Zhang should figure out a way to beat Ma Long, if he doesn't he will be nr. 2 for the coming 5 years. Like Ma Lin always was nr.2 behind Wang Liqin.
i think the key is, to beat ma long in the first game. like european player should do it against chinese to get them under pressure. but ma long is a wall and has to much power in the first game. against everyone he is winning the first game very high. i see him often going to a 6-0 lead or something. and then the first game is done. the only one who got it, was ryu seung min at the team world cup, and maybe he could beat ma long, if he is able to play a penhold backhand. but just playing forhand all over the table against ma long is like playing football against a wall
