Jan Ove Waldner vs Matsushita

copyright ESPN
[portuguese]
Esse foi o primeiro jogo de TM que baixei. Por sorte tinha em mãos um jogo de dois grandes mesatenistas: o sueco J. O. Waldner (campeão europeu, mundial (2x) e olímpico) e o japonês Koji Matsushita que é um jogador kato (atleta de enpunhadura clássica e que é defensivo, baseando seu jogo em backspin).
Waldner mostra toda a sua facilidade com o tenis de mesa. Observe que em certas jogadas ele apenas passa a bola próxima a rede e saindo pelas laterais e em outros ele desloca o oponente para finalizar o ponto na outra estremidade. Observe ainda a variação de spin (rotação), velocidade e força da bola.
Obrigado pela visita e aprecie!

this is the best way to show Table Tennis in the media... very good camera angles ! not as usal the sight from the top .. espn knows how to use their cameras ....

[@miltontordas]

I really would have liked to watch a match between these two in their best years

[@walxer77]

Fantastic exhibition match! Waldner is a true World Class player, the excellence of elegance!

[@schwarz_dq]

10:40 タオル渡すシーンいいですね。二人とも楽しそう

[@ttlegends3104]

sheer beauty of table tennis , genius of JOW will last for ever

[@Enkidu1701]

Hahaha, from the comments people really think this is an exhibition match. LOL. Here is a secret: It´s not. Don´t get me wrong, I love Matsushita, he was the greatest defender at the time. But be aware of what Waldner did here. He could do everything he wanted to Matsushita. And Waldner knew it. He switched in exhibition mode when Matsushita had still some hope to come back. But Waldner knew it was done. It probably was a even little bit harsh towards Matsushita when Waldner started exhibition, but you have to realize he knew what was going on in this game. This game should be memorized how a genius plays against very strong defense - great placement, control balls and the stops, etc. Mind you, this was a real game and Walner was just a little more than confident and he played like the genius he is.

[@cosmeticcarrepair]

It's usually the player that knows he's beaten that initiates the exhibition play, not the player who is doing the beating haha very cheeky Waldner. I agree this is not an exhibition it's a master at work.

[@thuyner]

+Enkidu1701 In addition to your comment, I think it's important to mention that this happens relatively often in table tennis and that it's never to make the opponent look bad, quite the opposite. In a situation like this, everyone prefers a good show.

[@cosmeticcarrepair]

+thuyner good point 👍

[@jaihind2816]

Strange comments. It's clearly either an exhibition or a friendly with no stakes game.

[@thuyner]

+Jai Hind "Clearly"? No. This often happens in big tournaments too.

[@Junimar75]

Exelente jogo.....De um nível altissímo O Japonês defende muito bem,e esse Sueco muito paciente.

[@lastxp]

Good coverage of the game including replays.

[@supritendant]

i,m so glad to see waldner in his young mode. soooooooooo relieved

[@Nightscouts]

super camerawork to show tt in a more attractive way then today from a broing top angle

[@sudarmadirheza]

Waldner, my fovourite player. This style is complete, Balancing in attack and defence

[@silverlz]

Nice game. Great rallies. Thanks for this video.Unfortunately today Waldner is no longer the player he used to be years ago. Is understandable.

[@hansotto8766]

every match of waldner is a big, biiiiiig show

[@wtfhah]

thankyou for posting... this match is an awesome concept

[@109eh]

Thank you very much for the coment. They was two excellents players. years later, the technique is remarkable and perfect yet. (He wrote in japaneses)

[@ll3yWanTeD]

2 legends. No doubt.

[@ninjaDu59]

Jan Ove Waldner...I don't know why but he makes me think of the undertaker of the WWE

[@Miguel53de]

Hi ingullar. Waldner won against Ma Lin at the Olympic Games in Athens. He let him look very old. I was there and saw it. Waldner then was 39, Ma Lin was 24! Don't speak about today. Waldner is now 46. Of course he can not stand anymore against modern Asian TT generation. But a bit more respect would not be so bad anyway.

[@ferrero8]

waldner played the play!! My Gosh!!

[@PeterWu777]

took him 7 points to figure Matsushita out, the rest is history

[@Cyclingchannel123]

*****, keep calm. Bad word is not necessary. Good bye and good day for both

[@neroma]

No. Not an exhibition match

[@shogrran]

Ma Long and many players in today's style of play would spin and smash those balls like there's no tomorrow. But players like waldner wins in a different way which is more technical in my opinion.

[@dickn.ormous1064]

Ma Long always struggled against Joo Se Hyuk who was way past his prime in many of their matches.Ma Lin wasn't much better either.

[@uctominh622]

i'm Asian, i love TT and anyone loves TT should show some Respect to TTplayers-who dedicate their lives to TT.

[@ぬくぬくどり]

最後はワルドナーも遊んでるね。こんな華のある天才はもう現れないだろうな

[@1996Johnny]

1:52 great pt of waldner

Matsushita demorou para entrar no jogo, no terceiro set ele melhorou muito, mas mesmo assim notou que seria impossível vencer seu oponente e resolveu transformar o jogo numa talentosa demonstração acompanhando Waldner.

[@Detherocable]

[@109eh]

@quentinleroy, I search at google, and Waldner playet with Matsushita about 2003/2004

[@kittw.6440]

great

[@snappingshutter.photos]

I feel like Waldner wasn't even trying, lol.

[@Alex-fe8sy]

Лучший в мире игрок против защиты победил лучшего защитника в мире Все приемы Matsushita которыми он выводил из строя других нападающих с Waldner не возможно применить так как Waldner гений

[@igorsklyarov6331]

Alex Вальднер - Велик, спору нет. Но, с большой любовью просматривая это ' теннисное ретро ' иногда складывалось впечатление, что Матцушита, порой играл не в свою игру. Скорее всего - определённое волнение тому виной.. Как знать.. Но на записи нам остались два Индивида настольного тенниса: каждый в своей эпостаси.

Master of Offense vs Master of Defense

[@pukulu]

Waldner had so much control. Matsushita was not a good match for him here.

[@chanleystow]

i never saw waldner play at this speed..

[@TheKarub1]

waldner is all chillin haha XD

[@kitzterII]

can you send me the download link thanks...

[@GammaRayBurst417]

good use of slo-mo, good exhibition of forehand loop technique, and why chopping for a living is pointless, literally

[@АлександрГабаев-у4ъ]

какие накладки у матсушиты?

[@tim99291]

can't defenders just keep their serve short? this one surely can't. seems good to avoid an initial forehand spin if you keep it short.

[@gustavmardby9364]

hell no! He has never even been the world champion a single time! Waldner has been that at least two times!!!

[@Thenakedchef5k77777]

エキシビションマッチだから二人とも遊んでるんですよ。

[@鈴木隆明-w1d]

Thenakedchef5k77777 　うるせえんだよカス

[@olaniyi570]

We know its exibition but the were still playing to wln the game in the beginning of the game. Waldner would have likely won even if this was a world championship match.

Waldner would never stand against modern Asian TT generation.
