delet this topic please

I don't know who Par Gerrell is, but the game was quite interesting. I'm impressed that Par used similar backhand strategy as Timo Boll - since he is left handed, he went wide to the Ma Long's forehand using the backhand.

What was odd, is seeing slow loops instead of fast smashes that usually occur during this level of competition. The only obvious thing was that Par's forehand looked much weaker - spin, but no kill shot abilities. All his points were based on placement more than power.

oke

Ma did that to Par more than it was done to him, it works both ways

My friend, that is true skill, when you are worse prepared than your oponent, but still are able to withstand. I'm sure Par Gerell doesn't train as much as Ma Long does; it's like Waldner beat Ma Lin in 2004
