2 gentleman players of highest skill level. Wardner was far from his peak here and Samsonov was thought to inherit Wardner's world dominance. One thing we all know, both lasted a long time and will always be respected.
the scary thing about samsonov is, he decided very early in his career to focus on founding a family and not to push his career to the limits and still top 10 for almost 2 decades.
Samsonov with fantastic skills. The blocking and change of direction is gorgeous. And for almost 20 years he´s in the top ten. All respect to this great player.

Asian women should not be allowed in the arenas. They have given me EIGHT broken windows over the years, because of their loud voices. (the voices themselves, not me throwing the racket....ok, one time)
Agreed. I believe this obnoxious crowd noise (at pro-level events no less) was one of the reasons why these televised table tennis matches couldn’t catch on here in the U.S. I for one, couldn’t stand to even watch this. Can you imagine if the crowds were like this at a pro tennis match??
슬프게도 나이는 어떤 영웅이든 약하게 만들고, 무너지게 만듭니다만, 여기서 짚고 넘어가야할 점은 백핸드 타법입니다. 구 세대에선 강력한 회전이 담긴 공은 포핸드 루프가 거의 유일한 수단이었고, 이는 순간적인 손목 탄성을 이용한 압박(푸쉬)로 극복해 낼 수 있었습니다. (소수 플레이어들이었지만) 게다가 백핸드 쪽으로 오는 공은 돌아서 플레이해야만 했으므로, 발이 아무리 빨라도 푸쉬로 상대 빈 공간에 빼버리면 쫓아가기가 굉장히 어려웠고, 불가능했죠. 하지만 백핸드 기술이 발전하고, 손목 사용에 대한 발전이 생기면서 백핸드 쪽 주도권이 굉장히 중요해졌습니다. 전에는 푸쉬하고 돌아섰던 플레이가 이젠, 자리잡고 백핸드에서 계속 꾸준히 거니까요. 삼소노프를 보면 각을 미리 결정해놓고 문질러서 뿌려버리는, 그리고 본인이 자신있게 임팩트를 구사할 수 있는 공은 손목의 탄성을 이용해 튕겨내면서 양 코스를 흔듭니다. 반면 발트너는 백핸드를 칠때 각이 상당히 많이 뒤틀리고, 들리며, 그로 인해 백핸드 범실이 많아지자 (노장임에도 불구하고) 모두 포핸드로 돌아서려고 하죠. 이 장면이 수도없이 반복됩니다. 그리고 이후 16년 후인 지금은 더이상 선수들은(적어도 세계랭킹 Top 10안에 있는 선수들은) 발트너처럼 플레이하지 않습니다. 적어도 백핸드 주도권이 있을때에만 포핸드 전환을 하죠. 저는 이 경기가 대표적인 백핸드 이해도와 백핸드의 전술구사능력의 차이를 보여주는 경기라고 생각합니다. 더이상 쇼트(혹은 푸쉬)만으로는 백핸드 드라이브를 구사하는 플레이어에게 주도권을 가져올 수 없고, 그로 인해 돌아서서 무리를 해야만 하는 구도가 생기며, 그런 구도를 이용해 백핸드 드라이브를 거는 플레이어는 더욱 쉽게 포인트를 얻을 수 밖에 없는..그런 대표적인 경기였다고 생각합니다. 물론 경기는 여러가지 행운(혹은 컨디션이라던지)이 따랐다면, 발트너가 이겼을 수도 있다고 생각은 합니다만, 그것이 곧 '발트너의 경기 스타일이 옳고, 맞았다!'고 생각하진 않습니다. 전체적인 구도를 만들어낸 것은 결국 백핸드의 우위 문제였기 때문이고, 이를 다른 것으로 이겨내었다면, 그 백핸드 우위가 충분치 않았다고 생각합니다. 이는 현재 상위 랭커들이 어떻게 게임을 운영하고 있는지를 살펴보면, 두 플레이어 중 누가 현대 탁구를 잘 이해하고 있고, 전술을 잘 수행했는가를 알 수 있죠.
24:49 I think Samsonov has a form of anti spin / low spin on his backhand. So many times Waldner's 2nd topspin drops into the net, which is a classic sign. Plus Waldner is always a little perplexed each time this happens, and keeps looking at his bat, and even gives it a wipe on a good few occasions. Great game.
I can promise you that he would have known that and adjusted his game for it. He's been in the world elite for almost 35 years, he knows all the materials. It was just humid and the modern rubbers back then performed shit in humidity. It probably is like so that he had a new series of rubbers played in low humidity and this was the first really humid game, and he went with the calibration for "old rubbers". That's my cent...
@@andreaseriksson8803 Waldner as good as he were didn't have a natural bh loop/counterloop, which is why he had troubles against short pimples. He did adjust for example against Liu Guoliang but he had to do special training and after the 2000 Olympics he had too many injuries to adjust to the 40mm ball. Hell,even Samsonov didn't really adjust his backhand to the 40mm ball as evidenced by his 2003 WTTC match against Kreanga. It was mentioned by many players at the time than bh driving/blocking didn't work with the 40mm ball because the two hemispheres had different hardness and you couldn't know which side of the ball you're hitting. One can see how Wang Liqin changed his bh to a more loopy counter movement with the 40mm,altough he was still weak against players with good bh.
@@dickn.ormous1064 I can agree with most of your analysis there. As a fact he didn't have a strong "modern" bh loop although all in all he had a strong bh. It was just that his bh loop was of the 90's model.
Incredible what happened within 14 years. This game is super slow-mo compared to modern players like Fan Zhendong, Xu Xin, Hugo Calderano, Ma Long, Timo Boll or Shoutimoto.
Rubber and sponge technology vastly improved after 2008. And there have been very recent advances in rubbers and sponges also. Plastic balls are used now too, which tend to spin a little bit less than the celluloid balls. And hell, even blade technology has improved considerably in recent years. This is why the game looks different nowadays. Player styles play a small part too. And the styles are now being shaped by the new technology in the equipment. It's all about power shots, power blocks, and agility from the player. And honestly, Waldner wasn't overly heavy on spin, and he wasn't overly powerful either. His greatness stems from manipulating his opponents' shots. He would set you up with a decent look at your "best" personal shot and usually he would get you to hit it cross-table to his backhand. And boy, he loved the backhand block. He would block up the line a bunch too. And he was such a master at manipulating the play like that, that it was really difficult to get him out of his setups. I'm sure he had tons of setups and finishes. And he could pull him off. Nothing else even mattered. Waldner in his absolute prime would SMOKE any current top guys like Fan Zhendong. It doesn't matter how quick Fan moves. Waldner will make it look physically effortless and totally smash Fan. JUST SAYING!
@@ttjesus4959 Bro this is what waldner did to yan sen in wttc 1997. He purposely let him play his strong forhand just to say "This is the best you got?"
The sheer speed and spin from the ball right now is slower but nowadays the ball is played mostly off the bounce or at the highest point in his arc which results in faster paced rallys and less time for reaction. Despite rubber and sponge advancement, speed glue was faster.
Eloi Mumford Like better the fall harder non more I told her to leave me all alone that wat she’s done that lonely one and now I can’t longer I footstep pong is very hard bye
These days it just called "booster" and most of the pro players still use it. Especially the Chinese. It's too expensive for the regular Joe to use though since "boosting" rubbers decreases the rubber's life considerably. They should really ban boosting too so everyone is on a level playing field. I would boost my rubbers too if i had an old Asian man to do it for me and then assemble all my bats. It's tricky, time consuming, and expensive and a bit wasteful. Rubbers that may last 2 or 3 years unboosted are only good for 2 or 3 months boosted.
Waldner seems to have a habit of blaming something other than himself when losing a match. Another time when losing badly to a Chinese player, he started to rub his shoulder as if injured.
Самсонов в пике своей формы в этом матче просто издевался над теряющим свою былую форму Вальднером. Зажимал его влево и потом неожиданно менял направление.
He was better then all the Chinese player's. The Chinese today have it easy since Europe is so much weaker than 20 years ago. Timo Boll is still a top player today tells something a bout how easy it is.
I still remember 18 years old Waldner in world cup team final vs China. Chinese commentator said Waldner learned all Technics invented by Chinese. But use it better than all Chinese players, including their world champion. The golden era team China won 5 : 1. But it was very close.
Waldner always was too tricky for Vladi. ...I never understood Waldner's so called "genius". Clumsy style, no fitness at all, technique is close to amateur... Never liked this player. But he has demonic concentration and intuition, and they almost always led him to success...
Wow, that comment is going out on a limb. Certainly the Chinese always said Waldner had flaws, but they were comparing minor differences from perfect technique of the time. However, his ability to disguise what shot & spin he was hitting made him unplayable at his best. Even here, way past his physical best, he shows what he can set up; but he failed to finish off many positions and Samsonov is way too good not to capitalise.
He was very agile in his prime and could hit great shots on the run.His technique was simply exceptional even by modern standards.His forehand loop and serve was the best of his generation.His aerobic capacity was elite pentathlon level.

Samsonov's revenge was actually his 3-0 victory over Waldner in 2001 WTTC. Only 4 yrs needed. They met 5 times. Waldner won the first 2 meetings in 1997, 2000 and Samsonov won the next 3 meetings, 2 in 2001 and this match in 2005.
@@somebose7395 It is a revenge. A win is a win. It is a World Cup match and it means something. Waldner not being as good as in his prime is not Samsonov's fault. Since he was competing then he better prepared to get his butt kicked.
I think Jorgen Persson in 2008 (42 years old) more better than Waldner in 2005 (40 years old). Persson in 2008 play almost equally with samsonov in Beijing 2008. In this match, Waldner look mediocre. If he play with Persson, I bet Persson will win
It's a match up thing.Persson has the reach and bh to keep up against Samsonov who has a similar style to him.But he wouldn"t beat Ma Lin in 2004.Also the Olympics had lighter schedule compared to WTTC which helped veterans.

@@dickn.ormous1064 Why are you saying this?
Not really revenge. Waldner old his level had drop alot since 97. This loss didn't mean much
@@somebose7395 It is a revenge. A win is a win. It is a World Cup match and it means something. Waldner not being as good as in his prime is not Samsonov's fault. Since he was competing then he better prepared to get his butt kicked.
isnt it world champs
У Валднера заметно слабый бэкхенд.
Он формировался как теннисист в 70-е и 80-е годы, тогда этому не уделялось столько внимания.
Feels so slow
2 gentleman players of highest skill level.
mas uma *corneta de campo de futebol*
não combina com tênis de mesa.
que vergonha
Самсонов хорошо отбивал

Waldner owns Samsonov number
Waldner 的反手太弱，Samsonov 完封 Waldner 是很正常的.
Та да, ебать.
Jan-Ove Waldne good reason blamed on the WET racket. LOL
ппц я думал валднер дёрнет его
Backhand from Waldner to soft.
Zuerst hatte er kein Glück und dann kam auch noch Pech dazu... 😕
it was a season when were too much womens in jans live
Warum hat Samsonow so leicht gewonnen?! 😲
Welt Meister Weil Waldner alt geworden ist
Feuer Dämon Möglich, aber egal zu leicht.
うるさすぎてワルドナーの集中力が明らかにないな。ま、サムソノフにとってもうるさい状況だから強かったのはサムソノフってことだけど。
SAMSONOV IS A NOMBER 1 IN THE HISTOOY OF EUROPEAN TABLE TENNIS
Waldner salah karet kui
I think Jorgen Persson in 2008 (42 years old) more better than Waldner in 2005 (40 years old).
Persson in 2008 play almost equally with samsonov in Beijing 2008.
In this match, Waldner look mediocre.
If he play with Persson, I bet Persson will win
It's a match up thing.Persson has the reach and bh to keep up against Samsonov who has a similar style to him.But he wouldn"t beat Ma Lin in 2004.Also the Olympics had lighter schedule compared to WTTC which helped veterans.
кто написал что это 2005 год тот идиот играют есчо старым маленьким мячом. это 99 или 2000 где то
Идиот - это вы. В Шанхае был единственный ЧМ по НТ, это 2005 год. Других ЧМ за последние 90 лет в Шанхае не было. Первое фото в статье - с этого ЧМ tabletennis.hobby.ru/other/lenta05-2005/04-05-2005.shtml
This Publikum is really terrible
Sounds like a baseball game --- nobody's really watching.
Ok. Just enjoy Table Tennis, please .
"Keyboard warriors" please stop !
Noisy cheap crowd. Very low class behavior.
oh yeah? why does some top classes like you put a shit comment on youtube
Just typical Chinese audience. Same everywhere.
В одни ворота. Браво!
Putin - Khuilo!!!
Tyvärr var hans backhand inte lika bra som hans forehand och det utnyttj
Швед
Samsonov skills no more useful by modern ping pong ,no body block this days just attack ! He lost lot of times to Chinese modern player by this reason !!!
Moderm ping pong is trash. The real table tennis was in 90's and 00's
poor video quality
Samsonov hayatının balı ile gelmiş. Bu durum waldneri sinir etti.
