Austrian Open 2011 (Pro Tour)

[Michal_Z]

Sooo, here we go!
Li Xiaoxia vs. Liu Shiwen .. I hope Shiwen will win the women category!

 

[Michal_Z]

Yeees, Liu Shiwen won quite easily, so I hope now that she will get her revenge against Ding Ning after Worlds ..

 

[Bollforte94]

Same opinion as Michal would be an amazing final!

 

[YosuaYosan]

Ma Long proceeds to FINAL !

 

[Michal_Z]

Sooo.. Ma Long after big fight is in the final..
After he lost first 2 games 11:7 and 11:9, he came back strongly 11:4 and 11:5..
Then.. Off the pressure, he lost 11:9 .. but realising that he has to continue playing, won next 2 games 11:4..
Surprisingly Xu Xin at 10:4 decided to show some exhibition stuff throwing high balls back to Ma Long to smash it..
Anyways, match was not that good, only few good rallyes, but the deciding game was cool, really

Ok, lets see what can Zhang Jike and Ma Lin do..
I hope it will not last 90 minutes thanks to Ma Lin, lol..

 

[Michal_Z]

Ok so Ma Lin didnt show anything but backhand blodking and forehand hunting.. That cant be enough to beat Zhang´s consistent alround play ..
So Zhang beat Ma Lin 4:0 .. we have repeat of Harmony´s final!
Who will win this time???

 

[Michal_Z]

Ooooh, too bad Liu won just one game
Then she went out badly with her mental strenght..

 

[YosuaYosan]

LOLOLOL
What an intense last set. Too bad ZJK makes a mistake.
Congrats to Ma Long for the victory !

 

[Steven]

Wow that MS final was insane.

 

[Dan]

Ma Long is the Mens Singles Champion at the Austrian Open 2011. Ma Long defeats Zhang Jike in an epic 7 set match with scores: 11-3,5-11,11-8,6-11,11-9,4-11,15-13! If the Olympic final will be like that, it will be the best nail biting Olympic final ever!

What a final!

Wooooov!!!
I almost bite off my fingers, not just fingernails lol!!!
When Zhang came back to 10:10 from 10:6, I thought Ma Long will be lost, down.. that he will loose.. But he managed to get another matchball, but Zhang equals again.. Another matchball and another tie 12:12 ..
Then I really thought its all over when Zhang got matchball..
And when he got those big big backhands in, I couldnt see Ma Long to stay in, but he made that incredible insane forehand that I still dont understand how he did it and after this he won it!
I think it was the best final ever!
Wov!
