He wasn't doubted by many, he just choked and put too much pressure on himself. Trust me, very few people were given as many resources and opportunities to cope with their issues as Ma Long was, and you don't get those resources if people truly doubt you. If you watch any interview with any of the CNT, they always put Ma Long as being someone who just had to resolve his issues. What was unfortunate was that he and ZJK were not at their peaks at quite the same time.

Nah. The Japanese girls don't fold like that. IT will be a match till the end.

ZJK bowed out (or shall I say lost hunger from the game) too early. He had all the resources in the world to work around his injury issues if he wanted. Either way I wish he was still in 2011-2013 form now and we would have had some epic matches to talk about.

**** this shit. We need the video review put in place already. Table tennis will get looked down upon if this keeps on.

seriously, I don't get why so many sports are so hesitant to implement a simple video review?
This game was literally stolen from Ito/Hayata...
Lol, what?
Given what opportunities?
The best in the world doesn't need opportunities.
He was denied the Olympics in 2012 while being #1.
It's only normal that you are allowed to compete or whatever you are insinuating here by saying given opportunities..

It is hard to co-ordinate and takes time. Even in the NBA and NFL, it can add 2 minutes, sometimes more. And these are the two of richest sports in the world. I think a net sensor makes more sense for let calls, with a threshold and audible response that makes it clear to everyone.

The city of Las Vegas continues to block Ma Long from visiting, they don't want to go bankrupt.

Wth was that let call about? It went meters above the net cord. Anyway, the strawberries have done them more harm than good.

Badminton uses the hawk-eye system like Tennis. Volleyball uses a multi-camera system to review questionable shots/calls from different angles. This one could work for table tennis.

For ****'s sake, everytime it's 9-9 or 10-10 against a chinese player/s, the latter always comes out on top. I'm so sick and ****ing tired of seeing that. Hayata/Ito have just been a victim of this and now it costed them the match.

Maybe I should have rephrased my sentence. I don't get why so many sports refuse to use technology to make things fairer. It can't be that two players can simply call a netball in a crucial situation like this and get through with it even though the ball didn't touch the net.

I think anyone familiar with TT knows that this 2012 story is not as simplistic as you make out. Familiarize yourself with the details, and we can have an informed conversation. Maybe when you have, then it will be worth discussing. Because you seem to not even try to understand how the players deal with issues in the background.

Dishonest XX against FZD at the Asian Games 2014, dishonest LJK against Kenta Matsudaira at Qatar Open 2017, dishonest WMY/SYS against Ito/Hayata here...

2-0 lead for Japan, Xiao Zhan starts chewing gum, 2-4, rip. Happy for ShaSha and the girl from a poor family Wang Manyu. But very sad for Mima Ito and Hina Hayata. A disappointment of a WTTC for one and a mindboggling decision not to give a singles spot to another, winning this gold would've been sweet.

Looks like Ishikawa, Ito, Hayata. Japan will care about the doubles slot. But they have locked themselves into the top 2 ranked positions. Unless the WTTC points end up hurting Ito who went out earlier than the rest. That may get Hirano or Kato in.
