Samsonov the Legend. One of my favorite players and a player I respect the most. Masterclass in blocking and ball control and tactics just watching him.
I've never seen a player winning with so much grace. From an asthetic point of view it's pure joy to watch him. Also he has a very unique style, that no other player has: His return of the serve is not just relative aggressive but also very smart. He shoves the ball in a very flat angle. It seems that other players just shove the serve because it's part of the game. But for Samsonov it's a part of showing dominance, control and introduction to his plan.
Умный настольный теннис 👍 человек легенда- жаль расцвет карьеры пришелся не на то с точки зрения экономической ситуации время, а еще жаль что в нашем Отечестве никого подобного в мире настольного тенниса пока не родилось(((
С днем рождения вас, Владимир Викторович! Здоровья, счастья и успехов в работе! Как нам всем повезло, что мы живём в это время и можем наслаждаться вашей игрой! С уважением и любовью к вам и вашему мастерству!
How can I not leave a comment! We love you Samsonov! Thank you for the many years of amazing games! I hope the next generation follow your example in hard-work, attitude and professionalism!
Всегда нравилась игра Владимира, столько лет играл и постоянно развивался. Такое чувство мяча, и в 90 - е когда все разваливалось смог найти возможность расти.
3:14 is not that under the leg serve considered disrespectful? Unexpected from Schlager. I guess he was frustrated being on the verge of being beaten 0:4 by Vladi.
I'm still a novice at the game and this compilation is thrilling to watch. I have a question about some of the shot _choices_ though. When a player is standing so far back from the table, why doesn't their opponent try drop-shotting them instead of almost always smashing?
Legend, champion, gentleman and table tennis genius. Happy Birthday, Vladimir! С днем рождения!

Excellent exploitation of opponent's weaknesses, game reading - happy birthday table tennis professor.

С Днём рождения, Владимир Викторович! Легенда!
One of the best players Europe of all time.From time immemorial When sport was free from politics.
Sport was never free from politics.Samsonov himself was a Soviet product.
@@dickn.ormous1064 however bad it was then its a lot worse now
@@hottopics7561 TT wouldn't even be an Olympic sport if not for the Ping Pong Diplomacy...
С Днём Рождения, Владимир!
Happy Birthday to Mr.Samsonov. You’re the best player for me from now on.
Happy Birthday, Vladimir! my Legend !
I haven't seen a more defensive player like this in the big leagues. Neat!
The Best Belarus sportsman of all time! Proud to be one of those who shook his hand.
I met the Legend at LA Open in 2016. Have a paddle signed by him. And a selfie, of course :)

Happy birthday 🥳 valdimir
He makes every move looke so easy
Happy birthday
A true great
HBD valdimir..
I took photo with him in 2019 johor , Malaysia 😉
Best player back then...
Absolutely true
He was one of the best, but was he ever truly the best in the world?
@@adrian16281 he has got many gold n silver medals in world championships and world cups, so yes...
I like his style, I think if I were any good at table tennis I'd probably play a similar style, considering I'm the same height as him too.
3:14 is not that under the leg serve considered disrespectful? Unexpected from Schlager. I guess he was frustrated being on the verge of being beaten 0:4 by Vladi.
Who cares?
@@ttime9947 apprently at least 3 people apart from me who liked it. If you don’t care, it will be wise not to add a comment 🙂.
Just kinda exhibition serve
I'm still a novice at the game and this compilation is thrilling to watch. I have a question about some of the shot _choices_ though.
When a player is standing so far back from the table, why doesn't their opponent try drop-shotting them instead of almost always smashing?
maybe to entertain the spectators , somehow it just feels right , smashing teh ball is so satisfying
You may have noticed, Samsonov is lobbing the ball pretty high, and also putting some spin too, making it more harder to drop shot.
When you make a mistake in a drop shot, it becomes very easy for the opponent to attack back. Therefore the drop shot is not always the best choice.
If ma long was given a fault on the serve because he blocked the ball trajectory , then why is the serve at 3:11 by Samsonov legal??
The Wall of Belarus.. Happy Birthday
Where is the point vs Robinot? Legendary
Its all about control and getting the ball on the table. Maybe this is the style i should go for🤔
Legend! Nuff said!
I don't give two rips about ping pong but for some reason I can't click off
why didn't you made a video for zhang jike?
why your rules? ittf new rankings are against chinese?
Looks like he beat Xu Xin? Did he retire?
👌🏓👏👏
🍀samsonov🍀
The WALL !!
Vladimir Samsonever!!!
У него же 17 го апреля

鉄壁だったからなーー

Гордость Беларуси! Жаль наше государство никого не ценит, но для людей это легенда спорта 💪🏻🔥
Happy birthday
