Ma Long Unbeaten Against Ovtcharov As Chinese Stars Reach WTT Champions Semis
South Korean Shin Yu: China's table tennis veteran Ma Long eased past local star Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the quarterfinal clash at WTT Champions Frankfurt.
Despite 19 defeats against Ma, Ovtcharov still hoped to make a breakthrough in front of the home crowd at Suwag Energy Arena. However, the Chinese Olympic champion dominated the match 11-7, 11-7, 11-7 to book the semifinal spot.
"Dima (Ovtcharov) showed good quality in the previous rounds, but it's not my first time to play against him here in Germany. I'm ready for the home court pressure," said 35-year-old Ma. "I had a disappointing start of 1-5 in the third game, but Dima later made mistakes before I grabbed the chance to win."
