9:21 This is probably one of the most incredible rally ever played at this level in table tennis history. He started playing with his left hand and finished it with his right hand, looping with both backhand and forehand! Un-freaking-believable! It was too much to bear for An who after losing this point went on to loose 18 of the last 25 points and had to surrender to a player considered from now on as a table tennis legend: Noshad Alamiyan

[@zizo015]

this is just unbelievable..Noshad probably has the best backhand ever... he has almost zero forehand topspin and still can beat one of the best korean attackers ...no words..absolutley amazong and very entertaining player...

[@moeinsana4613]

Unfortunately, Noshad has an injured shoulder, so he cannot play forhand topspin please check noshad in 2013 play wang liqin

[@Keplan999]

Maybe one if the best but not the best bh of all time.

[@moeinsana4613]

@@Keplan999 I think he could be among the top twenty players in the world

[@thomasKL35]

@@moeinsana4613 False. He has a neurological problem, pingsunday said it and I'm in Noshad's club in france.

[@terencedavid3146]

The Iranian Noshad Alamiyan has one of the best back hands in the business, reminiscent of Karakesivic n Kreanga. He has some great variations in his service game, takes the ball nice and early, his hand switching is epic..all round a joy to watch. A fabulous game and a great scalp. Congratulations Noshad.💪🏼🏓

[@paullord3549]

I could watch this guy play all day. Truly mesmerising.

[@zizo015]

Did someone notice that Noshad changed to a penhold grip to play the FH loop at 10:00??🤣🤣🤣

[@hyn3k]

Darn, thanks for pointing that out!

[@makkapakka8091]

Looks more like a v-grip

[@TTDPocketRocket]

No way 😂😂😂😂. Next he will play with his feet. This guy can do anything lol

[@Shrimp0kUgel]

Hahahaha damn I didn't notice that, thanks for pointing it out. That's ridiculous. He's really full of surprises. Beating a top tier Korean like this..

[@razhorblahd]

It looked more like a western grip in tennis, or like an extreme Seemiller grip in table tennis. I watched on 0.25x speed

[@thomas_8310]

Mind-blowing, inspirational... Congratulations and thank you Noshad Alamiyan !

[@marcinz9728]

The most bizarre match I've seen for years :)

[@TTDPocketRocket]

I found a new hero. This guy is the most talented TT player ever. Plays with backhand only and even plays with the wrong hand lol 😂😂😂. His style is pure entertainment. What a player! He must have a disability or shoulder problem for not being able to play forehand topspins. If you look up his games from 2013, he was a normal player attacking on both wings. Check it out!!! The way he has adapted his game is unreal and still competing at the highest level.

[@diogenerodopaxil2653]

Someone explained elsewhere that Noshad Alamian's difficulty to coordinate his forehand game is of neurological origin. There was a pro player in France for whom it was much worse because the more he was playing the worse his coordination was getting. At one point he was barely able to play and retired early. But Noshad's talent is so great (his serves... 🤩) that he swiches all to backand, and he his so great to watch playing. Making a very good double pair with his brother Nima too!

[@gab5012]

NOshad is my new idol, the man lost a world class level forehand that would've taken many hours everyday to train, an entire fundamental stroke! That's years down the drain but he refused to let that stop him from performing at top level, he found other ways to improve his game. I'd say he the lesat talented player but the hardest worker

[@zhongfred5945]

So talented to play all backhand style in pro level. All the ball placement and tactics builds for backhand attack is just so amazing. You can see how well he practice and well predict every ball. Even though his forehand is a clear weakness

[@piing-poong7650]

Alamiiyan tactics like: 97% BH (with Lefthand) + 1% FH (with Lefthand) + 2% FH (with Righthand)

[@gab5012]

don't forget his serve though it's really good, his rallying is 97% BH and he does forehand more with the right hand though lmao

[@eFCiKay]

Very entertaining playing style 😂

[@AndyK665]

Watching two of my favorite players in a match without the nauseating WTT side angle is a rare treat indeed. Noshad's serve and backhand combined with the occasional hand switch are such a lethal combination. What a unique player!

[@ChessArmyCommander]

Noshad is something else! WOW!

[@nulldemokratiezwei7773]

Count how often Alamiyan is changing his hand @ 2:03 :D

[@diogenerodopaxil2653]

Great great match from Noshad Alamian!

[@sandroaplvideos]

Esse cara rompeu todos os ensinamentos dos tradicionais professores de tênis de mesa...😳😳😳😳Eu ainda não estou acreditando no que este desconhecido chamado de Noshad Alamiyan, fêz com o atual melhor atacante coreano! O cara só ataca de back quase 90% da partida, troca a pegada na raquete durante rallys e o saque dele deixa o adversário quase vesgo de tanta curva! SURREAL!!!!😳👏🏻🏓👊

[@easy-spa3176]

Énorme soutien à Noshad qui clairement démontre que le jeu académique que les entraîneurs veulent absolument te rentrer dans le crâne en enlevant tout le plaisir et le style de ce jeu vaut rien 🎉

[@user-io6bq5wg7f]

I thought Ovcharov is backhand oriented player...

[@magyarulnembeszelek1354]

Very nice backhand, ball taken very early.

[@KruglovAlex]

Since Noshad beat Lin Gaoyuang he became my favourite player with amazing style. Imagine he is able to made looping... Would probably be in top 5 in the world

[@amirpirakea5925]

he can . and he used to play with forehand topspin too . but one day decided to attack with only backhand🤷‍♂

[@bgmaster8557]

​@@amirpirakea5925 He got neurological problem and can't use forehand topspin

[@SyedShahnabAliGillani]

Man this guy is an inspiration to the entire table tennis world.

[@stipojozic6417]

just found my favourite player....the most attractive playing style on EARTH....

[@taynguyen7792]

This tells you that you only need 1 really strong weapon. Either forehand or backhand and consistency

[@TareqAstroPhoton]

True to some points, not always, my weapon is the backhand too, but i lose to all other styles and tactics, so BH alone didn't save me a lot in many games, but it is still my weapon when i have to.

[@shicheng2750]

Does anyone know what happened to Alamiyan? I watched a match of him like 10 years ago and his forehand attack looks totally fine. But now he even prefers switching hands over using his forehand lol

[@ajtatosmano2]

soe neurological issue

[@KeremBrego]

Yes he has some kind of nervesystem burnout which leads him not to be able to play a forehand topsin

[@KeremBrego]

It is some kind of neurological overtraining. Something which explains it from google: We don't often think about overtraining the nervous system. However, a phenomenon known as the golfer yips provides some evidence that overtraining the nervous system is possible. In golf, the yips refers to a catastrophic breakdown in highly trained motor skills. Yips was once attributed to anxiety. However, a 1992 research study challenged this notion. A relationship between golfer's yips and anxiety was not found. However, the yips appears due to repeating the same movement over and over until the athlete injures the peripheral or the central nervous system. The condition is known as focal dystonia. Now, focal dystonia refers to an involuntary muscular contractions of the muscle or groups of muscles. Focal dystonia can strike at any time. The phenomenon occurs in sports that require very precise fine motor control. Besides golf, examples include cricket bowling, includes tennis, table tennis, snooker, and darts. Now Eric Bristow, who is a well known darts player, is a classic example of how dystonia can affect careers. At the height of his career, Bristow was unable to release the dart from his fingers. It took him ten years to overcome this problem. In the meantime, his career was severely affected. Focal dystonia has also recently been described in runners, and it's hard to describe running as a precise movement. So this suggests that dystonia may be due more to countless hours of the same repetitive movement, to the point where the nervous system runs out of its ability to adapt and make the necessary repairs before the next practice session. An athlete, in essence, the athlete is likely to be training in the non-functional overreaching mode for a long time. And ultimately, the nervous system becomes chronically over-trained. It is characterized by an inability to perform a well-learned and well-practiced motor skill. And the condition was first described back in 1713, and it was a common condition among occupations where writing was the prime skill. Scribes and notaries are examples of these types of writing occupations. In 1911, the condition was called dystonia and describes an abnormal increase in muscle tone and muscle contractions. In many cases, dystonia interferes with the individual's ability to ever perform the affected motor skill efficiently. In musician's dystonia, the hands or the fingers may curl, there's an involuntary shaking, and they miss the intended key. Fingers may also freeze or shoot out from side to side. And the cause of dystonia is still, however, open to debate. However, it appears related to a misfiring of neurons in the primary sensory and motor areas of the brain. Now recall that the motor cortex is involved in planning, control, and the execution of voluntary movements. And when the motor cortex signals a muscle to contract, the muscles that oppose the movement, normally relax. For example, when the biceps contract, the triceps relax. So the hand is lifted up towards the shoulder. And the reverse occurs when the triceps recontract, the biceps must relax to permit the arm to straighten. Now when an athlete is afflicted with dystonia, it appears that the brain does not inhibit these surrounding muscles effectively. And this leads to a loss of muscle selectivity, and the movement can freeze. Repetition of the same movement causing damage to nerves is the likely culprit. Over a career, an athlete will perform similar repetitive movements hundreds of thousands of times, and this repetition potentially requires substantial repair to the nerve structure. An inability to perform these repairs potentially leads to long-term neuromuscular overtraining injury, similar in the way that other structural injuries occur. Now dystonia is not painful. It is, however, very frustrating.

​@@KeremBregoThanks that's really interesting ! I didn't find anything about his injuries on internet, do you have any sources ?

​​@@thomas_8310 sadly my sources are KZbin comments 😅 a neurological issue with movement required for forehand topspin due to overtraining. I hope he becomes more famous and maybe gets an interview or something.

Who needs a forehand when you got a backhand like that and can hand switch when needed?...lol. Very interesting style. I'm surprised that Jaehyun could not adapt. Impressive none the less to win like that at this level.

How can you beat a player as good as Jaehyun all backhand...insanity.
