No, she just got old. TT players try to retire while they're still at their highest ranking they think they can reach. That is unless you're Ma Long and just never gets old 😅
We can't say there is no difference because the styles they evolved are very different. But that doesn't mean that the men have the advantage because these styles really work well against each other (women play with more consistent flat shots that are hard for men to receive). If there is an advantage, it's very small, and easily able to be overcome with some training.
Liu had ultimate leg movement and her reaction is out of this world. Inspiring.
Thanks for that, I love watching male VS female matches. Very inspiring as female style is always very different from male.
My pleasure!
chinese national women team ～ chinese province men team ～ USA national men team
In my opinion this is normal, that Liu Shiwen is winner... Good match 🙂
She is still on top why did she retire is it because of what happened in Tokyo.

Liu siuwen, tough female players
I thought Liu Shiwen had retired from active competition
She's retired.
高质量的比赛！！
前3局劉用對付女對手的辦法，打站位、打控制，但發現不大好使，後來改用男性打法，發球後找機會搶攻，程度差異就顯現出來了。
liu shiwen 너무 잘해요 ㅎㅎ
How embarrassed the man was to loose to a woman! Lol
Huge gulf in class.
Quién ganó?
Quién gano
There's no difference between men and women in TT.
No point pretending there is.

Yeah there is huge difference. Women stood no chance. Put them in male TT and they won't get even close to top 100.
