Timo was damn lucky to win this match. He started out extremely tight, made tons of errors and gave Samsonov a big lead. Kudos to him for find a way to win this incredibly tight match.
samsonov fought so hard some of the matches were just so close and timo was under pressure but he one of greatest for a reason because he knows how to pull himself together and fight back to win most player wouldv'e have failed to win because of the huge amount of pressure but well done TIMO!!!
Timo is in the shape of his lifetime. He improved his footwork etc. Hard to beat this year. I´m curious, how he plays during the world championship. He was slightly injured, but i don´t think, this will stop him. My prediction: He- or Wang Hao will be the new world champion.
if you're fine with the summary of the match here you could use e.g. a firefox plugin that enables you to save this vid to your hard drive. The quality loss during the conversion (if there is at all) is negligible.
Great final indeed and I agree with samsonov123 that this was their best encounter so far (and that's saying something). But, poor Vladi. Such a great sportsman (like Timo). I would have happily granted him the win this time although I am big fan of Timo's. Losing two European championships and by now the third Top12 title against the same man must be a tough thing to bear although their wins are more or less equally distributed among them. Anyways, I wish we see more of that in the future. Bye
Dear ttCountenance, Your channel is the best and thank you very much for your effort, but could you please not put any tags on your vids? particularly on the score panel? Really appreciated, thank you again!
Samsonov blocks its the one of best of the world, and he is not blocking too mutch, he blocks when is necessary, and he attacks is very powerfull (spin) (sorry for bad englesh)
I'm sure you know but there is an option to turn off those annotations. On the far right of the toolbar click on it and two options will come up. Hover over the first one, it should be red and say turn annotations off. That solves your problem. Hope it helps :) Jesus10019
*** Two awesome players and that's why they are among the best in the world BUT Timo Boll is: Faster, more technical, more accurate and that is why he stands much better than Vladimir. Let's not forget Timo beat the top 3 Chinese players of the world back in 2005 (Liebher, Germany) to win the world cup, an achievement that Vladimir has never had. Peace to all///
hello. samsonov won the world cup 3 times, in 1999, 2001, 2009, more than timo who had won the tournament 2 times, in 2002 and 2005. in 2001, samsonov beat the world number 1 wang liqin in the final with 4 straight games. in 2009, he beat ma long in semi final, and chen qi in final and also in the group stage. i think vladi is better than timo, as if we look at intercontinental cups but they both are so good and their levels are so close.
Final was only one interesting match. Why Timo beat Vladi again? Because he is atacker and Vladi too much blocking...In this highlights ins t looks that, but i saw whole match and Vladi is just so much blocking...
Samsonov is the BEST! He got kick ass to all narrow-eyed china-made guys on Leibherr 2009 in Moscow, and Boll even didn't pass the quaterfinals.

thanks! did not know about that option before

timo boll fought this one till the end...samsonov is and amazing sidespin player! He knows how to handle it and does it very well with his serve :)
i didnt know that table tennis also got mascots and cheerleaders until i watch this video!!

0:39 I just love how Samsonov plays his backhand. No long moves, just smacking the ball on the table :D
I made a mistake, is the hardest sport in the world accordin NASA in elite form and the second healthy sport in the world, fantastic
What a hard fight, the men of comeback, also bravo to Vlad!
Great Boll, great Samasanov, my european favorite!
wow, great performance by both players, but in the end timo rises as the winner :)

0:40 Amazing shot of Samsonov.
4:19 what a drop shot!! WELL DONE!! nice technique Vladi!!
lol i like how kreanga and maze are making a little chat afterwards
What a great match!
Dear ttCountenance,
Your channel is the best and thank you very much for your effort, but could you please not put any tags on your vids? particularly on the score panel? Really appreciated, thank you again!
Excellent match.
timo boll -my idol
The second hardest sport in the world accordin NASA!!, and the second sport that balances well fisic and mental skills
Samsonov blocks its the one of best of the world, and he is not blocking too mutch, he blocks when is necessary, and he attacks is very powerfull (spin) (sorry for bad englesh)
Samson's backhand is pretty wild!
Tibhar Player..I like samsonov..he uses the same blade with me...and Tibhar nimbus is great rubber ever...
Great, but anyway i miss the High Qualitiy Button. Great match !!
hey where do you download this video or from which programme do you rec it.
i like timo's style
timo boll is the best !!!
Vladi in only one European who can really beat Timo Boll.
Samsonov THE BEST !!!!!
samsanov looks so pissed of when boll lifts the trophy.
Maze and that chick in blue are totally checking each other out at 4:34 - 4:36 :)
still there is no person like samsonv
4:3, 11:9 in the end... Quite good! :)
timo é zika
can someone please give me a link to a match where samsonov wins? never saw one...
why on the video samsonov is polish :D? he's belarian. (i'mean about the flag at the end score)
gr8 match, samsonov was very unlucky...
The strongest white players indeed. Fantastic!
@thayyatt
You can turn these announcements off
and i though that i can play good table tennis...Vladi is greatest ever
Is that persson on the left ? 4:33
how much do they get paid
Take it as you want, dude, but always remember the deal your chinese brothers do in Taiwan and in Tibet.
it dont matter how much topspins they made
LOL its funny that in 9:10, samsonov is thinking "that could have been me ;( " XD
Who is the female TT player at 6:47?
I'm sure you know but there is an option to turn off those annotations. On the far right of the toolbar click on it and two options will come up. Hover over the first one, it should be red and say turn annotations off. That solves your problem.

Jesus10019
wow so how tall is vladimir?
3:40 - I was pretty sure Vladi will destroy the ball!)))
LOL i thought samsonov is from belarus, so why is there a polish flag in the end of the clip?
jawoll timo
the table is shorter isn't?
What deal?
I am fm taiwan btw......
Just living in singapore.....
nice backhand 0:39
Haha these two make the table look so tiny!!! Samsonov is more than twice the height of the table!!!
and the first hardest?
In a better day, Timo Boll would have beat up Samsonov's ass
he doesnt play with nimbus anymore
0:03 Samsonov = Belarus
8:29 Samsonov = Poland
Its a shame that Samsonov doesnt really counterspin as good as his other skills, he ended up losing the match because of that..

butterfly = maze and boll
Tibhar = Samsonov
joola = kreanga????
Its clear samsonov is the better one timoboll take it using his brain; im sad samsonov was just 2 points away and hes the best
samsonov makes me sleep
I thought he had 'em.
awesome game...
watch the girls in the last minute.... i'm in love(L)
omg boll is so much betta.....wen he stops lobbing!!!!!!!!!!!
@jami9595 yes is person and maze . dx
GG
who's the hottie that was signing autographs?
Final was only one interesting match. Why Timo beat Vladi again? Because he is atacker and Vladi too much blocking...In this highlights ins t looks that, but i saw whole match and Vladi is just so much blocking...
Great match! (and first comment maybe :D )
Hmmm.. Maybe Samsonov is trained with a different method? Thats why his footwork don't seem like a pro TT player
@ingullar
I take that as a racist remark to chinese......
У Лацінскай Амерыцы сардэчныя прывітання з Валодзя, якія ацанілі тут ...
haha lol
lobbing doesnt seem to work against samsonov. that guys fucking tall....
Samsonov has good placing skills, but for some reason, I hate how he moves! he appears too lame, too lousy. Boll moves like a real TT warrior.
not really... not even close
Samsonov sucks so much he always loses to Timo, I guess the fighters usually win in ping pong
wang liqin is bigger than samsonov
8:37 Polish flag next to Samsonov name lol haha FAIL!
MAze look gay..
