момент переломный , упустил Кальдерано свой шанс забить!

Он просто обязан был выграть, а он боролся сам с собой

Dima saw Filus regain control of the rally with that forehand counter and was like "hell yea he got this"

You know that this is a 2018 match, right?

@@PedroHISilva I know! I wouldn't have said it if he had improved enough to take on the chinese in 2022! He may have made some improvements, but the chinese have improved a lot more! Also I still feel his footwork is still not upto the mark as the chinese! I Check out the way Fan and Ma counter attacking shots of opponents. They not only attack but also maintain a good position from the table, which enables them to return anything opponent throws their way. I believe Hugo was one of the people, who said early on that they are closing in on the chinese and in few years time they will start beating them! Era of finishing off with one massive forehand shot is over, now good players will return those shots. You need to get used to long rallies involving lots of attacking shots! You need to learn how to prevail in a rally !! 3rd ball attack is not a good option any more !! Learn how Fan is tackling Ma ! It is bit disappointing to see the Non=chinese players always way behind the chinese when it comes to skill, tactics and stamina!! Its frustrating to see frequent one sided matches !

Tired of seeing Ma Long wins all the time.

@@EY-mp4rb happy now?

But that’s how defensive players win - they trick you by switching rotation and force your mistake, and German does it extremely well.

Nobody cares about curled fingers. They are only looking to see if the ball is visible and if the player is imparting spin on the ball.

@@skipondowntheroad5833 Nobody? Or JUST YOU???? I call fouls as a referee all the time. READ THE ITTF RULES. It said 'open palm at all times'. Well, if you can't read, then I will hate if you will get me as the referee and kick your lily ass out of the match right away.

Yeah….yeah….yeah…..this is a typical kind of comments from ping pong players!!!! If you want, I can mail you a book with all rules/regulations so you can talk with some sense! FYI….no one have a perfect service!

@@canicetang8837 Luckily you are not the referee. Hugo did not intend to hide the ball. Rules can be changed ! It's hard to change a habbit of serving.

@@WallaceChan1 Are you blind????? Did you see his finger curled 100 percent of the times before he even served the ball. Rules can be changed? Are you freaking stupid????? So let's go back to the times when those ITTF rules didn't apply. No open palms, no minimum height toss required, anything goes. People can serve as close to the table or on your side. How's that? Now you are saying, "That's bloody absurd!" I am just throwing this back at you. Finally, "It's hard to change of habit of serving." - So if you are a bloody criminal who steals, that's okay too? Rules are rules. You have to be obliged by them. Otherwise, why play the game or even have proper tournaments if everybody cheats? Once again, READ THE ITTF SERVING RULES. THEY ARE SPELT CLEAR FOR YOU. I told all those serving cheaters, maybe you are too I don't know from how you defend Hugo. "If you don't follow the rules, then don't play in sanctioned tournaments, ever!" Often I documented the incident with videotapes as evidences to bring it up to the regional Table Tennis Association for further more deductions or sanctions on those offending players I kicked out. 100 percent of the time, either the match penalty stays or more ranking points taken away from them. Think for a moment, how is it fair for other players who had obliged by the rules when you are not? If you don't following basic driving rules, you will cause an accident and kill someone. So Hugo serving fouls all the time, and everyone should follow? Bull freaking shit!!! I will love to be the referee of your game and if you give me these BS excuses. Those penalty cards will be flying out of my hand and you wouldn't even last one single set. That's not a threat. It is a promise.
