He is one of the best table tennis players ever. But as an artist he is the best ever. No one is even close😎

[@pongbotstore]

Jan Ove Waldner truly is a table tennis legend! These points showcase his incredible skill and creativity. What a joy to watch! 🏓🌟

[@cfpau]

Hands down the best ball control player of all time.

[@Jochen69]

I really feel like Waldner is to table tennis what Roger Federer is to Tennis. They might not be the goat in terms of stats and success, but noone has ever made the sport look so easy as them.

A total genius of ping pong! A GOAT!!!

[@Education1992]

Chinese players play like robot, Waldner playing style is an art

[@chifaiman1126]

At 56 seconds is really grandmasterful with such a far and high return. Also making a point with it! Even Saive could hardly believe it!

[@Thomasringpetersen]

When waldner Got a slow highball and he could smash. He changed his grip slightly and smashes the Ball sometimes out of the court ten meters away from his opponent. Never seen anybody do that. Looks like completely crazy risky shot, but he did it everytime. For sure the best smasher of all time. 😮

[@tsombrios22]

sensational !!!

[@rudyyosef6110]

My favourite Jan Ove...the best

[@KennyMcGavin]

Waldner playing TT reminds me of how Andrea Pirlo looked playing football. They made their respective sport look absolutely effortless, all while landing some of the most insane shots/passes you've ever seen vs the best players in the World. And to top it all off, even their nicknames are quite similar, being "Mozart" and "The Maestro" 🎻🔥

Capo di tutti i capi

[@henkp4192]

In de tachtig en negentiger jaren veel tafeltennistoernooien bezocht. (Top 12, EK's en WK's) Partijen van Waldner waren altijd favoriet bij het publiek. Ooit op een top 12 in Charleroi Saive compleet vernederd zien worden. Eerste 2 sets iets van 21-9 en 21-6 (toen nog best of five tot de 21). In de derde set liet Waldner de touwtjes even vieren en werd het 20-20. Op dat moment zag je echt bij Saive iets van laat ik die 2 punten maar weggeven want anders moet ik nog een 4e set spelen.

[@thesubhumancomedy]

He was an artist. He often, it looked like, played for the audience.

[@SkepticalCaveman]

Saive brought out the best play from Waldner.

[@JimmyOlsson]

1:47! One of the most famous table tennis points ever!

[@omotaraibiloyetwentyninete6279]

man waldner really wiped the floor with young timo boll🤣😂

[@terryvaughn5066]

Ove is absolutely the goat of TT. His game was and is the only game that caused professional sports federations to recreate Their game. So sad, I hope full court tennis doesn't make the same mistake. I still love it. Thanks for the memories. Ps. Ping pong and table tennis are two different sports and The players/fans of both know it. Oh well, the party is in the basement. 🎉

Yes he is. Today. But that is like comparing Pele or Maradonna to Messi or Ronaldo. Some athletes were the wery best of their time even if other athletes then surpassed them. Waldner was at his time the best.
