Today on the 29th July 2012 saw the one of the best table tennis matches in Olympic history when USA's Ariel Hsing took on China's World number 2 Li Xiaoxia! Ariel Hsing (below) at a mere age of 16 years just produced the performance of a lifetime taking 2 sets off Li Xioaxia in the Excel Arena! Li Xioaxia won by 4 sets to 2 with scores: 11-4, 9-11, 11-6, 6-11, 11-8, 11-9 at the London 2012 Olympics. The futures bright for Ariel Hsing of the USA!

Ariel's supreme backhand attack dominated the table against Li Xiaoxia. Throughout the match it was level, both players producing the highest quality of table tennis! Li just clinched the last two sets 11-8, 11-9. The Chinese super stars experience prevailed. Li Xioaxia will now face Park Miyoung of Korea in the last 16!

Ariel will go away from the London 2012 Olympics with her head held high. Ariel still has the team event which will be played next week
