WTTC 1999 Highlights: Liu Guoliang vs Ma Lin (Final)

Liu Guoliang was more emotional when Ma Long/Xu Xin/Zhang Jike scores a single point

Yeahh, that was the beginning of Ma Lin's career!!! Yeahh, Ma Lin is the best!!!

If you dont now. Before 2001 it was used to play 3 sets to 21 points in one set

does anyone know which rubber (FH) liu was using in this final?

I cant believe ma lin is using rpb at that time

Its good to play close to the table

Thats why Liu won

Young Ma Lin was more defensive than older Ma Lin.

Still a great game to watch after all this years and I have the full game on video

This Game is for LGL,despite the errors....with GREAT emotion at the end...hands off coach

I Love Liu's style. I wish i could be a penhold pips hitter.

Ma Lin used a lot of RPB in this match o_O. I thought it was something he adopted after Wang Hao made it popular. I guess RPB dates back further than I thought

on ne voit plus les chinois hurler la victoire quand ils jouent entre eux ces dernières années... Quel match !

Astonishing!

What a talented! In that time Ma lin was just 19 years old but can defeat the great Waldner in semi final and then almost take a title in final. so sad for him :(

I wish ITTF would go back to this angle, better view of the game

that was some serious hard hitting from short pips

Seeing this match, you can already imagine Ma Lin becoming world champion :(

liu already used the reverse side i wonder wheter he thought that this style yould become that sucessful(wang hao,and now also xu xin)

omg how good they're.I dont think if today's generation could match their standard
Amazing! !

great match, great players

enjoy !!!

poor to.Malin, many times in the final Wttc but not get single one.

The 38mm ball looks too small, like a tiny pea. The 40mm ball was a good innovation by ITTF, till they inforced us playing the plastic. Plastic ball is some turd, sorry.

SHORT PİPS RULES

Ma Lin was only 19 at this stage. on his was too the final he won over Kin Taek-Soo, Vladimir Samsonov and Jan-Ove Waldner

刘指导这个发球真的鬼，胳膊一档旋转全靠猜

调右压左，以暴制暴，没有最快，只有更快。

Who’s ma Lin? Who’s liu gouliang?

LGL serve looks cool :D

这俩位谁赢了就是大满贯（如果不影响之后的比赛的话）

it was like seeing 2017 wttc final

When pen hold lead the world...

If Waldner would reached the final i dont think he could beat Liu Guoliang back then, it took more time for Waldner to adjust to Liu style, he was so fast and strong in both sides

この大会は好カード好ゲーム多くて面白いんだよな✨もっとこの大会の動画上げて欲しい！

Wondering if we'll ever see a WTTC final between penholders again!!

Liu was using Stiga Clippa on his forehand and Mendo on his backhand.

LGL is adorable. haha.

🎉

Wow,what a game..genius game by both ma lin & lgl .seldom watch malin being overpowered from his forehand attack & force to be in a defence position,but i guess the pips block from lgl cause the issue..

多半是让球，这种打5局一般都是输的那一方借此表示一下，我并不比你差。

不懂球的胖子😅

Guoliang was very aggressive and had Ma Lin way back from the table many times.

!!!!!!

Ma’s serve is very undeveloped at this point. Liu can often loop or drive the second ball relatively aggressively with great comfort.

Liu Guoliang muhteşem oyun ve zafer. Liu Forehand çok iyi, sonrasında yetiştirdiği öğrenci xu xin de aynı kendisi gibi yetiştirmiş. Ma long ve Liu guoliang ikisinin 25 yaşındaki halleriyle kapışmasını çok isterdim.

Лю го лян лучший теннисист за всю историю

Cara que jogaço 😮

Just watching this brings back so much memories

....по пять подач....Неужели это было?
