n for botak's post match analysis, highlight the space below... (won't want to spoil the results for those who wan watch)

Xu Xin won 3-2, from 0-2 down.

even though mlong won the 1st 2 games, it appears as if mlong was very much better prepared and much hotter than xx
actually, i kinda beg to differ
even from 1st 2 games, even when mlong won relatively comfortably, see his body language/facial expression, he seems quite worried n scared.
somehow can't shake off the shadow ard himself
but mlong still managed to win 1st 2 games, only cuz they both knew each other too well.... both just know exactly wat each other is playing, so during such situations, it's often the more all-rounded player tat'll win
which indeed, xx juz played his very normal game, his usual game with some added fire into it, but mlong juz nice counter. cuz he close eye aso noe wat xx is going to do
but the moment xx varies his game, from the simplest directional change from his usual habits, mlong straight away go blur often
even though mlong is indeed varying himself, but he certainly doesn't look comfortable in his own variations... he's not varying fluidly. more like..... qzj tell him change, wat to change, n he juz execute. din sense his own variation
for all 3, 4, 5th game, mlong actually leading at 1st
but xx juz slowly vary himself n chase back
often, towards the end, it's always xx tat goes ahead... tat definitely shows the pt on self-tactical-variation
deserved xx vicotry
although could have been better.

A lot of matches were uploaded to youtube. You can do a search (e.g. xuxin) and sort by Upload date. Video quality is a lot better over there. Enjoy!

Hi Thin Bert, maybe u want to take a closer look at how XX hold the bat, it is very clear in this video, at least when he is serving.

Malong seems to be pressurized. the commentary also say. hmm...one interesting thing from the commentary is that his backhand is better than malin, forehand better than wang hao

[Sakuragi]

but i believe his hand feeling is the best amount the younger generation.

:) :) :)

[ubergoonz]

his brain is even better then the younger generation, and he kind of remind me of a small boy we always lose.

[Sakuragi]

yes ... he also give me a kind of feeling like - who are u ??? 你是谁 ???

1/8 he win ML ,final meet HS, then semi he meet who ?
i would like to see him play with MaLin...then interesting.

:) :) :)
