I think he meant 09:37. It's the only fail in the video as far as I know haha.

 

[Michal_Z]

Aaaaha, can be, yes, I laugh everytime I see it

 

[Michal_Z]

Yes it was it he even commented that he ment 9:37
And yes, it is fail..
I am always wondering - did the japanese guy make it on purpose?

I have no idea..

 

[Steven]

Nah, what he did was actually really hard, hitting it on the second try. I tried it but it's really weird to hit an inexpected ball that's already behind you. Too risky so he'd be better off doing a dropshot.

 

[Michal_Z]

Yes and he did it even with the jump!

I voted for the doubles rally - great rally made greater by the complexities of team work.

But, for me, the standout match of the year was clearly Ma Long vs Tokic. Tokic left absolutely nothing in his bag; he threw everything possible at Ma and pushed him to places he never thought he'd have to go. In the add-ons there are a couple more clips from that same match, which suggests that overall its standard was amazingly high.

 

[Michal_Z]

You can vote for that match I guess there is a poll - match of the year

 

[Michal_Z]

Hmm, looks like rally from Austrian open is going to be a winner!

I only wonder, who clicked dislike on youtube ..

 

[Cheezy]

Someone, who is the guy playing against Mattenet in 06:00? Chuan-chih Yuan?

 

[dguerra]

i'll stick to the doubles rally, really great

excellent poll man!!!

 

[Michal_Z]

Someone, who is the guy playing against Mattenet in 06:00? Chuan-chih Yuan?

Yes, its even written in the poll

 

[Michal_Z]

Hmm..
This is weird, I set the poll public, so we can see who voted what..
But I have seen the results this way till I made the vote..
Since then I only see numbers, not names.. hmm ???

 

[Michal_Z]

Dan, can you explain?

 

[WiWa]

I can see it.. :O Just click on one of the numbers and you get the overview with the names below each item.

 

[Michal_Z]

Ahaaa, yes!
Well was confused, because before vote I could see it without clicking anything.. hmm..

Thanks!

I am surprised that there are not more people blown away by Michael Maze's defensive skills in that rally. Some of the balls he gets and how he turns it from offense to defense is very cool in my opinion. I get people liking some of those loop to loop rallies but the Maze rally is special with some of the shots he makes in it.

I think it would more apply for 'shot of the year' instead of rally of the year. The 2 lobs are incredible, but for the rest the rally is fairly common stuff. But of course he finishes it off nicely

Yeah, you are probably right. But those two lobs are pretty wild.

 

[Michal_Z]

Yes the first lob is completely breathtaking
It seemed to be completely lost rally and somehow the ball ended on the table, just amazing!
