ML as expected taking control of the game. As of now there seems to be nothing in FZD's arsenal that can change the course of the game.
This is sad truth. ML still the best player in the world. I was hoping for a much better fight from FZD. Well, there is still a chance for a fight else it will be too boring. Hope FZD steps it up just for the fans who came in for a great game.This is choking.
Completely agree. He is so efficient these days . Almost effortless. Remimds of Roger Federer. Great stuff !!ML is really better than ever. He smothers and takes away the opponents game and brings out his amazing offensive qualities like a wizard. He's a physicist, mathematician and architect all at once. Fzd is the rockstar with one amazing album, but to become a legend he needs to start experimenting with his sounds.

Exact same pattern at 10:11 and 12:13, FZD serving. He served a side-top and got a loose return, but somehow held back and gave back an even looser ball.
We should all be so happy to be living in the time of Ma Long. I'm not sure someone like him will ever come again.
I think with all the rule changes and equipment changes, it will be hard for someone to learn all the tricks that Ma Long picked up playing in the era of tricksters like Ma Lin and Wang Hao. So in a sad way, you may be more right than we can appreciate.
Now I think about it, I think in both cases what happened was that FZD didn't think that Ma Long could push the ball short, so it violated his training muscle memory.Exact same pattern at 10:11 and 12:13, FZD serving.

I thought I was watching One Punch Man, where Saitama (Ma Long) leaves himself undefended and the villain, Carnage Cabuto (FZD) is scared to attack because he thinks One Punch Man couldn't possible leave himself that exposed and will kill him if he attacks.
