Дима молодца! Так держать 👍💪💥👏

[@marshuswp3325]

Please continue with this beautiful, relatively low and dynamic, angle! It makes watching table tennis so much more enjoyable and exciting. This is what we have always been asking for. Thank you WTT! ADAM BOBROW as commentator would be the icing on the cake.

[@TP-mp5lk]

That is why I like TT so much. Two excellent players with very different approaches. Dima centering very much on his backhand (using backhand grip constantly) while Anton likes to pivot and use his forehand from the backhand side.

[@apflor323]

Good observation... This games shows how much the game has evolved where before, pivoting for the forehand was conventional and backhand was just for keeping the ball in play. Now the backhand is used almost more than the forehead.

@@apflor323 The funny thing is that Ovtcharov is much older than Källberg :D

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@apflor323 The game has evolved but Ovtcharov's style is taken straight from the extremely bh dominant style of Mazunov in the 80's.He's just lucky the game style shifted towards that trend.

Great performance, Dima👍👍👍

[@alyciawang2892]

Thank you 👍👍👍👍

[@marshuswp3325]

Very entertaining match between Kallberg and Dima! Can't wait to see these two go head-to-head in the German league next year. Dima's dream team should be a favorite with the likes of Lin Jun Yu and Harimoto also among their ranks! Great to see Dima already back in surprisingly good form after being out of action for so long with ankle problems. Was really missing him.

[@youngboyshameln]

Dima won't play in the League sadly

[@watson10132]

Love it, great angle!

[@marshuswp3325]

Yes, much better!

[@orionilian]

I'm glad that there are other commentators ... not only Bobrow

[@TheBobbymcd]

my fav player is back..i really enjoyed this one and i hope Dima works more on his forehand from here on in....it would be like an extra weapon as he has so much in his armoury already. yea was wondering why it looked so dynamic..people are saying its a new filming angle..I Like It!

긴장된 순간들... 잘 보았습니다!^^~

[@user-iu8hb5cw5o]

при счете 2:1 по партиям, когда Карлберг перехватил инициативу и сравнял счет по партиям было ощущение, что Диме уже нечего ему противопоставить, но он выцарапал эту победу, за счет опыта, видно как продумывает куда и как надо сыграть и у него это получилось. Не ожидал. Заслуженная победа у ничуть не менее слабого соперника

[@TTL-oe5yz]

In this game, Dima's backhand serve was poisonous to himself.

[@Bxrzoi]

Nice point at 2:50 💯

[@MaxPower2307]

With Dimas new Blade, he plays way more counter Backhand Topspins than his big Backhand swinging winners or final smashes against long underspin pushes in his Backhand. I'm missing his big Backhands :/

Great

Did they film this with a phone?

12:16 BH overpowering FH ... not something you see often.

[@ttime9947]

14:34 sooo close

[@doopymobile7428]

Dima getting better using Butterfly.

[@shenzhenpingpong]

Kallberg cannot loop on the table if he has to move. Only reliable if he doesn't have to move. So many missed balls. Giving away free points means Ovtcharov doesn't have pressure to play at his best.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

His forehand looks very clunky.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@ttime9947 Kalberg.He has a very wide stance but it seems like he's always late/caught on the backfoot. Ovtcharov of course has a very unnatural style but he gets away with it because he trains like 8 hours a day.

[@ttime9947]

@@dickn.ormous1064 But his backhand is one of the best (Ovtcharov)

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@ttime9947 He has a great backhand at the expense of his forehand,it's the 80's Soviet approach as evidenced by Mazunov.

[@druidzown]

Kallberg is dirty for that...14:10 ......

[@inyourface123]

Yeah, I was surprised too.

[@okeyboy99]

Didn't hit the shirt, and even if it did you cannot tell with this video quality.

[@romanponomarenko1588]

Pretty sure it didn't hit the shirt. Neither thought any of the umpires, was watching the match live. I think Dima should stop searching for points, it's not cool.

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

So many illegal serves Kallberg, too many...
