Just wanted to say that this is a perfect example of how to edit a table tennis match! Thank you so much!

[@benjamintanis5903]

Samsonov is too clean. Just plays straight up table tennis the whole way. No grunting, yelling, or flashiness. Respect.

[@pranjalnegi980]

He was the only person who was doing ho ho in the entire match...nice observation 👏👏

[@mensurcutahija7071]

Get over yourself you simpleton

[@FilmonGEMZ]

one of my all time favorite players players A+ attitudes & styles. I want these guys for another decade please

[@daryldixon7419]

True and xu xin has not game on vladimir samsonov xD almost 3-3 sets

[@chaomeng3909]

I'm Chinese, and Samsonov is my favourite table tennis player. He is a gentleman.

[@Mischgi]

Damn, I really would have wanted to see a 7th deciding game. I'm impressed by Samsonov's perseverance and strength of will. He never gave up even though at some point he seemed like target practice for Xu Xin. Great match

[@anjoooo]

I feel like Samsonov controlled the pace of the rallies fairly well. He wouldn't be able to keep up with Xu Xin in all out topspin rallies so he purposefully kept the tempo low.

[@peterstill3760]

Samsonov, classy act and one of the smartest top players.

[@owen7666]

17:10 Samsonow with the ankle breaker

[@Abdulbasit-alshafi3i]

Samsonov's is the MOST LEGAL of all serves.. Right??😉👌👍

No, Timo Boll's is

Xu xin have such a great speed , really impressed with it .

1:32 amazing touch。许昕每一板都充满敬意

17:42 Xu Xin очень четко сказал, что он думает по поводу шансов Владимира на победу.

[@joyyoung-zp9ym]

Xu's condition at that time?

[@shogrran]

Samsonov.... the only guy with the most legal service in all of table tennis right now. The chinese are getting away with a lot of their services.

[@loveleensharma1443]

shogrran very true...

[@user-ko7ol5qg4g]

Woah watch the way u put those words.. not only the Chinese are getting away with their serves.. all players or 95% of them have illegal serves..

[@whitet-poison4834]

@@user-ko7ol5qg4g Well, i don't really mind throwing the ball to yourself, the rule was created in the first place to prevent players from throwing the ball TO the racket giving it a lot more speed.

Did Samsonov not have a coach here?

[@djohnsonli3496]

Old but still firm enough to fight_to win 2 games from Xu was not an easy thing...

[@AndreiMateusMancillaHerrera19]

Lol, Xu Xin won not by far. It was a close match.

[@davesplatz]

"Old"?! Funny... I think age is an important factor in the game of table tennis as tactics become more dominant than attacking strength.

[@Mike-bt3ki]

Xu Xin made a lot of errors in the first 2 games

[@ferkeltaxi2672]

Megaaaa Match

[@sarfarazpanjwani5946]

According to me...aggressiveness dominates the game..because when one is aggressive..it's difficult for the opponent to be accurate in his response to the aggresiveness...it's just my personal point of view..but there are points where a player plays aggresiveness but the opponent accurately responds and it's difficult for the aggresive play to respond since he is not in the position to respond

[@vorobieff8954]

Vovan - the Best. I v sean him on the Grand Prixe on the Worlde. Ma Long, Chen chi.

[@possy92]

I think in the last set the tactics of Vladi was to play very low, and maybe Xu Xin was trying to play to the corners but not sure.

[@hannah122702]

is it me or Samsonov looks real casual?

[@spacesanduniversediscovery4878]

Samsonov looking strict

[@jacobbunea3131]

In 2012, Vlad 11-1’d Xu, Xu had to come back and show what’s happened since, both are some of the world’s best players and it’s awesome to see this rivalry happen

[@serendipity5874]

The only thing changed was the samsonav got older and much slower than he used to be. BTW the match you are talking about took place in 2009. Vladi was 36 then. In this match he is 42.

[@philippelepage1609]

No chiquitas from VS. Having only chops and flips available on the service return is not enough to beat XX

[@termodox]

at 3:52 that serve from xu looks illegal. its way behind the right border, and also the angle look to be very big.

[@user-zc2vt9vt3f]

Xuxin´s FOREHAND is insaneeee

[@-danR]

The only Westerner to beat Xu Xin twice (or even once? not sure). This one was still hard work for XX.

Хороший матч провел ветеран. Старался не давать китайцу играть в его сильную игру. Как только китаец бил справа,тогда Самсонову было трудно,поэтому чемпион старался играть нестандартно для китайца,в перестрелке им нет равных.

[@Cleo-Sunshine]

VS is still solid after so many years but XX is just better, anyone less than a top Chinese player will likely lose to VS. Harimoto Tomokazu may be good but no match for VS.

[@decadence8473]

Harimoto has beat Samsonov, aint it right?

[@grimmer2005]

Vladimir has the most weird and funny serve of all time.

[@erkanerkan5483]

Samsanov blade

[@alexliwang]

1976 vs 1990.

[@Tactyoh]

I watch a lot of tennis, and Samsonov reminds me a lot of Daniil Medvedev. Both are tall, lanky, and have unorthodox styles (I think samsonov is unorthodox, if he isn’t I’m sorry).

[@user-to1kq6vq1o]

The Tactition when Samsonov started playing, Medvedev was still taking a dump in a diaper.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

Samsonov plays like Primorac.His style comes from his height and from using a fast blade.

[@farhankhanzada855]

6:02 6:03 Is it allowed to play with broken rubber???????

If it gets damaged during the game, sure. Changing it would be more of a rulebreaker

[@machoptx]

Samsonov looked tired.

[@-danR]

His expression looked more concerned, drawn, rather than tired. Beating Xu Xin is a big goal for anyone outside of China. But he was moving as well as he usually does.

[@saosurvive777]

because Samsonov is old

[@joyyoung-zp9ym]

Both looked tired.

[@peterschwarz2481]

2sets of respect for vlad from xu xin. sry to say, that one of the best players from the 90s have no chance to win against one of the best machines in tabletennis from today! the new rules, sets and balls destroyes tactical table tennis :-(
