WTTC 1999 Waldner Ma Lin

[Poseidon99Jeus]

Ma Lin, first time I see him getting excited easily like this. I think he takes some medicines now.

[QuantumStates]

Very beautiful, historic game for both players.

[georged2011]

no holds barred table tennis

[napleee]

Waldner and his coach dislikes this

[vageta9281984]

So many passing shots, were the players just slower back then???

[lesliefrancs]

@vageta9281984 LOL not at all. The ball used to be smaller, so it used to move faster. And back then there were less regulations on rubbers and rubber modifications (i.e. speed gluing).

[jmirandaherrera]

excelente.... NO HABÍA VISTO ESTE EXCELENTE PARTIDO ANTIGUO PERO BUENÍSIMO.....

[losmainlop]

Probably, the two best players of table tennis!

[saifmerseysider]

plot00000 a legend will always be a legend. No such thing as declining legend, ok.

[plot000000]

rising legend playing a declining legend.

[Jeteso2009]

i want to see the final...

[tabletennispenhold]

@Jeteso2009 search for "liu guoliang vs ma lin 1999"

[TheJosephGames]

Wow hahaha 04:05 nice service.

[olaniyi570]

Similar ace against Samsonov in 97 but even better. This is a heart breaking loss for J-0.

[str3123]

Waldner - the kind of edge table and net points...

[philuhhh]

so much speed... wow.

[dummychaos]

I must say. This is the best game I've ever seen in my life. Two giants battleing it off, it can't be greater than this. And as a Swede, Ma Lin rules. He won the greatest game ever. Good job Old Guy! Love you all chinese people! Ma Lin, hope he gets to be great politician some day!

[joyofpepsi]

you know when ma wins the point cause of what he yells

[kFward]

5:08 is DIRTY

[elodiedazur]

Quel match d'anthologie, en effet...

[Sorikairo1618]

@elodiedazur Walder a fait beaucoup de match d'antologie. Pas sur que celui là en soit.

[jayjaymatt]

for some reason i thought it was liu guoliang and was thinking wow ma lin is a carbon copy of liu guiliang isnt he!! lol then read the title again and realised what a muppet i was!

[panteraistheshit86]

best match ive seen waldner play

[bigwallace33]

@panteraistheshit86 thats because youtube didnt exist in his prime

[cundmaethorshaman]

great job by ma lin... you're the best



[fullfunk]

my racket is shhit with that new white permanent glue, speed glue much better speed and feeling!

[IIkingdomII]

@fullfunk and much better toxic effects on your body

[waldner97]

waldner is still t´he best player ever

[Beeray11]

ooooooooooooooooh speedglue, how you are missed and should have never been outlawed.

[JaxAkaJT]

ma lin voice is much younger that time...:D

[TheAz159143]

@JaxAkaJT no ma lin is much older at that time 

[kreanga000]

mizutani tiene talento pero ni comparado con estos dos sobre todo waldner

[PrinceArt77]

waldner seems to lost the flame down the stretch....anyways....Waldner is still the Best ever.....

[Beeray11]

video not working



[polskagranica]

wow jan miss this game ;/

[PingMast]

ma lin's cho voice is still very TEEN....haha...teenagers voice....miss that voice...XD

[almuneitor]

partidazo para el recuerdo !!!!

[jperssonisthebest]

I love to see waldner loose

[badcompany2984]

Ma Lin- a star was born.

[pbsmick]

best ace i have ever seen at 4:14 

[pradaojat]

@pbsmick same ace he made 2 years before at Samsonov, in the WTTC 1997 Final.

[tallman862713]

@pbsmick liu guoliang had an ace like that before losing to waldner...why so sick is liu guoliang is a penholder and he served with the back side of the paddle...that is the best ace i have ever seen...

[MrSondell99]

@pbsmick Haha, Ma lin was not even close! :P

[Borowski85]

Where was the point, when Ma Lin overruled the Umpire und gave the point to Waldner?

Thx!

P.S. The old times, with small ball, speed glueing and sets til 21!:D



[jsjw2]

@Borowski85 blade, rubber, and glue maker sure love today way more^_^

[cukka99]

@Borowski85 And the old times also when you were allowed to hide the ball during serve.

[marioehw]

@Borowski85 it was made cause the ball was on the border and for them and all table tennis players they apologize cause it was an unfair point and in this cas Ma Lin wanted to give that point to waldner, that´s a good sport spirit :D!!!

[stereofil]

Waldner has always been this way when he feels like it he would crush anyone but sometimes he just looks lazy and uninterested like in the third set here.

[Sbcyp]

i like the comments ;)

[tristanjacquel]

What's the point being a genious 2 sets long and then play like training session in the 3rd set, ruining easy points ? Waldner should have killed that match 3-0. But Ma did the job. With class too.

[novemberschopin]

all these years and ma lin still doesn't have a WTTC title, I truly hope he gets it in 2011 and get his grand slam

[srivatsavt]

@novemberschopin he would've if he either got the 1999 or the 2007 one

[NexxtGen]

damn ma lin was like 19 or something here

[jonathanou1]

ma lin when he was skinny

[PreppyPoser1]

lol waldner loses haha
