You sure seemed to hit dude's phone camera a lot !!! Hehe. (vs Marek)
You seemd to place yourself a bit too far from the table for some balls, which made you reach and miss several easy hits.
Is it just me, or did both you and Marek have black rubber on both sides of your bats?
You got a lot of work on serve. At 9:12, Marek made a real easy flip finish off your high serve to end the game.
You seem to try out the BH loop, followed by a FH step around, but missed many of those, some of them entirely. You will get better with that in more time and practice. You could also try a BH loop, move a little closer to the table and make a BH loop drive to another area of table, then step around for the finish as the ball from your second attack might be a weaker ball.
You seem to like serving long a lot. You get away with this vs marek, but against a better attacker, look out.
Whether you make a BH loop or a FH loop for your first attack, you seem to step too far back. This is hurting your next attack as your opponet softly blocks your first attack and you are reaching too much to make the 2nd attack and it is often a fail. Correct this by consciously staying 1/2 meter from the table. You are fast enough to react to a faster block from this distance.
Missing 2 consecutive serves at 14:06 loses some cool points.
Marek doesn't seem to like tossing the ball more than a few CM
You sometimes serve FH pendulum from the middle of table or FH corner. Are you looking to use your BH more than your FH?
Your opening loop is not that spinny and is easily blocked softly and shorter than you perceive. it is slowish and not very loaded with spin. You have the age-old arguement whether to go for power or consistancy. You could work on making your opening loop spinnier and a little faster to trouble the opponent more, but comes with a better level and consistancy that goes with that. You land your opener with acceptable percentage, but it doesn't create a ton of advantage for you. malek could counter right through you loop any time he wanted, which was usually the 3rd or 4th attack if you landed that many. If I ws playing against you, I could do the same by simply blocking, but I would use more angle blocking. You tend to drift back from the table right away and an angled block makes you go twice the distance to get the ball than if you were near the table. One block to wide FH, then a block down BH line and point is over if you landed the wide FH ball.
On many BH openers, you are too far back from the table to open vs underspin. This causes you to reach and miss a lot of balls that are easy opening chances. Malek simply pushed the ball long, but not very fast and allowed you to spray hte ball for many of his points won.
Your second attack should have you moving closer to the table and swinging more forward while the ball is still higher than net. if you could be in position to impact the ball when it is at its highest point (instead of waiting back and allowing to to drop below table), you will be able to safely hit with more power to presure malec or win more points directly. You have the stroke for finishing, but too far back position is killing you. malec wasn't pounding a lot of balls at you. He was simply giving you weak bumps or underspins and soft blocks form your first opener or 2nd attack. You had a lot of opportunity to safely finish a lot of points, but instead, stood too far back and made weaker and lower percentage attacks. if in position and ready, sometimes a stronger attack is higher percentage.
