Singapore Smash is one of the best events for TT ! Thanks so much for these . Timo still being the Legend that he is .

[@m-pingpong]

yessssssssssssss

[@Rt_Raccoon]

I really do appreciate Adam's commentary in all these matches he works. I'm relatively new to the TT world and having him just randomly explain something I've been wondering helps me better understand what's going on or why someone is angry or an obscure rule or whatever. Love ya, Adam!

[@joshsilvajr1227]

It's a pleasure and an honor to watch Timo playing. Such a legend!

[@Daniel-w9h4y]

Congratulations, Timo! Keep up thr good work to the end.

[@m-pingpong]

yessssssssssss

[@ericayers5690]

I truly wish the camera would at least occasionally not switch views right at the serve contact. It makes it impossible to analyze serves.

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

I think the reason the camera view is the current way, and the switcheroo, is so we can't review the serves frame-by-frame. I did it plenty, and can't now, but would basically call out all the service cheating. I think the umpires and officials didn't like it much.

[@felixheyde585]

Timoooo, wir lieben dich😍 Der beste und fairste und netteste deutsche Sportler aller Zeiten

[@cbaabc-m3p]

大叔不减当年勇，能打败强强小将令人敬佩

Valuable lessons from Timo Boll

[@ЮрийМаслов-э8ш]

Sehr gut, Timo!!

[@rlotustab9099]

Old match… while watching it reminding me I know the story!!

[@georgelin6861]

Great Timo Boll again！

[@mrcadoia]

Im new to TT and I feel I have missed out on the good Timo Boll days.

[@acespaces4381]

Timo is undoubtedly one of the best ever. Amazingly intelligent ball play & unimitable style.

[@213redwolf]

Тимо красавчик, так сильно играть с китайцами из первой десятки, это круто

[@razvanababei]

Germany still cannot replace Timo Boll with any other player. Well done Timo!

[@佐藤亜矢-f8s]

今までありがとう！

[@Спортмузыкаиавто]

Тимо Болл ты легенда и гроза китайских ракеток мира 😁✊👍🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

[@j.a.9855]

Fantastisch von Timo

[@leopoldslejska_tt]

why the old match though?

[@thienkhanh1973]

congratulation Timo Boll

[@quasarleon4645]

14:06 That rally though ... 😮😮😮

[@aerotus888]

When was this match?

[@NeutrinoIsHere]

last years singapore smash (2024)

[@Nirmanakaya_of_own_mind]

very interesting how Lin can't to recognise volume of the spin, fantastic

[@orionmec]

Adam is great... however, when he commented on Shidong's shovel serve he said, " they leave very little clue as to what spin....." Very little clue, it is a hidden serve which is illegal by the rules. Why make a rule to make the game better and then NOT uphold it! Any hiding of the ball in any way is illegal. So is the way many throw it "up." this needs to end as well.

[@holulu777]

What happened at 23:05 ?

[@rockys7726]

Wasn't Timo supposed to be retired?

[@ericjia8355]

14:05 point of the game, man Lin is good

[@ericjia8355]

Gotta love Adam as commentator too. So passionate and fun, dropping anecdotes left and right.

[@jx8336]

去年？

[@johnatanjohnson8788]

yes, 2024

[@danpro.u]

No, 1968..

[@abassomantri5839]

Timo B. Masih OK dg usia seperti ini

[@manvindarsingh]

What a terrible camera angle, screw ITTF

[@bjrneikrem2720]

Embarrassing for the Chinese that they feel it is ok to win by cheating. This should be adressed both at ITTF and at the Chinese Team. I love Chinese players but this really makes me furious. You all should now better than disgrace this beautiful sports by cheating!

[@jeffery-r1l]

Timo boll's service is too short in uplifting ball. Any Problem?

[@DawidLisowski-u5z]

Timo Boll to chyba najlepszy zawodnik świata, przez ponad 20 lat był w czołówce rankingu świata, nikt inny tego nie dokonał

[@janosch7210]

I hate how LSD always depends on these illegal serves when shit gets tight. Against Lebrun he also needed the illegal serves to win in the 5th. Should be called by the umpire

[@Kxssh]

The ball must be seen from throw until contact in a serve however this rule can be bent slightly as only one parallel angle needs to see the ball fully. E.g. Timo left handed he sits on the right side of the table, LSD can serve where he can’t see the ball at all but if he was standing on the left side like most RH players he’d see the ball just fine. It’s js a grey area and the table tennis federation allows it. They would’ve made it explicitly clear if it wasn’t like that.

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

​@KxsshThe opponent is still required to make the view of the ball visible at all times to the player, and the umpires too, for the rules to be applied fairly.

[@pappaflammyboi5799]

​@Kxssh...and that's regardless of where the receiver stands...

[@endezoor]

Sad to see so many pro players use illegal serves frequently, and also having almost zero warnings, penalties from umpires. It's making me furious sometimes, TBH... ruins the whole idea of a "fairplay". Great match, BTW; Timo's still got it!!! One of the all-time-legends; up there with Waldner, Klampár and the others!

[@aNu-9017]

3:56 PLUS he is a lefty which changes the story completely

[@Proeda11]

2024 and Timo is still destroying Chinese talent.. A true gem to the sport. Lin SD has potential for Rank 1 in future.

[@kkartha]

Not 2024 . Could be an older match...

[@rakhmatfu179]

xiao xiao pang 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@user-fy2rf7bl1v]

Timo Ball behaves always as a gentleman, unlikely Ling Shidong cheats in this game.

[@peterbotero944]

The announcer talks way too much. Dang!

[@МихаилКалинин-ч3б]

А для чего ребята кладут ладонь на стол у сетки и издают какие то не здравые, не приятные звуки, возгласы ртом?

[@god9231]

Тимо Болл как старое вино, всё крепче и вкуснее 😂

[@dzas1987]

It is not fake, it is dangerous and harmful. I know people who tried yoga as an innocent pastime and ended up developing serous issues, both physical and mental, which took them years to overcome. And no, my lady, you don't look ten years younger. You look your age, nothing special about this look. I am ten years olede than you and I look younger than you. An not only me, but many others. Living a reasonable, healthy livestyle that has always worked and still does.

[@acespaces4381]

Who’s the commentator? Bobrow…?

[@wilbertvanvulpen9553]

[@throwback7832]

new generation chinese table tennis players are weak

[@Resetovskyy7]

it was a year ago now lin shidong is the best in the world

[@throwback7832]

@Resetovskyy7 nobody can top malong, zhang jike, xu xin, & fan zhendong line up in their prime

[@itspaddyd]

@@throwback7832 I think that is the exception, they are a golden generation and the new guys might not be as good, but that doesn't make them weak. They still take care of non Chinese opposition regularly

Timo can get lucky sometimes 😅
