I wrote a new blog post on some changes Ovtcharov made to his game compared to his previous losses to Lin Yun-Ju: https://edgesandnets.com/2021/03/25/how-dimitrij-ovtcharov-solved-the-lin-yun-ju-problem-at-wtt-doha/

Unfortunately, the full match seems to have been taken down form Youtube, but if you remember the match being different from what I described, please feel free to let me know. If someone has a reliable method to watch recordings of Table 1 matches from WTT events, I think everyone would be happy to know.

Another factor is the Ovtcharov's form. He was in a fantastic form as pointed out by Rosskopf after winning the Contender. The problem is the Star Contender. The glaring hole in his game is exploited to death by Kallberg.

  德国队教练罗斯科夫认为,奥恰洛夫在整届赛事都表现非常好,连胜张本智和、法尔克、林昀儒,取得了宝贵的成功,强化了自己良好的心态。奥恰洛夫决赛的身体状态非常好,战术上也很聪明,他控制了林昀儒,对对方的球路非常清楚。他当之无愧地获得了第一个WTT的冠军,希望过几天奥恰洛夫在球星挑战赛上再接再厉。

The glaring hole that's been widely known in China since before 2008.

It's even mentioned in the Chinese version of Wikipedia.

但常依賴反手接球也造成其正手不強,奧恰洛說過自己小時候曾試著用反手接全台的球,後來才慢慢矯正過來。

I suppose that they probably say the same about Darko Jorgic.

When the Chinese version of Wikipedia implies that DO is not spectacular enough and only plays to win - this is like a bad joke. They put themselves in bad light.

Btw. Thanks to Chrome we can solve some of Zeio's riddles :)

They actually can't praise Jorgic's short game enough.

“这场球我觉得确实非常不容易,赛前就感觉和他打会有些别扭,这也是我们两个人第一次交手,”赛后接受采访时马龙对自己说。这位大满贯得主认为22岁的达科打球比较有特点,质量也非常高,“他的反手非常好,而且不光是近台,包括中远台和搓球的感觉都不错,”马龙表示斯洛文尼亚小将未来将是中国男乒的主要对手之一。

Dima can't do this.
