Fan Zhendong and Ma Long produced another remarkable encounter in a rematch of last year’s Olympic Games final in Tokyo. Fan took the first two games to take command of the match, but Ma took the next three to take the lead. Ma had a 6-1 lead in the sixth game and appeared to be on his way to triumph, but Fan fought back to force a tiebreaker and then held his nerve to win 11-6, 11-6, 6-11, 9-11, 8-11, 11-8, 11-7.
