Fan Zhendong vs Lin Yun-Ju (SF) - Tokyo 2020 Olympic Highlights [4K 60FPS]

Clearly, Fan Zhendong getting a bit more comfortable, settling into the rhythm of Lin Yunru. Now also in Fan Zhendong's mind is he's nervous about going around the backhand because he knows that Lin has got that shot in his locker. Oh, that is such... Anything to his backhand side that he can reach can come back explosively. The biggest sweet spot I've seen. Good use of sidespin now says to me that this is different. He knows this is the biggest moment in his career so far. Now two serves, if he needs them, at the very end. It's a long fast 13 so far, but in the end it's whoever wins four games first. Fan Zhendong to start with the serve. He's stunned. He's one of the calmest people that I've ever seen. Silent assassin. Suits him down to the ground, the nickname. The Chinese, obviously, they want to continue to dominate the sport, but it's in the best interest of the sport when we have more players challenging the Chinese that make it exciting. And just look at that. That's a point. Can he make it three? Oh, and then after that, every game is decided by a mere two point margin. Oh, Rachel. Anything less than a China China final will be considered a failure by the Chinese standards. Prominent player in the game in the last three years. Fair to say this is a pivotal moment. Oh, and he held it. Oh, my goodness. Chinese national team, they're carrying heavy rackets with hard sponge rubber on the forehand side. Oh, well played. To have a good name, some marketing. Nine serving seven here, two points away from taking a three to two lead. This is just very effective for Lin Wenru throughout this match so far, changing the rhythm. Unbelievable. Oh. And here we go. The seventh and final game, the winner through to the gold medal match. Oh, my goodness. This percent here on these shots when he has the chance. Oh. And hope your chances with some low percentage shots are a bit higher percentage than usual. So still doing everything right in terms of taking his chances. It's a good shot. So choice. Long, fast serve. Keep it tight. Again, if it's me playing and I was nowhere near this standard, I'd be serving short and trying to get in. But knowing Lin, we could get the long serve. Oh, what a shot down the line. Great shot by Fan Zhendong. Amazing way to finish the match here. He took the risk.
