Ma Lin vs Timo Boll 11-0

[Dan]

I'm pretty sure this sensational video hasn't been on TTD before. I thought I would make a post on this performance from Ma Lin. If you want to see peak performance at its absolute best, watch the video below. I did not think a 11-0 win could be possible against to highly skilled competitors playing one another.

Ma Lin can do anything if he has his magician hat on

The last point was a mistake lol... Ma Lin wants to give a point a way, but some how, it just toooo unlucky that he got a lucky serve

That was the year that Timo injured his back. Or came back from a back injury I believe. Plus realize that he's only 22-23 at this point. Hadn't really had many majors under his belt. As for the last point yes it was a mistake. Ma had meant to serve long, but clips the corner. You can see Timo at the end saying "it's okay." And Ma next shakes his head in disappointment. Guess when you're lucky you just can't do anything about it. But this could also be the reason why the Chinese choose to serve into the net instead of serving long now.

I like the fact Timo Boll is still smiling afterwards
