In the men's singles final of the 2014 World Cup, Zhang Jike narrowly defeated Ma Long 4-3. However, judging from the past record of the two men, Ma Long has the upper hand with 11 wins and 6 losses. Of course, no matter who ultimately wins this game, it will make history. If Zhang Jike completes his defense, he will achieve the second round of the Grand Slam after the London Olympics, which is unique in the history of the world table tennis world; if Ma Long wins, he will become the first super Grand Slam men's player in history to combine the Olympic Games, World Championships, World Cup, Asian Games, Asian Championships, Asian Cup, Tour Finals and National Games singles championships. In the first game, Zhang Jike used his forehand to score the lead, but his three return shots went out of bounds brought the score to 3. Subsequently, Zhang Jike, who was slightly slow to warm up, made successive mistakes. His several ineffective returns widened the difference to 4 points, and the score once reached 8-4. But since then, Zhang Jike began to gradually regain his form. He used his good forehand smash to chase for 5 points in a row and beat the score back. Subsequently, the game entered a stalemate stage, and the two also missed the game point. When the score came to 12th, Zhang Jike pulled the ball out of bounds twice in a row, allowing Ma Long to win the first game 14-12. In the second game, the two sides contributed a wonderful attack after drawing 2. This attack also became a turning point in this game. Ma Long, who had the last laugh in consecutive spikes, took the initiative after that, and then his two strong forehand spikes brought the difference to 5 points. 9-4 Later, Zhang Jike's return failed to cross the net, which completely lost the suspense of the game. In the end, Ma Long ended the second game with a trademark strong forehand spike. 11-5, Ma Long fell one more city in the total score, leading 2-0. At the beginning of the third game, both sides took advantage of each other's mistakes to draw at 3. Then, Ma Long, who became more and more brave as the battle progressed, took the lead with two forehand kills. Although Zhang Jike's spike was even more sharp in the subsequent competition, the resulting mistakes were also many. In contrast, Ma Long, who is playing steadily, continues to expand his advantages step by step. With another wave of continuous sideways attacks from both sides and Zhang Jike's return shot out of bounds, Ma Long continued to maintain his suppression of his opponent. In the end, Ma Long won the third game 11-4, leading 3-0 in total. At the beginning of the fourth game, Ma Long took a 3-0 lead. Zhang Jike, who was lagging behind in both the score and the game points, quickly chose to pause. After catching up with the score a little, Zhang Jike made continuous mistakes and lost points in the middle stage, and Ma Long took an 8-3 lead. At this time, the momentum had completely tilted towards Ma Long, winning 6 gold medal points in 10-4. In the end, Ma Long made a beautiful counter-pull and won the final 4-0. In the third and fourth finals held earlier, Japanese star Hayashi Mizutani defeated Belarusian veteran Samsorov 4-1 and won the bronze medal in the men's singles. The scores in the five games were 11-4, 11-9, 6-11, 14-12 and 11-8 respectively. Following yesterday's third and fourth finals of the women's singles, when "Porcelain Baby" Ai Fukuhara missed a medal, Mizutani Hayashi's precious bronze medal became the first Olympic table tennis singles medal in Japanese history. Samsorov played with an injury and finally finished fourth. The 40-year-old is equally worthy of respect.
