- This is how Mihai Bobocica made the history of the Italian table tennis at ITTF World Table Tennis Championships Finals in Durban. Any italian player before him had ever managed to qualify for the round of 16 of the men’s singles.
After beating the Egyptian Ahmed Saleh and the French Simon Gauzy, he also managed to win with the Spanish Alvaro Robles, earning a place in round of 16. Bobocica must give in to the Japanese Tomokazu Harimoto in four sets.
His incredible performance will remain in history.
So cool this was in Durban, South Africa!
Does this dude every get tired? Jesus, he's relentless with his topspin attacks! This is nearly china level of offensive barragery! I wonder, if Bobocica can every play a tournament like this again, or if he was a one trick pony? Besides him playing out of his mind, its nonetheless funny to see how big the gap to the real elite players is. He played possibly the best tournament of his life, and harimoto schooled him with a less than average performance!
Harrimoto may have won the match but 2 of the games went to duece which showed that Harrimoto could have easily lost too.
To be honest 3 sets ended 12-10. So it wasn't an easy match for him.
@@yardmanvibes3559 not true. These points show exactly the difference in (mental) skills. Although the italian player played the tournament of his life, he couldnt seal the deal. Thats what really differs very good players from the elite. Their ability to perform under pressure!
@@janosch7210 Harimoto has been in the top level for several years, having wins over Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin recently. I think the experience factor plays a big part too.
@@matmagix3845 of course it does. But that doesnt contradict my orginal statement. And all of the discussion in here started because of that.
I was saying the italian guy played the tournament of his life and lost nonetheless against Harimoto pretty cleary. Then a guy in here wrote, that it wasnt that clear, because the Matches went 11:8 or smth most of the time. But my point is, if all the matches end like that,, its quite clear too. These players are like 'the same level good' in the technical aspect. But the one that wins 3 times 11:8 is just better mentally.
And thats were you junmp in. Of course with these hard matches, Harimoto had more time to experience and practice his mental game.
For someone I have never heard of, this is a most incredible achievement.
Because you havent heard of him. Dosent make him a poor or weak player. He is a stong player thats been in top 100 for multiple occasions. Besides he has been playing for a long time in German bundesliga. So you not knowing him, maybe say more about your knowledge ;) or lack of it
Even when I'm Spanish and it hurts that he defeated Robles, I have to say that Mihai is a very dynamic player with great touch, great reaction time and counter-loops. It is very entertaining to watch his matches and I hope that he keeps climbing on the world ranking and qualifying for more tournaments.
The number of edge balls he catches is crazy - what a fantastic touch play this guy has!
Good fighting spirit player❤😊
What a Great Player Mihai Bobocica 💫💙
Too bad he couldn't shut the screamer up...
the low framerate is unfortunate
a shame they went back to side table camera view as well. It was much better with the camera lateral-behind the players.
Matches are so entertaining. I really like the aggressiveness in the matches.
Brividi!
Excellent performance beating better ranked and experienced TT players. Asking him to beat number 4th in the world would be just too much.
What a completely sick gameplay.
3rd set with Harimoto 12-14 score is already a big achievement, salute Mr Italian Dark Horse
Nice middle game!
Ikut menyimak bossku
Is this video 1.25x speed or something else?
No
感觉没有杀板，缺一口气，打挺好的了已经
AWESOME PLAYER
Harimoto won by shouting! 🤣😂😆
super impressed , superman is a child :)
The comebacks are just crazy
The umpire at 5:33
Smart play
It would have been NICE if he could have won over Tomokazu Harimoto 🏆
Next, FZD?
Congrats to Mihai, such a great performance for a romanian player who decided to play for Italy.
he was 8 years old when he came to italy,so you are a bit mistaken
@@ttazzurronapoli7515
Even if Mihai came to Italy when he was a child (and became an italian citizen) that didn't bury his romanian roots, right? His father (who died a few years ago) trained the national team of Italy, so chill man, i know a lot about tt and of my romanian brothers.
Im sorry i got the nerve to mention that one of the best italian performance in (2023) table tennis was accomplished by a romanian.
Ps: we have a very very strong tradition in table tennis with great results, even nowadays. Pps: There are also other romanian players who decided to represent different countries and (as u know, i suppose) the best example is Kalinikos Kreanga (Calin Creanga).
Peace and love!
@@viclean2926 what i wanted to explain is that he is an italian citizen, not only an italian player. it is the same for ovtcharov for example.
@@viclean2926 For 7 years in a row the TT national champion of Luxembourg was Traian Ciociu. And you have that huge number of Chinese (mostly female, but let's not forget Harimoto) players who play for other countries and distorted competition. What I mean is that you are right, you cannot rule out one player's roots.
@@viclean2926 Bobocica not only grew up in Italy, but also formed himself as a player in Italy, not in Romania.
I'm sorry for you, but he's not a romanian player, he's the result of the italian TT federation. The case of Creanga is completely different: Creanga formed himself as a player in Romania, and only at 17 decided to play for Greece.
Made history ??? Against S.Gauzy ?? Please 😅
Gauzy is currently wr. 37 and has been a lot higher before. Gauzy is a world-class player, while this Italian guy was previously just unknown…?
Gauzy is currently wr.37 and has been a lot higher before….. oh I see thank you for the reminder BUT when it comes to play against a player with a higher rank Gauzy is nowhere to be found in a tournament or in bundesliga.
He got points with the last counting point in place. But since this system has changed gauzy can’t get the rank he got before
So, I agree Gauzy is a « blahblah » player but we’re talking bout Gauzy not Quadri or Assar, real warriors ( I’ve mentioned those 2 outside the top 10 to be fair !)
I’m french by the way so I don’t have any feelings involved.
This unknown Italian is RANKED 81., if you call that unknown I really disagree. At least, get on internet to get informations more accurate 🙏
@@l.franfort6340 you're really harsh on him here. The new ranking system is definitely worse for showing a player's level as it allocate pointa based on how far the player gets in a tournament, and not who he's playing against like it was with the old system. And I would disagree with suggestion that Gauzy isn't a fighter
@@ktosomcosom19 I’m harsh on him that’s right but when you’re supposed to lead your country to the victory you can’t get any soft opinion,
The only year he could have won the europoean title he missed it against another french player that gauzy could have played against him with his left hand so…
What’s more Gauzy still remains a top ranked player but we’re not expecting anything from him anymore,
Lebrun’s brothers are doing way better now on
And so, during the Wttc we’ve been skipping Gauzy’s performance to fully watch lebrun’s brothers playing.
Regards,
@@l.franfort6340 faut pas négliger la carrière xxl de Lebess quand meme....
Give him the new name Block-Block-OCIA ... No attacks gets past this guy.
Harimoto would like to have a word..
Scusate ma : nonostante io sia un fan di Bobo e mi piace molto come gioca. Come si può dire che queste prestazioni rimarranno nella storia per essere usciti ai sedicesimi 0-4 in una partita senza storia? L’unico giocatore italiano che può vantarsi di avere ottenuto dei risultati internazionali di rilievo si chiama Massimiliano Mondello (escludendo gli italiani naturalizzati tipo Yang Min). Fare la storia significa entrare almeno nei primi 4 a livello europeo, correggetemi se sbaglio. Ci sono piccole nazioni che hanno fatto per davvero la storia avendo a disposizione molti meno tesserati, soldi e mezzi dell’Italia.
D'accordissimo
Ciao, penso che nel momento in cui un atleta raggiunge un traguardo mai raggiunto prima nella storia del suo paese egli stia effettivamente facendo la storia. Fino a prova contraria prima di Bobo nessun italiano aveva raggiunto un ottavo di finale nel singolo maschile in un torneo come questo. Non stiamo parlando di vittoria di un campionato del mondo, certo, ma nel piccolo dell'Italia questo resta un risultato storico, senza nulla togliere ovviamente a Mondello, ai suoi risultati e agli altri grandi del tennistavolo italiano del passato.
Ai tempi di Mondello, c'erano la metà della metà della metà delle competizioni di adesso, quindi in pratica non avevano l'occasione di provarci un miliardo di volte come ha fatto bobocica. Scusate ma dire che ha fatto la storia è ridicolo. Appena ha trovato un giocatore di classe mondiale ha preso la scoccia facile facile.
l'Italia fa pena. Mutti nel 2015 fece 100% vittorie in A1, l'anno dopo andò in Germania e fece il 30% vittorie giocando come il più scarso della formazione nella seconda lega. A voi le conclusioni
Interessante come tutti quelli che commentano lo 0-4 come "schiacciante sconfitta" non si rendono conto che, se 3 set di quei 4 son finiti 12-10, la sconfitta non è più schiacciante per nulla. Se vi andate a vedere il full match, anziché commentare senza probabilmente nemmeno averlo visto, vi renderete conto di come Harimoto se l'è vista brutta. Per quanto mi riguarda la partita è stata apertissima, e stavolta è girata male a bobo, ma la prossima potrebbe tranquillamente girargli meglio. Per quanto mi riguarda ha dimostrato di giocarsela alla pari pure con Harimoto. Complimenti ancora Bob! Dai speranza a tutti i "vecchietti" italiani. E' stata un impresa emozionante e ispirante. Continua così.
