That would be definitely Lin Yun Ju After the 17 year old beat Ma Long and world no. 1 Fan Zehndong and won 100,000$ he did not celebrate not to say even smile #Silentassessin
Timo Boll the King. No wonder he is considered a tabletennis star even in China. When even the Chinese respect a foreigner in one of their national sports, you know that man in a beast.
At least SOMEONE who treats the man the way he should be treated. Just because he's no soccer star barely anyone in Germany knows him and his outstanding career. It's such a shame. :( When he carried the german flag into the Maracana stadium at the Rio opening ceremony, he looked like an overjoyed child, I was so happy for him. He's a very nice person and just an amazing athlete with a long and successfull career. He did what so many people thought was impossible: challenge the Chinese and the Chinese love him for doing so. Tabletennis needs so much more recognition.
Timo Boll has fought generations of Chinese players, from Kong Linghui, to Liu Guoliang, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin, Wang Hao, Zhang Jike, Ma Long and Fan Zhendong. Kong and Liu are coaches. ML, WH and WLQ have retired. But Timo Boll is still fighting. Yes, Chinese won most of the important titles, but with Timo Boll competing, there was always suspense. The real question is where is the next Timo Boll?
He told that he loves to be almost not recognised and spotted in germany, while beeing an absolute super star in a diffrent country, china. Btw how is he doing right now? Ive watched the world list and he is on 33 now :( I guess his worst position since whenever he was 33 last time? I always hope that he can play on and still win something. I guess aslong he has fun with it, he will keep on playing. Unfortunately he cant beat age. Is just crazy how long this man stayed on the top of the game.
@@Leon玲央 as of now he is maintaining his focus on recovering from a shoulder injury which made him not compete for the time being ( since the end of february i think ) + missing the wttc 2023 that was held pretty recently, that's why his world ranking is 33 my friend. Nevertheless he said that he would prepare very well for the 2024 olympics in paris, so i guess timo boll's era isn't over yet.
I started playing table tennis because of this video, everyday I used to watch this video. I reached state level competition from my school selection in under a year !! (Altho could not secure any rank but this video certainly made table tennis 100x more cooler for me !!!!!!!)
Wow, that's really great to hear, I'm glad it inspired you that much ! If you love table tennis and you're ready to work on it as much as needed, then everything is possible.
When they play the ball it always looks like there is some magic force that pushes the ball onto the other side of table (i guess it's spin + magnus effect) that looks so awesome how it drops even at the highest speeds.
I personally think, after a humiliating loss against Jingkun in the Grand Finals, Boll is going to come back even stronger in 2019. After all, the man has adapted so well to changes in the past. It’s time for him to do that again.
+Le TDD As a rule, highlight videos shouldn't include losing points, unless they are point of the century rallies, such as Ma Long vs. Fang Bo WTTC 2015, where Ma Long lost the point but it was so epic
+comm11 not true. Boll especially has played incredible points and lost them. Also, the sad part of the music fits the losing perfectly (as the creator has already mentioned). Also there are no rules lmao
Was it 2005 or 2007 when he beat Chinese top 3 in QF, SF and Finals? He completely wrecked Chinese that year. I think, after Waldner, Timo is the only other player that Chinese saw as a threat.
It was in 2005 he beat WLQ, Ma Lin and Wang Hao in a row, and in 2002 he also beat Kong Linghui in the final, yeah that was awesome, too bad he didn't manage to repeat that performance at the WTTC
Yeah but it depends, I think he was still very consistant in early 2010's (like in 2011-12, it was a great period for him, he went in WTTC semis and was WR #1) because he earned a lot of experience and that made him stronger even if he was not as good physically, I mean if you look at Ma Lin for example, he was clearly finished past his thirties
Miu Hirano is the one who could not only - she did beat them all on the Asian Championship with 17 years old and 2 of them without loosing a game 3-0. She did beat in a row World Rank No.6 Cheng I-Ching, World Rank No.1 Ding Ning, World Rank No.2 Zhu Yuling World Rank No.5 Chen Meng.
Yea they are very under pressure to win, of course. No she did not lost horribly, I mean she still plays good vs the Chinese players on the Japan Open she lost 0-4 VS Chen Meng but 11-7 is not a good result in a Game for Chen Meng against a girl is much younger with less experiences then her - also when Miu did beat Chen Meng before 3-0 on the Asian-Open without loosing a game, we are talking about the Elite also Liu Shiwen or Chen Meng got hard times to beat Ding Ning for example - you need to have good day when it comes to such high skilled players to win a match and Miu Hirano is still on her way to become a professional table tennis player and can already beat everyone without a problem world wide in respect to only a few players like Ding Ning, Chen Meng, Zhu Yuling, Wang Manyu, Liu Shiwen....
I don’t know if this is intentional but bravo on 6:14, 6:17, 6:19, 6:25 for adding the smash onto the beat, it was pretty epic. However, I did realize that in 1:03 you used footage from another RUclips video, “timo boll best shots”. The video was playing one of rocks nobody home and I can hear it in the background. Maybe edit that or something. Other than that, Great Video!
Why would everyone compare it to the chinese and still say he is a legend...... A legend should have outstanding results.... if you want to compare, he only won 2 times an important tournament such as worldcup in 2002 and 2005 where he was in his prime. But he never won other important tournaments like the world championship and the olympic games (not even top 3 in olympic games)? Ma Lin won FOUR times the world cup.... and the olympic games. Zhang ji ke has won 2 times world cup and 2 times worldchampionship and olympic games. Wang hao won 3 times world cup and world championship and 3 times olympic silver. Ma long 2 times world cup and 2 times world championship and olympic games. And i'm not even talking about asian cup or other tournaments..... Timo Boll is good sportsman en probably the best in europe, but he is still far away from the chinese. Table tennis is a sport, sometimes you win sometimes you lose, but to call yourself a legend because you won a few times against some chinese is ridiculous.... what about the times he losses? please count the winning percentage of him againt every chinese player and you will see how good he is. I havent even mentioned the new upcoming star Fan zhendong who outclass him in every single way.
Wu Jason because he was the only one for many many years to break up the Asian dominance of the world ranking. It means a lot because of how much we esteem the Chinese war machine.
Since 2005 there have only been two times that the Chinese didn't win the Qatar Open. By the title of this video, I can see you respect their dominance. That's fitting.
There's a reason why westerns play soccer, rugby and basketball. It's because of their physique and that naturally bigger than Chinese so even more impressive
+Scorpeanna Maybe but it's not that simple, WLQ was a tall player and today's chinese players are not especially small, the reason is mostly just cultural (there is something like 0,01% of Chinese population that plays soccer in a club, just because they don't care for this sport, but if tomorrow the government starts developing soccer in China and manages to get the people to like it as much as TT they could become a very strong team).
as I expected my last job interview was huge disaster so I have to move to game sector and I know only table tennis. Be ready to play with the great player of era (that is me).
+Shubham Digra Because he's been in the top 10 for more than 10 years. He was no.1 in 2003, and after injuries he got back his no.1 rank many years later in 2011.
He beat the Chinese in the odd pro tour event but not at the Olympics or Worlds. Overall he underachieved. Waldner, Gatien and Persson were better. Now they could beat the Chinese
He won two world cups (which is still a major title, it's part of the Grand Slam) by beating Wang Liqin and Kong Linghui in 2002 (at age 21) then Wang Liqin, Kong Linghui and Wang Hao in 2005... That's not bad. And yeah of course Waldner or Persson were better (I'm not so sure for Gatien, he never won anything else than the 93 WTTC), but they're from another generation.
+Le TDD your video title should have been "Schlager!! The man who beat the Chinese". He beat Kong Linghui etc.. along the way to winning the Biggest Major, The Worlds.
John Mcevoy That's why the title of my video is "Timo Boll, the man who COULD beat the chinese", because I don't think he is less talented than Schlager, but he never managed to what Schlager did in 2003 because he choked on the majors...
You'll need to show a video of a chines team member who has not retired. Remember if your 25 year old chinese pro you're old. They start playing when their four. And if you can't be 1-3 in the world...you don't play. Ma Long. Fan zhen dong and xu xin are just too good.
That is the reality in every single sport. However it's just pure probability. How many Chinese people live across the globe? No wonder you can easily pick one or two, who are good at something. Germans are very good at many sports, not only table tennis, although the population is much smaller. This is remarkable and related to money as well. When country has money, they can pick up talents earlier and invest in their training.
ABT he was the biggest threat to the Chinese. Even liu guo LIANG was afraid of him. Dima WAS once very dominant for a short period of time but now has seemed to lose his momentum due to his wedding and injuries and such.
@@KOBEROCKS777I think the Chinese lost the WTTC to Schlager and the 2004 Olympics to Waldner/Ryu Seung Min.That was during Boll's prime.The most hyped for sure.
It takes Bolls to beat the Chinese.
Hardy30680 Ahhh.... Yees REALLY!!
:D 😂😂😂😂😂
Hardy30680 lol😂😂😂
Oooo dammm..
all Chinese but ma long
@@n.trophycollector7684 he beat ma long 4 5 times
Not only he was one of the greatest, he's also one of the most humble and polite.
kitkaneth agree
I will totally agree with you
"was" he still is!
No was, he is very good now
That would be definitely Lin Yun Ju
After the 17 year old beat Ma Long and world no. 1 Fan Zehndong and won 100,000$ he did not celebrate not to say even smile

Maybe.

Me
+Nan Xing Probably Jun Mizutani or Yuya Oshima
+Blitzkrieg37 If Mizutani was it we should have seen it by now
A true gentleman and a legend of the sport.
The second most respected foreign player in China, after Waldner.
He told that he loves to be almost not recognised and spotted in germany, while beeing an absolute super star in a diffrent country, china.
Btw how is he doing right now?
Ive watched the world list and he is on 33 now :(
I guess his worst position since whenever he was 33 last time?
I always hope that he can play on and still win something. I guess aslong he has fun with it, he will keep on playing.
Unfortunately he cant beat age.
Is just crazy how long this man stayed on the top of the game.

Timo is a legend. I`ll cry when he stops playing... :( Greetings from Germany
+TableTennisHQ Thanks, Timo is the the first player I ever watched and that made me love table tennis, I thought he deserved that
+Le TDD Great video by the way. So many awesome points, but 3:13 - 3:32 just incredible and with the music it feels out of this world...
TableTennisHQ Thanks it's my first one ever I'm glad you liked it, maybe I'm gonna do some others now
😔
so sad now
I started playing table tennis because of this video, everyday I used to watch this video. I reached state level competition from my school selection in under a year !! (Altho could not secure any rank but this video certainly made table tennis 100x more cooler for me !!!!!!!)
Wow, that's really great to hear, I'm glad it inspired you that much ! If you love table tennis and you're ready to work on it as much as needed, then everything is possible.
You know you are good when Weixing claps for you
Correction: The man who CAN beat the Chinese
I heard the second song like 'my timo'
My demons :)
Too😂
AND HE CAN STILL BEAT THEM!!!!!! #worldcup2017
Roko Meter also #Germanopen2017#Nowin2018#Timo#Readytobeatchinese#
Father of Timo Boll... great respects and thanks for inspirations !!!
Definitely Timo is forever champ in my heart too :)
For me he's the best no matter how much he wins or loses he is the #1
When they play the ball it always looks like there is some magic force that pushes the ball onto the other side of table (i guess it's spin + magnus effect) that looks so awesome how it drops even at the highest speeds.
A living LEGEND
lol at 3:21 he transfers the paddel to his right hand
at 3:21 he transfers the paddel to his right hand
At 3:09 he did it too.
omg
WTF he is a machine!
paddel LUL nice england son
Lots of people can do that
I personally think, after a humiliating loss against Jingkun in the Grand Finals, Boll is going to come back even stronger in 2019. After all, the man has adapted so well to changes in the past. It’s time for him to do that again.
5:00 - 5:35?? I thought this was Timo Boll highlight video, not a Ma Long wrecks Boll montage
Well I know, but there was a sad passage in the music so I choosed to add some tragedy see
+Le TDD As a rule, highlight videos shouldn't include losing points, unless they are point of the century rallies, such as Ma Long vs. Fang Bo WTTC 2015, where Ma Long lost the point but it was so epic
+comm11 Since when are there rules for a compilation video?
An artist sometimes has to break the rules
+comm11 not true. Boll especially has played incredible points and lost them. Also, the sad part of the music fits the losing perfectly (as the creator has already mentioned). Also there are no rules lmao
one of the best! really enjoy it.
It's nice to hear the ball bounce. Can the music.
Tim is an elite German legend.
he proved it again in this year world cup
The man who still CAN!
Timo Boll is and will stay the greatest german player ever :)
I just think Timo Boll should be sponsored by T-Mobile
Was it 2005 or 2007 when he beat Chinese top 3 in QF, SF and Finals? He completely wrecked Chinese that year. I think, after Waldner, Timo is the only other player that Chinese saw as a threat.

Yup... Timo in his prime was a nightmare.. He is probably at his 80% right now. At his level, its so hard to keep up fitness and creativity after 30.
Yeah but it depends, I think he was still very consistant in early 2010's (like in 2011-12, it was a great period for him, he went in WTTC semis and was WR #1) because he earned a lot of experience and that made him stronger even if he was not as good physically, I mean if you look at Ma Lin for example, he was clearly finished past his thirties
Waldner then Schlager then Boll. Pretty short list
Zorboid Orbb no? tokic almost beat ma long. how about weixing Chen ? how bout jorgus person ?
Timo Boll earned great respect. Table Tennis sport itself respect him. Amazing sportsman...
Most sympathetic Table Tennis player out there
Not in the shadows of Ma Long.
0:37 I never knew Edward Norton was so damn good at table tennis
A foreigner unlocked new level: China
But then recently he beat Lin Gaoyuan and Ma Long.
For coming table tennis videos, the only music that works is acoustic instrumental.
Miu Hirano is the one who could not only - she did beat them all on the Asian Championship with 17 years old and 2 of them without loosing a game 3-0. She did beat in a row World Rank No.6 Cheng I-Ching, World Rank No.1 Ding Ning, World Rank No.2 Zhu Yuling World Rank No.5 Chen Meng.
橋本絵莉子 yes but in the latest matches she lost horribly. i think the chinese really analyzed her game and are well prepared for hirano..
Yea they are very under pressure to win, of course. No she did not lost horribly, I mean she still plays good vs the Chinese players on the Japan Open she lost 0-4 VS Chen Meng but 11-7 is not a good result in a Game for Chen Meng against a girl is much younger with less experiences then her - also when Miu did beat Chen Meng before 3-0 on the Asian-Open without loosing a game, we are talking about the Elite also Liu Shiwen or Chen Meng got hard times to beat Ding Ning for example - you need to have good day when it comes to such high skilled players to win a match and Miu Hirano is still on her way to become a professional table tennis player and can already beat everyone without a problem world wide in respect to only a few players like Ding Ning, Chen Meng, Zhu Yuling, Wang Manyu, Liu Shiwen....
Super vidéo sur mon joueur favori :) continue !
Great ambassador of game who showed how chinese dominance can be broken down.

The Chinese were like "fucking German engineering Bruh".
And he still can
unbelievable
Got me all on fire. Thanks!
amazing video due to presentation of ups and downs of bolls life.
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
great music, great video ! :)
I was fed up by Boll's defeat , So I though this video will be a bit relaxing , but what the world want from me is to stay stressed up . :(
I could only put up with 5 seconds of this, um, music. I'm far too cool to listen to it
me too
Such a good joke
+Ben Webb world's coolest person has spoken guys
Dude u r so cool i cant read your comment
So Nice Timo Boll best player
pls make more great videos like this so keep goin man!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely agree!
Thanks for your video.
always i like him. Greatist player in the world~!
Great player/fighter/man..

So you're a legend only if you won the Grand Slam :) Fair enough :)
It's true,cuz I remember he has beaten ma lin in London 2012. A honorable player.
This title may be modified soon. ;)
There are 7 level of difficulty: Easy, Medium, Difficult, Hard, Asian, Timothy Boll, Ma long
00:09 - 00:12 - amazing feel for the ball. wow.
If you really like Boll, just say things about Boll. Why does Boll have to "beat" Chinese......
Wu Jason because he was the only one for many many years to break up the Asian dominance of the world ranking. It means a lot because of how much we esteem the Chinese war machine.
Wu Jason because he beat your balls.

Timo Boll.....One of the finest sportsman ever born with such a high spirit...
I love the title
I don't know what's so good about him.
+Shubham Digra He's one of the greatest european players from the 2000's with Samsonov and Schlager, and has a very good mentality and sportmanship
his footwork and consistency is pretty good is pretty high level as well, it's usually luck that screws him over
+Shubham Digra HAHA his only weakness is a lack of power.
+Shubham Digra Because he's been in the top 10 for more than 10 years.
He was no.1 in 2003, and after injuries he got back his no.1 rank many years later in 2011.

You just need to change the tittle to "Timo Boll, The greatest TT player of the universe!" lol

we chinese like him.he is great.
I like it very much

oh, i thought he was petting the table so the table would be good to him.
InvictuZ LMAO
he can play with both hand
As a Chinese, I respect him
