Don't forget - Steffen is the dude who ended Wang Hao's tenure on the Chinese National Team

[@nishanbhattarai007]

I remember wang hao losing to him in the german open but how do you explain yourself?

[@druidzown]

what do you mean? Wang Hao was already underperforming before the 2013 german open. That loss to Mengele sealed his fate, in my opinion. @@nishanbhattarai007

[@marshuswp3325]

So happy for him seeing old veteran Mengel finally first international tournament win ever and likely his last (at the age of 35). Congrats to Steffen and Germany! Nettes kleines Weihnachtsgeld für den Rückflug.🖤❤💛🔥🔥🔥

[@GeneralTerzX]

Aaaand he got another one 😅

[@inyourface123]

Happy for him indeed

[@pingsunday]

Mengel serve is very effective, it's often topspin and really hard to read. Amazing game of Steffen

[@marshuswp3325]

Indeed, that, his formidable away-from-the-table play, and his very reliable chiquita flick!

[@davidkonig8414]

His serve ist so effective, cause every single one, is more than wrong 🤷‍♂

[@bennettbrown2025]

Effective, illegal... semantics

[@retro.gadget]

5:22 so cool

[@marcingromek9685]

Bravo Steffen. Nice tournament

[@ebenezerindi1766]

Mengel's serve is wicked LOL

[@crushedhearts]

well played by Mengel. but he has to rectify his serve. a stricter umpire might fault one or two more points which would be a huge difference.

[@bennettbrown2025]

Mengel tossed it 2 inches high on his best serves, and nearly a whole foot into is body. Ittf needs to further clarify service rules

[@KYchiu402]

Mengel was famous because of Wang Hao

[@DuyTran-eq8yw]

Defeated Timo Boll in 2013 - 10 years later he is back in form.

[@vsh555]

An was visibly tyred in doubles final earlier.

[@mrsith1402]

Its like a local league player beating an international.

[@mrsith1402]

@@CMCMTTTV He only won because of his illegal serve.

[@joufaxerxes7966]

​@@mrsith1402He beat Lin yun-ju in Bundesliga. Mengel is class.

[@freehoa9315]

Not very good serves, his hand was following the ball and never get 6 inches distance.

[@PanchoGDMKWii]

I think Steffen's serves are illegal, even the referee called it once

[@MichelIchiy]

Most of them are. I wonder why barely no umpires call it out. Actually I think that they are TEXTBOOK EXAMPLES of how not to serve. It hits most boxes all the time. Not vertical, not high enough, hides the ball etc. But what gets me the most is the fact that throwing the ball vertically is SO EASY.

[@mrsith1402]

Yes, contact is hidden by his shirt.

[@PanchoGDMKWii]

@@mrsith1402 also the toss is suspicious, I doubt the ball is flying 16cm due to his motion with the racket

[@vjaceslavsgedroics5606]

Empire said right. Steffan has Illegal serves… Don’t have 90 degrees

[@user-en8wi4tq6x]

몸 앞까지 당기는 이게 프로의 서브인지 의문이 드네요.
