World Cup: Wang Hao-Timo Boll

[badcompany2984]

Wang Hao my favourite Chinese player.

[luispepeful]

0:16 WOWWW effect

[zobayer1]

worst by timo I have seen so far...

[vivek65522]

TT is the only racket game where you can invite your opponent to play shots(lobbying) , you do that in Badminton , or Tennis you are doomed :P

[nicholastang1217]

TIMO was angry!!!btw..wong hao is brilliant

[MrSchoppes]

shakehands rocks



[MrSchoppes]

alter der wang hao trifft ja nur noch netz

[frickenbaba]

Timo Boll hit the net A LOT.

[Barney11140]

Whats upp Timo ?



[aftermath1983]

@narayannir It is really reverse back hand that rocks. Penholders without RBH don't stand a big chance against shakehands.

[kandot84]

@aftermath1983 really?

[SnowConeHospitalers]

He never loses...wtf

[TheDonColombo]

Wow...

what a match!

even being timo a great player Wang Hao is just a monster, Timo had nothing to do against him.. awesome level.

[melgdr]

timoboll have phobia with wang hao.. many times they got played but wang hao always the winner.. but timoboll was a great player, your always be the number 1 for me..=)

[TrenchantWit]

Fur der most part auf der match, Boll juzt standz und watchez der ball go paszt him!

[Ahsin4]

i think it was worst performance by timo boll

[Swedishnerd]

What was that shot at 0:16??? Was it a chop or a topspin? How did he do that?

[VanDoorenVid95]

@Swedishnerd topspin, he barely hitted the ball that means the effect on it will increase:) very difficult

[Iliketoplay89]

@Swedishnerd he just didnt hit the ball well. There was not as much spin on the ball as Boll thought, thats why he hit it in the net. If your oponent loops you try to bring the ball low again, but with a ball with little spin you just hit the net, with a ball with lots of spin you will play the ball over the table.

[Swedishnerd]

@Iliketoplay89 Ah, I see. I wonder if he hit it like that on purpose though to confuse Boll or if it was a fortunate mishit. Thanks for your replies!!

[narayannir]

pen holders rock

[yobmas722]

wang hao is not really explosive here but he still rocked

[snotberg123]

does nobody want to show some love to Wang Hao?! BEST WISHES FROM ASIAN-AMERICANS HAO <3

[Mryousonastyful]

you can always tell when it was timo's point because a deep voiced crowd roar goes off haha

[hkjkdsifu]

Wang played very well! Changing his angles superbly!

[PakiEagle1]

pin holders are the best

[XMcNealX]

i was there...timo had a bad form....

[terrain666]

he`s drog.. :D



[nybombs]

house music yay

[Irfan87]

Wang Hao's RPB is just insane.

[ozkar337]

3:27min

=S!!!

[1991Jin]

@nasnag22:

Because they played in Germany and there weren so much chinese fans, just german ;)

[yobmas722]

@MerrIoI so what do you have against blacks... so what if some guy fancies wang hao's shoes.. at least he has ambition... unlike you racist bastard..

[Kojidom1]

war timo besoffen oder so? o.o

[TrenchantWit]

Der veri unsportink crowd!! Gut dat Boll got hiz azz kikt by Wang Hao.Dis vill teach der crowd der meaning auf respekt!

[Nasnag22]

Wang Hao makes the point and no one clapped. Boll makes the point everyone is shouting and clapping ^ ^

[2ShaePussyCat]

Timo missed alot this game :(

[jSlipkNoTj]

timo lo tiene todo, juega limpio gran vision de juego inteligencia y como en este partido el sabe perder ES EL JUGADOR MAS QUERIDO DE TODO EL TENIS DE MESA Or Table Tennis

[bryszkn]

Timo probably had a thigh injury

[2797bos]

timo boll is the best .

[keineahnung1978]

in letzter zeit ist timo nicht mehr so konstant wie früher...... schade. was nicht heißt dass er total schlecht spielt

[Pege17]

@keineahnung1978

Genau! Deswegen ist er auch seit diesem Jahr die Nummer 1 DER WELT

[keineahnung1978]

@Pege17

hat doch damit nix zu tun....mir ist nur aufgefallen , dass atm dort fehler macht , wo er früher keiner fehler gemacht hat.....

[HEriNg90]

@keineahnung1978

welche fehler meinst du denn?

[falconisko]

4:54 Timo looks pretty mad, kinda like a sulking kid.... not a good day for Timo at all, no footwork, no power, a lot of mistakes, bad server returns....something was definitely off... although, i still lov u Timmy <3

[RA07010]

wang's shoes is good!!

[respekt200]

Hao is back!

[Guoguodi]

Looks like the analysts on the Chinese team came up with good advice. Wang Hao really exploited Timo's weakness by forcing him to block on his BH so much. It's good to see Wang Hao back in top form too!

Timo has to switch his grip every time he transitions between FH to BH or vice versa, which forces him to be much more passive in his blocking and limits his control over the rallies. That said, it takes a player of Wang Hao's caliber to exploit this weakness effectively.

[IngopienGer]

@Guoguodi

That´s right! He´s always "nailing" him down on the BH-side. After two to three balls if Timo didn´t already made the fault, he switches to FH and wins the point instantly!

Timo is too slow to compensate his weak backhand.

Don´t get me wrong, i would be so pleased having Timos BH but in comparison to the players on the top level he got one of the weakest.

[gsofficial]

@IngopienGer Timo's BH focuses more on spin than speed. It's the most consistent of all top players, but you are right that he seldom uses it to finish points like, say, Ma Long, Wang Hao, or Kreanga.

[TabletennisDavid]

@Guoguodi Great analysis!

[gigibuybuy]

@Guoguodi you mean boll actually changes his grip a little going from forehand to backhand? i never noticed he changes grip because sometimes he fake a back hand and then blocks forehand with very little time, but i don't know if he has to change the grip for a serious loop.

[lopezrodriquez]

I'm waiting eagerly for ETTC in Gdańsk next year,

this will be an interesting experience

[lopezrodriquez]

chinese robot made less mistakes

[adambobrow]

Yeah. Wang Hao played well... but it was a tough day for Timo as well. I haven't seen him miss so many balls since he played Tiago in Austria... hmmm... ok, but outside of that... he usually plays better 8>)

[qingian]

Wang Hao here shows the importance of training. No doubt back at the team house, there are at least 2-3 lesser players who train everyday to imitate Boll's every move, so that Wang can get as much practice against Boll's tricks and steps as he needs. On the other hand, Boll is 'alone' as far as that goes, and his coach Rosskopf has not fared well against Wang in the past either.

[freestylliver]

its defenitly not the timo we normally know

[DocCouz]

We are really far from the Timo we used to see... One of the 1st time at 4:54 I see him bcoming so excited!

[MrPoorplay]

there's something wrong with boll

[Tamarovboy]

@MrPoorplay there is nothing wrong with him.

This match shows that Wang Hao's backhand is more imroved

[MrPoorplay]

@Tamarovboy Yeah, it is. I just said that because Boll acted weird in the 5th set but now I think it's due to the fact that he wasted too many points.

[PakiEagle1]

@MrPoorplay yes that he cant play with wang hwo

[viproxor]

@MrPoorplay So? He always is good player but now he got bad day.Everyone good player got in life bad days.

[ravaneli55]

@MrPoorplay He's not Chinese?

[max095]

Great game by Wang Hao, nice ball placement, otherhand, bad day for boll... by the way, those somebody know where can I get those wang hao shoes?... or at least tell me wich brand are then.... (:

[Spackoschach]

@max095 MIZUNO Wave Medal

try google ;)

[lyrock]

@max095 wang hao and other chinese national players are wearing MIZUNO shoes.

[AMYVOICE]

What happened to Timo Boll? He is not at his best condition obviously.

[17teacmrocks]

@AMYVOICE looks like he hurt himself. when he was walking, he shifted his weight off the left leg.

and he seemed defeated from the beginning so it's not like he was losing then gave up

[tanxu]

wang hao is enjoying himself again!!

timo did not have a good day at all

[nanoleks]

I knew Wang Hao was lookin for european blood

hahaha

[J0kerofHearts]

hmm, did wang hao do well, or did timo just have a bad day??

[JackIntheBK]

Idk why nobody is saying it but Boll didn't just "not play his best match".

He played horrible. That was not professional playing. Lousy to say the least.

[pprruti]

@JackIntheBK Yes sir.. im a Timo Boll fan and what you say makes total sense...

[iamkeisler]

@JackIntheBK oh ye of high expectations...

[Opalance]

Weaaaaaaak...the rest of the world needs to just give up on offensive play and just play defense, junk pips, blocking, something, but you cant beat the Chinese at their own game.

[pprruti]

@Opalance I don't agree with you but i respect your opinion though... Timo Boll is the Best non chinesse player that can beat them, and has beaten them, regardless of anything... He is one of the best players aswell in Topspin vs Topspin play.

[Opalance]

@pprruti He has like a 30% win rate against them though, that's pathetic that he's the best of the rest and yet he has a losing record to all the Chinese...

[pprruti]

@Opalance Yes it is true... but it's not pathetic though, because all of us fans waisting our time watching these videos by youtube, would wish to play like Timo Boll and be in his place or any other player's place... regardless of nationality.

[wasdwasdedsf]

hows that pathetic? 

[Opalance]

@wasdwasdedsf Because Boll is supposed to be the best non-Chinese in the world and he got destroyed.

[wasdwasdedsf]

yep, and ma long is uspposed to be the best int he world and got retardowned 3-0 versus someone I think not even in the top100.

and being top10 in the world and number one nonchinese is pathetic in what way again? a real comment this time please

[Opalance]

@wasdwasdedsf Wow, you waited over 3 months to reply to this? If you mean Ma Long's loss to Chan Kazuhiro (one of his 3 losses in 2010, him, Timo Boll, and Wang Liqin) he was injured and also Chan is Chinese who moved to Japan to play. And Chan is #53 in the world, so easily top 100.

Timo Boll lost 11 matches in 2010 and Ma Long lost 3, yet Timo Boll takes over the #1 spot even though he went 2 wins 7 losses against the Chinese in 2010.

[wasdwasdedsf]

exactly, you said that he was pathetic for the reason of losing a match to the 2-4 in the world or whatever wang is at, and then you have to wonder how disgraceful ma long has to be to 3-0 to chan. and hence I killed your retardargument.

now once again can you answer me how it is that boll is a pathetic person for being top10 for so many years and as you seem to say currently first in the rankings?

[Opalance]

@wasdwasdedsf Listen, I don't give a shit about or your "retardarguments" you can just go fuck yourself a new asshole for all I care, he's worse than all the chinese ranked below him, he almost always loses to them, and he's the best of the non-Chinese but he gets owned by them all and by people like Tiago Apolinia or whatever. It's pathetic that he's the best of the rest, you're pathetic, and you can go die, fuck off.

[wasdwasdedsf]

oh no, you cant counter my ownage anymore.

so hes worse than any chinese man or woman in the world? or just anyone on the rankings list?

and ma long gets owned by people like chan

its pathetic to be the best nonchinese player how? then just how pathetic are you? do you have a scale?

[Opalance]

@wasdwasdedsf Sure there's a scale, it's you, your a fucking internet troll who spends his whole life on here bitching and fighting with people, Go set yourself on fire you dick.

[wasdwasdedsf]

so no more attempts at arguments then? completely given up?

[22christos]

@pprruti im a big fun of timo but definately he is not one of the best at topspin vs topspin..

[pprruti]

@yorch877 (Y) Yes sirrrr...

[DeadlyDaem]

dang.. what a waxing!

[plot000000]

damn, wang hao's "CHOY" is so annoying.

[yilawren]

good boll lost, now i can say...

boll had hard time executing rallies.

some say, all you have to do I get the ball

to the other side of the table.

But, you also have to get the other guy to miss.

difference between good player and winning player.

[yilawren]

3:28 commentary

side-back spin serve.

light touch, top spin return.

light touch, back spin return.

net touch. spins back to other side.

[Discw0rld]

Hao lost some pounds or?

[teo1000t]

With whom will wang hao play in a final?

[lumm71]

Incredible backhand: 01:56.

[DKPOWA]

3:28 so much backspin xD

4:09 SO MUCH TOPSPIN, possibly, the BH topspin with more amount of effect in history :P

All in all, a somewhat interesting match, even though WH crushed TB :D

[madarivi]

boll played under his level. his balance and footwork were way off

[rcmontecalvo]

i'm waiting for the day when wang hao would be number one once more

[abdo76353]

Thanks

[radioheadnyc]

WH is finally getting more confident

[TTridata]

Both played well but Wang Hao is a machine.

[sallom899]
