Ma Long vs Felix Lebrun | MS | WTT Star Contender European Summer Series 2022 (R32)

Something that I'd like to talk about is the action. Look at the transfer of weight there from Marlon. In fact, should I say the second one was against Van Zendong. Marlon won in front. But the placement is impeccable. Raleigh embracing the challenge. Felix LeBrun is... Composure, the dragon away from the table. And Felix LeBrun has a game point. He's done it. Game one goes to Felix LeBrun. Achieve the unthinkable. Slow spin. Marlon contact, but he's more subtle with it and impacts a bit more backspin. This time goes into the forehand. A massive drag in the match start. Well, it's a clear tactic. Analyzing LeBrun against Kirill Grasamenko. Beautiful open up again from Marlon. Ball which he wanted. Well, there we see Marlon bear at his best. Oh, that's just devastating. Serve wide again. Well, the world of table tennis fixated. Again, that wide. Marlon pinning the different positions. Well in this. It's like he's settled a bit as well. Showing good power here, but then Marlon... Chiquita down the line. Oh, Marlon... He gets in into the middle once more with slow spin. What an achievement for the Egyptian there. Great rally. Neither player missing. Oh, my goodness me. To the eyes of Marlon, this is brilliant. Marlon on the back foot, fishing there. Away from the table. Felix pinning him on the backhand now. What a point! This new WTT setup. Nice push, good backhands. Neck hard, recovers. That's unbelievable! Balance almost, but still manages... Acknowledges the good shot. But it's now 9-7. Oh, good placement there. Comes into the table after the counter, but misses. What a rally! Marlon stamping his authority there. He misses the push. Marlon does it. And that really is a match that epitomises...
