i think you guys are nuts! I think Persson played better than Joo in this match. Joo barely squeezed this one out, not to mention his nets and edges in opportune situations. Have some respect for a legend.
@EdMajinLee199999 I have to agree with you. For Persson at this age to give a top 10 player like Joo a run for his money is an absolute testament to just how much of a legend Persson really is.
It's ridiculous to say he has "little competitive athletic capacity left". Joo Se Hyuk is in the world's top 10. Few players of ANY age could test Joo as well as Persson did here.

evilgart, that is because in Europian countries, the coaches fail to know how to chop properly, countries like korea and japan can chop perfectly, it is just a matter of timing, i can see that u suck in realising how important spin is in table tennis
its probably not YOUR tactic to use, but whatever it is, joo is one of the few players who are able to give the chinese a hard time, If they aren't up to the task 100% he WILL cause an upset
@evilgart, if one know how to utalize Chops and Loops, (Defense & Offense), thats the tactic of good choppers. Joo is now ranked 10 - 11th of the world
Yes, I agree that at 43, an old and slow Persson is only good for doing promotional / entertainment type of stuff, like Killerspin, for the American sheep on whom bullshit American corporations prey. He plays like bullshit Hollywood's Forrest Gump there. ☆☆☆
I agree with Mr. @tyoungos that Persson has little competitive athletic capacity left, but his commercial value has begun to rise when he is associated with predatory capitalists.
@smart0money why do u have to bring politics into this, you ignorant socialist worm. Capitalism is predatory? You know who is friendly? Staling and Hitler and Mao, who together under the socialist flag murdered 160 million people in the last century, most of which their own.
@tyoungos you really dont know anything then. At 43, he still was among the BEST and made it to the Semi-Final of the Beijing Olympics. You guyz have no respect for a Legend, and u dont have ur facts straight...Phew, i guess the average age of a utube user is 13 or something :P
@tyoungos What are you talking about ??? (and 18 thumbs up ???) Of course Persson is old, but he is still, i think the top 30-40 of the world and plays very well. So he's obviously good for more than doing promotional (although he's doing promotional).
But you're right at one thing: He's technique looks really a little bit like forrest Gump (you could say also, that Gumps technique looks like Perssons, because Persson of course were playing tt, before the film comes out)
@tyoungos You have to kidding moron lol. At 43 he went to the Bronze medal round at the Olympics. What sheep to prey on? We have 6000 rated active players. Not much of a base to fleece, that's for sure. Germany has 750,000. France 500,000. As for being sheep. We're free. It's the Chinese, Indians, Middle Easterners, Most Asains, Africans etc that are the sheep... totally dominated by their governments. Say one thing sideways out of your mouth and disappear forever lol
If you knew what you were talking about you would know who the top player in your own country is and who represented Sweden at the European championships just now and beat Suss, Saive, and Gardos there. He also beat Ovtcharov and Kreanga earlier this year. Gerell has been playing in the Pro Tour and German Bundesliga for the last 5 years, he's no amateur.
Gerell is rated higher, he's doing better now than Persson, that's why Persson is retired and just doing promotional type stuff like this. He's 43, he's old and not as good as he used to be, hardly any sport has athletes competing too long after 40.
And yes, I'm an amateur table tennis player, I'm not personally sponsored or paid to play. I just play at a couple clubs, at tournaments, and am the head of my college team.
