Kim Song I performance on Rio 2016 was very impressed. Unfortunately she is from Northern Korea, so we can not see her too quickly again.

My favourite defender. I’ve seen him play aggressively with long pips as well. Watch the match against Liam Pitchford for example.

Going back a bit, nobody's mentioned Chen Xinhua, maybe the most entertaining player of all time- fantastic chopper and acrobat.

For sheer athleticism, I don't think you can go past Liu Fei. In 2015, she was ranked 23 in the world, and that's probably a pretty accurate assessment of her ability.

Speaking of defenders, anyone knows about a game between two defenders? I wonder how that turns out.

I've got two words for you. "Expedite System" (https://www.ittf.com/handbook/, 2.15).

There's a German defender with his own channel showing some great play, not top ten level of course, but nice to watch I think: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxnNYhJbbvI&t=474s

This is much less boring: two of the World's greatest defenders (Koji Matsushita - on the right - and Li Gun Sang) at the '89 Worlds on an old Reflexsport video. As the announcer on the original video said ' when two defenders meet, someone has to take the initiative'.

Or some times no one does and you get the push rallies... not as exciting to watch, but still very technical and deceiving. Varying spin and placement is an art of its own!

Great match though! Both of those guys had terrific forehands

Manika Batra is not a defender, but a blocker and counterattack player.
