Timo was damn lucky to win this match. He started out extremely tight, made tons of errors and gave Samsonov a big lead. Kudos to him for find a way to win this incredibly tight match.

thanks! did not know about that option before

timo boll -my idol

I made a mistake, is the hardest sport in the world accordin NASA in elite form and the second healthy sport in the world, fantastic

samsonov fought so hard some of the matches were just so close and timo was under pressure but he one of greatest for a reason because he knows how to pull himself together and fight back to win most player wouldv'e have failed to win because of the huge amount of pressure but well done TIMO!!!

0:39 I just love how Samsonov plays his backhand. No long moves, just smacking the ball on the table :D

What a hard fight, the men of comeback, also bravo to Vlad!

Great Boll, great Samasanov, my european favorite!

0:40 Amazing shot of Samsonov.

Samsonov is the BEST! He got kick ass to all narrow-eyed china-made guys on Leibherr 2009 in Moscow, and Boll even didn't pass the quaterfinals.

What a great match!

Excellent match.

timo boll fought this one till the end...samsonov is and amazing sidespin player! He knows how to handle it and does it very well with his serve :)

Dear ttCountenance, Your channel is the best and thank you very much for your effort, but could you please not put any tags on your vids? particularly on the score panel? Really appreciated, thank you again!

Timo is in the shape of his lifetime. He improved his footwork etc. Hard to beat this year. I´m curious, how he plays during the world championship. He was slightly injured, but i don´t think, this will stop him. My prediction: He- or Wang Hao will be the new world champion.

lol i like how kreanga and maze are making a little chat afterwards

if you're fine with the summary of the match here you could use e.g. a firefox plugin that enables you to save this vid to your hard drive. The quality loss during the conversion (if there is at all) is negligible.

4:19 what a drop shot!! WELL DONE!! nice technique Vladi!!

Samson's backhand is pretty wild!

The second hardest sport in the world accordin NASA!!, and the second sport that balances well fisic and mental skills

i like timo's style

samsanov looks so pissed of when boll lifts the trophy.

wow, great performance by both players, but in the end timo rises as the winner :)

timo boll is the best !!!

timo é zika

Great final indeed and I agree with samsonov123 that this was their best encounter so far (and that's saying something). But, poor Vladi. Such a great sportsman (like Timo). I would have happily granted him the win this time although I am big fan of Timo's. Losing two European championships and by now the third Top12 title against the same man must be a tough thing to bear although their wins are more or less equally distributed among them. Anyways, I wish we see more of that in the future. Bye

Samsonov THE BEST !!!!!

Tibhar Player..I like samsonov..he uses the same blade with me...and Tibhar nimbus is great rubber ever...

hey where do you download this video or from which programme do you rec it.

Great, but anyway i miss the High Qualitiy Button. Great match !!

it dont matter how much topspins they made

jawoll timo

Samsonov blocks its the one of best of the world, and he is not blocking too mutch, he blocks when is necessary, and he attacks is very powerfull (spin) (sorry for bad englesh)

can someone please give me a link to a match where samsonov wins? never saw one...

still there is no person like samsonv

Who is the female TT player at 6:47?

i didnt know that table tennis also got mascots and cheerleaders until i watch this video!!

Is that persson on the left ? 4:33

Vladi in only one European who can really beat Timo Boll.

Maze and that chick in blue are totally checking each other out at 4:34 - 4:36 :)

and i though that i can play good table tennis...Vladi is greatest ever

4:3, 11:9 in the end... Quite good! :)

how much do they get paid

LOL its funny that in 9:10, samsonov is thinking "that could have been me ;( " XD

wow so how tall is vladimir?

samsonov makes me sleep

and the first hardest?

LOL i thought samsonov is from belarus, so why is there a polish flag in the end of the clip?

nice backhand 0:39

the table is shorter isn't?

why on the video samsonov is polish :D? he's belarian. (i'mean about the flag at the end score) gr8 match, samsonov was very unlucky...

@thayyatt You can turn these announcements off

3:40 - I was pretty sure Vladi will destroy the ball!)))

Haha these two make the table look so tiny!!! Samsonov is more than twice the height of the table!!!

What deal? I am fm taiwan btw...... Just living in singapore.....

he doesnt play with nimbus anymore

The strongest white players indeed. Fantastic!

GG

Take it as you want, dude, but always remember the deal your chinese brothers do in Taiwan and in Tibet.

I'm sure you know but there is an option to turn off those annotations. On the far right of the toolbar click on it and two options will come up. Hover over the first one, it should be red and say turn annotations off. That solves your problem. Hope it helps :) Jesus10019

awesome game... watch the girls in the last minute.... i'm in love(L)

0:03 Samsonov = Belarus 8:29 Samsonov = Poland

I thought he had 'em.

omg boll is so much betta.....wen he stops lobbing!!!!!!!!!!!

Its a shame that Samsonov doesnt really counterspin as good as his other skills, he ended up losing the match because of that..

In a better day, Timo Boll would have beat up Samsonov's ass

butterfly = maze and boll Tibhar = Samsonov joola = kreanga????

@jami9595 yes is person and maze . dx

who's the hottie that was signing autographs?

Great match! (and first comment maybe :D )

Hmmm.. Maybe Samsonov is trained with a different method? Thats why his footwork don't seem like a pro TT player

*** Two awesome players and that's why they are among the best in the world BUT Timo Boll is: Faster, more technical, more accurate and that is why he stands much better than Vladimir. Let's not forget Timo beat the top 3 Chinese players of the world back in 2005 (Liebher, Germany) to win the world cup, an achievement that Vladimir has never had. Peace to all///

Final was only one interesting match. Why Timo beat Vladi again? Because he is atacker and Vladi too much blocking...In this highlights ins t looks that, but i saw whole match and Vladi is just so much blocking...

haha lol

@ingullar I take that as a racist remark to chinese......

Its clear samsonov is the better one timoboll take it using his brain; im sad samsonov was just 2 points away and hes the best

У Лацінскай Амерыцы сардэчныя прывітання з Валодзя, якія ацанілі тут ...

not really... not even close

8:37 Polish flag next to Samsonov name lol haha FAIL!

lobbing doesnt seem to work against samsonov. that guys fucking tall....

wang liqin is bigger than samsonov

Samsonov sucks so much he always loses to Timo, I guess the fighters usually win in ping pong

Samsonov has good placing skills, but for some reason, I hate how he moves! he appears too lame, too lousy. Boll moves like a real TT warrior.

MAze look gay..
