TOP 10 MOST EPIC TABLE TENNIS MOMENTS EVER

Take the first two sets, but... Liu Shiwen with the net. Oh, it's stunning. Who is Liu Shiwen? Oh, this is... To get a point! Oh, and that's thrown in here. I don't know whether the Chinese will do that, but... Well, here's the question, champion. And there we go. You were right, Jill. It's a game away from the final of the World Championship. Geometry of the points. Shoulders. It's very natural to get forward in table tennis. It's what it is. She doesn't have that luxury now. Liu Shiwen prepare for a ninth point. Wow. Not in game five. There have been so many points down. I think no mercy. No mercy. And she does it. 11-0 for a 3-2 lead. Déjà vu. Liu Shiwen means business. You can't know what's happening. Chun Meng came back to win last game. After Liu Shiwen showing strong, that has been the biggest question. And there it is in slow motion. Simply turn things around. He did beat Fang Zhendong in their last encounter. All right, down the line. And I'm sure, at least for one day, he would see it differently with the number of points, if he could change his seventh match. And that's exactly what he does, and he falls to the ground. Because he knows, he did something really, really great. Because it's not just the gold medal for a 22-year-old, but for someone, who tears the jersey off his body, because he knows, he has never been allowed to play individually at the World Cup before. So he had to work really, really hard to get his first one. China dominated this World Cup, as expected. There was a great cutoff of the German gentlemen with the bronze medal for Timo Boll as a crowning, so also from a German point of view, a very, very successful World Cup, which actually has a taste for the team World Cup in the coming year in Dortmund. For the first win, and of course both. A lot of pressure on Wang Hao's shoulders. A dream backhand. What reflexes, what reflexes. 10 to 9. Will Wang Hao be able to defend this match ball again? No, he can't make it. Rio is the Olympic winner. Rio Seun Min from South Korea has done it. He wins gold here in the men's singles. Henna Thien. The short shakehand. China has failed again to win gold in the royal discipline. He is the winner. Oh, just missing. Incredible recovery. Almost burned. Apologizes there for the fortune a few shots back. Still the touch game. No panic from Ma Long. Matias played that as well as you can possibly play it, Don. Game points for the Swede in the lead. Oh, just missing. Outstanding rally. The rally of the match so far. Just incredible. The improvised shots. That forehand tomahawk chop comes back and then he has to float it from under the table. The fishing game from Matias Falk. When do you see this? He even had the counter with the forehand. This is the greatest of all time at this point in history. Ma Long putting it in stone. The world, somebody, nearly superhuman on the table. A masterclass for all. And respect to Matias Falk. He came in with the gloves tied tight. Gave quite a fight. Really a respectable performance. And in game four, this could have opened up to go either way. But Ma Long right now, we've seen celebrations. He has got to be just out of his mind. Look at this man, Don. Well, just watch this point again. There it is. And those arms go up. The emotions there. And it's not just, I think, because of what he's just done on the table. It's not that long ago when potentially he thought his career was over. His table tennis finished. And now he's been on a journey for some seven, eight months. And it accumulates in this point. And that's what it's all about there. That's what you can see on the screen. It's the last six months. Lockdown. Table tennis from both. The point of the championship. Right there on their feet. I thought we had the best point of the day earlier. That had to be the best point. I don't know how many shots that was. What a point that would have been to win the spanking ball. Thanks to Michael Mace. To go to the end. Nine to ten. Not yet. Mentally. Exalted. The expressive type. And in this moment Michael Mace is in the semifinals of the table tennis world championship from Shanghai. After an incredible match.
