Epic Table Tennis Comeback

Timo Boll​ trailing 10-4 against Lin Gaoyuan in the Men's #ITTFWorldCup Quarter Final.... Watch what happens next!

[@bennypan2007]

Timo Boll shares the same smile whether he wins or loses. Such sportsmanship.

[@florianarndt6101]

He is balanced inside ❤

[@zazenforever4940]

This is mental toughness on Timos part. He is a class act and a role model for kids. No insane screaming after ever point- just quiet determination. Wonderful.

[@soffisaad5520]

Yeah. Truly agree. Always screaming really irritating buddy.

[@TheQzzyollie]

its amazing what a headband can do.

[@sportsmedia9994]

I miss Ma Lin :/ Do u ?

[@tabletennisacademy3612]

It’s actually a bandana

[@rsstnnr76]

Imagine what he could do if he was wearing a fanny pack also.

Look at ninja

TheQzzyollie He's a Blood

[@sothisistheend]

His name is Timo Boll He must have some hella sponsorship with T-Mobile

[@tylergesseman123]

was lookin for this comment

[@sothisistheend]

tylergesseman123 glad I could help

[@D8vid]

Like Mizutani with Mizuno

[@user-df5jv5rv1r]

good one

[@zevlibin8892]

can't believe it took so long for someone to finally draw this analogy

[@TheArtofGuitar]

T-Mobile is really missing a huge sponsorship opportunity. ;)

[@Dontjudgeme-jk4cb]

Lmaoooo

[@ezequieleralt]

Hey man, I'm sure Timo followed your down picking advices to improve his wrist strength and his technique :)

[@ronald2042]

You copied the exact same comment from two years ago

[@bantapanda2254]

Ohhhhh Timo boll, T-mobile, they sound similar! 😂

[@logosnaki]

look at to quailty of video. that's what we want for all videos.

[@CHEN-fd2ir]

There is a Turkish guy who watches tt matches.OMG! Ben de de Türküm ve hiçbir Türkün masa tenisi takip ettiğini bilmiyordum

[@joevilla4126]

Big respect to the legend Timo Boll.

[@joevilla4126]

I never taught Timo Boll was a world number 1 in 2018. Timo you dont have to retire yet you still got it, most old school are now retired, you can still beat new bloods and show how its done, nice job.

[@nicoslater8750]

So ITTF offers nice video quality only for unbelievable comeback of Timo ??

[@valerianrafael6432]

😂😂 imagine if ITTF answered this a yes 😂

[@bratac-full-stackwizards326]

yes

[@carlogabriel]

Great commentating by Adam B. Made me noticed that soft block from the backhand at 5:10. Epic match. Legendary performance by Timo.

[@rhyzekarnage7154]

i dont get it

[@BrunoNeureiter]

​@@rhyzekarnage71544th ball, Timo does a block with his backhand. It's called soft because he goes back with the hand, creating a slow ball and slowing down the game.

[@Seppi1310]

Keeping a lead is mostly just a matter of mental strength. And NEVER show your opponent your fear or concerns. It's what drags you down that lifts them up.

[@vincefrancisco9437]

Lin: I'm gonna win. Boll: Uno Reverse Card

[@keinealtsmehr2033]

Haha bro, so true

[@lilshorty1886]

more like uno reverse serve

[@zottffss]

More like: I’m about to end this man’s entire career.

[@marvinh1571]

3:23 even the photgrapher in the background is impressed :D

[@PatrickChoi]

Haha

[@fundamxd]

was looking for this

[@PanzerMold]

I saw that too. Lol

[@felixvu3753]

So this is the true quality of ittf.. I see you, I see you.

[@mikethebike2463]

It once happened to me in a double. We were 2:10 behind. From then we attacked every ball. And everyone hit, 10 times in a row. Thats about 20 years ago and I still can't believe it.

[@arnaud78]

At 10-4 in the deciding match the pendulum swung from physicality to mentality. Lin Gaoyuan lost the battle in the mind before he lost it over the table.

[@HipRob85]

Absolutely cool scenario

[@RandyDaGamer]

Indeed

[@RandyDaGamer]

It looked like he was going to cry

[@petkay1984]

Boll ist ne absolute Legende. Unfassbar, was sich in vielen seiner Matches abgespielt hat. Ganz großes Kino und einfach unglaublich...🏓😯

[@fredricklompero9779]

This happened twice to lin this year. Feel bad for him.

[@romeorey1661]

Fredrick Lompero the other one was against xu xin right?

[@fredricklompero9779]

Timo is a Legend. He is over 30 and still in the Game

[@chia-tanghsu4895]

almost 42 now

[@Searcher888]

Тимо Болл и настольный теннис - это синонимы. Лучший европеец !

[@Blowurmind63]

5:20 First time seeing professional table tennis from this angle. Everything is so much more entertaining from here. I think this goes for most sports such as volleyball. But I understand why they have to do that angled bird-eye's view.

[@val7957]

The quality is so good even scoreboard flags are moving lmao

[@180MPH_In_The_Wrong_Lane]

Look at Lin's coach reaction throwing fit and all 😂 priceless

[@123.Soleil]

Worst reaction ever, he should change his coach. Still can't believe this trash reaction from someone who is supposed to support you in win or in lose ...

[@zottffss]

That’s Liu Guozheng… how ironic cause Liu himself saved 7 match points against Kim Taek Soo in that 2001 Osaka team match in the deciding match.

[@doocrash6587]

This is what experience gives you. A heart of a champion and a mental strength of a legend

[@kadaya1102]

決勝局從領先打到被逆轉，這在中國選手之中相當罕見...感謝波爾帶來這麼精采的比賽

[@EdenOrbit]

This never gets old.

[@LeDrummerDu88]

6:40 "If you do this shit a third time, trust me you'll go in jail !"

[@CrAzzyWak]

I really wonder what he told him there

[@arthas702]

Liu Guozheng: Let me tell you a story about kim taek soo...

[@Fakeslimshady]

as if to rub in salt you get lectured by Liu Guozheng of all people

[@allenwang3331]

lol ikr Liu Guozheng, the comeback king, scolds you for losing to a comeback

[@anaconda_tennis]

Actually it was the third time in 2017. In Chinese Trials 2017 he led 3-3, 10-7 against Ma Te (lost). Against Xu Xin in WC (led 10-5 and lost). And now Timo (10-4).

[@JakeGiu]

Chinese team gonna beat Lin when he gets home.

[@Max-yp1iw]

Jake Giuliano hahahahhah

[@AmanSoni-vx7dw]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@invoke1972]

Not exactly.. They are all always wary of Timo Boll.. Over the decades!!

Invokations A what exactly do you mean?

[@yeagerist977]

Invokations A lmao my ass

[@bobmalack481]

I was the 'Lin Gaoyuan' of our annual church fall festival family games where a bunch of us 'regulars' would sign up for table tennis. We were basically 'garage players'. I usually ended up in the final against 'John', and our similiar ages mid-late 50's. I lost 7 years in a row, and using the rediculous 'Dan Seemiller grip.' In 3 of those years I had a 3-to 5 point lead for match and lost (choked) I even tried one year to play him with a traditional penhold grip to beat him, which didn't work at all with that non backhand. The 8th. year I finally beat him going back to the Seemiller grip (which is still a lousy backhand) I ran around almost every backhand to hit a loop forehand, and Im very quick for my age. I think I hit a total of THREE backhands the whole game, the game being 21 points.The ONLY thing I changed was my mental attitude, I was relaxed, and my mindset was to have fun, dont sweat and fume a lost point (common for me UP TO that point) I mostly had a blank expression on my face and only concentrated on the ball and my opponents racket, never even looking at his face, blocking out the children playing other games in the background, the gallery, and others milling around. If l lost a point I forgot about it and played the next point. The game is MANY points. If I won the match great, if he wins, that was O.K., we are not on the world stage as TT professionals. Needless to say I won the match by 5 points, and during that match for one BRIEF moment I thought 'Oh-oh, I'm ahead, now he's gunna catch up and Win'. I threw that outa my mind quick. Winning was wonderful after 7 years of choking the 3 of those 7 years head-to-head matches with John. And after ALL THAT, being 65 years old last year I tried and converted to the Penhold RVP grip and got the dream backhand I never had (for my level) and it's my best shot! I thank the Wang Hao videos, that grip and style. What a wonderful hump to overcome after SEVEN years, BUT I even changed and also improved..I WAS the church member Lin Gaoyuan...LOL!!

[@pongbuddies7480]

Thrilling! The world needs to know how exciting table tennis is 🏓

[@wolfk5200]

@@MrAlex-lk8zn Ufff 😂

[@timxiix3864]

If you are actively playin tt you kinda get a sence, when the game is over- you feel it when the enemy is mentally so much ahead even if you got a lead- that lead means nothing at that moment. The moment you think about loosing or the enemy being better than you- you loose

[@andreyivanov3594]

Just because he's a loser. Lady Lin, that's his nickname in the CNT.

[@gordonzhou9158]

because it's rigged

[@ariza356]

This here is pure experience. Lin was a promising player back then but Timo had nearly 15 years more under his racket. What a comeback he had!
