This is one of the highest quality performances from ANY player in recent years by Maze. To beat Boll on his own Turf, the way he played, was fantastic. I hope we will see Maze return from injury to reclaim his European title.
Maze was good at this tournament, but Timo Boll wasn't fit enough and had problems on his back, he's now ranked as number 2 after Ma long, Maze is now 11th..
I don't know what Boll was thinking most of this match, he was just throwing his loops right down the middle of the table making it easy for Maze to just get into counter loop rallies with him and never took control of the point when he had the chance to home him back and forth...
Maze was incredible first 3 games Boll couldn't handle it, but then Boll showed his class and battled really well to take it to a final game. Top stuff
The ball hitted the edge at maze's side, that's why the serve was so high and suprised boll becauze boll tought that maze was using his hand or something like that
Уважаемый автор! Я в полном восторге от выложенных Вами клипов с ЧЕ!!! Особенно замедленные концовки - сплошной восторг в общем! Большое Вам спасибо от меня и от остальной общественности не подключенной пока еще к инету.
To all of you who always talks about Boll as the best player in europe. He did loose the final. He is no longer the best. That´s what championships are all about ! All credit to Maze who plays the most entertaining tabletennis of all and still manages to win. Boll is boring Maze is marvelous !
Maze trained to be aggressive, Boll is surprised and lost the match. We will see what happen at the England Open where all World Class players will play, only Wang Hao is not playing.
I like the style of play of both players. I still like Boll's style better. I also think that Maze service toss is sometimes not legal if you see how he tosses the ball towards him, instead of straight upwards
Maze looks like he's calmed down a lot -- no more theatrics during matches. I wonder if he's recently gotten married. I behave better at matches if my woman is watching.
Boll on his homepage: "It wasn´t my goal to win three gold medals. I am a realist. After the long break my goal was, that my body can stand the load of this long tournament. And he did! I am sure, that i will get better in the next weeks.
is timo boll a better player? yeah, i would say so. but was he a better player in this european championship? no. maze was on fire, so he kinda deserved the title right?
or you think cause you are normally better you should win when you havent prepared yourself good enough? lol. some people amazes me.
Thats when Maze had no backhand, u see here that a LOT of Michael's backhands are simply too fast for timo, and not only for timo, its seen in all his matches. Maze has gained an enormous weapon, so u can compare him to the player he was before..
interesting analysis, but unfortunately whit alot of flaws. for example, you right out claim he wont win the ettc again, even though you dont present any facts or anything that makes me believe you. also i believe you must agree that even if you believe timo boll was better and maze wouldent normally win the ettc, you must to agree that he could get lucky, and win again. he has won the europa top 12 before so its not like they underestimate him.
where do you base your claim on that boll was not at a 100 percent? because he lost to maze who he has lost to before? or your silly claim that he played double to, even though he kinda does that to alot of tournaments though it dosnt affect his single in those cases.
much better then maze you say. not in skill i am afraid, as maze was rated by many experts to be the next european front figure some years ago. he had a mental breakdown though. has played like shit until now.
Maze at his best! Saw the match live! Great atmosphere. Maze did no easy mistakes, played very savely. Very good serve, strong and relyable backhand moves. He forced Boll to make many mistakes - so he really deserved the victory. Congratulations to the best player at the ETTC 09: Michael Maze...
maze, i noticed he was attacking with his backhand more. That new danish coach must be helping!!! he really deserved it, after so many semi final places, a title to his name
great match, it too bad that Boll played so average for the first three games. You could notice a definite change in the effort he was putting into the game, when he came back, but alas it wasn't enough
I think it Boll didn't play better after that three games. Maze started to attack very agressively with his forehand, and Timo blocked that balls good, so Maze got in time trouble. The last game Michael started to play quiet and smart again, with much spin, which seems to be a lot harder for Boll. No offense to Boll, but Maze deserves this title, and Boll already has it so i preferred Maze to win lol =)
timo wasn't playing his best but MAZE! he was on fire. thank god to the person who told him to stop lobbing. his offensive is just the best he's ever had!!
Boll can play much better than today, but Maze really deserved to win the ETTC. He was simply irresistable and impressive the most of the time. Will he become a serious threat for the chinese stars?
in the first 3 sets timo made some easy mistakes. but maze was brillant too. at the hole ettc 2009 he was the best player. he is in a very good shape.
