All I hear when Xin wins a point is him shouting, "JONNY!"... and when Samsonov wins a point, "PAUL!" Hahaha xD

[@Zack-pc6vn]

I'm glad Xu Xin won his first major world title!

It is so unbelievable that just one year before, Xu Xin is defeated by Vladimir Samsonov, even got

No Problem :)

[@danieleneltubo]

Thank you TtLondon!!
Good match by Samsonov, But XX is younger and faster..
Excellent placement for Vlady!

[@AmazingGames1990]

Also, I really admire the defensive skills of Samsonov.

[@pmckilho]

Great match.

[@dxuhuang]

well deserved victory for Xu Xin, but it would have been more worthwhile had Ma Long and/or Zhang Jike been playing as well. Xu Xin has yet to demonstrate that he can match those two on the biggest of stages...

[@denb.5008]

Best defence is atack! Xu Xin the best respect!

[@perniciousnc]

i think this is a relatively easier final for xx, since technically he is definitely in control, as long as he got his mentality straight, he would have no problem. but it's great that he has got thru these mentality challenge, since if he lost, he would prob dont have many chances again
samsonov's return is just insufficient to pose threats to the chinese players. xx can be so comfortable when he got his 2 services.
it's amazing that samsonov is still entering the final!! thanks for sharing
