According to the lampnmarco's comment of the youtube video, Wang Hao said - "you've done really good after dropping the first three sets and don't be so sad".

Lol that's def not true. I understand chinese but his mouth was hard to read. Logically probably something consoling, after that upset. I didn't see them shake hands so whatever he said was probably in place of the handashake (?).

Yes I hoped he couldn't say that to Ma Long^^ It will be really harsh from Wang Hao to say those words Ma Long!

Yeah, I looked it over and over again and I cannot understand why they didn't make handshake? I remember few years ago Zhang Jike didn't make handshake with Ma Long after loosing 4:0 and afterwards he was criticized a lot by the Chinese coaches and fans.Lol that's def not true.

zhng made a point of making sure ma couldnt shake his hand though. this is different, wang hao obviously offered words of consolation rather than the handshake as he knew ma long was upset.
I want him to win the final now!
I think that you are right it seemed tired mentally and physically, Too much easy errors for his standard. Wang Hao was super smart.Guys... Didn't ma long look kind of tired in the matches against timo wang hao?
I do not think it is a technical problem related to backhand and short game, I think he was tired maybe too much training or wrong timing.
Also maybe is a mental block, he knows he can play each shot very well and during the match may not accept the fact he is not 100% and must adapt the tactic to a more conservative approach. Of course conservative for Ma Long may consist to force the forehand instead of starting with backhand. I remember a match where he was in trouble with a backhand to backhand approach and was able to successfully switch to a mainly forehand play. Yesterday was barely able to react somehow in the last two game.
I hope he will not stop trying, he is great and inspiring to watch when he is in form (and he is in form most of the time).

Quite strange what you write about Ma Long. I am not a fan of him, but to be honest if he is in a good shape, it is really hard to beat him. I remember last year ZJK tried many times, one time even he did not shake ML hand after losing. Of course ML is not very intelligent player, his way of playing is very concentrated to attack each ball. The problem is, that when he is not in a good shape he doesn’t change his strategy. That is why he is losing. I prefer smarter players like Waldner or in nowadays Kenta Matsudaira. Anyway I prefer Wang Hao to win.

one thing i see is ma long and xu xin having trouble with players who plays close to the table and are good blockers. xu xin had trouble with kenta matsudaira's blocks and close table game and ma long with timo's game. they also had trouble with zjk and wang hao's close table play
I do not think he is not intelligent, quite the opposite he is very smart much more than Zang Jike. He can manage to win with every opponent in a very consistent way, much more than anyone and you cannot do that with brute force alone. It is required a great deal of tactic and technique.
The problem is with World Championships it seems that he has a drop in form at the final stages and he is not mentally prepared for that.

I did not mean he is not intelligent, just the way he plays is very simple. Look at his serve, it is not very complicated and there are not many of them, also block. Compare it for instance with Wang Hao or ZJK, the both mix serve a lot, they change their tactics during the game.

Wang Hao almost got it. Those who voted for Wang Hao in this thread's poll comprised only roughly 3% of all votes... hahaha
I think Ma Long has a lot of variations, honestly I cannot say if more or less than WH and ZJ, but he has a lot of service and variation. I think his problem is when something basic for him is not working, he really is not prepared. For example when he misses first attack on the forehand or is not able to reach a relatively simple ball he does not know what to do to get back in the game, for the very reason that it does not happen frequently
