very nice match. and both styles are awesome, Joo's defence and schlagers art to play, like them really.

Джу как всегда стойкий и не покалибимый ждёт своего момента для атаки. Лучший защитник всегда приятно смотреть на его виртуозную игру!

I think it was very important for Joo to win this game because of their game in 2003. He even closed his mouth sometimes during the game (not often though but still a few times)

great match, schlager my favorite european player

Werner has super backhand loop

Purely epic.. at first Schlager really knows how to fight a chopper he knows where to hit the ball.. but sooner joo se hyuk knew that he`s counter attacks can beat schlager.. really nice

This was the most exciting game to watch I have seen.

No problemo Werner, you was already World Champion :)

lol facepalm Maze at ending :D

finally finished his dream:2003 wttc champship😎😎😎！！！

9:59 Richard Prause: “Scheiße.“😂😂

The end there was so dramatic, quite amazing to me. I was cheering for werner silently the whole time.

7:51 i didnt know the big man could do that!

joo is a good player cuz he waits for the perfect moment to strike. he can also afford to do that since his defense is godly. choppers arent stupid.. whoever said that

Revival of the 2003 final in Bercy...

what a great match !!!!!

Beautiful! The off+ power of Schlager and the rich Korean history of defense++ from Joo-See Hyuk. It was amazing to see the outcome of this match. A come from behind victory for the Korean. Defense won out. However, you have to give Schlager credit for some unbelievable winners. What killed him? The unforced errors... You must realize that when someone chops against topspin loops it combines the spin every time. The spin levels of the ball are unsurpassed at these kinds of matches!!

very hard strokes by schlager! first two sets are very amazing!

Schlager is so good in strategy!

I like Schlager's new loop. He should've win!!!

Great intensity from Schlager. And joo of course.

@TRaTSeRiF not so. it was the course of the match that led to the outcome. joo was looking to move into more offensive attacks. in the beginning schlager was varying the weight and spin of his shots not because of the short-long. joo was starting to get adjust by chopping lighter spin and attacking more often. that's why schlager started going for heavier topspin. because schlager's technique is more oriented towards counter topspin, he started getting worn down by the backspin late match

Great loops from schalger in the first set

Schlager is playing so excellent angles. besides his serves, which are a charm, he plays an extremely powerful forehand, which i haven't seen from him in a very long time. he always seemed to play rather controlled, but he's on fire here:) apart from that, joo almost guarantees a very observer-friendly match. very nice

Watching games like this, I keep wishing I had enough of an eye for the game to see what changes, because Werner looks like he's in absolute control right out the gate. It's always interesting to see a player win because he can adjust better than his opponent. Like when you see matches that go 6-11 11-9 11-6.

I think Joo and Boll are the best sportsmen. I learned a powerful lesson from this match: a control game will never win against Joo. Power games are the way to go on him.

can't believe schlager lost this one O.o

great match by Joo

@hello520111 Yeah, I know... Who cares that in 2003 they played each other in the final of WORLD TT Championship, right? Joo only beat Ma Lin on his way to the final, and Schlager beat Wang Liqin, no big deal. After all, what have THEY done to be at the top of YOUR list :) People like Joo Se Hyuk and Werner Schlager, as well as anyone who ever played in this tournament, are great players. And it doesn't matter who won this time. Both of them have done enough winning in their time

doesnt need it, Hes too awesome

totally agree on that.Just the amount of downspin is huge!

"2003 was a fluke, bitch!" - JSH

What a backhand... 02:23

that was enjoyable

very true

Very good

施拉格，野球的最高级别

Wish this had happened in 2003

2nd last round was sooo intense i wanted Schlager to win

ohhh the last point make me scream lol

Looks like Schlager was either betrayed by his lack of conditioning or had a mental glitch. While he was playing a short-long game, while going right into the body, he was dominating. Then, it looks like Joo Se Hyuk either wore him down or he lost his concentration and started deviating from his game plan. Still, the first 2 games were textbook examples of dealing with a chopper, regardless of the final result.

huauahu excellent match. but he(Schlagen) is still nightmare of Joo. [2003]

Hooolyyy crap. He's making a come back.

POWER!

@trocknorat Schlager is just getting old and outclass by most of the Top Players nowadays. After his injury years ago he wasn't able to get back in his prime when he was a WTTC champion. During his prime he has no problem with defensive players. Lets not forget that his teammate is a defensive player Chen Weixing.

revenge is sweet :-D

2:16 this guy steps around to kill the point with his backhand!

2:41 No spin serve from Schlager.

Chopper players are very good

ive never seen a pro defensive player get so utterly shredded in the first 2 rounds, but schlager just lost his stamine/momentum

@BebetoBrandini HEAVY sidespin ftw

07:51 werner schlager backand serve!!!!

@AngelDevil444 sorry it is 3 minutes.. haha

Schlager was on FIRE!!! He decided to win right up from his serves, just amazing! His BH topspin was pretty powerful :D Its a shame he gave such and advantage in the last set, still 9-11 almost one of the greatest comebacks :P

Schlager service fault too many but umpire no see

Joo probably got used to Schlager's serve by the 3rd set...

Schlager really looks old and conserned in this match

interesting that even Schlager lose the game... i always think that he ws better as a player and now i thing he better than Joo

great match ....but its bad coz schlager lost..

yeap That`s what i want to say as a chopper.

@TRaTSeRiF totally agree..the first two games were amazing.. mid of third he seems to have lost his concentration a bit I guess as he was approaching a quick easy win.. but i have to admit that joo did an excellent job turning the match from 2-0 to 2-3. Ps my favorite is Schlager.

It irritates the hell out of me seeing the Schlager fanboys praising him in every effing video even if he loses, but fact remains that Joo is a better tactical and controlled player than him...Schlager is one arrogant hotheaded guy!

Что ж ты Вернер слил так сет?! А как хорошо начал как в учебнике по защите...

Couldn't Joo beat him in 2003?!

Spoiler Alarm :)

老外力氣就是比較大，王勵勤打朱就沒麼輕鬆

Schlager has never been a very fast player, when joo began to attack , Schlager began to lose some points. Schlager has a great technique , but a lazy footjob.

I think some of Schlagers serves are far from being correct!

two of the worst players on my list.

shlager got no footwork LOL :D
