hahaha You are probably right there mate.

I think it's because of the crowd keep shouting everytime lee sang su won a point,that should affect his mental there

Matt Hetherington · May 19, 2012

Stoked! Go Lee Sang Su. Yea home crowd advantage, remember how well Kenta played when the WTTC were in Yokohama in 2009

My KFTTC mate Neil is on ground at Korea open and I called him during the match and crowd was real loud cheering Lee Sang Soo. Neil is lovin' the action and you cannot beat teh admission price to teh Korea Open venue in Bucheon : it is aboslutely FREE of cost!

dont know about home court advantage but IMHO he was... outplayed, lee sang su played very well

WiWa · May 19, 2012

Wow I never expected this :O Maybe Ma is a little down these months? Funny how he only loses to players that won't be at the Olympics

Well Koki probably in the teams.

Probably the case is the same like Ma Lin's loss against Liventsov.
It reveals his weakness big time as said in cmetsbeltran15's post..

I also agree with the home-away advantage stuff.
But once again its Ma Long's mental weakness I think

Way to go Lee! WOOOO!!

Wooov this is huuuuge surprise!!!
But.. I am sad and happy for this..
Sad, because I was thinking Ma Long will win this..
And happy that I didnt see it live, .. man, I would lose a little fortune on this match, lol

ttmedari · May 19, 2012

because Ma Long won't go to Olympics single.. and he very disappointed

Matt Hetherington · May 19, 2012

Sad that Sang Su just lost to Kazuhiro Chan, would have been nice to see him ride on his win over Ma and go a bit further

that is pretty sad, defeating the w#1 and lose to a player lower compared to ma long. Ma long is just having his bad day.

Wow!!! Free admission??!! Excellent promotion to the sport, not that Koreans need any more motivations to play their TT

..

Like I said when Koki beat Ma Long, other players will learn from that. I also mentioned that if Ma Long does not improve and identify his weaknesses soon, he will be in a whole lot of trouble at the Olympics. I find that he's worried about his BH so much that at times he leaves his FH open for attacks. More often than most, the opponents will initiate the attack and he will always end up defending.

scylla24 · May 20, 2012

Ma Long's serves and short game were just terrible in that game, simple as that. Normally his serves aren't that bad....
His short game has always been a major weakness, and Lee's backhand flips are better than most, so he was able to exploit that weakness more than most players are able to.

UpSideDownCarl · May 20, 2012

Ma Long played badly on many levels. He looked tentative attacking. He kept pushing with his forehand and was not initiating the attack. He kept missing when he did attack. He even chopped one of Lee Sang Su's loops. He also kept setting up to receive serve with his forehand and was totally just looking to push when he received serve with his forehand most of the time.

But, scylla24, you are right, his serves and his short game really were bad. He kept giving high balls. He looked like a different player than when he had his streak. He missed more attacks with his forehand than he made.

ducksick · May 20, 2012

The form of ML chg lots from WTTC when he play at Final. Or is it he purposely lost it, so that when come Olympics, others teams will take it easy? Just my own conspiracy.
If not, then as all you guys said, his mental strength are not strong enought to handle the pressure.
