I like Liang showed his respect and bowed to the GOAT.

[deepbhadja]

I always root for Ma Long to win because he is towards the end of his career, and still delivers at this age. But when I saw him winning the 7-0 match and then proceed to lead 3 games to 2, I was satisfied. I didn't care what the result of the match is going to be, I knew it that we are witnessing the greatest ever human being to touch a table tennis racket ever. No one was like him, no one is and absolutely no one will be. A genius, an absolute monster, the greatest of all time.

I feel privileged to have seen Ma Long's entire professional career. He is my favorite player of all time. Still World #4.

[KarlZundel]

Liang Jingkun's first international win against Ma Long so far! 🎉😱Very tight match, the Dragon is clearly getting slower, only no. 4 in the world now, behind Liang.
But the GOAT is not finished yet, as he showed it once again against Lin Yun-Ju!

[mohamadhoseinpashmkar]

Now The dragon can be in peace because he have a good substitude in future.I love to see him in his last olympic this sharp and hot in playing❤

[michaelshaw]

After losing first two games, Ma Long switched paddle using red as forehand. Immediately he lost 7 in a row. 7 points, that's the price he paid for swapping the rubber and 7 plays to adjust the new setting. Then, he started winning and his opponent started feeling a little uncomfortable. It's just crazy he could adjust so quickly.
Eventually, he still lost, not because of switching the rubber side, largely because Liang was just playing incredible table tennis and Ma Long's age.
Notice both Ma Long's rubbers are Hurricane III. The difference in red and black maybe the sponge hardness and thickness. Usually, black side has harder and thicker spongy resulting spiny but slower shots, red side is opposite.

[Cuahutemoc-RJ]

The respect Liang Jingkun has for Ma Long is admirable. Even though he managed to win this epic 7-set game, he remained silent and did not celebrate the victory over his countryman.
Japanese legend says that to kill a ninja, only another ninja can be killed.
In table tennis, only one Chinese opponent can beat another Chinese opponent.

[alfredthehodophile]

I’ll just drop this here, flipping your racket setup MID-GAME is wayyy easier said than done. Only the GOAT can do it.

[pham]

The baby finally defeated his daddy lol. Finally grown up, Liang Jingkun!

[sstone]

LJK has finally defeated ML in international tournament, and has defeated Harimotor, LJY, Timo Boll last Tournament, only lost to WCQ. He is in perhaps his Prime time now. I hope he can win his first WTT title tomorrow!

[Independent_Man]

After Ma Long defeated Lin Yun-Ju, I was expecting and hoping for a Ma Long vs Fan Zhendong final. Complete opposite happened. :(

[moreless]

Due to respect, MA Long, please accept my apologies. ... LIANG Jingkun: I have an oddity on my side.

[Gecko]

Lian Jinkun is a real soldier. He was losing 0-2 set, to save 5 match balls against Gauzy to finally win 3-2, same vs Ma Long 2-3, exhausted he stayed in the game to win 4-3. Clearly Calderano have another lvl this year but never bet vs Lian Jinkun, u will lose your house, your wife and your dog. This guyz never give up and is one of the most stable player with Wan Chuqin.

[Independent_Man]

I think Ma Long was satisfied by his performance at the end. Either that or he's become better at hiding his disappointment.

[Independent_Man]

Liang Jingkun might be the second best Chinese player right now. I wonder what his chances are of being selected alongside Wang Chuqin in Olympic singles and/or in team events.

[HakuCell]

20:55 Ma Long's forehand opener against strong push: his movement was very vertical and the racket ended above his head.

[SuperSlewman]

Good match. Calderano a big chance of winning the final. He loves it here in Korea.

[popados]

Красавчик Лиан, всё же смог победить Диктатора! Болел за него🔥

[shenzhenpingpong]

Liang always had the backhand, it's better than Ma's, but Ma has always been able to step around and crush it with the forehand. Not so easy anymore for Ma. Liang could lose to Calederano in the final, as I don't think his defense is good enough. He will have to step up and attack Calderano first.

[Алекслукаш-сщ]

Пераый раз вижу что Ма Лонг рад победителю
