Lin Shidong vs Anton Kallberg | MT - Groups | #ITTFWorlds2026

I ask the question because a lot of people think, okay, China lost to Korea yesterday, their first loss in 26 years. And then earlier on in this tie against Elias Ranathor. So this is the match, looking at it from Lin Shidong's perspective. This is the match. We'll be looking to set sail here and get this historic win against China. Kjellberg lobbying, trying to loop it back, I think for Kjellberg. Something as epic as the China smash final, without being in the top. As a receive. Mixes it up. Yeah, makes use of that fortune, doesn't he? And he's got a hook serve of his own. Both of these have beautiful hook serves. Loaded that. As well to swing through that ball. 9-10. This is the danger. This is why it's such a concern. Because it looked like Lin Shidong was going to get this. World Championships in London. And again, Anton Kjellberg gets out the hand. Short serve to forehand. Because he's getting controlled there. If you get caught there and the ball goes to your forehand, you're over-rotating. Some of the fastest footwork we've ever seen. Legend. And this is it. So either get the first attack in. Push these slightly longer. Push it deep on the middle zone. Bit longer here. Deuce. Wanted to see from Little Stone. We know he's struggling in these moments. But right here, right now. Hands from middle. Served longer. It opened up. Kjellberg doesn't want to make the same kind of mistake as Shidong was. Heaving the ball. There was a moment in this rally. The pivotal moment where Lin Shidong stepped forward and Anton got forced backwards. That is heavenly. Heavenly feeling. And we don't think of him so much as a feeling player in the same... Earlier and dumped it in the net. I'd like to see Kjellberg do one back. That'll bring back some flashbacks to his serve that he used to do as a junior. Against Liang Jingkun. The kicker from Kjellberg. Into the backhand. Breathing down his neck here. The man in red. Desperation. It just died on him and it's two game points. To Korea yesterday. He fit to beat Lin Shidong for the first time in his life. Having already lost the team tie. Two years ago. He's just a little bit too passive here. In terms of general approach. Nice touch from Shidong. Wide loop. Yeah. He's just handcuffing Kjellberg. You'd roar at him and get him fired up. For Lin Shidong it's about trying. That will force Anton back into your backhand. This is it. It's two-all dive for Kjellberg. And that was murderous again from Kjellberg. 4-7. He stepped in. I love it. I love that from Lin Shidong though. And play the backhand counter. Here we go. To finish this. To nip this in the bud and close the curtains. Maybe he does the sweep. Oh my word. Anton Kjellberg. Simply stunning. What a point to do it as well. A one-two combo that echoed around the OVO Arena Wembley. Anton Kjellberg. Team Sweden. Elias Ranneford. Truls Morgaard.
