Schalger showed why he is one of the best, he has all the strokes (even though some are kinf of unorthodox) , the serves, and the actitude, even though I think his happy/choo poses were a little bit extreme xD
Deux stratèges de génie et un virtuose de l'économie du geste qui pourtant génère des effets tels que même le grand, l'immense Samsonov à du mal à bloquer. Vladi du mal à bloquer, c'est iréel et légendaire comme touché ce que Werner Schlager produit. Mon idéal absolut.
When you watch Samsonov`s Manchester`97 vids you see than Vladi had tremendous power on forehand. That was 38mm ball, of course. But before the ban even with 40mm his counterloop was deadly. Now they block it with ease, it poses no threat.
@taufoofar You cant tell where it is going until the moment the ball leaves his bat.. that makes his backhand so powerful, together with power and accuracy.
There are so many players who struggle against schlager. And now I see why, his serves are a set up for his big topspins, and his strokes are emaqulate. 5* : D
yeah I find that really weird that samsonov isn't doing better after the glue ban. I mean his game isn't about power but about technique. So I always assumed that he would do a lot better after the ban.
The best things is that Schlager and Samsonov have a lot of respect each other. Table tennis is a gentlemen sport, and I don't found this state of mind in the chinese behaviour.
superb match. it's true that the glue ban has killed samsonovs game. both have quite similar playing styles but schlager is just that bit smarter than samsonov. that's why he won. great match 5 stars
Looks like he's got a new blade (see 6:29), it's not his old "Mazunov OFF+" with handle of "Samsonov Alpha". But it doesn't make things better for him. His topspin lost its power. The glue-ban killed his play, IMHO
+ingullar В мою бытность профессиональной игры таких называли безумный любитель , относительно ног и вообще движений логики нет - это сумасшедший наигрыш . шлягера легко можно обыграть игрой в центр стола (огрехи движений рук ног будет наибольшими) , Самсонов же пытался раскидывать право лево .

Schlager's strokes are a thing of beauty. So low and deep. What a pleasure to watch.
To me, he looks very stiff. For me its more his effectivness and placement.
i love werner schlager , he is a master of backhand, absolutely amazing !!!!
Werner is such an excellent and elegant player, great strategist
one of the best games I've ever seen
Great match between 2 great tacticians!

Schlager is the most skilled tt player ever. If he plays cautiously, he can handle any difficult position on the table!
Thanks ttCountenance!! Keep them coming mate, beautiful matches in beautiful quality.
Thank you so muchhhhh !!!!!!!!
Thank You TTCountenance !
Schlagers backhand is strangly awsome :D
Both of these guys have been world number 1 at one point.

When the legends meet each other....

Nice win from Werner schalger

If schlager play so agresive in final he should win!
Schlager, god of backhand
ttcountenance ur the number one!!!
schlager was on fire that day
Schlager is four years older than Samsonov ^^
6:28 what is this rubber?
6:29 how this is donic? coppa?
2:42 Primorac!!!!!
5:29 excellent smash
5 stars video....schlager is great

Samsonov is getting old...
Great Vid, thx as usual ^^
schlager rules!
very right! I think he either wasn't really keen on winning this match or had his mind at his son :-)

3:57 hahaha great reaction

This video was also from 2 years before you posted this comment.
6: 28 wow Thibar Stratus Powerwood
Look at 0:57?
Is this serve legal?
opponent coudnt see the ball
This was a time when Samsonov made experiments with his equipment.
7:04 F*CK YEAH
when the masters play...
I just keep hearing "FUUGH"
Schlager needs to smile more ofter
bad quality :-(
who else laughed when schlager made his first noise
Schlager played to fast for Samsonov.
Техника а Шлагера безумно кривая , но он невероятно быстр и точен - парадокс
+Vladimir Monomah Да вообще непонятно - как он с постоянно занесёнными вперёд ногами в стол попадал!

5:30 gunshot
Schlager plays like oriental players. He does the constant small steps.
Безволие.
austria rules!!!!!1
5*
Hmm, no slowmo of schlager's serve. From a cupped hand and throwing the ball backward; it is sooo illegal.
