Agreed. Actually Mizutani played much more attacking in Rio, and he definitely produces better results when he plays like that. He gave Ma Long strong competition in the team match. But unfortunately he has gone back to his usual less aggressive style of late.
in your face LOL, if you actually watched the match, you would see that Boll turn most of Mizutani attacks back into his face. Even at Rio Ma Long also made almost all of Mizutani attack back into his face. I love how people look at the score and think "oh, Mizutani got 2 games from Ma Long, he was really good" but it was actually Ma Long dropping 2 games by making a few errors LUL
Inyourface if you think Jun was defensive here you really weren't watching! He went to Rio as a lobber/counter and he was way further off the table in Rio.
Reinaldo Pessoa Absolutely! My point was that - if that had been a singles competition even in Düsseldorf I would have considered the crowd rude. But in this case (team competition) it's normal. And Mizutani Jun looked much sharper here than recently!

boll's game has become so fluid recently really enjoyable to watch!
at the age of 37, timo is playing superbly... his stroke execution, placements, reflexes, and above all energy level is very impressive.
Beautiful match
ボル様何でこの歳でまた強くなってるんだろうなぁ…
I miss that 2016 Rio olympics Mizutani... Still a great match from Boll
Guingan Yann I don't see that much difference between matches from there and this one.
oh my god, agree.

Pure masterclass from Timo. Even today in 2018, Mizutani is still his bitch.
They both understand each other rhythm so well.
Timo still one of the best players!Bravo!
Wow Timo, nice! 3:26 is an amazing exchange of backhands!
水谷のプレイスタイルが早くなってる。フォアドライブが中陣からのループとバックのカウンターに対応取れてなかったけど、コース取り一つで勝てるラリーだった！めっちゃ強かった！
いや、殆どブロックではないですか？(；・∀・)
Joshua Rowe それでも昔はブロックよりも下がることが多かったし、今のスタイルいいと思いますよ
timo's backhand in this game is beautiful...
Great fight by Mizutani though💥 .. as we seen full crowd was supporting timo at that time ..
Eswar chandra Nutalapati very true probably home court.
Reinaldo Pessoa Yes, the match was played in Düsseldorf. And this is a team competition - therefore, the cheering is completely normal.
Christopher Mangels cheering is always normal dude! He was pointing out that no in crowd was cheering for Jun.

And Mizutani Jun looked much sharper here than recently!
Omg this shot at 5:42 😱
Timo is just amazing
Bravo Timo Boll - very high level tabletennis
A lovely amount of nets
Dan Klim Timo is known for that, people prepare themselves for the nets and edges from Timo when they play him.
Reinaldo Pessoa I know that
Reinaldo Pessoa yes, I was about to write that. Timo is the luckiest player I have seen in terms of nets and edges.
Skill is, when luck becomes a habit ;-)
Eni Bub yes that’s right, I also heard this sentence before now :)
The Butterfly homepage says that Mizutani is playing the Tenergy 80, is that right? I thought he was playing the Tenergy 64
Красиво Тимо Болл сыграл!
this is great!!
High level- Boll
Great Performance
Seems like Mizutani has enhanced his forehand quite a lot
Still not as powerful as the Chinese's or even the backhand of Harimoto.
They have similar style of play I think- The spinny style.
How does boll manage his health??
Lakas parin ni Timo!
Partida may lagnat payan
wow timo!!
Go Tim
頑張れ👍
Who won?
... did you even watch? You could have just watched the last point to see who won smh
Jenson Brooksby i meant who won the entire match? Dusseldorf or orenburg?
Tihi Andrew, you should have explained that first. Haha.
Nice angle ha ha
Hurricane or tenergy....this match make me doubt about my forehand rubber
またボルが日本から遠のいたイメージ
4:42〜
5:43
If only Timo played this well against Ma Long back at Team World Championship. Or maybe he couldn't due to the dragon's power?
He is aging, he didn't have that much stamina to keep up with Ma Long's heavy attacks. And he was recovering from injury back then.
😏 remember what we said last time how 99% of people hit back to their opponent but ma long hits away? Perfect example here.
Timo crushed the poor guy.

voll fett von Timo !!!
Mitzutani so weak mentally. Already gave up last game.
I'll never understand the players who moan like someone is f*cking them.
Paul Ispaul you've probably never experienced playing with enthusiasm then
no... he sounds like he is getting fucked
Adrian Ruelas sound's like it but it's not what he's thinking
