Qatar Open: Hao Shuai-Timo Boll

[BennDuong]

Boll always tries to congratulate people at the end but they always ignore him, table tennis players are so rude these days.

[LVF88]

Poor Hao Shuai... He probably thougt the game was his when the score was 3:1.. but Timo didn't agree..

[lastxp]

boll found hao's weak spot

[Joosehyukful]

idk about shuai's serve being legal.....

[mcortezzzzzzz]

@Joosehyukful well it is

[sinitskyd]

amazing match; amazing players

[Shadow301177]

tolles comback von timo

[casualcuber]

it's like hao shuai just stick is arm out and snapps his forearm at his elbow for his forehand loop

[TheKarub1]

i love hao`s forehand stroke its so powerfull O.o

[MrDragonballs45]

I love how the Chinese coach is smiling when he "shakes" Boll's hand.

[yobmas722]

hao has a counterdriving style..

[mandlerp]

1:22 amazing return



[MrMonobody]

@mandlerp indeed, also impressed by this

[sak0815]

Where is that tyoungos-douche when a chinese player loses, huh?

[baumblatt136]

i hate chinese people in tt. bad losers...

[TheMrJRX]

Chinese powah

[oOAffenjungeOo]

I just stopped at 2:59 :>

Because i want to know what he plays :D

[enndorphin]

Capazzzz!!!!!!!!!

[whatubeaccount1]

hao shuai has a large head, very large. terrific player; large head.

[KripkeSaul]

@whatubeaccount1 Best comment ever!

[62Denno]

boll was never someone who was able of winning 4-0 or 4-1 constantly but he is winning in the end and thats everything that matters :)

[YangSukOh]

you're amazing, I can actually see the ball in all your videos.

[ttclaws55]

i like hao's serves

[DKPOWA]

Its a damn shame, Hao Shuai was just showing how pathetic is TB compared to what he is used to (talking about his chinese monster peers :P). But he lost the edge when TB started attacking first...

[nybombs]

The chinese guy will be executed by the government for losing the game

[mrboogiemanjp]

Wow....That's what I call Table Tennis!! 

Just freaking amazing...

Solute to Timo!!

Hao is not too bad also...still young, but will be strong in the future.

[jayjaymatt]

@mrboogiemanjp hao shuai has peaked, he wont get near the top 5 again, the youing guns xu xin zhang jike and ma long are owning table tennis for years to come on top yan an fang bo and that 15 year old kid whos name ive forgotten, ii wouldnt be surpirsed in 5 or 6 years if the whole toip 10 is made up of chinese players.

[CTTlleida1]

@jayjaymatt zhang peifeng?

[jayjaymatt]

@CTTlleida1 thats not the one im thinking of, something like lia guoyan or something like that i think

[kmml1972]

hao shuai is an inhouse player not an international player i believe...

[taironnuxtuzu1]

ボル逆転～～～

[ppball]

If Boll continues this performance throughout the year, he is very likely to repeat his 2005 legend again

[padiltimo]

why shoul hao shuai imitates korbel way of play,he is already at a very top level game...

[100383208]

hao needs to lose weight! he needs to take a half step off the table and take the ball just a little bit later so he would have a similar game to petr korbel. either that or learn to counter and play flatter like kenta matshidiara

[casamcrem2]

great, thanks for uploading.

sorry, i have a question about something else:

i'm 1,90 mts tall, is it good or bad to play table tennis?

[linken84]

Tall players have long arm reach and may save corner balls with less footwork.

But, did you see how low Boll bent his knees? Who said Ping Pong is easy on the legs?

[casamcrem2]

@linken84 yes i did, he bent his knees too much, i have to get use to it.

thanks :)

[bartek4443]

@casamcrem2

I am 6'2, which is very close, or maybe it is 190 cm, and I play a lot, but I have to train my legs a lot to stay low (I am pressing 990 lbs. on the 45 degree leg press now). You can also try playing like Oh Sang Eun or Samsonov because they are the only tall players that don't actually stay very low (unlike Wang Liqin).

[Matrix15081995777]

1:23 Wow Good Match 5/5

[Bossiiiii]

look how happy he was... victory over a chinese player is hard to come by

[SWENWAR]

great performance from both I like Hao Shuai's offensive style

[hazemmadarati]

at 3:13 and 3:14, look at hao, he flips his racket to the red side!!!!

sick!!

[tedbratton]

nice flip at 8:55 lol!

[bla200389]

8:08 nice hook..

[KStala]

3:13 / 3:14

man that was good

[chipiturqui]

7:38 great backhand from timo boll, he made shit hao´s serve

[bboki1990]

Timo Bool is the best !!!!

[Opalance]

If he were the best he would win something, like...any major tournament.

[jayjaymatt]

well he won this tournament, hes won world cups, what else do you want him to win?

[Opalance]

He's won one tournament where the Chinese were there in 4 years...the Qatar Open 2009, which was a full year ago. The last time he beat a decent Chinese player in a tournament and ended up winning it was the China open in 2006.

[PokerAss123]

hao shuai is so ein spasst echt

[707979968]

was bist du ?

[daphne1960aoe]

boll is the best^^ ;)

but this video nearly never shows his points only the points of this hao

but good quality

[ersguterjunge467]

no it shows points of timo too look harder man^^

[timduncanmvp21]

aweosome quality

[steliosdida]

timo is big player

[CD7NEMO]

how old is Hao Shuai ?

[driftkillaz]

soon you'll get old no more timo or whoever great players so train ur kids how not to be old eheheheh suckers...

[tabletennisperson]

is it only for left handers the style that hao shuai uses?

bh block nd fh counter topspin?

cos of the angles against against a  right handr?

[BLUeCLimbers]

yes u fucking moron

[tabletennisperson]

ok ok calm down

[ThatGuyAgen]

dunno, a right hander could use it against a left hander like timo boll, so its not just for lefties, however lefties would get to use it more often than righties

[ersguterjunge467]

you have no idea of table tennis or?

[tabletennisperson]

i have some idea of table tennis

its jus i the style that hao uses is like exclusive to left handers lol

[latinobandit10000000]

Timo wins again in the battle of the lefties =]

[casualcuber]

boll for the come back!

[Huubbeerrtt]

I think that Hao was better then ma lin in quatar and this semi final was a premature final ; )

[stevema2]

2:30 -- nasty...Timo played well in this game :)

[ttfafownage]

timo bolls lobs are amazing

[kaikaz]

For me it looks like Hao plays weird. He has a strange technique, it all looks like a robot or something. Just my opinion

[abdiver12]

Boll was damn lucky to win this match. Its clear that Hao collapsed mentally and tightened up when he took a big lead. At their level, its all about the mind and emotions.

[hongkongchico168]

boll is just better, he just didn't get into his rhythm early on. Boll's high ranking and impressive record of titles justifies his win. Hao is damn lucky to give timo a close match

[LegIsLate]

There are very a few player can lead Timo 3-1. Hao Shuai is one of them. Technique wise, Hao isn't any worse than Timo, or maybe even Hao is slightly better. As for ranking, Hao is also in the top 10. They both are very great players, just Timo is German No. 1 and Hao is only China No. 6 (before or after Chen qi?). It's no surprise if any of them win the match. I don't deny that Timo Boll is in general a better player than Hao Shuai.

[Flensburgerpissener]

timo wasnt played his best....

[odysseas1980]

boll is ingredible.from 3-1 he was losing he made it 4-3

[jacobiversen1]

shit dey play fast!

[Opalance]

Maaaan, Hao Shuai had it, but I guess Boll just figured him out halfway through.

[deepbluemx07]

no mames timo es por mucho el mejor jugador zurdo ke hay, hao juega bien pero no es rival para boll.

[Noldo83]

thanks for the vidz Countenance keep them coming pls :)

[hubfred]

From the composition of this video one could infer that Timo lost the match. The nicer shots were made by Hao Shuai, that's for certain, I guess. Anyway, Timo won. I hope he can preserve his current shape until the end of the upcoming WCs. C ya!

[asdhorst]

Timo > all :P

[llaw333]

i do not argree with you.

[goudaschimmel]

timo has more talent as the top chinese players!thats a fact!

[Opalance]

If he did, he would be ranked #1, but he's not, and he probably never will be because there are too many, too good Chinese. Like Ma Long, young Chinese player, but has beaten Boll 5 out of 7 times already.

[goudaschimmel]

you must be joking...if timo would have so such training partners as the chinese have because the top players are nearly on the same level <nd they practise against each other timo would be the best!and you know what...timo was the number one of the world in 2003 i think...

[Opalance]

For less than a year he was, and the Chinese national team doesn't practice against each other, as they are their own best competition, they use other training methods. Have people who exist just to practice against.

[goudaschimmel]

ahh ok...wang hao never practise with hao shuai for example,watch some trainings vids on youtube...if you don't believe me i will send you the link...they practise against each other!not all the time but very often...

[fixedshot]

probably if hao shuai just became more consistent he would win, although it's still a close match. boll has been beating a lot of Chinese players recently. I like hao's placement and service=D

[KevinCarby666]

Glad to see Timo playing well, his backhand is alot more deadly. I wonder if the glue ban change has anything to do with the amount of scalps that Timo's is currently taking? then again he is in good form. Are there any more recent games with him playing Wang Hao? seen the one with him playing Ma Lin, which was a really good match, for a change Ma Lin coming from 3-1 down to make the last game very very nail biting!!

[ajsweets]

波爾好有態！

[ersguterjunge467]

Timos blocks are very good

[DuchDoby]

to jetleeming. What a bullshits. Poor boy. China always dominant tt? Demencia. Waldner and Swedish team was much better then China. Now is Chine dominant yes, but Timo or others European players can beat the best Chinese boys often. I thimh youn don t know much abou tt. You are totaly laik IMAO.

[bigwallace33]

Qatar Open has the highest price money in tabletennis. Hence its the most important Pro Tour and every player wants to win here...

[perniciousnc]

Dun think so...The China Open this yr (3/6-7/6) has the highest price

[MeckelBot]

well, hes been on his peak since the speed glue ban then...

[Todeskandidat]

Ich sag euch einziges, Timo hat schon vieles erreicht, viele Meisterschaften gewonnen, viele Sportler von Weltklasse auf die Seite geschafft. Und piepegal wie gut Hao spielt (man muss aber zugeben, der spielt echt gut) , solange er so etwas nicht erreicht und den ersten Platz von irgeneiner großen Meisterschaft nicht belegt, darf man ihn nicht auf gleiche Linie mit Timo stellen..

Viel Spaß, kein Hass)))) greetz

[jetleeming]

hey duchdoby !! who`s gonna beat china on rank # 1 , 2 ,3 ? don`t you think in your head, that china is the best TT in the world? china always dominant TT in the world for forever. whos gonna beat china, you tell me, just think in your head duch, not in your knee.

[NexxtGen]

china always dominant TT in the world for forever? how about sweden?

[MeckelBot]

hungary and japan before even, lol. and the future is german or japanese

[luzok]

in your dreams.

[MeckelBot]

boll, ovtcharov in the future, and when OH´s full reovered from his shoulder injury, hell also start beating some chinese ass. my bets

[luzok]

maybe you can be brave enough to bet your ass on it so that we all can see the day you lose your ass.

[MeckelBot]

uhh, someones a little bit on the defensive side hein? it was just an opinion, get a girl to let the stress go

[stevenjiii]

lol ovtcharov will get destroyed by ma long

OH's old

boll has a chance perhaps, but hes not getting any younger. ma long is gonna take over

[MeckelBot]

since when dows ma long represent the entire chinese national team?

and since age is so important to you, what about Baum? hes in puberty, and already like, 60 world ranking. when he hits 20, he will beat ma long

[5nature]

sweden dominate TT for 10 years, I think that China will really get serious about dominating TT for a long time

[neodarkuss]

i think timo boll just did you idiot, in this time he has prove that he can beat anyone, including ma lin!! of course china is one of the best tt country... but it wouldnt be forever! such as timo boll and other players will be the next champs

[jetleeming]

Hao shuai will make his world # 1 on 2012 . you`ll got to trust me. he is the only player that climdb a rank so fast for last 4 years

[chimstership]

i think Ma Long will is better and will stay no 1 before and after 2012

[RupertGriffin1]

felt like after timo stopping pivoting too much he started winning

[ffxme]

Timo seemed to have slow reflexes at the begining

[DuchDoby]

Liu smiling because he beated Timo very easy.Hao has good service without rotation and Boll whorse return. Close match, glad to timo wins. Robotics tt from China is Boooring

[luzok]

No matter how you define Chinese tt, be it robotics or anything, it is proven to be the BEST.

[MeckelBot]

it was the best, but times change. this tournament is an example, timo boll won by beating 2 or 3 chinese players.

[luzok]

only if timo boll and other european players can keep beating Chiense players in important championships for several years can we say "it was the best but times change."

The Chinese table tennis legion may sometimes face some little difficulties, but its dominance will never end.

[MDSguy]

i actually feel for the coach, his top players r losing lol

[r0b94]

Some great rallys,but u have to look,boll doesnt make the nicest points,but the points whuch arent showed because they are boring,those win boll!!!

[reverters]

Thanks for sharing, really great job!

[zkunibo]

Good job Timo great game

[Cribleet]

great game, both of them in great form

[Goddeity]

what the hell happend to liu guo liang? look at his face.

[dalamchops]

lol liu guoliang has to sit through so many Chinese defeats lol

[dalamchops]

thanks!
