WTTC: Kenta Matsudaira-Vladimir Samsonov

[@peterstill3760]

Their table tennis is beautiful, I love these two champions. Kenta’s backhand is poetry.

[@olaniyi570]

That missed serve by Samsonov was crucial!

[@x.x.7646]

Great match! Good to see Samsonov still going strong after so many years. But this time Kenta deserves to win with his fantastic footwork and his great fighting spirit.

[@SteveFirefly777]

This has to be one of the most exciting games I’ve watched! Two great players. Kenta in his heyday

[@Mikhail_Stasov]

Summary of the match: -Yo! -Fo! ... 8:39 Waldner style block

[@frankielong3288]

Haha yeah

[@700SnowMan]

I love Samsonov's sytle it's just amazing and he still plays on this level even tho he is getting old.

[@thenewguy7527]

5 years later he's still strong.

[@taylorhamilton6272]

he's slow and using his reach most of the time is boring

[@erstonoutway7281]

1:19 this shot saved Matsudaira. Up until this point Samsonov played a very analytical calm game aiming for an easy 4:0 or 4:1 with winning the first set pretty decisive and being in a 9:5 lead in the second. But insteady of 10:5 it was an 9:6 with Matsudaira barely snatching away the second game, warming up his forehand backhand switch making this match a beautiful slugfest of 7 sets.

[@CinnamarollCreater]

Most intense match I have ever seen! Both players fighting till their last drop of blood.

[@ピヨすけ-f3e]

どちらも防御とカウンターのスペシャリスト！ リアタイで見てた時かなり熱かったです

[@Centrinario]

Love this guy's style. Reminds me a little bit of Waldner.

[@Geno_Whirl]

8:39 Like Waldner!

[@ВячеславУ-у4м]

Кента уникальный игрок, очень элегантный стиль игры...немного не хватает мощи но смотреть за игрой одно удовольствие

[@hermantomarpaung5116]

Lebih unik dan lebih jenius lagi permainan Koki niwa pemain sesama jepang

[@maz0602]

Самсон один из лидеров мирового тенниса, очень красивую игру показывает.👍✌️🤘💪

[@ttamazing9280]

Great match! Best match of WTTC 2013

[@JacK46]

incredible match!! super fast and full of crazy shots! kenta's backhand is like a punch, I love when he counter-attack far from table with his backhand to almost every shot of his opponent

[@Batya_Bunda]

Возможно лучший матч в истории настольного тенниса! Браво!

[@mimithecat23]

tomahawk serve's of Kenta is unique and great!!

[@mistercat6169]

luigi zurich quite easy to smash for pro players but yes i too think so

[@TheNo1Grapefruit]

Emils Rubins lol yes. See 2014 WTTTC Matsudaira Vs Franziska. Almost every tomahawk resulted in a point for Franziska on the serve return

[@dickn.ormous1064]

More like overcomplicated and useless.He should have focused on the development of his pendulum and reverse pendulum serve.

[@torneycarblos9140]

Lmao at least better than ur serve kid

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@torneycarblos9140 At least I don't have knee injuries lol.There has to be a reason almost no pro player uses the tomahawk serve.It's very hard on the knees and difficult to keep short and low.

[@francorastelli6308]

4:08 you can hear Ma Long xD

[@zencosuzuki8496]

4:10

[@Geno_Whirl]

Hilarious

[@Geno_Whirl]

7:14 too

[@rejolsalam6806]

I was thinking also :D :D

[@sammyeldado1421]

Wow! Pure battle, best video till date. Bloodshed from both sides, amazing

[@tomjerry84]

I love Kenta's style, without restriction, without any form, you can't guess what will happen next

[@ekremkarayilan]

Kenta umarım kendini Vladimir kadar uzun izletme şansın olur. Vladimir seni izlemek hala muhteşem, çok teşekkürler..

[@hyultracolor]

Kenta already proven to all players who has complete technic. From offensive to defensive all covered. He played very intelligent game. Completely different from all other players. He will go for every ball. Of course, age catching up will slowdown in the matter of time. Overall, you never get bored watching his matches esp. against Ma Lin s match.

[@WellMefisto]

kenta: "your!!"....Vlad: "four!!"

[@basudevparida9914]

6:38 pure .gold

[@MasterYourself.]

First chop i have seen from kenta 3:10

[@fruitydan888]

Ikr

[@maxfactor4209]

1:16 Epic

[@loopkill]

Beautiful match, good fight from both of them. And, as others have mentioned, that totally should have been Kenta's point at 1:16 (though the block from Samsonov was pretty sick)

[@bairgaryaev9837]

The ball touched Kenta's shirt

[@kavinxavier4552]

kenta can do some awesome backhand shots unlike mizutani who just lobs all day

[@xyzzzzz01]

+kavin xavier i guess you haven't seen mizutani for some time

[@ingullar]

I'm Samsonov's fan, but I really liked Kenta's playing this time.

[@sunthanaardan9619]

Good video, attractive, balanced and interesting gameplay from both players.

[@LaurenceNyein]

would name this match something like Clash of Blocks and Placements. i know these two are very different players but still very much comparable in many ways, in similar category like Waldner, Samsonov, Kenta and Koki Niwa to some extends.

[@andreygameplays1234]

Wow!!! I am Vladimir fan, but Matsudaira rocks in this game!

[@GammaRayBurst417]

Vlad doesnt usually cho until the other guy does, it's hilarious, then the other guy stops choing cuz clearly it just motivates your opponent to crush you

[@mindrover777]

What cho. He got his ass handed to him. Are u high

[@naya3260]

松平ってこんなにバックひけたのかぁ 前陣でパチパチしてるイメージだったわ 完成系はワルドナーみたいになればいいなぁ

[@user-jw2fp3bm9o]

na ya 知らない人まで増えてきたんだよなー

[@no1barefeeter195]

二人ともブロックがうまいし、下がってもガンガン打ってくるから見応えがあった

[@Twiddle_TV]

@4:08 Oh hi Ma Long! :D

[@dwarfrom]

Oh, so unique comment. I'm shocked.

[@paulgillard2215]

Both players on FIRE !!!!! WOW !!!!!

[@ashupashu5559]

Kenta Blocksudaira

[@harshsingh2837]

kenta blocks are so good. its just like waldner

[@LimoneneDaddy]

Kenta has a vicious style and a sick backhand almost like a tennis backhand..

[@pdubb32]

LMAO @ the 9:30 mark . Vladimir celebrated too soon.He thought he had won the point....Too funny.

[@WellMefisto]

That's true ahahahah!!

[@sarfarazpanjwani3459]

I liked the way Samsonov played against Kenta

[@Singhpinoy]

Kenta is on fire. Best Kenta of all time)

[@Dyleet]

I think that might be the best game of table tennis that I have ever seen :)

[@ДанилБарышев-г4е]

Как же мне нравится игра Самсонова. Очень жаль что ему всегда не везло

[@entanglement2023]

精神力の闘いだった。勝負は最後の数本で決まった。

[@南方綾鷹]

間違いなくサーブミスから

[@ねまゆめ]

2セット目ハラハラした～～笑

[@MrVoland999]

not to take away from Kenta, service error and some silly forehand misses in the 7th have cost Samsonov the game

[@torneycarblos9140]

Matsudaira's topspins were fire :D

[@Joe_exe_07]

Kenta's backhand is something else😍😍🔥

[@higgsboson3283]

Володя хорошо тут сыграл не повезло

[@bertjohn760]

Mr. Tomahawk the best! Хотя Самсонов показал достойную игру.

[@giorgione96]

Got to love Kenta !

[@ВячеславУ-у4м]

[@朗读者-m4z]

Wow, the clash of two great blockers

[@cesar.sandovalcolon]

[@yaweli2968]

Serve tomahawk into the body; your opponent pops up that topside tomahawk and then yoooo!

[@thedailyremedy968]

This was insane!

[@rmn12175]

[@deryistanto6417]

[@eczavyr2899]

Am I the only one or did it hit the edge there?

[@y_therianthropy]

若さってすごいね～～

[@ashthanvi4137]

@1.16; it was Kenta's point because the ball hit on the corner but i guess the ref didn't see it..

[@andreygameplays1234]

Muhammad Ali Thanvi The ball touches Kenta's t-shirt

[@ms.p99]

I heard Ma Long screams

[@JaxAkaJT]

great backhand from kenta! I seriously think he has the best backhand in the world now, besides kreanga

[@JackFinneyMusic00]

Matte net?

[@JaxAkaJT]

haha well both are good, but I'd say kenta has higher consistency. Look at the shots he made in this match. Crazy

[@raykadantou7111]

9:28 ここサムソノフかわいい

[@Minjona-z6e]

Кента молодец

[@СегрейКряж]

Круто.

[@djmaleda]

Wow. Great match.

[@jtuerah]

Very nice match 👍

[@cansetyildiz9077]

ı think the most running backwards and forwards ,to the right to the left of the table is K.atsudaira. he is like atom ant. 😀 and his serve iş uniq.

[@erelaction]

Скорость Матсударии просто невероятна! :) Но и Вова в то время еще мог передвигаться. :))

[@uleyzano6178]

Владимир, как всегда, проваливает концовки партий. Хотя сегодня играл просто отлично. У меня даже появилась надежда на победу. Но нет. Все как обычно.

[@djmaleda]

Why didnt 1.16 go to Kenta? He clearly clips the edge with his return.

[@bytheswor150]

the ball hit his arm

[@lucoyoung3285]

Great match
