near the net. Maybe this is bad, maybe not.
The King is Back
The Capitain the Dragon The dictator ❤
the best player in all history
Every time when Ma Long lost to other Chinese players, there are a lot of comments saying that he is old and he's gonna retire and give more opportunities to new generation etc etc. But you know what? He's still one of the best not only now but in the foreseeable future!
only wang chu qin beat him
Losing to chinese isn't bad. Losing to a foreigner is a career and Chinese threat.
Ma Long is showing that very well the last year. He rarely loses to a foreigner which makes him a strong contender.
But for the future of China, Wang Chuqin is better choice, but I prefer Ma Long. He made too much. I want FZD get a medal he deserve!
@@meetuptoyosu4945 I think the only important thing for chinese coaches for olympic singles decision is who is the most reliable player against foreigners. And no doubt it is Ma Long. He won against all strong foreigners. For example, Wang Chuqin could meet Felix Lebrun who is in an outstanding form and a Penholder, which Wang hasnt the biggest experience against, he could loose badly especially with the big Crowd support Felix will have. But still Ma has all he needs to defeat all foreigners and get the chance to be a 3 time Gold Medalist in Singles !
Amazing players!!!
12:41 Fan Zhendong fans with their sad faces.
Ma Long era still does not last to end.
I'm speechless, this is impossible! (at 34)
I guess old Ma is really fighting for that Olympics spot now.
It's not impossible stupid Chinese! The players have better conditioning now than ever before and can play to almost 40
35 actually
@@HJ-kp6cf Only by Korean reckoning lol!
Look at Djokovic at bigger tennis ;)
@@HJ-kp6cf He is 34
This man is the greatest player of all time.
Do you have anyone else better or more deserve? Or what i want to say is, do you have any doubt about that? He is the G.O.A.T.
@TareqAstroPhoton
No, he is without any doubt the best player who has ever lived! Look at his resume and tell me who compares ?
@@bignasty3274 I tried, couldn't find anyone, Ma Long is alone in his own side, now we can compare anyone to him not the opposite.
@TareqAstroPhoton
There have been and are some fantastic players, but when you look at accomplishments, no other players come close. He may not be the world number 1 anymore, but he is still playing at a high level. Fan is NO1, and he deserves to be there as he is another fantastic player,but nobody has won more or has been so dominant in his time as Ma Long.
@@bignasty3274 For me Ma Long is No.1 as record and achievements, this is enough for him to speak, and i know that Fan Zhendong is also a great player, he might come close to Ma Long later if he keep playing longer, FZD won 2 WTTC and not sure how many World cup and Asian games, he just need to win the Gold, i don't know if he can compete for two more Olympics later, but if he can win two gold medals in singles then he will be the closest player to Ma Long, so Ma Long remain the GOAT for now, for years i watched him winning title after title even over FZD himself, so he deserves the No1 record and FZD No1 record, he is winning a lot recent years.
never seen ma long happier for a win so happy for him!!
Great result for the most complete player in the game!
No matter his world ranking or age, he will remain a masterclass, propably the best pro player for beginners to learn from. Not only is he deliberate, he is getting more deliberate out of necessity; if you are an amateur player and you can't resist rushing, then watch this man play, rush less, plan more, push yourself towards perfect execution.
Undoubtedly GOAT, unfortunately missed 2021 WTTC Houston😢
Maybe Liuguoliang let Fan win the 2021 Houston intentionally
@@samuelqianjiang6166 And i wanted it to be like that too, Ma Long doesn't need to prove anything to win more WTTC anyway, and good to see that Fan got his opportunity as well, preparing another legend, so China has dominating with more than just one player, i think Fan could or would win the next Olympics gold, this way we know that China has so many players who win WTTC and Gold and World Cup and many tournaments, not sure i will be alive long to see another new GOAT after Ma Long.
This old Dragon is not going away.
Congrats to Ma Long!
Impressive!
Love to watch Ma Long playing and big congrats to his BIG win.
Klasse Ma Long ! ! ! Endlich bist du nach deiner langen Verletzungspause wieder auf höchstem Viveau ❗❗❗
Class Ma Long!!!! Finally, after your long injury break, you're back on top of your game ❗❗❗
The GOAT is still here !
At 12:01, Ma Long made it seem like he was doing a backspin push, then switched to backhand flick.
It's called a pancake flick; a Ma Long signature
*Pancake Flip
Sometimes it is viewed as an outdated technique, but it's so nice to see Ma Long showing how powerful it can be as a surprise weapon.
He did this also against gionis in wttc 2015
Now Ma long find the way to beat fan zhen dong...GOAT
He seems to use his forehand more frequently. Not as often as when he was younger. I guess his footwork is not there anymore. But he sneaked in many forehand shots by stepping to his left. A good strategy against Fan Zhendong.
This is a game he is allowed to use full strength and not conceding to the young players including Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin on purpose.
Congrats Ma Long for being the oldest Chinese player in history to win a major international title and winning your first title since Olympics 2021.
The GOAT is still the best
The king is back!
the captain, the dragon, the dictator
馬龍選手おめでとうございます🏅
いつまでたっても、
あなたには1番が似合います🥇
Congratulation Ma long 👍
despite his physical decline, ML still find ways to clench this title. Had this been 3~4 years back ML won't be at such a disadvantage in rally. Back in the days we used to see ML dominate any rally. All of his opponent have little to no method in beating ML because he is simply better than his opponent in everything.
I'm telling you right now, this is the beginning of the gold medal win at the 2024 Olympics. ML has stood in the shadows to let the younger players through lately and now it's his time to go out like a Golden Dragon.
Ma long is lengendary🎉🎉
Well done Ma Long. I thought I was too old and wouldn't win a single major tournament. But there are still forces
Congratulations Ma long!!
Finally you beat again Fan zhendong in the Finals!!
Didn't expect ML to win! Amazing!
when Ma Long want absolutly to win he will win
Ma Long is back at his BEST....!!!!!
Anyone know if this qualifies Ma Long for the Olympics?
Ma Long .... Great Champion .... For ever 💙💫
Malong vẫn rất bền bỉ và quyết tâm. Nhìn ánh mắt của cậu ấy thực sự đáng nể❤
Thank god I can see an amazing game with a decent camera angle!
True
The backhand has been the weakness but he tried to block fanzhendong backhand side spin which deny fanzhendong quick forehand finish. Congratulations ma long
The Captain, The Dragon, The Dictator!!
Hands down for the goat! Never giving up!
Фану, нужно что-то делать. Он летит в серии с Ма. И его чемпионства мира выглядят, как невероятная удача!
If Ma keeps this level, he can perfectly go to Paris 2024 and WTTC 2025!!
Go to?
He has been ranked world number three for some time. He had the level already before this tournament.
@@carlpeterkirkebo2036 I mean, competing in men singles
Given Ma Long's age he would have to simply win any tournament he plays in to prove his worth. CNT would take any chance to replace him with younger talent, and logically so
It depends on Wang Chu yin' performance!
ma long..still going strong
great to see MaLong winning again from FZD. Unthinkable the amount of hardwork he would have put it to pull this off
The greatest sportsman!
Bravooo
Congratulations all time hero!❤🎉
Great this vid is some seconds longer than most versions of it !!!!
I am almost in tears seeing ma long win anothe championship
A very big win for Ma Long.
11:59 What?!
Great play from Ma Long !!! 👍
Still the dominator !
Ma had some troubles dealing with Fan's backhand in the first two games, but he quickly adjusted. He got to play his trademark game of third ball attacks. So nice to see him with such a strong game at 34!
And to be 35 next month. ❤
Ma is a plexible player
I would really like to hear from those fellows who claimed that Ma Long is no longer a force to be recogned with or Ma Long should retire and make room for younger players or Ma Long is used by date/expired.
I would also like to hear from those fellows who claimed that Ma Long can never beat Fan and Wang anymore.
By the way, I am a fan of Fan ZD, but I cannot write off Ma Long.
I rest my case.
There is a match fixing comment right after yours. There is really no use arguing with those people.
@@luisanthonychau As expected, people always say that when they found their shoe in their mouth and they don't have the last laugh. Hahaha
Hello guys, what a palette do you recommend? I'm from CHILE, I'm learning table tennis, what do you recommend? I was thinking about a 7 star loki, what do you think? is it good or not?
Can you post the full replay?
where can i watch the full match?
The King is back!
WHO SAID MA LONG IS WASHED!!! Ma Long really showed the doubters who the goat of table tennis is with this game; beating the current world no.1 and securing himself a spot in the 2024 olympics.
This is qualifications for Paris??
@@arlentan kinda, i believe the chinese national team use it as a sort of qualifier to see who their top competitors are. So it's kinda like a mock competition to determine their lineup
@@raikiro797The Chinese national team may not allow Ma Long to participate in the men's singles at the Paris Olympics because there are only two places available and the positions will be given to young players. Only in this way will there be opportunities for young players to develop. Ma Long may gradually withdraw from international competitions. This is a characteristic of the Chinese national team. Strength does not completely determine the chance of participation.
That's why MaLong is called G.O.A.T
The king is back!!!!
Ma long ❤🎉
I think Ma long was sending serves hard to straight banana, his forehand side. Here Fan Zhendong was sending his cannons to his back hand all the time. Ma Long either spin it or just move to hit with the forehand. Ma Long wasn't looking for back to back fight nor rallies. Just go for the kill with the forehand, his signature move.
I don't remember Fan Zhengdong didn't have chance to play forehand at all. Ma Long is flexing his forehand power. lol
Congratulations, Ma Long 🎉❤
The legend did it again.
Так рад за него. Давно он не мог победить его ))) моё почтение легенде
Ma is Ma !!!! Love you to the core.
Muy buenos los dos

The GOAT is back with vengeance..
Fan vs Long ‘s heading to Paris
Ma Long knew he couldn't push Fan Zedong on the forehand otherwise he would get beat so 90% of this match was all backhand table this was like a mind game great win Ma Long is the one of the best of all times !!
马龙 table tennis GOAT 🇨🇳
Appreciate Fan Zhendong 👏🏻
Ma Long with the bit between his teeth here, building-up to the Paris Olympics? Winning this title clearly meant a lot to him.
Ma Long best of best. Yan Uve Valdner best too🔥🔥🔥
Ma Long is back baby
Fan didn’t step around first to use the forehand first. Instead, he stayed with his backhand. Can’t let an in-form Ma do that, his forehand is peerless and will score.
Imagine if he goes to represent China at the Men’s Singles Olympics and wins it. Potential Historical THREE-peat!!!
Até que enfim o ma longe ganhou uma do Fan
This is the best camera angle
