That's the most I've seen Timo get down on himself. Looks like Zhang was really changing up the amount of spin on his shots and finding Timo's switch points, jamming him.

Zhang jike´s service reception is something else... O_O

nice music :D

@malawa21 - yeah, I saw the game and I also saw the two easy "mistakes" Zhang made @ 2:54 at a 10:10 tie.

@domiffa Sorry, didn't analize that, Zhang was trying to push it extra short to get the first attack(like someone who wants to WIN the game), but that is not enough to excuse him. If you look more closely (like at 10-10), you will see a much more strategic game.

Actually, the first “mistake” was a serve (spin) variation, and the latter good placement.

Throughout the video, I felt as if Timo Bill had lost his edge. Then 2:27 came, and my eyes went O_O

Zhang Jike knew he couldn't loose - he gave Timo the third set. How humiliating...

2:27 Mind=blown.

10-11

@domiffa Those mistakes were forced from well placed shots by Timo. Table tennis isn't all about rallies -- its also about placement-- if you look at it from that perspective you will see how Table tennis is sometimes compared to martial arts. Sometimes a good shot is a well placed shot. And your not blind (sorry), Timo haters just annoy me. :) Need we say more?

what music is this?

I meant the 10-11 point not 10-10

why zhang is so populair: his game he is a young player and he shows some emotions (remember Rotterdam)

@malawa21 - I'm definitely not a Timo hater. I'm German, so I'm actually a fan. But I still disagree: Timos return was weak and still Zhang pushed the ball in the net - a surprisingly easy and unforced error. Table tennis requires a reasonable amount of concentration at every part of the game and a tiny lack can cause you to loose a set...

CORRECTION ,after 10-10.

@domiffa “Gave timo the game”? Are you blind? Did you see the shots he made?
