dima is messing it up for him self i am actually worried now. I sense a 5th game.

 

[fanTT]

Dima is playing on pure power. No brains on better placing and so on..

 

[waldner101]

??? is dima out of his mind. he giving it up.

The british guy sounds like he is talking through a funnel I can't hear a word he whispers during any of the coverage.
The kiwi is learning as he goes along I can take some of it in doses but overall I feel it is still fairly mute worthy.

None of it is going to be insightful to a high level player. It's just whether it is technically correct and conveys the right sense of wonder about what is going on. And I think they have done a good job of that in what I am seeing if it is the same guys that NBC is using.

Yikes Joo See Hyuk wins the 4th game 11-2! Ovtcharov and Joo are in the fifth and final set!

 

[NextLevel]

The thing about Dima is that, unlike Timo or Samsonov, his play is so aggressive and risky you're never exactly sure if he will destroy the opponent or self-destruct.

Joo has switched to No-spin and Dima is not reading it.

??? is dima out of his mind. he giving it up.

he just look very tired with his earlier powerfull strokes.

 

[anchorschmidt]

Um, Dan, are you watching a different game? Beach Volleyball perhaps?

 

[The Omega Man]

Is Dima choking? oh man

 

[waldner101]

If there is anyone that can crush joo with only power its ma long.

 

[The Omega Man]

If there is anyone that can crush joo with only power its ma long.

Indeed, Dima thought he would Ma Long his way trough Joo, now he is tired and confused

 

[Dan]

You've got to love beach volleyball anchor

Dima can do it too - he just doesn't have the right equipment and he hasn't practiced with Joo as much or read him as well. The new ball has also reduced some of Dima's leverage.

 

[Cornel]

If there is anyone that can crush joo with only power its ma long.

Hmmm, what about Mike Tyson?

 

[Sali]

if dima looses then it will be 3:0 for korea. their double is too good for steger and boll

 

[The Omega Man]

Dima can do it too - he just doesn't have the right equipment and he hasn't practiced with Joo as much or read him as well. The new ball has also reduced some of Dima's leverage.

So what's the right equipment for Dima that would catapult him to world top 3? China's mythical blue sponge FH rubber?

 

[Cornel]

Rosskopf did a good job to wake up Dima

 

[NextLevel]

Two smart returns to the forehand. Dima realized that the forehand is less dangerous from the forehand side.

Dima does it. Lee Sang Su feels encouraged...

 

[Dan]

Good match! Who does Boll meet in the 4th match?

Actually, Ma Long doesn't use pure power against defenders. Who are you talking about is ZJK. It's pretty usual to push back a chop from Ma.
