I think we're going to see a lot of that.
So Zhang Weijin loves games.
A lot of grisly and a bit aggressive.
Zhang Weijin shines.
I think that's what we need to see from Trolls.
Known for having the...
He got it!
That's just too good.
Looked for all the world,
bat up by his head that he was going to drill through it.
But Zhang Weijin, like he did against Tagami, he's using his brain.
And he doesn't.
Well, 11 points to five.
Fantastically fast start from Zhang Weijin.
Trolls Morugai just didn't really manage to get going in that opening game.
Never looked fully comfortable.
The umpire's chair with his towel.
Oh, there's one. Zhang Weijin.
That was amazing. Zhang Weijin.
Morugai's point.
He would be speaking in English and speaking to the umpires.
Zhang Weijin is serving. He's winning the point.
What's impressing me about Zhang Weijin is the trauma of that power he's got.
Well, he's got two games as well now.
He's halfway to a place in the semifinals.
Morugai really unable to get going.
But you're right, Joe.
Wins him the first point.
Oh, that's a great point to win.
Always wants to play that forehand from the backhand side.
And it's a brilliant point.
I love the way that just pinged back.
Yeah, that's beautiful from Trolls.
I was actually watching directly behind the players
to try and see the contact point, to see if it was being hidden.
Zhang Weijin stands to receive.
Even on the forehand.
Yeah, he's got to try and play up to wide forehand or into the body.
There we go.
He's got to start going out there,
because if you play everything into that corner of the table,
you make it easier for Zhang Weijin to get his forehand in.
Yeah, but when you do, even then,
that forehand shot, even if it's in the wrong position.
Oh, brilliant.
Brilliantly done.
Moragard, 11 points to nine.
I mean, he was pushed all the way in that game.
He was in control throughout the early stages of it.
Had a three points to the wide forehand.
Of course, this week, he's playing well.
Catching the edge.
Zero, five.
On his own, mixes up the serve.
Oh, that's one way to do it.
Shot block again into the combo.
He's got his head in his hands, but he won the point.
He has. He's such a master of everything.
The flick, the luck.
Oh, and Schultz is laughing.
It's like he's stuck in a nightmare right now.
Well, if he didn't laugh, he'd cry because the scoreboard
looks like grim reading indeed for the Swede.
He is trailing.
Otherwise, it goes in the net like it did.
The deception from Zhang Weijin.
Oh, well, the backhand fires way, way long and it's difficult to deal with.
That one almost knocks him off his feet.
He's looking nonplussed.
By the quality, the pace of the ball.
Shot block's coming out again.
Flips the top of the net.
He's got to find something to stop the momentum.
Wow. Zhang Weijin got the net back.
Schultz came in and played a four and I think his foot
kicked the stand at the table, which you heard.
My goodness.
Goodness me.
It's Zhang Weijin who saves game points, earns himself the match point.
Moragard into the net means that Zhang Weijin is the winner
with a 4-1 victory over the Swede.
He's knocked out a seed here and he is through to the semifinals
where he has an even tougher task because the top seed awaits Lin Shidong.
But Zhang Weijin went off to a quick start and won the first two games.
