two gentlemen and extreme sportsmanships

[@jaffajoffer6300]

Yeah love them!

[@alankingchiu]

Time limit is stupid.

[@zazenforever4940]

Two of the classiest gentlemen to play the sport, or in any sport. No ridiculous screaming, cho on every point or fist pumping. Just class and world class play.

[@shenlincurve582]

Thanks TTlondon2012 for that quality !

[@дмитрийчижов-ж7в]

В этой игре увидел безупречную игру Володи Самсонова!!!

[@decadence8473]

For those of you wondering about the rules, here's an excerpt from their website: - The players must win as many matches as they can within a 24-minute time limit. - There is no deuce. The first player to reach 11 wins (you win at 11 - 10). - If a game has started within the last 2 minutes of the match the first player to reach 5 points wins (called a Kill zone game) - If a game has started before the last 2 minutes and is still in progress when the timer stops, the player with the most points wins. - Each game won is added to the team’s total - Only one time out per match is allowed - Every two games the players have a one minute break and switch sides

4:18 they get nationalities wrong. Nevertheless awsome match.

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

Rischelius good catch!

[@effeniet]

They got a lot of things wrong with this yes. Including the camera angles.

[@Starkon007]

Красивая игра

[@sagarghatge007]

He gave 2nd set to samsonov. Timo is good form. 😍

[@onurbatuhanozcelik3112]

Sagar Ghatge What makes you say that? How is it like gift I didn’t understand?

[@chrisk8z]

@@onurbatuhanozcelik3112 he was not attacking just plain blocking

[@adrians3267]

@@chrisk8z he would never concede a game on purpose that would end up giving the opposing team one more game in total

[@diegogamboaramirez6735]

@@adrians3267 timo is not the type who concedes a game on purpose. He is quite competitive.

Хто победил? Непонел

[@amber11]

why shots seem so fast compared ittf videos

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

Amber Kulkarni It's not, Timo stroke is now shorter and Samsonov is a active blocker so some points just seem faster.

[@FBR2169]

@@reinaldopessoa2603 diffetent angle. I feel like ITTF recent video shots are way too far from the table. No sense of speed

[@bachnguyencao8801]

because of the camera angle. this match's cam view is more from the top-down than normal so that the ball moves widely on screen, otherwise in lower view you would see it swing less.

[@MaxPower2307]

So much effort for this tournament and than this medicore camera angel... make the small things perfect before you want to change bigger things. You see you should hire me as your creative director.

[@mega2codnoob]

Max Power this camera angle is good imo

[@ВладНовак-о7ь]

mega2codnoob, this camera angle is very good, I agree

[@MaxPower2307]

It's ok but could be better for such an "innovative" tournament. The camera is too high!

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

The camera is not too high, any closer you start to miss actions from points.

[@txpablitooo1280]

Quien ha ganado, Boll no? No tengo expericia en la t2

[@Frodrigues922]

i dont understand!! two sets in the Same side?

[@acecarolino101]

I get a feeling that Timo is playing with Samsonov

[@martonratko1701]

No shit

[@devertz995]

Was that second set gift to samsonov a bad manners by Boll? I don't like when my opponent gives me free points or sets. I'd prefer to lose 11-0

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

devertz995 Doesn’t make it bad manners. Boll just a nice guy

[@devertz995]

Reinaldo Pessoa Ikr, Timo Boll is always a good sportman but in this case particularly i didn't like the second set gift, It's unnecessary imo

[@devertz995]

I'd really prefer to lose 11-0 every set but knowing my opponent always played for the win

[@reinaldopessoa2603]

not everyone feels that way, and also less fun for the weaker players if all they are doing is retrieving the ball as the better player hits it pass him.

[@hilbertpjanic7986]

Stupid rules How about let the players hula hooping while they are playing table tennis? Huh???

[@valeriynaoumenko9101]

Time limit....what for and why!?

[@lorenzobarni1000]

Who have won?

[@jonnybaumhaus3903]

lorenzo barni boll

[@TravisBaginashvili]

Nope, it was a tie, at 2-2, since Samsonov lead the final game

[@A5Sportbackquattro]

1:10 seven eleven

[@mete733]

ten eleven

[@effeniet]

Camera angle is totally worthless and annoying. Not bothering to watch further. Pls never do this again and fire whoever decided this. He or she apparently is no player.

[@adrians3267]

It is a much better angle than ittf's

[@fatnlazychinc]

I remember Liu guoliang lost to this samsonov many years ago in world championahips.. This guy looks so old and slow now.

[@acetennis8401]

Мне кажется или Тимо начал играть по старому стилю ?

[@no_pasaran213]

тремя перстами? или как?

[@acetennis8401]

Ну играет очень свободно как раньше до 2008

[@acetennis8401]

без головы )

результат не довлеет, вот и игра идёт.
