Europe Top 12: Timo Boll-Vladimir Samsonov

[ILoveSillyContrast]

0:03 Samsonov = Belarus

8:29 Samsonov = Poland

[Swiffers]

Boll just downloaded Samsonov. xD

[keichan575]

boll play usueal myself best play.what a fight player!!

[lifevt94hellotoworld]

Many commentators seem to be equally surprised with Timo´s comebacks. The truth is timo relies 100 % on his comebacks. He is completely used lying behind with at least 2 games, and if he didn´t manage to pull a comeback he´d be on (at most) rank 10 by now.

[luispepeful]

Vlamidir ... he always is sad

[Springer3290]

Der Boll geht schon ab ehh ^^

[jami9595]

Is that persson on the left ? 4:33

[zedzulzorander]

@jami9595 The one making the hand motions? michael maze

[cxxdx1]

@jami9595 yes is person and maze . dx

[ttpetiyyy]

4:3, 11:9 in the end... Quite good! :)

[powerofchaos1]

0:39 I just love how Samsonov plays his backhand. No long moves, just smacking the ball on the table :D

[chidory95]

queria que ganara samsonov

[julasinio]

can someone please give me a link to a match where samsonov wins? never saw one...

[YotkeK]

Boll looks like an intelligent person..

[YoSuaYoSaN]

i didnt know that table tennis also got mascots and cheerleaders until i watch this video!!

[whattubeaccount]

samsonov probably pees in the sink

[killer90pl]

8:37 Polish flag next to Samsonov name lol haha FAIL!

[MrArsenalist]

and i though that i can play good table tennis...Vladi is greatest ever

[2741470]

V. Samsonov is da king of table tennis,he makes it look easy .

[marotoma]

@2741470

that´s it!

[mayitov94]

LOL its funny that in 9:10, samsonov is thinking "that could have been me ;( " XD

[reezwa]

i think samsonov did not made it as far as he could, because he is one of the most talented european ever.. he simply didnt live up to the expectations and i think that he lacks some mental stability and that is visible even in this match. last couple of matches he has played with timo, he, in the first 2 games, had a game, had a result but didnt know how to finish him of.. 5 star clip

[remodrummer99]

Cheerleaders in ping pong? Nice

[ttclaws55]

wang liqin is bigger than samsonov

[Topspinify]

Timo Boll - Vladimir Samsonov is a real classic! It's what makes table tennis fun! ✔✔✔

[ttclaws55]

i like timo's style

[QuantumStates]

Excellent match.

[bassflyerhomie]

poland has a new top player ^^

[runeslaya]

One thing i dont get is why when the game was over and they showed the score, they had the polish flag beside samsonov's name xD he's from belarus lol!

[farofir]

*** Two awesome players and that's why they are among the best in the world BUT Timo Boll is: Faster, more technical, more accurate and that is why he stands much better than Vladimir. Let's not forget Timo beat the top 3 Chinese players of the world back in 2005 (Liebher, Germany) to win the world cup, an achievement that Vladimir has never had. Peace to all///

[TheJohneezy]

Samsonov sucks so much he always loses to Timo, I guess the fighters usually win in ping pong

[xanax12345]

Useless cunts like you always post shit.

Go crawl under a rock.

[Ad1rtytub3s0ck]

Timo played a great game...and so did Vladmir...lol

[touchdiamondmax]

the table sounds horrible

[All69Star]

Vladimir Samsonov :) he's from poland :) 8:35

[casioet]

@All69Star lol xD

[milotist]

timo boll -my idol

[thayyatt]

Dear ttCountenance,

Your channel is the best and thank you very much for your effort, but could you please not put any tags on your vids? particularly on the score panel? Really appreciated, thank you again!

[ixixyixix]

@thayyatt

You can turn these announcements off

[jesus10019]

I'm sure you know but there is an option to turn off those annotations. On the far right of the toolbar click on it and two options will come up. Hover over the first one, it should be red and say turn annotations off. That solves your problem.

Hope it helps :)

Jesus10019

[thayyatt]

thanks! did not know about that option before

[ersguterjunge467]

it dont matter how much topspins they made

[Kostol0mus]

я знаю , Самсонов жжёт!!! хоть он и русский но не за Россию выступал

[TableTennisAle]

awesome game...

watch the girls in the last minute.... i'm in love(L)

[max095]

wow, great performance by both players, but in the end timo rises as the winner :)

[ingullar]

Samsonov is the BEST! He got kick ass to all narrow-eyed china-made guys on Leibherr 2009 in Moscow, and Boll even didn't pass the quaterfinals.

[timlin1111]

@ingullar

I take that as a racist remark to chinese......

[ingullar]

Take it as you want, dude, but always remember the deal your chinese brothers do in Taiwan and in Tibet.

[timlin1111]

What deal?

I am fm taiwan btw......

Just living in singapore.....

[Pewpshmear]

lobbing doesnt seem to work against samsonov. that guys fucking tall....

[YotkeK]

@Pewpshmear Actually, it kind of pretty worked for Boll by the most of his lobs rallies

[Pingpongkingen94]

@YotkeK one time it worked..

[tedbratton]

wow samsonovs backhands were killers this match

[VitinhuShutMan]

Timo Boll is the best table tennis player ever!!!!

[NexxtGen]

not really... not even close

[bkkings1212]

how much do they get paid

[stevema2]

timo boll fought this one till the end...samsonov is and amazing sidespin player! He knows how to handle it and does it very well with his serve :)

[DKPOWA]

Its a shame that Samsonov doesnt really counterspin as good as his other skills, he ended up losing the match because of that..

[jujoo17]

Od kiedy Samsonov to polak??

[mybaranowski]

Samsonov THE BEST !!!!!

[kokadriguez]

The second hardest sport in the world accordin NASA!!, and the second sport that balances well fisic and mental skills

[vorbeigehende]

and the first hardest?

[kokadriguez]

I made a mistake, is the hardest sport in the world accordin NASA in elite form and the second healthy sport in the world, fantastic

[danieleneltubo]

Great Boll, great Samasanov, my european favorite!

[longmatt]

Wow, both are incredibly talented players! It looks so easy, and yet I know that it's not...

[jpjoao1234]

timo é zika

[heijmen]

i was there, and samsonov was better!

unlucky he lost..

[lemonite1]

I thought he had 'em.

[Bossiiiii]

Class B level match when there's no chinese player

[gastonfprom]

timo the best 5/5 stars man

[poniup]

why on the video samsonov is polish :D? he's belarian. (i'mean about the flag at the end score)

gr8 match, samsonov was very unlucky...

[Dannymaus300]

ASO WALNDER IS DER BESTE MAN IHR HABT KP

[Fakeslimshady]

samsonov makes me sleep

[shaojiang]

timo boll is the best !!!

[HyPaRaiSeR]

achwas Mr Gentleman Vladimir SAMSONOV for ever !! der fairste Spieler der Tischtennis geschichte !!!

[PhiliBas]

timo ist der beste!!!!!!!

[jfdude10]

what the heck was 6:45 ??

[peepypoolgott]

jawoll timo

[FayeShadow]

wtf how tall is samsonov...it looks so gay when he makes his services lol

[fifouforever]

anyway, Samsonov plays very well in this match!!

[PingMast]

cant u guys see that europe player attacking ain't that powerful and fast as the chinese player??such as ma long....wang liqin......all this kind of top chinese player

[iMaxrahi]

It's their styles. Timo has always had a more controlled attack whereas Samsonov blocks more.

[binhobrmale]

if only you could see how intelligent Timo is handling the ball....he puts it in dificult spots for the other guy...

[hamburgerroyalts11]

the reason for that is, that the europe player attack with more spin, and less speed, but that´s more efficient. spin is mostly better than speed!

sry for bad english

[PingMast]

nope you are wrong....speed is more important if there is speed you cant block it....thats too fast....but spin....can easily loop back bty a speed guy....thats more important

[yOGidabaer]

Genau, deswegen werden die Chinesen auch regelmäßig von den Europäern verdroschen... -.- Ein herzliches Dieter Nuhr!

[vieti1995]

nice backhand 0:39

[Nightcowboy03123]

the table is shorter isn't?

[reverseinfinity]

who's the hottie that was signing autographs?

[taufoofar]

Lol, she's Li Qian. A chinese defender from Poland. She's really pretty.....

[Mitha4]

haha lol

[GUDUNGU]

E aí Timo, vamu tirá uma?

[Rebeliant11]

timo boll jest najleprzy

[NIKETOTAL7]

Timo Boll rocks. It's not luck, hes just too good. He even beat Ma Lin at the Qatar Open 2009. Was that luck?

[abdiver12]

Timo was damn lucky to win this match. He started out extremely tight, made tons of errors and gave Samsonov a big lead. Kudos to him for find a way to win this incredibly tight match.

[youngplaya18]

how much he gets?

[miang27]

Samson's backhand is pretty wild!

[atthy4]

i love Samsonov s techniqe . i think he uses his long arms very well. he has already beaten all tt stars in his carrier

[kopfohnehirn]

timo is a great player! especially he plays brillaintly when he is in deficit, as at quatar open when he was 1:3 behind against hao shuai and barely won :)

#Leoniell

i agree you but timo boll has ever played badly during world championships :(

so this time i hope he can play in the shape how he played in the last time.

furthermore he has got a very good drawing so that he must play against a top-chinese soonest in the semifinal :):) ...

[LeonieII]

Timo is in the shape of his lifetime. He improved his footwork etc. Hard to beat this year. I´m curious, how he plays during the world championship. He was slightly injured, but i don´t think, this will stop him. My prediction: He- or Wang Hao will be the new world champion.

[tabletennis4]

omg boll is so much betta.....wen he stops lobbing!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oli1410]

only 9000 € prize money?? for this effort??

[brunozxch2o]

WTF?!

can't believe that boll won that match...

even when loosing it for 3x1...

=D

[STIGABOY123]

samsonov fought so hard some of the matches were just so close and timo was under pressure but he one of greatest for a reason because he knows how to pull himself together and fight back to win most player wouldv'e have failed to win because of the huge amount of pressure but well done TIMO!!!

[marfealsantiago]

Samsonov has good placing skills, but for some reason, I hate how he moves! he appears too lame, too lousy. Boll moves like a real TT warrior.

[jayaaron1]

Hmmm.. Maybe Samsonov is trained with a different method? Thats why his footwork don't seem like a pro TT player

[Krampefedt]

YAY! Michael Maze come on 3rd :D

[17ben17]

samsanov looks so pissed of when boll lifts the trophy.

[BLUeCLimbers]

LOL i know... too funny.. both good players, Boll is favored over Vlad IMO.

[wabigor]

Samsonov blocks so good :O

but Boll is the king ;)

[Luxchef]

timo boll ist der beste

[tato4527]

My favorite table tennis player is Vladimir Samsonov..

[DuchDoby]

Vladi in only one European who can really beat Timo Boll.

[tato4527]

1.90 mts.

[gdl30]

wow so how tall is vladimir?

[curarpikt107]

I'd like to see timo in shorter pants

[NexxtGen]

lol i like how kreanga and maze are making a little chat afterwards

[curmosc]

What a great match!

[DuchDoby]

Final was only one interesting match. Why Timo beat Vladi again? Because he is atacker and Vladi too much blocking...In this highlights ins t looks that, but i saw whole match and Vladi is just so much blocking...

[kioka2]

Samsonov blocks its the one of best of the world, and he is not blocking too mutch, he blocks when is necessary, and he attacks is very powerfull (spin) (sorry for bad englesh)

[heijmen]

yes,i was there to and the first 3 games vladi was better and have maked lots of points with attack......sorrry for bad english to

[solanea]

butterfly = maze and boll

Tibhar = Samsonov

joola = kreanga????

[samsonov123]

joola-schlager for a long time, now joola is sposoring chen weixing and robert gardos (for exp.)

[david93fcb]

@donvitcor: mistake... :D

[donvitcor]

LOL i thought samsonov is from belarus, so why is there a polish flag in the end of the clip?

[david93fcb]

great match, thx for uploading .. after the last point the hall exploded and it was great to see timo boll winning in the town where he lives :)

[jamesjyu]

very very nice match full of quality rallies.

[hubfred]

Great final indeed and I agree with samsonov123 that this was their best encounter so far (and that's saying something). But, poor Vladi. Such a great sportsman (like Timo). I would have happily granted him the win this time although I am big fan of Timo's. Losing two European championships and by now the third Top12 title against the same man must be a tough thing to bear although their wins are more or less equally distributed among them. Anyways, I wish we see more of that in the future. Bye

[wiitobs]

hey where do you download this video or from which programme do you rec it.

[hubfred]

if you're fine with the summary of the match here you could use e.g. a firefox plugin that enables you to save this vid to your hard drive. The quality loss during the conversion (if there is at all) is negligible.

[reverters]

Samsonov is AMAZING!!! HE IS THE BEST!!!!

[PingMast]

samsonov throw the ball so high for??lol...all the audience is supporting timo boll....

[samsonov123]

There is hq button. It might be the best match between those two ever played, don't you think?

[newhubiba]

Great, but anyway i miss the High Qualitiy Button. Great match !!

[raytsh]

Great match! (and first comment maybe :D )
