@quickzilver333 That's right. Vladi said in his interview once, that he never had problems against defenders, because he had got a lot of practice against defenders when he was junior.
One thing I know about table tennis is that, so far, offense > defense. No one has proven that wrong yet. There are great defensive players yes but so far most of the more successful ones are offensive.
😅когда играю на рейтинге 200 + рттф это не так очевидно :), против этого Азиата ничего не сделаешь если как Самсонов не владеешь серийным топсом. А так да , я вроде как понял что защита равная всегда проиграет нападению или 8 из 10 случаев
@smart0money It doesn't matter if Joo Se Hyuk was in his prime. Samsonov is very good in dealing with defensive players. As a matter of fact I don't think Samsonov has ever lost to any defensive player before.
@smart0money come on :)) you must be joking. ... you call this a relaxing match? They bought fought as hard as possible, both might have passed their prime but does not mean that Joo or Samsonov didn't play well. In fact it was a great match and Samsonov won because he played an extremely smart game.
Samsonov's touch is amazing.. controlled Joo well.
Красивая игра!Техника Самсонова - высший пилотаж!
A VERY GOOD win for Samsanov. Great to see him justify his world ranking here.
Joo the Poet of table tennis!

@EdMajinLee199999
It is so, because Joo make the game slower. When Samsonov plays to Ma Long he does not play so slow.
Impressive length variation from Samsonov, and his blocks are always so low and short over the net, even JSH have hard times to counter-attack them.
It's a shame Joo lost focus at the 5th set. He's my favorite player. I think he has never won to Samsonov :( Next match he'll win!
And this "never" did not change.
Vladimir Samsonov good against defending players. He a slow, strong player with good feeling and "bad" fotwork at that level.
Entre Samsung et Joo, ça a toujours été très serré,
mais jusqu'ici, Sam a gagné finalement.
@goptty Boll mostly loses to Ma Lin. He usually beats the other two, but has recent losses to Joo Se Hyuk in 2010 and I believe early 2011.
@Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh There are websites with the stats ;-). Also: who would forget some great matches and their results!

does anyone know which rubbers does samsonov use?
@smart0money hyuk i s a very clever player and doesn't slack down. but sami learned the techniques that is why he won
Joo and backhand smash? Did he change his racket or something ? oO
@goptty And also, Ma Lin has a 13-6 record against Joo, so mostly beats him too. You obviously have no clue here.
6:23What a rally!
SAMSONOV SAMSONOV
What's the current score?
The best anti-defenders are Samsonov and Wang Hao
For sure. But ma long, ma lin and zhang jike are very close to them.
@smart0money Samsonov always looks relext at the table and you cant say joo got really bad i saw him play an awsome match some months before
joo played well :P
@goptty Boll has a 5-13 record against Ma Lin, so hardly ever beats him...
Красава
Wang hao, xu xin, ma lin, ma long got the clear edge over him.But Samsanov's loop and touch variations must be the most annoying style for jsh.
so anemic...
Joo won't so better like before! :(
problem is joo can't play defense 100% of the time
he has to attack with loop also
trying to balance it out but still playing more defense
ohh sammy!
Les nerfs d'aciers! Accrochez vous.
samsonov takes betablocker and win
Hyuk doesn't look 100%, only joo-ish
joo mostly loses to valdi , valdi always loses to ma lin and ma lin mostly loses to joo .........
btw timo beays em all =)
You've got to be fucking kidding me
chops from hell ..
