I always shudder when I remember what it was like to be a chopper in the small ball, speed glue, hidden serve era. It's that context that makes guys like matsushita, ding song, and young Joo so impressive.
What was so different about then and now. I’m pretty new in tennis. It’s been less than a year and I want to know whether it’s possible to be a chopper of this caliber with the equipment we are using now
Waldner gets most of the praise among great Swedish players but Persson was just about as good. Matsushita was a fantastic defender but Persson was incredibly consistent. Matsushita came out on top in this one.
Persson had a number of things going on with his life and his level declined whereas Waldner kept improving his game through out the 90's.There are not many videos of him in his prime.He did have the potentials to outlast Waldner but was unlucky.

Matsushita's chop is an art.
Both players were playing at a very high level. It's amazing that Matsushita could defend against the excellent timing of Persson's hard drives.

Those chops are so brutal that time seems to go slower when the ball comes back to Persson
Some of Matsushita's returns defy description. Just incredible skill. Truly
By far the best defender of all time! His agility and skill from both wings is amazing! Wish there were more recordings of him from the '90s.
Did he win any big competition?
@@Spacevet does that matter to us chopper.
Not a bit..
@@Rocky4u Best response ever
Perssons hits are so fluid and crisp. Especially against back spin superb
God of chopper
best defender of the world
이동희 best of the best
パーソンはカット打ち、上手いね。
この頃にはワルドナーよりも動けたし、バックハンドも多彩で素晴しいプレーだった。
ドライブ、ストップ、ミドル、前に落とす、自由自在。
対する松下もカットの円熟味が増して、この頃のカットは渋谷と張るのではないかな。
攻撃の威力は相変わらずなのだが、何せパーソンのブロック技術が凄い。
Перссон - Эстет настольного тенниса. Смотреть его игру - сплошное удовольствие.
Goat on the mic at 1:00.
Very good text in the description!
That last set was all the money, hurray MATSUSHITA!!!
Two top players. Personne : World Champion, européen champion in single, double and team. A legend.
the most entertaining chopper to watch...GOAT!!!
Frikkin amazing chops in last game. So low
Оба подарили настольному теннису невероятно много!!
That spin move at 5:44 tho
Persson has to work like a maniac for every point 😂
probably the technically best, most elegant and fastest defender !

At 48 years old, Persson was still ranked inside the top 100.
5:45 これ好き
GOD's level of playing.. AMAZING
これが松下浩二がレジェンドと言われる由縁。
World Top Class Chopper
Persson was excellent against defenders but Matsushita was a really good one.
The Buddha of modern defense !
パーソンに勝った！！
手加減されてな
Who win???
私はカットマンのお手本だと思います。これからさきの未来
ではカットマンの
概念を昔の考えに戻す必要があると思ってます。高島規夫さん、松下浩二さんそして樋口俊一氏(故人)の言葉をストレートに伝えられる指導者､ストレートに受け止められる強靭な精神の持ち主であればカットマンは根本的に激変すると信じて止みません。
古のカットマンこと柴と申します。実はカットマンです。見本は勿論松下浩二さんです。
マジで神だ
芸術
ロビングの球をスマッシュで返す時って、1:29みたいに返したら下回転で上にすっとんでいくから絶対返せないと思うんだけど、なぜやらないんだろう
カットスマッシュな
おれもおもうわ
遅いから取られるよ
あの球はただのチャンスボールだからできたけど上手い人のロビングは深さも高さもあるし球も伸びたり曲がったりするからなかなかできない
カットスマッシュはフォア側に甘く入ったら引き返される可能性はあるけど基本的にいい技術
ロビングっつーのは、ただポワーンっと高くあがってるだけのもあれば、ドライブ回転および横回転がかなりかかってるのもあるわけで（そうした球のほうが多い）、ドライブ回転に対して下回転のスマッシュで打つっていうのは難しいですわな。
今のドイツの監督？顔が似てる。
Koji Matsushita, you are a GOD !!!
中村槙吾
ドイツの監督はロスコフ(左利き)
パーソンはスウェーデンです。
パーソンは世界ランク一位にもなったこともある名選手ですね
Wtf
