[@peterstill3760]

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

[@olaniyi570]

That missed serve by Samsonov was crucial!

[@SteveFirefly777]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@CinnamarollCreater]

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

[@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

[@Centrinario]

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

[@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.

[@maz0602]

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

[@ttamazing9280]

Great match! Best match of WTTC 2013

[@Mikhail_Stasov]

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

[@frankielong3288]

Haha yeah

[@Batya_Bunda]

Возможно лучший матч в истории настольного тенниса! Браво!

[@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

[@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

[@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..

[@sammyeldado1421]

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

[@Geno_Whirl]

8:39 Like Waldner!

[@ingullar]

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

[@mimiegoreng]

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.

[@sarfarazpanjwani3459]

I liked the way Samsonov played against Kenta

[@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!!"

[@LimoneneDaddy]

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

[@paulgillard2215]

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

[@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

[@Joe_exe_07]

Kenta's backhand is something else😍😍🔥

[@andreygameplays1234]

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

[@Singhpinoy]

Kenta is on fire. Best Kenta of all time)

[@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

[@harshsingh2837]

kenta blocks are so good. its just like waldner

[@ДанилБарышев-г4е]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@sunthanaardan9619]

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

[@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

[@ashupashu5559]

Kenta Blocksudaira

[@torneycarblos9140]

Matsudaira's topspins were fire :D

[@MasterYourself.]

First chop i have seen from kenta 3:10

[@fruitydan888]

Ikr

[@superchaserbr]

What an incredible match! Wow!

[@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

[@cesar.sandovalcolon]

best game i've ever seen!!

[@giorgione96]

Got to love Kenta !

[@Dyleet]

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

[@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]

Great Match. Truly enjoyable sports

[@deryistanto6417]

[@pdubb32]

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

[@WellMefisto]

That's true ahahahah!!

[@bertjohn760]

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

[@higgsboson3283]

Володя хорошо тут сыграл не повезло

[@zjktheman]

My fav Kenta and Sam

[@yaweli2968]

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

[@Twiddle_TV]

@4:08 Oh hi Ma Long! :D

[@dwarfrom]

Oh, so unique comment. I'm shocked.

[@BsHoangHiep]

Kenta Backhand Real Strong!

[@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

[@mudassirhasan9022]

electrifying match !

[@eczavyr2899]

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

[@ねまゆめ]

2セット目ハラハラした～～笑

[@Minjona-z6e]

Кента молодец

[@MrVoland999]

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

[@jtuerah]

Very nice match 👍

[@СегрейКряж]

Круто.

[@tabletennis-tv]

great !!!

[@bitcoinrevolution5407]

wow..that was intense..service error cost this match

[@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

[@djmaleda]

Wow. Great match.

[@rmn12175]

Great match. Kenta is so fckin fast!!

[@mm5534uk]

8:40 So very beautiful counter...

[@ХалильМифтахов]

[@indra7007]

Amazing....

[@dominicussudjatmiko1102]

Sangat menarik.

[@Soei23]

Excellent video, no stupid music and not even commentary!!! Nice upload dude. Too bad you don't have a HiDef version but it's great none the less.

[@y_therianthropy]

若さってすごいね～～

[@erelaction]

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

[@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

[@lucoyoung3285]

Great match

[@ms.p99]

I heard Ma Long screams

[@andyzhaott]

2 people who actually serve legally...

[@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.

[@aminofficial4187]

Mantap

[@torneycarblos9140]

Kenta is handsome as f###

[@ВячеславУ-у4м]

10:15 wining backhand!!

[@РоманЕвсеев-е7р]

epic...

[@uleyzano6178]

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

[@maxyun13]

Great great game

[@sanashy9024]

This is probably the best WTTC for me! The ones that followed were meh..

[@raykadantou7111]

9:28 ここサムソノフかわいい

[@rrre-01]

ちゃんと日本人いた

[@filotaxia]

impresionante juego

[@FBR2169]

Ughh 3:10 looks so beautifullll😍😍

[@РоманГолубков-б5э]

Жаль...

[@tood1702]

マツダリアって言われてるw

[@djmaleda]

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

[@bytheswor150]

the ball hit his arm

[@AndyJ658]

Kenta's receive is too pasive. Backhand was nice.

[@mojtabaghafoory8474]

It seems Kenta's backhand near the table has no power.
