These kind of times happin alot with Xu Xin, first 2 games where too easy. He tries to land some fancy shots and hes 2-3 behind. Then still strugles in the 6th set but manages to win it and then he wins the last set easily
Xu Xin played Gao Ning so differently from Ma Long. He made so limited use of his backhand loops, one wonders if he was reserving it specially for Ma Long! LOL! His close-to-the-table play was almost nonexistent here whereas it featured quite prominently in Xu Xin's game against Ma Long. That's very interesting, perhaps Xu Xin felt his backhands did not pose a threat to Gao Ning so he decided to play a game almost entirely based on his forehand alone? Gao Ning played against the quintessential Xu Xin style, whereas Ma Long faced a completely different beast.
Gao Ning is very suited against the Xu Xin who plays entirely based on his forehand, cause as a blocker he can choose to return the balls to wide angles for Xu Xin to move around; although of course Xu Xin has the best footwork in the world. Anyways, Ma Long clearly adopts the blocker style against Xu Xin.
What a great fight by Gao Ning.
Best of Gao Ning!!!
Gao Ning, you are super ! Don't give up ! You are getting stronger !
Gao should have played more often a ball down the line, would make such a big difference but even if he lost, he played very well

In set 1, Score board seems wrong ???

just a few errors at the end of game 6th ... otherwise, Gao Ning has a chance to move to the next round !!! :)
Gao 9 -11 XU. so unfortunately..
Lol... Gao Ning did some crazy angles lol... but I guess hes too old to put more speed on those balls
