Sometimes he's a bit too passive it seems. Like in a push rally where he could attack, then pushes one more and the opponent takes the initiative and he blocks it out... Happened a few times. Plastic ball needs more aggressiveness.

I think it is game plan related for the specific opponent - lots of short balls, mostly to the forehand side. I think they have realized that these kids are too fast for Zhang Jike if they have too many angles into his forehand so they want to reduce that by keeping it on Zhang Jike's backhand diagonal and it works better here because LYJ is an inexperienced lefty.

ZJK pinned LYJ down to the BH with those down-the-line long serves throughout the entire match. LYJ led in the 1st game 7-5 serving and dropped the next 4. That hurt. He then tried to speed up by staying close to the table in the 2nd game but didn't work out. By the 3rd game, it was obvious he had trouble with ZJK's pendulum serve and couldn't handle the spin from his BH loops. The longer the point, the worse it got.

Is this how it felt during the Victorian era?
