Never was a fan of Gauzy, but he completely deserved this victory. Also, I feel like those amazing tricky shots he made had its effect on XX's mind. XX always enjoys being the one who entertains the crowd, but in this game, Gauzy was the one who impressed.
I wouldn't say it was deserved.. he won at the end with a lucky net ball and to top things off he came into the game because xu xin was playing carelessly and gave a set away. It's 90% a loss of Xu Xin and 10% a win of Gauzy. I wouldn't call someone else choking the game away a deserved win. He was very lucky XX didn't finish him off and lost focus. It's more ff XX defeated himself I wouldn't call that a deserved win. A deserved win is were you dominate and your opponent can't come up with answers. This to me was more of a self destruction of xx than a win of Gauzy. You got to be real he was insanely lucky and took advantage of it. Painful loss for XX.
@@___Robin___ Simon is definitely the underdog, he needs tricky shots and perhaps luck to win, but that is not to say that he won by random shots and pure luck without any strategy. Simon's technique was amazing, usually XX is the one who wins far off table shots but here it was Simon. I always heard excuses like "lost focus", "not in his best shape", bored by these explainations. Simon's variations did mess up XX's play style.
Is this real life? As an European I'm so proud of Simon, I literally cant breathe when he won, creative and attacking style, never passive plays, Good game and well played
You cant have a better final than chinese vs chinese. Its absolutely the best table tennis you can see. If boll plays like against the japanese guy it would be an amazing final
Travelator I’m extremely happy for Simon since he’s one of my favourite players and the underdog in this match, but let’s not attribute any of the congratulatory feeling towards the fact that the final won’t be Chinese-Chinese. I understand that some people are tired of finals like that, but the final should be between two of the best players. Simon was simply the better player here, and that’s great, but a Chinese-Chinese final would have been awesome too because it’s best for table tennis to see two of the best in the tournament face-off. I hope Simon makes it to the final.
Simon Gauzy played like there is no tomorrow, what an exciting match and fantastic to watch! Respect to him and good luck in the next round ! Xu xin was undecided sometimes..
I think Xu did not expect much from Gauzy, knowing that the previous matches were not difficult for him at all. At 2:2 and 8:3 he (and many others) thought that is was over... Xu lost the match especially mentally, wondering about Gauzy's astonishing shots Insane match with incredible tension
Gauzy was able to keep xu xin from getting into rallies quite well. His backhand flip catches a ton of side spin, attacking it from the side of the ball, which looks to have gave XX a lot of trouble.
Xu Xin is definitely a freak.. a lefty pen-holder walking on the clouds.. only an amazing talented player as Gauzy, with so many original shots and brave tactics could beat him! A dream came true for the frenchman, and some hope for European supporters.. the China- rest of the world gap is closing up...what an incredible match!!
Gauzy's use of the strawberry flick receive made it really hard for Xu Xin to get in quality attacks. His lobs, chops and counterattacks away from the table were really good too. Big win for him.
I wait for a game like this all my life. A brain killer game. Not that Ma Long, Fan Zendong and others amazing fast rally games, but one that you see the minds boiling. Gauzy is the Dumbledore of table tennis, aways a new trick on the table...and today he did what he knows best, magic on the table. Congratulations Cloud Walker and Simon Dumbledore Gauzy.
XU XIN is my favorited player, best I have to congratz Simon cause his performance tonight is amazing! If he can keep his tension in such high level he can definitely go for a medal or even championship.
Simon! Great Win. Great to see Patrick Chila, as well. Simon no doubt knows about and has seen Chila's great feeling & creativity. He has a little of it himself. That big bending side spin being a perfect example. Viva Chila & Simon!!
My new idol with these extraordinary spins that made a lot of problems his opponent , Xu Xin. And in this match I see one thing- Simon is not arrogant, he's very calm and plays very well. I want to see Simon plays this way always . Really very good job. Number two on the world must finish his adventure in single in this world championships. Incredible. For me this is a big surprise . Congratulations Simon !!! Greetings from Poland!!!
Ptain Gauzy tu fais rêver, tu seras peut être jamais premier mondial, tu gagneras peut être pas ces championnats du monde, mais merci pour tout! Montre à tout le monde que c'est bien toi le n1 français, faut retrouver ce niveau fantastique sur la durée!
to say xu's forehand isn't working right is one thing, but man!!! some of those amazing placements by Simon, and the strong fighting spirit in loop battles! he deserves the win!
Can't believe people are actually sad over this. For the longest time, it was China v China in the final again and again and again, and once finally something different happens, people start getting salty. This is the best thing that happened in TT for very, very long time.
Gauzy's prediction of Xuxin's shots was impressive.. He was always at the right places at right time.. Gauzy was hitting shots which we usually see Xu Xin hit and connet most of times
Gauzy taking great risks with ripping backhands, strawberries , fantasy receivs(chop block chop whatvever) and keeping rallys short paid off. Also his banana placement into body or wide foerhand was excellent, which got XX into bad positions to loop and got Gauzy the chance to attack. In general XX is unbeatable in pure looping, but he was getting shaky as realised he could loose this game. And His receiving can be considered as weak today and almost almost NO RPB to put pressure on to gauzy.
The Chinese players usually win through in these tight pressure moments because of a positive mindset and rock solid technique. Gauzy refused to capitulate and stood up to Xu Xin's best shots. He proved the Chinese can be beaten.
When Xu Xin was outspinned.🤓🤓 Xu Xin always go down in big events and doesn't know how to deal with high pressure. Ma Long and Zhang Jike will always be ahead.they have super confidence.
When you see Xu xin got un-top-10ed, you know there's something going wrong. I don't think it's tech or non forced errors but rather tactic and mindset. Career highlight for Simon and wish him the best in the upcoming matches.
Bravo Simon....ta prestation face au "number one " de l'empire du milieu prouve que tu es au même niveau, euhhhh non, je reformule: tu le surpasses ! BRAVO encore, et bont vent pour la suite ...
Je suis française, donc je suis contente pour Simon, et impressionnée... but I love so much Xu Xin & I hope he will be world champion or olympic champion !
Great game.I expected Xu Xin to have cakewalk. Quite the opposite. Simon kept the momentum going.Some of his returns were real classic.Especially backhand blocks and even away from the table returns.
nice game. i know xu xin has a very nice backhand, although he plays penholder, but its limited in angles compared to a normal style. in the next few years he might get in trouble, as players adapting to it. look at simons legs this game. he looks very well in form.
Enjoy!
thanks..

Gauzy's returns of Xu Xin's serves were absolutely stunning. Most players have trouble with Xu Xin's serves.
Congrats Simon for doing what we've all been waiting for 16 years: A guaranteed silver medal for the rest of the world.
U r absulately right
I am a chinese, but chinese against chinese in final, no fun, no excitement no fire.

Simon Gauzy played like there is no tomorrow, what an exciting match and fantastic to watch! Respect to him and good luck in the next round !
Xu xin was undecided sometimes..
what kind of energy ?! What game is this?! Best tournament game !!! Simon congratulations!)))
So far!!
I think Xu did not expect much from Gauzy, knowing that the previous matches were not difficult for him at all. At 2:2 and 8:3 he (and many others) thought that is was over...
Xu lost the match especially mentally, wondering about Gauzy's astonishing shots
Insane match with incredible tension
Very well said.. Xu xin losing the game that too having a 5 points' lead is a rare moment.
Exactly what I thought!
WHAT AN AMAZING MATCH!!
You can be so proud Simon!
6:16 when the opposing (Chinese) coach smiles and applauds your shot, you know it's gotta be good.
No he was clapping for xu xin coz there he attempted a hard shot . Btw if ur right xu xin would be mad
@@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i usually when you are supporting a player you are clapping your hands. So you are right
@@yorunoxx4788 Right on brother ✊
Leading 8-3 and lost the game
Stay focused XX!
Great performance by Gauzy.
On my opinion the coach had to call "time out" in that game
Gauzy was able to keep xu xin from getting into rallies quite well. His backhand flip catches a ton of side spin, attacking it from the side of the ball, which looks to have gave XX a lot of trouble.
@@trevorkoch8911 yes XX definitely underestimated Simon's side spin.
He completely avoided using his backhand. Can't win in today's game doing that
@@warmshizzle I disagree Xu Xin has done that many times! Definitely harder against his teammates but with his footwork it can be done.
Simon Gauzy has showed great control, creativity, excellent strategy and concentration.
13:50 even waldner would be proud of this block!
June 2020... still asking myself how did he block it, with his racket wide open (not closed as we usually do on topspin) 🙄🙄
Incredible match !! Simon Gauzy was awesome and Xu Xin could do anything !! Congratulations and keep your hard work Simon Gauzy🇨🇵🇨🇵

Wow I didn't see that coming! And 10:44 Calderano move attempt 😄
Tries to do like his friend 😆
I found it really funny when he tried the 2 hand backhand :) inspiration from team mate Hugo Calderano.
Not even close. They are from different continents !
@@yor781 I hope this is a joke. Ochsenhausen.
They actually play together in leagues so Juan is right
Oh ok. Oh I was thinking of the national team. Many pros from different countries play in clubs together so that's what u meant
The creativity of Gauzy was the thing Xu Xin couldn't deal with ;)
Gauzy playing like he's top 10 again, holy I watched this live and this match was so exciting
10:23 and 10:30
Exactly the same plays but flipped 😱
Gauzy's use of the strawberry flick receive made it really hard for Xu Xin to get in quality attacks. His lobs, chops and counterattacks away from the table were really good too. Big win for him.

Congratulations Cloud Walker and Simon Dumbledore Gauzy.
In fact, Xu Xin is the one who is doing all those tricks successfully.
XU XIN is my favorited player, best I have to congratz Simon cause his performance tonight is amazing! If he can keep his tension in such high level he can definitely go for a medal or even championship.
Amazing Gauzy, one of the most creative players in Europe! Congrats! Hoping to see the european quarter finals...
This is incredible for European table tennis! Wow!
finally gauzy could beat xu xin, so proud of him. Good job to the french team. Greetings
Wow Great back and forth action. I am French and Xu Xin is my favourite player. This vid just made my day. Allééé.
你永远是我心里的唯一，爱你，大昕哥。。😭😭😭
I loved Gauzy's game today. Pure passion!
Unbelievable. What a match. Xu was the favorite to win this match but Gauzy surprised. Xu xin's supporter but happy for Gauzy. Keep going Simon
Gauzy played strategically by giving soft returns to the backhand side of XX while giving speed and power once it goes to the forehand side.
indeed he played the old way, short return and variations. I think that s how you should played chinese guys who are too good at top-counter top
Great strategy from Gauzy. Keep attacking Xu's forehand and lots of short balls(great control).
Simon's coach looks and appears so much more helpful and polite
Simon! Great Win. Great to see Patrick Chila, as well.
Simon no doubt knows about and has seen Chila's great feeling & creativity. He has a little of it himself. That big bending side spin being a perfect example. Viva Chila & Simon!!
whoever win this match, simon's play is fun to watch. superv control and agility.

I am afraid this is the final WTTC for Xu Xin.
I am too
Then he trained some and became the best
Great match, Gauzy had a very good day. Thanks @ITTF for not uploading the potato quality video of this match.

Very enjoyable to watch unlike matches with only very short rallies
Can't believe people are actually sad over this. For the longest time, it was China v China in the final again and again and again, and once finally something different happens, people start getting salty. This is the best thing that happened in TT for very, very long time.
Quelle performance ! Bravo, Simon !
De très loin le joueur le plus complet du ping Français, une pure merveille de toucher et d'intelligence tactique.
Simon is confident in far distances. Xu Xin forgot his backhand in this match.

Awesome game that with Simon giving XX a taste of his own medicine with all that wizardry..! Keep goin Gauzy!!!!
