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!!!
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!
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
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.

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
0:39 I just love how Samsonov plays his backhand. No long moves, just smacking the ball on the table :D
What a hard fight, the men of comeback, also bravo to Vlad!
thanks! did not know about that option before
Great Boll, great Samasanov, my european favorite!
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 :)

0:40 Amazing shot of Samsonov.

The second hardest sport in the world accordin NASA!!, and the second sport that balances well fisic and mental skills
What a great match!
Excellent match.
timo boll -my idol
wow, great performance by both players, but in the end timo rises as the winner :)
timo boll is the best !!!
i like timo's style
4:19 what a drop shot!! WELL DONE!! nice technique Vladi!!
lol i like how kreanga and maze are making a little chat afterwards
Samsonov THE BEST !!!!!

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...
hey where do you download this video or from which programme do you rec it.
timo é zika
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)
Great, but anyway i miss the High Qualitiy Button. Great match !!
Vladi in only one European who can really beat Timo Boll.
samsanov looks so pissed of when boll lifts the trophy.
jawoll timo
Maze and that chick in blue are totally checking each other out at 4:34 - 4:36 :)
4:3, 11:9 in the end... Quite good! :)
and i though that i can play good table tennis...Vladi is greatest ever
still there is no person like samsonv
LOL its funny that in 9:10, samsonov is thinking "that could have been me ;( " XD
The strongest white players indeed. Fantastic!
can someone please give me a link to a match where samsonov wins? never saw one...
i didnt know that table tennis also got mascots and cheerleaders until i watch this video!!
@thayyatt
You can turn these announcements off
it dont matter how much topspins they made
Take it as you want, dude, but always remember the deal your chinese brothers do in Taiwan and in Tibet.
how much do they get paid
Is that persson on the left ? 4:33
Who is the female TT player at 6:47?
nice backhand 0:39
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...

Jesus10019
wow so how tall is vladimir?
LOL i thought samsonov is from belarus, so why is there a polish flag in the end of the clip?
3:40 - I was pretty sure Vladi will destroy the ball!)))
In a better day, Timo Boll would have beat up Samsonov's ass
What deal?
I am fm taiwan btw......
Just living in singapore.....

Haha these two make the table look so tiny!!! Samsonov is more than twice the height of the table!!!
and the first hardest?
the table is shorter isn't?
samsonov makes me sleep
awesome game...
watch the girls in the last minute.... i'm in love(L)
0:03 Samsonov = Belarus
8:29 Samsonov = Poland
GG
omg boll is so much betta.....wen he stops lobbing!!!!!!!!!!!
he doesnt play with nimbus anymore
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????
@jami9595 yes is person and maze . dx
who's the hottie that was signing autographs?
I thought he had 'em.
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
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...
Hmmm.. Maybe Samsonov is trained with a different method? Thats why his footwork don't seem like a pro TT player
Great match! (and first comment maybe :D )
@ingullar
I take that as a racist remark to chinese......
lobbing doesnt seem to work against samsonov. that guys fucking tall....
У Лацінскай Амерыцы сардэчныя прывітання з Валодзя, якія ацанілі тут ...
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
haha lol
8:37 Polish flag next to Samsonov name lol haha FAIL!
Samsonov sucks so much he always loses to Timo, I guess the fighters usually win in ping pong
wang liqin is bigger than samsonov
MAze look gay..
