Once again we see that 39 is not retired age in table tennis. You have chances to win highest world class trophies at age of 39 if you want. Hou Yingchao once again confirmed that. Great efforts, great performance of the veteran. And interesting table tennis in this final match. A lot of it is because of the new LIGHTWEIGHT DHS balls, which is a little more lightweight than other usual heavyweight balls.

Hou Yingchao of course plays well, but these lightweight balls give him chance and give more interesting table tennis. Congratulation to Hou Yingchao, and beautiful table tennis. Japanese heavyweight balls, for example Nittaky balls, leaded table tennis to action contest, very bored and poor techniques, not game show. You should stop buy old heavyweight balls.

Not a doubles match but there’s some possibility we may see them play against each other in the coming season of T-League this year. HYC will play for Kinoshita Meister Tokyo, JSH will play for Ryukyu Asteeda. Let’s hope the matchup happens.
And now Hou Yingchao yells loudly: COME OUT you the DRAGON (Ma Long), you the BEAST (FZD), and you the CLOUD WALKER (Xu Xin). I am tired of these small crispies.
Haven't enjoyed tt in last 2 years like this... Hou ying Chou u hav made my day I love u. So happy to see a chopper beat Lang and then the super talented wang.this is epic
I'm not surprised. You need big leg strength to beat a good chopper. Otherwise your slow loops only set him up for kills. These youngsters have great reflexes, they are dominant in over-the-table counter rallies, but don't have the big power yet for 3rd ball attack and especially looping underspin. These youngsters can beat Xu-Xin but Xu-Xin would destroy HYC.
@@marcoborrillo8097 okay so Wang's forehand is one of the three strongest forehand in the world! Also you're contradicting yourself, Xu Xin legs aren't bigger than Wang's! It does help to have bigger legs but form is mainly what's needed.
This is a great result for Hou and an inspiration for defenders young and older. Lovely technique, great to watch, amazing side and backspin. Poise, patience and control. There's a certain mystique about a good defender especially in the modern game. Moreover, these defenders play the traditional pips out rubbers. Rubbers that have been around long before smooth rubbers with thicker sponges. Long live defenders. Enriching the sport of table tennis. 😁🤘
oh my dear god， i believe no one could ever think about a man who is not a leading player in his active time， could win the chinese national titles in his 39 yrs old after retiring so many years，including 2 of the top 5. But he made，what an amazing result.
Incredible ...Wang was in the biggest moments of his life..to lost 3 - 0 in front of this guy , and the last set at 11-2 , its simply mind blowing ..how is this possible? And also , this guy won in front of Liang who won in front of Lin Gouyan ...so, this guy is an ET or something ...Big Respect.
Ben TheKeeshond you can check out his vids in youtube, there are a lof of them. Hou was from the generation along with Malin and Wang Liqin.He ever once played in WTTC in 2007. So don't mess with Hou :))))
The guy is not a "no name", he's just no longer playing in ITTF or majors as he used to be. But the fact he won the CNC at 39 years old. Congratulations, it's definitely something to remember.
Many people don't know about Hou Yingchao. He's one of the superb chopping style in China. Even top players of CTTA can't win on him. CONGRATS ON THE WIN!
After playing 6 close sets with Ma Te earlier that day, WCQ was drained of energy! 2 choppers a day is too much... Nevertheless, great performance by Hou Yingchao!
I mean, chuqin is young, his opponent is a retired 39 yo who also played tough matches and was probably more fatigued as he's no longer a young active circuit player. So that excuse doesn't fly. Imagine playing a 68 yo player and saying you're tired in the final of say a B grade. Hao said wang was a bit injured which is a better excuse than fatigue.
Amazing side spin. That's the kind of variety I want to see in the international competition! Hopefully table tennis grows more in variety like back in the 2000s when we had choppers (Joo Se Hyuk and Panagiotis Gionis), penholders (Ma Lin, Wang Hao and Xu Xin) and a variety of SH players.
Wang Chuqin just completely went psychologically bankrupt in game 4. Something about lacking mental toughness. Hou Yingchao on the other hand won mentally more than anything else! Credit to him for hanging tough in the first and third game
Congratulations for Hou !!!! Hou killed his spirit of fight. What it means good, experienced chopper. Immortal skills . He's a very strong physically and with good footwork; and those his spectacular sidespins; nice to watch:)
Hang on, where is Xu Xin? He would have dealt with either chopper. Wang got discouraged when all his loops came back loaded either with underspin or sidespin. It's a marathon. He has to keep going no matter what. Once he got discouraged, it was all over. But still got to congratulate Hou Yingchao, nearly 40 years old.
When I saw the title I was stunned that Hou Y.C. is still around. Very entertaining match to say the least, a lot of Hou's points were won by traditional chopping. His opponent doesn't seem to be used to play choppers.
incroyable !!! Je pensais pas qu'il etait aussi fort Hou Yingchao c'est un mur !!!! Il joue a un plus haut niveau que Joo See Hyuk sur ce championnat et ce match

Does anyone knows what kind of rubber is he using I think hi is using dhs hurricane classic blade with dianchi d on forehand on the backhand I am not sure tsp spectol?
Hou was the “bad boy” of CNT and he was banned by CCTA, forcing him to play in (and play for) foreign countries. But today he gave a fitting reply after so many years with his bad ass form.
@@flagella1337 www.theage.com.au/sport/no-allowances-for-love-games-20040110-gdx358.html I heard from my Chinese friends there are other unpublished scandals too involving Hou.
Hou is a table tennis sportscaster who happens to be better than the professional players on the court! Imagine that Bob Costas shows up in the Olympics 100 meter final and beat Usain Bolt!
wow, that's a lot of sidespin that Yingchao uses. He uses it on his forehand topspin loops and on his backhand chops. Supposely Chuqin was suffering from pain in his shoulder.
@@travelator3035 The same with Wang Chuqin, Liang J., and these 2 guys still play here. This tournament is China National Championship. Are they not China Nationals?
After the contest, Hou said Wang got some injure in the last game, so he couldn't give his forehand full power and control. Therefore his strategy is to give him more forehand. And he said: Wang is a good player, it's lucky for me to win by this condition.
After mainland China ousted him years ago, he came back with a vengeance, now the top players has to be nervous by now. Congrats my fellow defender....
An extraordinary and well deserved win for Hou. Even though I don't think he would beat the really big guns of China, in this form he would run surely them close. The younger national players seemed bamboozled by his variation off the short pimples- the ability to add more backspin against heavy loop or push (more than long pimps can) and then to be able to float with it coupled with an explosive forehand was a winning combination. What with Falck showing how good they can be to flat attack with maybe short pimps will be the next big thing (again!)
And I thought choppers didn't have future. Maybe it was coincidence, but, Hou has shown remarkable athleticism and skills. Maybe, chopping has future, if you play short pips on your backhand. I mean, all these guys have a superb topspin shots, but, if you can vary the spin on chops, it becomes unpleasant for attackers. Maybe I start chopping with short pips and see what happens :)
@@felmusik5043 Well, I had my practice yesterday, and I had an opportunity to try Spectol on ALL wood. It is SO HARD to have decent control on chops. I really struggled with hard topspins. If you chop with LP technique, witch is straight down, the ball does go flatter, but it is hard to place it on table. If you chop with more open blade, you get back spin from hell, but, since I was a beginner in this, the ball lands too high on the table. I guess, it takes training, like anything else. I have Tibhar D'Tecs, 1.6mm and it can create high backspin even with plastic balls. And control is superb. When opponent tries drop shots, I simply twiddle and push the ball with inverted, or try to attack with pips
But, forgot to mention, I am more LP attacker than defender. Especially with plastic balls, you can not create more backspin with long pimples. From shorter distance, when you do chop block right of the bounce, it becomes tricky for your opponent. Long pips with sponge is better for attacking
One would expect more attacks from Hou's backhand side since he's using short pips, but he doesn't. I wonder why... That would make him even more unpredictable in his game. I find the the rubber he's using is A LOT easier to attack with than a mainstream long pip. A bit harder to manage the defensive bit, but not undoable. Another advantage is that you can make your own spin... most long pip rubbers do not perform that well
Wang played 2 choppers in a row, his left shoulder must be numb, Hou was lucky to be the 2nd chopper. Wang smashed much harder when he played Ma te. Poor guy.

@@felmusik5043 Yes- on the backhand. He can hit close to the table with it as well - no need to twiddle the bat like a long pimps player.
Imagine he would scream at the end: "Bring me Thanos ....!!! " ;-)
And I thought choppers didn't have future. Maybe it was coincidence, but, Hou has shown remarkable athleticism and skills. Maybe, chopping has future, if you play short pips on your backhand. I mean, all these guys have a superb topspin shots, but, if you can vary the spin on chops, it becomes unpleasant for attackers. Maybe I start chopping with short pips and see what happens :)
djhumantorch Tell us please
@@felmusik5043 Well, I had my practice yesterday, and I had an opportunity to try Spectol on ALL wood. It is SO HARD to have decent control on chops. I really struggled with hard topspins. If you chop with LP technique, witch is straight down, the ball does go flatter, but it is hard to place it on table. If you chop with more open blade, you get back spin from hell, but, since I was a beginner in this, the ball lands too high on the table. I guess, it takes training, like anything else. I have Tibhar D'Tecs, 1.6mm and it can create high backspin even with plastic balls. And control is superb. When opponent tries drop shots, I simply twiddle and push the ball with inverted, or try to attack with pips
djhumantorch d-tecs is very fast rubber I change it for Tsp 1.5 lp and is more slow but great control. So Spectol more underspin than long pips???
@@felmusik5043 Definitely more spin with short pis, they are similar to inverted
But, forgot to mention, I am more LP attacker than defender. Especially with plastic balls, you can not create more backspin with long pimples. From shorter distance, when you do chop block right of the bounce, it becomes tricky for your opponent. Long pips with sponge is better for attacking
One would expect more attacks from Hou's backhand side since he's using short pips, but he doesn't. I wonder why... That would make him even more unpredictable in his game. I find the the rubber he's using is A LOT easier to attack with than a mainstream long pip. A bit harder to manage the defensive bit, but not undoable. Another advantage is that you can make your own spin... most long pip rubbers do not perform that well
He play with his brain. He can cover all difficult ball easily. And send back heavy snake ball
Ma long, xu xin, fzd , were in this tournament?
No
They’re all in rehab mode right now after playing way too many tournaments this year
Wang played 2 choppers in a row, his left shoulder must be numb, Hou was lucky to be the 2nd chopper. Wang smashed much harder when he played Ma te. Poor guy.
2:10 Chuqin chopping XDdddd
