the chinese coach is prolly like "i can't wait till timo boll retires, then i can just sit back and relax in the semifinals part of the tournament, its gnna b china vs china"
I have to say I absolutely love Timo Boll's playing style. He just makes it look so easy and he is great to watch. Samsonov is another player that is great to watch. To be honest though Zhang Jike is a great player already and is going to one of the contenders for the world number 1 spot over the next two or three years. He has immense power, great footwork and is great to watch. He is a huge prospect for the future.
Zhang's top spin were sharp, sometimes hit the edge of the racket of Timo. Boll slowly got the rythm of the game countering the top spins and is more accurate in the crucial points.
Timo is the man.... but most of you guys underestimate zhang. I'm pretty sure all of you thought this was going to be 4-0. Zhang's got the stuff, but he's in the process. Plus it was the semis, so don't take anything away from him
ZJK showed no BH = poor blocking skills + no topspin. Half baked tactics and no real aggressiveness, all in all like most of European players, such a shame for a chinese...
@clmdss eh, the match would definitely have been closer than the 4-0 wooping Boll got, but Xu beat Zhang in their last meeting. But yes, Xu has more trouble with Zhang's playstyle than with a lot of the other players
incredible how timo even at this age is able to adapt his game and take it to a higher level... he seems to be following the trend of the new chinese generation and hitting the ball earlier, further in front of the body.
everyone shud love n respect timo for his sportmanship n him as a person
but even if we love him (n i believe he would agree himself) he is not the best yet.
xuxin has beat him thoroughly this open, n i believe malin's, and especially wanghao's style are ones timo couldn't handle at the moment, of coz we wanna see timo rise up n beat some more chinese, but timo the best is juz not yet the fact
@perniciousnc timo is way better than ma lin, xu xin he still hasn't played many times and has so much power it's unreal. but timo is better than ma lin, zhang jike still doesn't have a big weapon for me against people like timo. the thing with timo is he is very good at nullifying peoples power without being a massive hitter himself, I think currently he is the best in the world, but I think that's cos ma long has been injured recently? but yeah worthy number one in my opinion
not "way better" than Ma lin. Ma lin knocked out Boll in Moscow, remember?
The reason why Boll is not considered as the best player in the world is because he has only won 2 worldcups in the last ten years of his career. Unlike Ma lin and Wang liqin who have been diminating on the world titles, Boll is not a legenday player yet.
@jayjaymatt ma lin is the legend, the olympic champion, best serve, best serve return, best ball control, best tactic, where does the "way better" come from? even not as good IMHO.
timo is very stable, he has very few unforced errors. But just don't want to be a spoiler. It doesnt mean he won this match, you will see what i mean.
@TorstenMaschine I like Timo Boll, but Xu Xin beat him 4:0 and their H2H is 4:0 fo XX.He is best European and one of the best in the world, but not the best, only highest ranking for the moment.
Zhang Jike Is The Best!
Jheison99 1 week ago
Timo Boll: has the cutest the most humble personality+ Good player.
Zhang Jike: Good Player+ Hesistant sometimes (Esp when he plays with Ma Long).
Ma Long: Robot+ Good player bt without style or a special flavour (Knows victims weakpoint and attacks it like a bitch).
Xu Xin: Very good player+ Special technique and style.
Dima: Sex machine that does soft porn grunts with his racket/rubbers in public.
