Closest match you have seen

Jakob TheUnknown Asked 10 years ago

Hello,

Which proffesional table tennis match is the closest one you have watched? Like 3-3 in games and 18-16? :)

I love to watch this kind of matches, Marcos Madrid vs Jens Lundqvist is good, but do you have watched another close matches?

Hi Jakob,

I wonder what the readers will come up with? Has anyone seen a really close match?

My favourite close match is Ma Long vs Zhang Jike in Austrian Open 2012. Both performed really well

See also zhang jike vs mizutani in 2010 the world cup or zhang jike vs wang hao at the world championship 2011. There are lots of those matches, you just need to search alittle bit more ;)

Atanas: i was asking for matches that ends at least 12-10 in the deciding game, not 11-4 (zhang jike-mizutani)

and wang hao-zhang jike ends 4-2. And if you say there are lots of close matches, please tell me more!

as far as older matches go, i thought the matches between werner schlager and kong linghui in 2003, and the one between samsonov and persson in 2008 olympics were very close.

about more recent ones, i thought the match between samsonov and kenta matsudaira in the wttc and against gionis panagiotis were really close.
