@ZeDuBreju The chinese weren't as dominant as today, they began to dominate in the mid 90's, so he didn't really show "everybody" they weren't invincible hehe
TTYounga!! Why don't you let the clip run in actual speed? And for Petes sake loose the muzak!!! Do you really think that people are in for shitty music when they're searching' for top notch table tennis clips?
If Waldner's body was a bit younger playing with this guy we would definitely have owned him....but then again he showed great skills in playing the game even at this age...All praises to the Greatest Player of all Times...Waldner...My hero! peace!
I think he lost against Johnny Huang, who on the other hand lost against Liu afterwards in the QFs, right after the round robin back then. Not quite sure though.
Funny thing is..You watch any player from 90's late 90's, early 2000 and even till now..and they learnt a lot about the game from watching videos of Waldner. Half of chinese coaching staff has played Waldner..the Guy just wont go away. Waldner is Table tennis!!!
@robinho1979 Too right, Cai Zhenhua played his international retired game with him, then Jiang Jialiangs, Ma Wenges, Liu Guoliangs, Wang Liqins and Wang Haos, Ma Longs, one man against seven generation.
Waldner had problems with the air conditioning. After this match he said that the ball was floathing around all the time...that's why he demonstrated at the end..
Han är sjukt bra .he was unbeateble but noot anymoore. A comeback in elitserien this seson makes the leven higher and when jörgen persson is gone to germany is he the best in the league
Tell sure, every sport evolves. That's like saying Kobe Bryant is better than Michael Jordan because basketball technique is better now (it isn't, just a lot of rule changes). The only way to compare players from different eras is to look at how dominant they were in their own times. And there's no question, Waldner was the most dominant and most long-lasting champion.
c'mon man. didnt you learn your lesson last time. damn the same song tho. what is this your favorite song or something... im sittin here tryin to watch my boy waldner play but i have to listen to this trash. such a letdown...
he needs to win one more for a third place match but well played to both of them

Jan-Ove Waldner shows everybody that chinese players were not invincible. He was the best at 80's and 90's and he still playing as well.

If hiding serves is still legal, Waldner would beat Wang because only Liu Guoliang and Waldner are the best server of all time.

Too bad Waldner didn't win it. If he was 2 years younger and a few pounds lighter, he would certainly kill Liqin.

That means nothing. Chinese players at that time were not the best. The technique has improved a lot since then.
