Ryu Seung Min - Timo Boll

[MIZUTANI09]

Maybe Boll was scared at Big game(Olympics).

2004 in athenes He was defeated by 39 years old Waldner.

2008 in China, by Oh Sang Eun.

and 2012? He will be lost at 1st or 2nd round.

[beancube2008]

Boll can't handle flat shots coming into his body, he can only bump them back plainly, and Ryu used them to set his game up for powerful attack. Boll looks fast if he receive spin, not flat plain fast body pushes.

[sophurous]

ryu has no backhand 50% of his game gone right there well only a BH block so like 30% then

[jkillashark]

Timo's service receive was sooo shaky in this match. Ryu was really pumped up for this tournament. A pumped up Wang Liqin needed 7 games to finish Ryu in the semifinals.

[scheuchelhott]

Ryu ist ein verfickter Hurensohn.Bei jedem Punkt schreit der wie ein gestörter.

[Echschmet]

geht ja um was!!!!!!

[gravedigger02]

@scheuchelhott so hätte ich es zwar nicht ausgedrückt, aber ich finde auch, dass er nicht gerade eine auszeichnung für faires verhalten verdient hat, ganz im gegensatz zu timo boll, der ja diese auszeichnung sogar erhalten hat...

[ersguterjunge467]

We know 2007 was not the best year of boll

[ngwoonlam]

Ryu's forehand is super powerful.

[Reggeamof]

Ryu won only 2 matches out of 12 against boll so...

[pprruti]

@Reggeamof hahahaha... I agree completely with you is ridiculous to compare these two players, Boll is much more consistent than Ryu and by this im not saying Ryu is a bad player but Boll is much better "is the reality" and yes im a Timo Boll fan!

[rosun82]

@pprruti Boll is fantastic in matches that doesn't matter...haha

Just think how Boll sucks in all the WTTC single plus Olympic single

[rosun82]

@Reggeamof So what? Rhy is Olympic champion and Boll is just some good player who cannot win important matches...

[Reggeamof]

@rosun82 Boll is really good and the better player. The problem is that he doesn't play well in big tournaments...

[TheJosephGames]

@rosun82 They are the youngest top players right?

[CTMSanJose]

great match

[donkovic09]

RYU IS AMAZING

[J00nas41]

Have a look at the world rankings after that you cant say anymore that ryu is better..

[dsouthpolekk]

pshh.. World Championships are way more important that World Cups anyways..

[Reggeamof]

Boll crushed Ryu world Cup 2008!

[godlikerefugee]

meh. boll only lost cause his bhand isnt strong enough to loop past ryu haha.

but boll couldn't block to ryu's bhand cause hes lefty xD

[MJGriftz]

Well at least Timo's smashing game is superb!

[Theruzzzzz]

not so stange that ryu winns, he has the hardest forehand loop in the world :P

[jaime2658780]

wow wang has the reflex of a panther while ryu has those of a monkey...

[MJGriftz]

Wang who? there's nobody named Wang anything in this vid.

[idnumber002]

he's comparing wang hao and ryu

[young0607]

so..uhh... which is better?

[kevkool230]

the crowd is supporting Ryu as well... just not as much as timo... his cho makes up for it though ahahah

[laksefiske]

Almost no-one is cheering for Ryu!

[young0607]

take those two to Korea and say that again

[king12121]

it JOR! not cho

[spassgamer]

that was such a bad game of timo..I hope he´ll fix that till the olympic games

[Ahuri974]

there are only deutsch supporters

they are screaming each time timo wins

so ryu can screams his CHO he is alone ..

[laksefiske]

I also noticed:) Ryu is very good psyicic, for example in athens, when he was playing Waldner, no-one was cheering for him.

[shello111]

it must be awesome to have that much support, even when your losing

[laksefiske]

To scream "CHO" is not only to be an asshole to the oppnent, but also to make yourself work that extra it takes to win on this level.

[braquemar]

I agree that shouting "CHO!" after a point is dickheaded in theory, but he's just so darn sincere about it.

[NexxtGen]

he's just very determined to win... it doesnt mean anything

[laksefiske]

Both

[kizaman]

lol...the whole cho thing is awesome haha! can't believe people would get pissed or distracted by it lol. bita cho and YOSA makes it a sweet victory

[jebiseprase]

ql ql

[eliman10]

maaaann!!!! ryu's footwork is lightning fast!!!

[ARMEDSh0t]

omg wow ropak ur an IDIOT u think 4-0 is close???wow u need to learn how to play table tennis dude seriously its called common sense get some

[wtfhah]

boll looked like he was making excuses the whole time. not points

[fildeliege]

saive is the best

[TimoBoll22]

saive is an gimp o hate that guy, he thinks hes smug buts hes s**t, hes well past his sell by date

[RynkaB]

HAHA orka GAUTE!!!!

[Cribleet]

koreans will always be superior in footwork and forehand opening

[plot000000]

ryu ripped boll apart. those forehand loops behind boll's back must've pissed him off

[ropak1]

wtf he didnt get owned it was quite close

[NexxtGen]

4-0 is not quite close. only the last set was.

[Chinesekage]

boll isnt as violent as b4

[ThunderingBiscuit]

ping pong should be a more widespread sport

[allandario]

it is very widespread. it is the second most played sport in the world after soccer. unfortunately america lives in another dimension. the most popular sport here its played only in the US, n the 2nd most popular, baseball, its only played in like 5 countries. still americans like to call "the world series" a tournament that is only local, no other countries in the world series, ha!

[criddlenation]

for real man. what is it with this nation. I just got into table tennis on a competition and i'm all "oh ping pong where have you been all my life."

Sometimes i think we only play those sports for the same reasons we still don't use the metric system: arrogance and stubbornness.

[laksefiske]

5th biggest. 2nd biggest individual. Athletes over. Biggest sport worlwide is volleyball, soccer is number 4.

[TableTenniskid88]

I thought it went, 1. Volleyball, 2. Soccar, 3. Table Tennis.

Americans play american football sooooooo yea...

[Kubric]

Ryu's third ball attack was absolutely devastating for Boll...

[jfdr1983]

por fin ryu le gana a boll y en un mudial, y 4-0

[fatcomet]

ryus forehand is always good. this game he served exceptionally well

[peepypoolgott]

yes he won 4:0 because Boll played to often into Ryus Forehand, so he had no Chance to win that damn game ^^

[Galimah]

Ryu indeed have the most brutal FH, as we say in Sweden..."smokers". But...he dont have as good placement with the strokes as Wang Ligin.

[wtfhah]

i agree completely with this guy...ryu's got a great forehand but liqin takes the cake with his control

[5nature]

i didnt see it clearly but ryu owned boll 4-0?

[laksefiske]

Please rate *5, so that other people will see this awesome clip.

[transhuman7]

Man, I wish I could see this in person!

[7093941918]

good job,man upload more plz

[laksefiske]

Anyone who means, after viewing this, Ryu dont got worlds best FH?

[kradyou]

boll had the whole crowd cheering for him, but ryu's roar dominated the entire crowd, and thus the game..

[angelfuree]

I agree with you, but this whole "CHO!" thing can get extremely annoying. It would frustrate and distract me beyond belief. Then again, maybe that's why I'm no professional, not focused enough. ;)
