Swedich talk

[@davidbourne8281]

A great era in Table Tennis never to be duplicated ❤

[@tomtrana3449]

It was a pity for Andrzej Grubba that there was still a Jan-Ove Waldner in his era.

[@collectingtengu4905]

In hindsight Grubba would have deserved a big singles or team's title.

JAN OVE WALDNER ONE OF ALL-TIME GREATEST SO MANY YEARS ON TOP-FROM THE 1980-2023

[@MrVoodemar]

'Andrzej' not 'Andrej', he was Polish not Russian 😄 but "Grubba" is more Swedish than Polish

[@adamkul-zf5me]

Szacun

[@QuantumStates]

@Claire1Rogers Yes it is great what steffo is doing, but he is making me miss Waldner more than I used to! I wish we could see another Waldner in table tennis sometime soon.

[@wojbert]

how much did you pay for blade and rubbers?? i visted Paris in 87 and found racket Butterfly with two Shirivers 21 for 750 FFr that was around $150 and for Poles seven month of work.

[@adamnowacki6725]

[@DoctorEcclesiae]

A dlaczego Andrzej G. po przegranej akcji kładzie się na podłogę? Mądre mądre...

[@LOKOHOBBY44]

Ogromny błąd natury psychologicznej pokazujący brak sił, załamanie, rezygnację, nerwy.

[@Surcoufful]

You sometimes spell verbs too loosely.

[@TheComeback2life]

Grubba falls down everytime he looses a point. lol

[@JohnSilvershtein]

Раскатал швед польского гусара. Утонул гусар в "Потоп"!

commodore computer! wtf!

[@collectingtengu4905]

yes...😂

[@somebose7395]

The 3 swedes always knew how to beat grubba..especially waldner

[@NoSpeechForTheDumb]

I don't think there was a special strategy to beat Grubba since he was the archetype of an all-round player who won't show any particular weakness. You just needed to be at your own top and if that was enough, you won. 🙂

[@dickn.ormous1064]

​@@NoSpeechForTheDumb But Waldner wasn't at his top in 1989 WTTC,he was sluggish and Grubba beat an average Persson in the 1992 European Championships. Of course Waldner had strategy for Grubba trying to keep the ball away from his backhand,Grubba even in the mid 90's beat Kreanga/Primorac,his rallying skills were top notch.

[@NoSpeechForTheDumb]

@@dickn.ormous1064 That's trivial, everyone knew Grubba's strong backhand. My point was that the swedes didn't have any special inside knowledge about how to beat him, because there was none.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@NoSpeechForTheDumb What inside knowledge?It boils down to execution,Ma Wenge and Kim Taek Soo had pretty competent coaches and still couldn't beat Grubba. The Swedes did know what skills had to develop to beat him though.Waldner of course being the most versatile had the best score against him among Europeans.Waldner said in his book to dominate the World they first had to dominate Europe and he did face 2 wing players on big tournaments Klampar and Grubba in 1989,Primorac and Samsonov in 1997,Rosskopf,Mazunov etc.

[@NoSpeechForTheDumb]

@@dickn.ormous1064 man, your knowledge of table tennis is riDICKulously detailed but you just don't understand what people say LOL

[@TheComeback2life]

Im sorry , i forgot this was an english class,

[@kazikstaszewski6275]

Yep. Andrzej Grubba fell down finally at the age of 49.

[@miniorek]

He did not fall down but died of lung cancer and not at the age of 49 but at the age of 47.

[@collectingtengu4905]

I am afraid he thought it might have been a tongue in cheek comment. He died too young... 😢

[@kazikstaszewski6275]

@@miniorek Well death is a kind of falling down into a grave. But ofc Andrzej will live in my memories until i live.
