China Open 2019

What was that point! Yu Ziyang saves the netball, does a roller, Timo then saves the roller himself and wins.

Timo Boll - Yu Ziyang 4-3
Craaazy match. Back and forth.
Boll's experience (and a a good portion of luck in a couple of points) wins against lack of mental maturity on YZ's part

Honestly thought Boll would surely lose at the start because he seemed much slower on his feet I thought. Maybe injured? Anyone know anything about that?

Timo's luck was just on another level the last set..

Yea, I lost count how many times he apologized in those last two games. He did run off 10 points in a row, though.

 

[lVegita]

Oh well.

Who doesn't like DoubleFish tables? Upsets after upsets.

Boll sure looked slow at the beginning, like playing through molasses. Had a few flashes at the start of game 6 where he looked good. Then Yu choked bit at the end of game 6, and then got really unlucky in game 7.

Calling it now, Pitch gonna destroy Tomo.

LGY - Dima 4-3
Dima losing 15-17 in the 7th after having had 5 match points.

That's rough, buddy.

Good on LGY for showing that he can win against his nerves.

 

[Atas Newton]

Dima does a Lin Gaoyuan and loses from 10-5 in the decider... to Lin Gaoyuan! Lin gave away a million points to Dima's serves, still not enough.

Boll to YZY: Too young.

OTOH, Ovtcharov sux.

 

[Danny21312]

Goddammit Dima you ****ing choker

 

[RidTheKid]

Has LGY finally exorcised his demons?

 

[dchow1992]

I don't feel sorry for him, his tomahawk serve is illegal and in the 4th game 10-9 he serves and doesn't move his arm away after his timeout

Dimitrij not like this :| To win this tournament, Timo Boll will probably have to beat 4 chinese in a row.

A wild Koki Niwa interview appears!
A rare PokeMan to catch in front of the camera



(At least I think so. Maybe I just never came across other interviews of him)

 

[v100ev]

Dima... well... I don't like him but I would prefer him win the match rather than lose against a Chinese having 5(or more) match points.. Now it'll be Lin vs Liang - not so interesting for me. But good for the spectators in Shenzen.

It's rare to see him in an interview with Chinese media. He doesn't talk much even with Japanese media.

 

[FastMisha]

If Xu Xin beats Mizutani he will play against Timo Boll, I was waiting for this match for years, so excited

 

[Garrison]

Boll potentially has to play 3 matches tomorrow... Get the Sauerstoffzelt ready!
