Petr Korbel vs Thiago Monteiro | Semifinal | 2022 Edgeball Chicago International Open

One of the most entertaining matches to watch between veteran legends Monteiro and Korbel. Lots of open rallying where the snappy speed of Monteiro encounters the fluid topspin mastery of Korbel!

[@sagarghatge007]

Just wow, love to see him playing. That smooth backhands out of this World ♥️All time favourite Petr Korbal -The Legend

I have some more match footage I will cut and put up since everyone is enjoying it 😎

[@sagarghatge007]

@@MHTableTennis Yes please, would love to watch

[@Belgamor77]

Wow, great match. Petr chopblocks were scary, the second one Thiago somehow managed to lift it with a lucky net as well. Spectacular rallies and topspin battles, a crowd pleaser!

[@MHTableTennis]

Yea the rallies were really fun, it’s not often you get to see matches that are so open - very much the table tennis of yesteryears (which I love)

[@peterl392]

the father of backhand flick

[@MHTableTennis]

Yes indeed, and still amazing at it too. Wrist control on backhand is out of this world

[@filipcernota4538]

Actually he is NOT. He just keeps saying that over and over again.

[@hercegovac5]

Korbel is genius!!! 👍💪

Watched my friend play Tiago at the Los Angeles Open in 2019. Very nice guy. In 2018 had a selfie with Tiago Apollonia 😊.

[@MHTableTennis]

Monteiro and Apolonia are both great dudes for sure 😄

[@viktorforsch8744]

What a flowy game. Especially the game of Korbel. Nice to watch

[@ttlifeArtem]

Amazing Petr!!!!!!!!

I was preparing to write, well, he lost, but such a performance for a player his age is great nonetheless. Then, heck, he won the match. The Chinese nicknamed Waldner "The evergreen", yet Korbel is every bit as much "evergreen" as him.

Geilo...

[@CHONG76600]

Super niveau encore a leur age. Je me demande en france peter aurait quel classements ?

[@MHTableTennis]

Hard to say now but I think he could still win against some decent French players. I could see him winning against someone like Dupont or Brossier for example, maybe Enzo Angles would be too strong now

[@nimakh5176]

Pro B, il est trop vieux pour affronter des joueurs de Pro A comme Alexis ou Féfe.

[@CHONG76600]

​​@@nimakh5176ça joue pour toi aux alentours de quelle place ? Car thiago monteiro il jouait encore de temps en temps en international, 300/400 ou mieux?

@@CHONG76600 Classement de la FFTT, je pense qu'il sera autour de N100-80 (ou peut-être même plus bas/meilleur) mais je ne peux pas vous donner un classement exact.

What equipment does he use? The korbel sk7 is my favorite blade ever.

[@lots_of_numbers7580]

AINTNOWAY HE'S STILL PLAYING!

[@MHTableTennis]

Only the odd event here and there, he’s still amazing. He’s 51 years old now

[@lots_of_numbers7580]

@@MHTableTennis yeah insane man, basically the inventor of the morden table tennis playing style

[@destodave]

How old is he in this video? Got to be well over 50. Damn he can play. He’s so smooth. That’s table tennis!

[@MHTableTennis]

I think turned 50 that year, he came back and played again last year at 51

Thanks. He's amazing! That BH flick is incredible.@@MHTableTennis
