You love that don't you. Thanks for the commentary

Those fond of trick shots like you will luv that moment🫵😍….but 39:06 was the commentary moment I luv…’of the highest order’😝😍

Thanks Adam, your commentary is really on-spot and uplifts the game for all English audiences!

Double happiness AND a roller in one rally?! What are the odds?!

Because when you're the favorite people talk about how you lost not who beat you.

Because the reason the game went the way it went was Ma Long not being ready to play. Nobody cares how well Franziska played, it's never anywhere near enough when the other guy plays his best :)

Its also subconsciously a david and Goliath playing out.... So it will be very hard to impossible to make this centuries old paradigm shift

He is really strong, although Ma was not at the best status.

@@timsun2124 I disagree, ma long played fine but Patrick's backhand was always something to be recond with and as Adam said he took out the other 2 juggernauts with it!

Yes, I wish him that, even though ma long has not been in form since the beginning...(:

His KZfaq channel lights up the world. Love the guy!!!

British english part was so funny😂

him called patrick "france" is hilarious and also annoying at the same time

Agreed, he has a very nice voice to, polite and clear, it was very excellent

Also nice he speaks Mandarin and knows what the fans are cheering.

100%

adam is indeed superb. doin science's work out there promoting table tennis

That shot is unreturnable. The clearance of the bounce is less than the thickness of the paddle.

Even on the losing end of PF's spectacular roller retrieval, we observe another aspect of Ma Long's greatness. Notice ML never assumed he'd won the point even after he got the net + edge. He remained ready for the ball to come back. When it did, he tried to play it. Anything less than Franziska's perfect roll touch, and ML would have still finished the point with a lift to the open court. Thank you, gentlemen players, for such a thrilling battle of wits and skill! And thank you, A. Bobrow, for relentless love of the game commentary that urges all TT fans to expect the unexpected.

Wait when did Francisco beat Fan before?

@@benthekeeshond545 !

Thanks to Adam Bobrow's fun positive vibe.

no hes incredibly cringe

Is adam bobrow?

@@neverdone7128yes

yes but it's luck factor, nobody can aim for this. on the other hand this win was no luck, so deserved

Please do not think

@@mowgli9475 nobody asked for your opinion ,gud day 🥱🥱

I think Ma Long should retire, she would be a good one after the year-end tournament

Chuang Chih-Yuan can play 20 years and bit young players, I believe Ma can, too.

@@kivenyllow3264 Right! Against mediocre players. If Mr. Ma needs TT to put bread on his dining table, then he should keep playing. Otherwise, he should hang up his racket. What is there Ma Long hasn't accomplished in TT?

This guy is demi god in that way 😝😝😝

Ja, absolut beeindruckend, Patricks druckvolles Spiel und das gegen Ma Long, die aktuelle Nr. 3 und jahrelange "number one."

personally i am proud that in germany that ping pong is an unknown sport a player could have beaten one of the best chinese players

@@paolocenci9108 As a Chinese student in Germany, I am quite sure that the atmosphere of table tennis in Germany is better than in China. Germany has a very good league system compared to China.

@@qiaoshengzhang5480 yeah everyone knows table tennis in Germany but only as this school sport who isnt really a sport. And medial its just so underrated

And what's your problem if people talk about ma long retirement only. Pls let people here post whatever they want as long as it is responsible

@@paulmuriithi7596 Imho it is just laughable that unqualified people judge so quickly about a top 10 player losing a match that he should retire. This is for them and their coaches to decide. Just imagine sb say to Kanak Jha for instance "You know what bro? You lost again to Timo Boll who is DOUBLE your age - just quit table tennis already"

LOL seriously.

But what CTTA is actually doing now，is to let FZD stay at home for 7 months and prepare only for team events.

He has barely played this year. He was just terrible this game.

This is the first match I seen ma long miss so many shots, so yes he definitely played bad.Which is okay it happens to everyone.

Yes, he did play very bad actually. He's having more matches like this, Ma..Might be starting to decline it seems..Big difference in now and previous Ma long level..

I would consider fatigue, ma long played very many matches in Budapest. Wang and moregard are all out I dont see any other explanation.

I think they'd love to but getting too busy warming up their players

from what I can see...even more complex. strategy was to slow down balls and play near the net, but with constant variations of tempo, depth and placement, often aiming to the elbow but through placement variations. mixing as much as possible. just playing near the net would do too little when you can see top Chinese players playing matches against each other this way - they know well how to play 'at the table' at top level

Lmao

Dont bully ovacharov

Was about to write that but you beat me to it - well done.

Franz is a chinese killer, thats all. Ma Long is still playing great TT overall.

@@elitefamilyparkour fan zhendong says hi

@@DanielFlores-vu9wu Franziska has beaten Fan.

you too

@@user-ij1sb7il3q you too

Ma long has been looking like that for the last two years haha

He looks like that. Probably age thing?

@@faizalkhatik9487 at 33 playing an indoor sport?It's just stress.
