interesting how different the players move compared to now

[@jesselabadlabad1916]

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.

[@SkepticalCaveman]

Saive brought out the best play from Waldner.

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

[@kumansky]

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

[@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. 😮

Did he win the point @1:00? I can't tell... it's apparently filmed with a potato (or recoded four thousand times).

[@PingPongPursuit]

Saive won the point with drop shot
