Dear ITTF, please upload more KLH matches , his style is so unique and in the internet there aren't many vids in good quality with him like this. I suggest also his doubles matches from Sydney and Athens Olympics, 2003 WTTCs - especially doubles final and singles quarter-final against Qiu Yike (who eliminated Timo Boll, that time No.1).

Samsonov is always credited for his passive Skills - his Blocks, his touch, serves and receive! But people forget that he was an offensive machine as well! His Bh-Topspin was and still ist rock solid!

So glad to finally be able to see this match. I wanted to see how well Vlad played to beat Kong & reach the final in 1997....since the only widely available video of him in this tournament is in the final itself, when he ran into the brick wall that was a mature and unbeatable Waldner and was overwhelmed. And, Vlad did indeed play aggressive and excellent stuff!

A great match. One of Vladi's best; Kong played well too. Still amazes me he beat 4 Chinese players on his way to the final - including Kong, Ma Lin and Wang Liqin.

Samsonov remained world class for longer than any other player that I can think of except possibly Waldner. It should also be mentioned that Jorgen Persson has remained a strong player for a long time too.

In the 90s, besides Waldner, Samsonov and Schlager were China's greatest threats. That's because their players had many weaknesses, i.e. Kong relied mostly on his forehand while Liu depended solely on his serves. All these weaknesses were gone when Ma Long, Zhang Jike, Fan Zedong, & Xu Xin were on the team.

Samsonov playing like an old fox even when he was young! Always the schemer, just when you think you won the point, he’s suddenly well balanced and makes a strong topspin block. Is there any player who has consistently beaten Samsonov? Challenging his consistency and spin seems so awkward.
