@Mario H I think he just means video quality, not player quality. Take this random video uploaded 1.5 months ago for example: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZhpktOXup_VqY0.html

@Mario H he was obviously talking about the video quality lmao

@Mario H I think you're overestimating today's table tennis. It's still just a table and two guys hitting at each other. I'd argue that the guys above wouldn't get smashed despite the obvious lack of movement in their playstyle. They'd still lose, but it's not that giant gap that you're talking about. Their reactions are still quite good. Then again, it's silly to compare since even the ball today isn't the same as back then.

@Mario H you say it like it's easy to play like these dudes

masanf Waldner doesn't usually "cho" after winning a point, and the chopper didn't win that many points...

masanf very much true

Yeessssss

Exactly

You smell like someone with a theoretical physics major. What has Waldner’s technical abilities got to do with his knowledge of fluid mechanics 😳.

@@yaweli2968 nothing...but I bet when you walk you're effectively applying Newton's Third Law.✌

especially that shitty brat (i forgot the name) versus Otvcharov. Very annoying.

jan one yeah why you mad? you like to yell like a little boy too? that speaks of how low your skill is. All talks and shouts only, no skills.

@@jrk1666 yes thank you, ahaha I remember now, Tomokazu Harimoto

They have what we called training

damn dude you are old af 2013. now its 2019

What’s the situation these days, 27 years later?

@@Michael.Eddington very few top class defenders. They are fewer now than in the 80`s

That is a women? lol 2 years ago

It was 21 for the win needed

This is an old match, they used to play to 21 rather than 11

And there was 5 serves each instead of 2

How old are you? A humble guess is that you didn't live to watch the greatness of JO. The tournament circuit was completely different back then, so you can't compare 1 to 1 in terms of number of tournaments won. He was in 3 straight finals and finished top 3 or better in 6 out 7 straight world championsships (12 year period). He went through the 1996 world championship without dropping a single set. He was in 7 straight team world championship finals from 1983 to 1993 and in 2000 he won again with Sweden where China were HUGE favourites with nr. 1, 2 and 4 on the world ranking. Waldners results are insanely good and in my book, he is by far the greatest ever.

Yeah..I can be Christiano Ronaldo on year1800

Waldner didnt use that much athletisism instead he used smart play of top class ball placement, blocks and third ball attacks. Waldner beat wang liqin, ma lin(even if ma lin got the better of waldner), timo boll who are modern day players. If waldner played in his prime today and if he was raised in this era i think he would be in the top3-4 today along with fzd, ma long, xuxin. But thats my opinion

ocho was barely born in 1987

Joe Marshall it’s easier to miss read the spin on the serve as you can cover the serve with your hand back then. but now those Waldner’s serves are illegal.

In the days of speed glue it took years upon years of training to refine the serve-return game.

Neji Black this was old table tennis then it got to 11 points and they changed switch thing

ben hubbs the tiny dabber Waldner won...

What an ignorant moron you are. This game is about spin. A drop shot (to drop the ball low and short, close to the net) against a chop will have backspin and is very predictable. It's also very difficult, and if the drop shot is placed too high (which is quite likely) the advantage goes to the chopper. Dumbass. 😏 Go play baseball. Table tennis is a whole new level, not suitable for you stupid Americans.

Walter's serves, block, and ability to change speeds and disguise his placement make him unique….

But Ma Long doesn't have power-only pace.His shots are flat with very predictable trajectories.Hell,a 14 yo Harimoto beat him.

neroma When was Kong in his prime? 2000, when he barely beat Schlager and Waldner?
