FULL MATCH | Felix Lebrun vs Timo Boll | MS R16 |

[@Wole58]

As a frenchman who loves Timo Boll but supporting Félix on this match, watching it gave me mixed emotions! Amazing play by both. We'll miss you Timo, you are the embodiment of class and fairplay, and you showed your talent to the world for two decades. Thank you for everything.

Timo, winning or loosing, the respect to oponent is impressive. Top gentleman.

Ich wünschte, man hätte diesen großartigen Sportler und diese tolle Sportart öfters mal im FreeTV bewundern können. Für mich mit einer der größten dt. Sportler aller Zeiten. ❤

[@Keepcalm-lovesports]

Nicht nur für dich, ein absolut liebenswerter und professioneller Repräsentant für den Sport. Ich glaube er war bei Olympia sogar mal Flaggenträger. Mein Verein hat früher jedes Jahr Sommertrainigslager in Düsseldorf gehabt und man sieht ihn jeden Tag beim Frühstück und Mittag, er ist super bodenständig und ich hab mich über die Jahre ein paarmal mit ihm unterhalten. Werde ihn definitiv vermissen.

[@petermueller7407]

[@BadDog69]

Timo is absolutely amazing. Will be waiting to see what Ma Long's world ranking will be when he is 43 years old.

[@gongtaumaster-h9t]

I don't think Ma Long will ever play till 43 years old. Most Olympics Champions retire early like ZYN but Ma Long probably is still playing because the younger Chinese players are still a less skilled as compared to the level of him and ZJK. The world ranking is a BS anyway. If they're playing in the Chinese League, their rankings there will be shockingly low.

[@milchkanne21]

Süß wie Timo nach der Niederlage sofort lachen kann. Ich bin froh ihn solange beim Tischtennis gesehen zu haben.Alles Gute für Timo in der Zukunft!

[@Mr.Bagi0]

Timo is a wonderful, positive person and an exceptionally skilled tennis player. It's a pity that time flies. We will miss you at the tournaments.

[@kptlou5717]

One of the best Matches i have seen so far. Seeing Timos experience is just incredible.

[@euphoriaagain]

Love watching Felix Lebrun so much. He has so much speed and power! Seems like every new match I watch of him he gets even better!

[@skakollaettklipp]

Great match and a perfect end of WTT tournaments for Timo, passing over to the young french star. A great ambassador of the sport, perhaps the best.

[@Alexandros_Patsialidis]

This is my favorite match so far! Both players enjoyed it and had a laugh at the end. This is what a GAME should look like! Danke Timo für deine Menschlichkeit und dein Fair-Play über all die Jahre ❤

[@rlotustab8231]

Timo Boll is like a strong rolling ball .. what a game at this age ! And passed the baton to the youngstar Felix. Respect! Hope he will have fun in the Olympic.

[@jeanmi540]

Deux grands joueurs !!! Un match de très haut niveau ! Des échanges incroyable des 2 cotés. Et cette belle accolade et respect venant de ce grand joueur, Timo ! Magnifique image de fin ! 🏓

[@richardbright3826]

Wow what a match! Timo is still a monster of a player!

[@limittless.]

Timo showed that he is still right up there with the best in the world, that is absolutely amazing. This match could have gone either way. But kinda cool that his international tournament career ends against Felix who is half his age and the next generation. The cycle closes.

[@promotry6934]

congrats on an amazing career Timo, I always enjoyed watching you and I know I am not the only one.

[@jean-marclestic8150]

Great match from start to finish and great comments throughout from Adam. Thank you guys!

[@ichigoofy]

very tough game mentally for Felix. he did a great job fighting through a better opponent. Timo showed why he is such a challenging player against younger opponents because of his wide variety play style. Great game, Felix and his brother are my favorite players to watch right now. Timo show great composure and i appreciate his gamemanship.

[@eloimumford5247]

Exciting game , a new generation is rising . May the tradition of fairplay/friendship of Timo be transmitted . Without an opponent it is a huge emptyness at the table.

[@caligula1872]

Great Match from two world class player ♥️

[@pongbotstore]

Hats off to Timo Boll for an incredible match! His strategic brilliance and fighting spirit against Felix Lebrun showed why he's such a respected player in the table tennis community.

[@fo76]

Two of my favorite players... Timo, one of the greatest of all time, and Felix, who already is great at a very young age, and who will hopefully become even greater...

[@thomasfischer5940]

Timo war in meiner Jugend ab und an im tv zu sehen. Wir hatten jetzt in der Firma ein Tischtennis Turnier und uns Jungs hat der Sport extrem Spaß gemacht. Ich wusste garnicht das Timo immer noch aktiv ist. Der Sport ist extrem geil anzusehen 🥳

[@dragonviggo]

Danke Schön, Timo. Merci ^^ This closed game between the old generation and the new one is the best way to pass the staff for Felix. Take care and thank you.

[@michaelengelstad2055]

What a match. I hope Timo has fun in the Olympics.

[@DavidPricking]

Timo can still beat every player in the world. And know he will play his 7. and last olympic games. He only plays in the team. I wiah he would play the single, too. Grandpa Boll is soooo strong.

Timo the Legend! GG

[@meilstone]

I read an interview with Timo in which he attributes his special powers to an exceptional eye-sight in terms of perception of moving objects at a high pace. He can see the mark on the ball to detect the spin in real time.

[@danielrenaud4639]

Nice to see Timo give a big smile at the end ! 👏👏👏

It's a pity that Felix almost never apologizes to net rollers etc. Boll of course always. Gentleman. Of course, Boll has long since passed his peak, but he has a huge respect for this achievement at this advanced age

Hopefully not the end of the gentleman's era. Timo please come back and enjoy the party with us.

Timo Boll, la légende, sympa en plus. Bravo Félix

[@benthekeeshond545]

Congrats to Felix! The last point of the match, Felix reacted to a tough shot by blocking. It was a weak block but the slower ball actually screwed up the timing from Timo. Timo is one old wise player.

Tomooo❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@alexismamadou2193]

Epic

[@david0ade]

I see that many of the rising star from this generation all have the same weakness, they seem to all struggle against heavy spinny topspin players like Timo, Jang woojin and if Xu Xin was still at his prime today he could be a trouble for Harimoto and Lin yun-ju both whom have never beaten Xu Xin yet before he retired

[@gongtaumaster-h9t]

Xu Xin recently claimed he would win against Lebruns even if he plays them today. Now you will understand why I will need a talk with Boll.

[@david0ade]

@@gongtaumaster-h9t That is what I was trying to point out here is that Timo did cause a lot of trouble to Felix because of his spinny shots that the younger generation have trouble against but there's no need to say Timo is disgrace he is already impressive enough. We can already see Felix had trouble playing against Jang Woo Jin who is FH dominate spinny looping style similar to Xu Xin and that's simply my point it's all to do with style countering style nothing to do with certain player or nationality

[@gongtaumaster-h9t]

@@david0ade I may be flamed or misunderstood by you but I'll say again in a different way. I'd rather Timo loses to someone like WCQ, Liang, Hugo, Fan, Franziska, the current Malong than the Lebrun brothers who are absolutely not on par with anyone I mentioned above.

[@OlivierLebo-n3h]

Maybe because Timo and the likes of Xu Xin and Ma Long used to learn their craft with the older ball. Gauzy was able to win once vs Xu Xin because he's a spin wizard ( Both are) for instance. Since the new ball was introduced power is now more important than spin. That's a theory.

[@david0ade]

@@OlivierLebo-n3h Yeah I agree with the newer ball it's lesser about spin. In the old ball era, you can see most of the top players like Timo, Ma Long, Jike etc. would have no problem playing against the top chopper, with the newer ball today, the top chopper although they too will struggle and can't rely on just chopping but the newer generation top players like Harimoto, Lin Yun-Ju also struggles against the top chopper they can still beat the chopper but not by outstanding margin.
