WTTC 2003 Highlights: Werner Schlager vs Joo Se Hyuk (Final)

[@girish325]

Today was 2023 world championship finals and it is pale in comparison to 2003 finals. What a playersm What a crowd, What an ambiance and what a match and that camera angle too - spectacular!

[@XIplupIX]

The level didtn go down for sure but rather up, the techniques are getting more and more optimized.

[@religdeb]

I was thinking this too. More Diversity of nationalities at the very top of the game, different styles of play making the matches more interesting (a chopper in the world championship final?). The level of play may be better now but that doesn't make it more entertaining at all.

[@listrahtes]

@@XIplupIX Optimized but sadly also simpllified by changes in ball size , ball material, Its a much less diverse sport now by design. No defense specialists anymore, next to no penholder as they took out their biggest weapons. There are very few players left who have a great touch. Most are just hammering the ball like in female tennis. They did that to make success more able to plan for especially because of chinas big influence but it damaged the sport a lot. When the last players of previous era like Boll (who ha this magical touch) have left the tour it will be much more boring in general

[@XIplupIX]

there are ltos of defense specialist, just not in top 100. I think you should go to acutal tournaments buddy and look at how they play htere. and not just judge by a few pros even in top 100 you got people like anders lind and etc who still play spin to a high degree.@@listrahtes

[@netirtifar6875]

Did he just play backhand against a chopper? What a legend!

[@qazwsxa1029]

Schlager had a very difficult path to the finals too! On his way to there he beat Wang Liqin, the defending world champ and Kong Linghui, the reigning Olympic champ, both in some nail-bitingly close matches.

[@gilekopi7296]

Right! The way he beat wang liqin was crazy

[@IgneelS11]

Joo beat Ma Lin this tournament :)

[@ericl9781]

lol wang lickin

[@alexgartner4395]

Deserved win, what a legend he is, still the last non-chinese champion since then

[@giorgione96]

We better get used to it.

[@thenewguy7527]

@maipiu cosilontano Boll was never a champion

[@thenewguy7527]

@maipiu cosilontano champion means winning the wttc, in which he never broke past the semis. He did win some WCs and WTGFs which is neat.

[@Max-yp1iw]

TheNewGuy stfu

[@jasper8368]

In the teams singapore women's beat China in 2010 and that was the last team to be champion of wttc

[@LRShooooya0607]

And he is currently the last non-Chinese champion.

[@IgneelS11]

Still true :(

[@musicforlifeofficial709]

unforgettable for his journey to the victory. The last one for non Chinese player who won WTTC.

[@jasper8368]

Even the silver medalist isn't a Chinese player. Joo se hyuk beat ma lin in the quarter finals then beat kreanga in the semi finals. Werner schlager beat wang liquin in quarter finals then kong linghui in the semi finals

[@swagmoney1652]

@@jasper8368 Joo is still a legend even tho he won silver

[@muhammadrezaabrori9291]

Best match ever seen when table tennis was an art.

[@GammaRayBurst417]

inspirational play by Schlager, gracious winner to boot

[@nikolayyaninski9827]

Amazing table tennis.

Nice memories. Greetings from Marcus Schlager from Austria 😁😉

[@derkananldernichtshochladt7094]

The quality of the video may be low but the camera angle is a hundred times better than today.

[@druidzown]

coming back to visit this godly performance. Schlager played out of his mind this tournament!!! wow!!!

[@wilsson7149]

last european hero

[@赖凯婧]

and he beat the Asia，even if just korea LOL

[@atekvideos1613]

isnt a timo boll hero also

[@victorpierrey4028]

ATEK VIDEOS yep aboslutely

[@dickn.ormous1064]

@@atekvideos1613It's crazy how much hype Timo Boll gets.He has never reached a final in a major tournament.A bronze in 2011 is his best accomplishment.

[@Max-yp1iw]

Dick N. Ormous he beat many chinese players lol who else can do that

[@armandbenaroche8171]

Schlager and Waldner my two Favourites players..

[@hawnt2r]

Probably smartest TT players ever

[@Kabanero1966]

Joo Se Hyuk Вооще Красавчик!!! Чуть везения не хватило(((

[@lockwyn]

Schlager was on fire in this wttc! Deserved win!

[@Dmitry_Kemenev]

When I was a kid, I saw this video on DVD, it was my favourite tutorial how to play high-level table tennis🏓🏆

[@erikhiguchi]

Jogaaaço !!!!!!!!!!! melhor final de campeonato !!!

[@wmascare]

For me, that was the greatest World Championships final match. Unlikely, we'll see a low rank player reaches another World Championships final match.

[@ppalavichkoo]

+Wesley Mascarenhas who is a low rank again?

[@dapl567]

+Иво Георгиев 2003 Joo Sea Hyuk was low ranked. Only number 60 in the world.

[@unknownfacts5965]

+Da Pl what about fang bo at the wttc 2015

[@wmascare]

He was ranked 14th at the time he reached the final match. Joo Sea Hyuk was 61st.

[@12Trappor]

Truls Möregårdh says hello 😄

[@PanchoGDMKWii]

Schlager was very prepared for this match, as he had Chen Weixing to train with, and Joo played outstanding too, but he got in huge disadvantage because he missed like 70% of the shots that could make Schlager defend the ball instead of attacking it. He really lost like 9 points because of that, maybe because of the pressure and the nerves due to being in the final, as with Ma Lin, he barely missed those shots

[@Showdownxlm]

10:55, what a point

[@gilleslouin1275]

Quelle ambiance !

[@flavioferraz6837]

Amazing! For me, It was the best final Champion until today!

[@danielh6559]

I wonder if we'll ever see something like this again..

[@martinnemenzo1827]

Strongest backhand I have ever seen

Classic.

[@raytmilan]

Super!

[@dmitriylysov4682]

Да Вернер на том чемпионате мира дал жару))) таких игроков обыграл!!!

[@zabosilent2833]

His victory is a legend that will never fade. In the 20 years since his victory, there has not been a non-Chinese winner.

[@rrrrrrr458]

Still true , he is the last European hero

[@giorgione96]

Nevertheless all praise to him. He kept his cool and with his IQ he prevailed.

[@ДенисЛ-б8ю]

Такого накала я пожалуй ещё не видел!!!👍💪💪💪💪

シュラガーのバックハンドのスピードと安定感が凄すぎる

[@IgneelS11]

しかし、シュラーガーも非常に巧妙にプレーしました

[@jirawootvongpee4002]

So excited

[@girish325]

What a crowd. Nowadays table tennis is being played to empty galleries. Sadly

[@pukulu]

Joo played great and Schlager played a bit better. This was a heck of a match.

[@csabakelemen1039]

Karssay Ferencnek a Schlager trénerre is lehet sokat köszöni hogy Schlager Werner világ arany érmes lett Párizsban 2003 🇦🇹🏓🇭🇺🥇🏆!

[@jojojo2705]

I like the way sclager top spin

[@donpatrese]

schlager is the man!! on his way to the final he beat Wang Liqin (the defending world champion) & Kong Linghui (the reigning Olympic champ) the real last european warrior!! maybe the last european table tennis warrior ever!! ...but...theres a new star born here in austria , called Julian Rzihauschek!! 12 years young talented player!!

[@ЮрийГагарин-ъ9з]

Шлагер ) единственный чемпион мира европеец ) а Вальднер олимпийский единственный ) вот это легенды !! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@RalphHund]

Schlager ain't on Waldners level even though he played really good this tournament.

[@АлександрСедов-л5н]

Этот матч стал для игры защитного стиля и пиком и одновременно точкой невозврата, уже 21 год прошёл, а игрок защитного стиля так и не приблизился к этому достижению ( выхода в финал ЧМ с 61 рейтингом в мире на момент турнира).

[@RalphHund]

The last european hero.
