European Championships: Timo Boll-Evgueni Chtchetinine

[LVF88]

How the hell do you pronounce his name?! Chtchetinine...

[hectp1199]

I think that Chtchetinine was not a choper... am I right? ...lol but even if he was not... he wasn't a good player as well lol ...

[choutoun]

I'd like people that watched this video to watch it again and people that doesn't also to see the difference of game style of the Bielorussian:

1st set:Long balls, Timo hits every ball, no way he loses the set

2nd set : The bielorussian starts to slow down the game, play more in the FH of Timo (in order to use his BH with more spin)

3rd set : THE point. Every ball is short and really accurate! Timo can't topspin fast so that's easier for him.

A model of tactic, every defenser should learn it!

[bboohhkkyy]

Timo -> loop, loop, loop, drop, loop, loop, smash!

Evgueni -> chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, chop, smash!

[iandemagi]

Chtchetinine certainly chops heavier on his forehand.

[millionairejh]

this guy moves like a gremlin... lol

[wggraceful]

Chtchetinine is currently ranked 74th in the world, which is very good for a classic defender.

Still great play to be able to pick up a game off of Boll, Boll typically destroys defenders, even Joo only has three wins against him in 13 tries, 2 of them this year. Impressive, switching to inverted to chop weakspun balls regardless of side twiddling to get them.

Some how its funny what some people write here.. You play better then him? What? You win a Set vs Boll? You are kidding right? You are allways behind the ball in the right position? Sure the Chop movement I also can do, and yes if i want I can give a lot of spin or a nearly empty one. I even can Shoot/Block against Topspins. But i wouldn't be fast as that guy or that save.

Then you guys play in the highest liga of your country. Congratz.. Btw: Half Long pimpels in Chopdefense are a bad joke.

[LegIsLate]

Chen Weixing definitely has a decent attack. But I just wonder which of Chen or Chtchetinine chops better. No doubt Chen has better offense.

Timo plays a beautiful table tennis!

[adambobrow]

Yes. Timo beat Chtchetinine THIS time. But NEXT time......... Timo will probably win as well. Ok, so Timo wins those two.... and maybe three, four and five... but you wait until the big #6!!!!!! THAT will be a match!! That Timo also wins. When it gets really late... my sense of humor... gets a little funny. FUNNY!!! Oh man... I meant strange. Is it tired in here or is it just me?

[YotkeK]

@adambobrow your videos are hilarious...



[adambobrow]

@YotkeK Thanks! More to come.  8>) Hopefully you've seen my latest few. Because it's gonna be tough to keep up soon... if you're an iBanker. Anyway, thanks. Time to do something else important... like watch more table tennis on youtube. 8>D

[adambobrow]

Did you see his flippin' paddle?

[adambobrow]

Youtube viewer: Chtchetinine doesn't have an attack.

Chtchetinine: What? Yes I do.

Youtube viewer: Why are you getting so defensive?!?!

[DKPOWA]

Boring match...

[Chelow935]

Samsonov vs. Suss, great match! Germany's team is great I mean, Timo Boll, Christian Suss, Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Jorg Rosskopf! Those are amazing players! I had a chance to meet Rosskopf and see him play, amazing =]

[LightSpeed99999]

I think the Suss-Samsonov match was way better lol.

[Opalance]

Wow, looks like Chtchetinine uses an ooooold 3 ply blade with tsp curl and generic thinner sponge chopping rubber, but oooooold lookin stuff. 4:56
