This year's German Open was very exciting to watch, probably one of the best Pro-Tour stops thus far. In the MS semifinals, Ma defeated Russian Alexei Smirnov 4-0. Smirnov has a very good backhand that he used very effectively against Ma, but the outcome was never in doubt. Ma was in control of that match. The other semifinal was exhilarating: Samsonov vs Kreanga. Lots of long rallies, tremendous shot-making and comebacks, and the crowd was very enthusiastic. Samsonov won a tight match to face Ma in the finals. With the score at 1-1, Samsonov got a 7-3 lead, but in this match no lead was safe. Ma caught up at 8-all, and went on to win that game 11-8. In the 3rd game, Samsonov raced to an apparently safe lead of 10-5, and everyone expected the match to be tied. The video clip contained the rest of that game.
