What a sensational game!CHOOO

 

[integration]

what a mental comeback from Ma Long! looked like he was about to give in after the 3rd set. Well played to Yan An too.

 

[Steven]

What a final! Loved Ma Long's aces, so sick to do that during a World Tour final.

[Steven]

Qatar Open prizes certainly add something special to your trophy case...

 

[pingpingpongpong]

That is the final we always want

 

[Persistence TT]

Finally some mental toughness from ma long! He let yan an make the unforced errors. Clever tactics from yan an also...

He won many crucial points by giving ML room to attack and then quickly he fell back in position to counter attack. All in all experience was a crucial factor for this game

Yep, I want to design the banner free of cost. (Still waiting for Dan to PM me, tell me the requirements and all that) Back in the day, the face was black and white.

No, it really is colored, not B/W..

View attachment 3465Does anyone know which blade is Ma Long using now? I took this picture so if anyone knows please reply! thanks

Not on the market yet but I bet DHS will release it as Hurricane Long 3 soon if Ma Long keep winning with it. Probably another 7 ply wood blade with blue handle and a nice color picture of ML's head on the bottom of it.

Thanks for sharing Janus!

Judging from the last 2 open, Ma Long really needs to improve his backhand. But i must say that Qatar Open final is much more interesting compare to the Kuwait Final. A very intense and breathtaking fight to the last point, especially the last2 sets

Oh, and thank you janus for sharing the video

Hmm, to me it seemed that ML has improved his backhand and is therefore becoming a bit lazy (at least in these 2 Finals in Qatar and Kuwait). In fact I wondered why he stopped moving around his backhand while under pressure, since his forehand loop is one of his best moves. Especially in the game against ZJK it was irritating...

In addition to that it looked like his forehand torpedo became less effective. ZJK had no problems at all blocking them just like Yan An...

I might be wrong, but these two things changed. I mean just look at the final of the Austrian Open 2011.

(Enough talking, now is training-time )
See y'all later
