★★★★★ What an exciting match with 2 dramatic opening sets then followed by a seesaw battle till the very end between a 16-year-old Chinese prodigy and a 37-year-old old-hand Belarusian blocker! Fan Zhendong's victory over Samsonov subsequently paves his way to the winning of the 2013 German Open and much greater TT success beyond.

After that match it was known that Samsonov was injured and wasn't able to perform forehands very well. That's why he blocked most of the time.

One of the best matches in a while. Impressive performance by the 16 y.o. Fan Z. D. and even a more impressive one by the 37 y.o. Vladimir Samsonov, which managed to put under serious difficulty one of the strongest chinese players at the moment.

5:44!!! A great ball! For me Fan Zhendong is the next Nr.1 in Table Tennis! He is a complete player and very aggressive! But Samsonov's Style seems to be the most effective way to beat this young chinese talent!! ;)

It is interesting to see that compared to Zhang Jike and Dima, Samsonov's style seems give Fan the most challenge. It makes sense for fast player like Fan Zhendong, good blocking and slower pace might be the best way to deal with.

I think the same way too. Samsonov played very calm, different paces in the games. He tried to stay close to the table and avoid topspin to topspin

The old man thought it's pretty easy to kill the kid. After second set, he realized that this is Chinese kid .... but it's all too late.

Coaches after the first game... Chinese: ok, you've given him a game... now kill. Vladi's: Take it easy on the kid.

Solaarize A. Petkevich coaches Russian national TT team, so probably he couldn't coach Vladimir Samsonov officially. He coached Vladi's in 2009 yet, you can find World Cup 2009 recordings on youtube and see A. Petkevich is siting on coach chair.

would anyone agree with me, if i said that fan zhendong might have the best forehand in the world!!?

@carlswindelliv2701 Жыл бұрын

Are u serious!!!!! No way!!!!!!! Wang Liqin had the best forehand

@phaikia13 9 жыл бұрын

Vladi and Dima are probably the only ones who can make the Chinese players work hard for a victory nowadays. Timo is getting old, Joo is already old, and I just can't imagine any other european player giving the likes of Xu Xin or Ma Long a challenge. :(

@skywalker1296 9 жыл бұрын

Wei Ren Lim Timo is still better than Samsonov and Dima. And Jun Mizutani is the best among the non Chinese now.
