Fan's match against Harimoto was a big wake up call for him. Harimoto wake up the beast in Fan. Fan was in beast mode to crush Lebrun. This was by far the best match I see him play for a very very long time. He is better than he was in the last Olympic. I am totally surprised by his match today. Just unbelievable level through out the match and no drop off in form or concentration.
I mean there are already many other players who has beaten Felix like Jang Woo Jin or Hugo Calderano, it's no surprise for Fan Zhendong to beat Felix, even Timo Boll almost beat Felix in their last encounter 3-4 and Timo is old
@@Starrynova Yes, when Fan plays up to his potential he would have been too much for Lebrun, but Fan has more up and down over the last two years, he was struggling with a back injury and motivation over the past years. There were great discussion in China of dropping him out of the single competition, since he has not won a major title for the last year. Ma Long for example was 2nd ranked Chinese player with World Cup victory recently. Liang Jin Kun won the major title in Korea and was rp in Singapore Smash. Fan Zhendong that showed up in the semi is nothing like the one even compare to the last Olympic.
@@david0ade Yes, there are but we have to judge Fan's form this year before this Olympic. Do you follow TT if you do you should know Fan also lost to Calderano, Lin Shi Dong, Lin Gao Yuan and Franciska
Felix is only 17, the fact that he can match the speed of a top player means that in the future, he could be a strong opponent for China. Look forward to see that
well this boi didn't even have an actual sparring partner in the national team 🤣I notice that this soil fact isn't even mentioned here...Fan even tried to just stay in the gym and tried to play with any random foreign players between their own training sessions during WTT...... I believe that's the reason why I respect him so much...
Chinese national team is putting much more effort into Wang ChuQing....I gotta say that Fan doesn't have any interest in illegal serve hhhh and maybe that's the reason why he could never made it this far...
That's right, FZD is humble in triumph and defeat, I sincerely wish FZD to take the gold medal. Es correcto, FZD es humilde en la triunfo y en la derrota, de corazón deseo que FZD se lleve la medalla de oro.
Félix commented there was no way he could have beaten FZ this day, and that he could feel no pressure from this defeat. Instead, he would concentrate on triyng to win the bronze medal.
Well having experienced playing both Wang Hao and Xu Xin and being coached by the RPB maestro, Wang Hao, himself, there was no way FZD would lose to Felix.
Felix is beatable by fist in his face by many PPL but when on the table with a paddle there is only one or two hand full of men that could. Already achieved this at only 17. If he plays until 35, who knows what'll bei possible for this talent.
Guys! with so many weaknesses stated by XuXin about Felix PenHold style, Felix powerfully could reach Semi-Final!! I am sure he will soon destroy any opponent! as I mentioned 3 years ago here on Mr.Emratche Channel.
I think people underestimate how "close" it was for a french 17yo to almost match FZD in probably the best form we've ever seen him. The sheer speed of each ball in this match was just insane. FZD just had an edge every game, but I wouldn't call that "easy". Felix lacks the maturity and mental strength to grind the important points I think. He either dominates or he loses.
I mean there are already many other players who has beaten Felix like Jang Woo Jin or Hugo Calderano, it's no surprise for Fan Zhendong to beat Felix, even Timo Boll almost beat Felix in their last encounter 3-4 and Timo is old

Felix play like chineses people and FZD know perfectly this game . Two players know how play FDZ ,harimoto and alexis Lebrun, but alexis dont discover everything
@@bayern1806Yea lol Trules Lucked his way to the final only to be greeted by the GOAT 🐐 Fan Zhen Dong and proceeded to get destroyed 4-0 By Fan Zhen Dong 😂😂😂

Harimoto is much stronger than Lebrun. You can’t compare them.

Xu xin probably prepared fan for this match and gave him tips on penhold points making things easy
bro, his coach is wanghao
Well Felix plays more like Wang Hao not Xu Xin.
@@Wendaiko-jf6et now imagine being studied by wang hao as your opponents coach and bringing in more tips from xu xin😂😂
That's right, FZD is humble in triumph and defeat, I sincerely wish FZD to take the gold medal.

Wang Chuqin's loss has put all pressure on him turning him into monster.
He beat the same way he beat Haromito, balls in the middle of the table to avoid his strong backhand
Félix commented there was no way he could have beaten FZ this day, and that he could feel no pressure from this defeat. Instead, he would concentrate on triyng to win the bronze medal.
5:35 Comme on, XU XIN !! You can’t even defeat Adam Bobrow 😅 (just kidding)
🤣🤣🤣

how come there's no highlights at all this Olympic
Lebrun was trying to out-chinese the chinese player, almost impossible. You have to disrupt Fan's play to win
Highlight match please

This is not the real video. Stop making it.
Practice for FZD
Just gotta keep the rhythm to the final.
because his paddle was not broken...
Wang Hao still his coach!!!
Guess, he is just stronger, very simple)
