Dimitrij Ovtcharov vs Fan Zhendong | 2020 ITTF German Open Highlights (1/4)

Fan Zhendong to serve. The Breaker watching another flash going off. Right back down. Full power. Touch and state. Just backing up a bit in that moment. Breakers because we have only one table. With as much Brekong beat him. Two game points to world number one. Right back to where it came. Oh, the backhand too wide. Good shot in. The long one. 2-0. Top edge of the racket. Gets away long. It was Fan Zhendong. And the short receive. It's not going to do much to shut down the third ball. What a counter the. Place to play rather than testing the wings. Deja. The timing. Wherever the world tour goes, Chinese fans are as well. I hope to see it be a close seven gamer. Backhand serve back out. Oh, back edge of the table. Reserving five. Long serve. And deep on the table. That is power. Winners at about 70 against most. Four tournaments. Pretty wide demographic of fans there. Chinese Super League jersey in the crowd. Zhendong. Only one needed 11 to 8. He love all. But this time Dima gets. Counter just long. Ball. Cush towel break just out of it. By one. Players on screen. Only one right now. Dima. China open. Beautiful counter. Just missing the car. Here in this city. Well, I've got to hand him one thing. He stayed calm throughout that point. Would have been easy to get anxious, especially with the backhand kick. Just. Oh, the opportunity was there for the. Must win every game for the rest of this match. These are the rallies that we look for Dima. The forehand flick kill comes in. Match continue would be exciting. Tends to be his pattern. Still seems like the closer fight to get into the backhand. Just missed times. Players, especially coming in over the table. Well now. It's over the years. This look like. Deep on the. We made shot in that rally. Still leading the pack. 9-7. Fan Zhendong. Tater. Just long. Forehand flick kill. Dima staying out of the timeout for Fan Zhendong. Oh, short side. Dima takes the risk. And surprise, surprise. It's tight serve in the parallel. Well, a 4-0. Deal with on the table. And the short side. It's for the speed to keep up with the best in the world. From that far behind. Break off the nets. That tight top. And the kick on this one. Speed up. 7-1 with the serves back on his side. Serve here for Dima. Little bit deeper on. Well, we are two serving nine. Just missed a fight through comeback. And the spin shot a game seven. But not yet. Start game seven with the serves. And that's why Fan Zhendong. Right into the body. Setting it up well with the serve. World number one with the serve. When he can play versatile like that, he's dangerous. Leans quite low to get around. Beautiful recovery here. Soft. And right into the box. But good. Serve drifts a little long. The receive. Hit for Dima. The backhand ties it up. But he's way in front of Franziska right now. Outstanding play on top of the bounce. The spin goes long. He looks. Just long. He carries. Oh, the counter-attack off. No, he doesn't.
