Table Top: Ma Long staged a big comeback 3-2 to narrowly defeat Sweden world runner-up Thrilling to win the opener

The 2023 Table Tennis Super League has begun, Beijing time on the evening of July 15 ushered in a focus showdown, the national table tennis Grand Slam veteran Ma Long appeared, and the only foreign association contestant, Sweden world runner-up Moregaard competed, the result of the two sides played 5 games to divide the winner, and finally Ma Long completed the reversal 3-2 and won the victory with difficulty.

At present, it seems that the athlete Moregaard does have strong strength, and now he also comes to China to "learn from the experience" like his predecessor, Grand Slam Waldner, and may be able to go to a higher level, worthy of everyone's attention!

Moregaard is the only foreign aid in this year's Table Tennis Super League, born in 2002, he is 14 years younger than Ma Long, has previously won masters such as Liang Jingkun, and won the runner-up in the men's singles in the 2021 World Table Tennis Championships, which can be regarded as an outstanding existence among athletes from foreign associations.

Technically, Malone is obviously more well-rounded and stable than Moregaard, but on the one hand, he is close to 35 years old, and his physical fitness is certainly not comparable to that of young people; On the other hand, Moregaard's path is more weird, and it is difficult to predict as the old tiles of the year, and if you play well, you can often play with small and broad and unexpected effects, so this battle is indeed a test for veterans.

After the start of the game, Malone quickly took the initiative on the field, constantly suppressed Moregaard's hand, and obtained 3 innings points through tight control. In the face of the disadvantage, Moregaard did not give up lightly, chasing consecutive points to 10-10 draws, while Malone made a lot of senseless mistakes, but instead lost a city 13-15, which was a pity.

However, as a veteran of the game, Malone also has outstanding self-regulation, and quickly countered in the second game to tie the score 11-5, and the two sides returned to the same running line.

In the third game, the two played inextricably, but Malone began to counterattack after the start of the game, and once again took the lead 10-8 to get the game point and was chased by the opponent to only 1 point, and then called a timeout to adjust. Back in the ring, Malone contained Moregaard's counterattack and won 11-9, leading 2-1 to push his opponent into a corner.

In the fourth game, Moregaard again came to power, dragging the match into the tiebreaker 11-8. At the beginning of the fifth game, it was still chasing me, and at the crucial moment, Malone suddenly strengthened the quality of the attack, and finally solved the battle easily 11-4, resulting in a big 3-2 victory.

Not easy, congratulations to Mallon!
