Ma long vs Timo Boll
Strategy
Pasquale Mule Asked 12 years ago
Hi Alois, do you have any clues for Timo Boll to defeat Ma Long?
Alois Rosario Answered 12 years ago
Hi George,
This is a tough ask. I think in general Boll needs to expose Ma Long's backhand side. He may be able to do this by going wide out to his forehand first. This is actually Ma Long's weaker forehand. He is very good when he has time to pivot and play a forehand from the backhand side.
He also needs to play extremely well. Even though the ball may be weaker from Ma Long's forehand it is still a good ball that he has to deal with and make a counter topspin or a good block.
