I voted for the doubles rally - great rally made greater by the complexities of team work.

But, for me, the standout match of the year was clearly Ma Long vs Tokic. Tokic left absolutely nothing in his bag; he threw everything possible at Ma and pushed him to places he never thought he'd have to go. In the add-ons there are a couple more clips from that same match, which suggests that overall its standard was amazingly high.

Someone, who is the guy playing against Mattenet in 06:00? Chuan-chih Yuan?

I am surprised that there are not more people blown away by Michael Maze's defensive skills in that rally. Some of the balls he gets and how he turns it from offense to defense is very cool in my opinion. I get people liking some of those loop to loop rallies but the Maze rally is special with some of the shots he makes in it.

I think it would more apply for 'shot of the year' instead of rally of the year. The 2 lobs are incredible, but for the rest the rally is fairly common stuff. But of course he finishes it off nicely :)

Yeah, you are probably right. But those two lobs are pretty wild. :)
