JM Saive belong to the old ancient time where the variety and allround play (Grubba style) was the norme. He proves once again without strong speed you can beat the #14 World Rank mostly on double counter attack... A lot of points were lots by Oh on double counter attack from JM. Despite JM is now around 40 years old, it's nice to see compete as a whirly Spartian Warrior. Good Job !
i didnt underestimate saive cause when he was young he played very well, he even beat liu guoliang, but i didnt think he could maintain this shape nowadays, great play
OMG! Never in my life I thought I would see Oh loosing to a player like this... He needs to be more aggressive or more witted, he just played to Saive´s rhythm :(
What a delight too see these two monsters playing in a totally balanced match! Every set is a surprise!
wow! Great match! Saive's backhand seemed better than I remembered. Great to see that Saive still has that fight in him.
.
8 minutes of pure awesomeness!!
Great respect to Jean Michel Saive!
Win or lose, Saive always plays with passion!
Save is a real last all-round player. All shots of the TT in one match ;-)
Wowwww! What a brilliant and entertaining game! Can't believe I hadn't seen this until now!
Oh has such a relaxed style. It reminds me of Waldner.
saive got swaggah, i also like his Humour.
You can see him enjoying every point of the match, respect
pingpongerke1992 thats not humour, thats passion
i love oh back hand and block... but much respect to Saive
grande saive, como siempre dando un buen espectaculo y ganandole a grandes figuras.

I like Saive, not only his skills but also spirit.
saive is like a brute warrior whereas Oh is a silent ninja...silent and composed, and only strikes to kill when necessary
What a wonderful game it was just 14 years ago. How much TT has changed for the worse with all that 'improvements'.
an awesome win for saive!! and sang eun... omg what a control!!
Saive always reminds me that "hard work does pay off"
you can see that saive has so much fun, great game!!
Oh Sang Eun has a very relaxed play style.
Spectacular match

incredible
Saive had a very good record against Waldner. Waldner 26 Saive 21.
WONDERFUL
Jean-mi is coming back to the top! No I'm kidding, but he stays strong and consistent even if he is not enough agressive anymore
Yeah, he still can pull it off.
He's pretty old but he's the Best
jean mi is a great fighter !!!
so somebody finally made a custom short for saive eh?
wauw! didn't see this one coming :| the old guy's still got it :D
too bad though, i favoured Oh
@DouggyFresh619 Yeah that is awesome.
Gr8 match ... S. Oh awesome ! Oh with perhaps with a little more aggression may have claimed a few points saive ended up winning... ?
I like Saive
Saive is the boss !
Saive deserved to win!
i hate saive's habit where he hop when he receiving serve but still his a good player
Hahahaha wtf
My thoughts exactly. Its actually kind of poor by Oh. He is a top player after all...
If Saive had more power, holy shit he would be hard to play...
He did have more power. Check some of his matches from the 90s.
Saive must be Ohs bogey man..
Oh Sang hatte zuviel Hypertonietabletten geschluckt.
OMG! Never in my life I thought I would see Oh loosing to a player like this... He needs to be more aggressive or more witted, he just played to Saive´s rhythm :(
i cant believe oh lost from saive...i would bet all my money on the korean before the match
saive is old
오상은이 훨씬 잘치는거같은데 졌네
that's cause he is old. haha
he can still play though
Oh Sang Eun is just tooooooooooooo lazy. He has soooooo much time after the first backhand shot but simply choose not to go for the forehand kill...
saive tries so hard
CHO!!!!
saive looks so damn old. ---> bad footwork
great effort from saive.
ohh is too passive now
