European Championships: Timo Boll-Jorgen Persson

[lasomodako]

JP, my new idol... I draw inspiration from him because I am a 38 year old player and just falling in love with the game. Watching him play at such an age gives me the boost and confidence.

[TheFlyingHorse1]

Timo Boll is the best table tennis player in the world! He is just awesome, and I love him! :) Jörgen Persson is a great player, too!

[lasomodako]

I love watching JP's game. Simply amazing! Nobody in the world can beat him at 40 above age bracket.

[HWolfeIII]

Persson is my all time favorite, I always buy his racquets! Timo is great too!

[sharkl11]

Id rather see them go best out of 5 21 pts

[Jasonsadventures]

Persson wasn't far behind Waldner overall back in the day, given that he's still playing and still playing so well he's going to end up as the all time European great

[brycegmail]

I like Persson 's loose grip !!

[SuperStonerocker]

For a man born in 1967, it's great to see a man born in april 1966 play this good in 2011. I guess that something like this went through Boll's head during the match: I can't loose to a 45 year old. I can't loose to a 45 year old. I can't loose to a 45 year old. I can't loose to a 45 year old. Puh, I didn't loose to a 45 year old :-)

[fractalheadache]

@SuperStonerocker I can't lose either......

[samheng29]

Persson is unbelievable at this age..,

[chrizgoo]

Nice to see Persson is still up there! amazing

[urutoraseven]

Aren't Boll serves illegal? Can the palm of his hand be over the table?

[TableTennisMaster]

Good match!

[marioehw]

jaja timo wouldn´t be anything if persson were 30 years old :D!!

[abedec5]

the one who didn`t like this video was Jorgen Persson ;)

thank you ttC !

[albionx64]

yes mens team it was yesterday i was saw them in real , sorry but my english isnt a good i am from Poland ;p

[goptty]

is this the final .....??

[SugiCx]

I didnt even know that persson is that good.

Can´t imagine how he was playing 20-30 years ago.

[LookB3hindU]

@SugiCx honestly he played this well back then, but with the different ball and with a slightly faster step. Truly Persson has really stayed at the same level he was back in his day which is quite impressive.

[lenrokik1]

i have insufficiency after this.It should't end so fast, bit younger persson can crash timo easly

[broodingdark]

Damn, Persson is still so awesome...

[rcmontecalvo]

persson!! good game

[LightSpeed99999]

Both players won: Boll won the match and Persson won respect points.....tons of them.

[choutoun]

1:42 and Timo started to play, match over

[staysher4312]

Persson Da Masta!!

[stalvio007]

Persson is Greate!

[johnbozi]

the legends never let you down -

[druidzown]

This is the most elegant angle I've ever watched a table tennis match in. Great upload, thanks.

[TheKarub1]

oh my god persson still beast !!!!!!!

[Bossiiiii]

asian players should be allowed to play in Eruo Championship

[Opalance]

@Bossiiiii Dumbest comment ever.

[LookB3hindU]

@Bossiiiii They do quite a lot if I'm not mistaken. I've seen many asian women who are citizens of Euro countries. And if I'm not mistaken there are plenty of asian men as well.

[BennDuong]

Love the point at 1:46

[kelvinstiga1998]

it was a very long time i seen persson play so good like this!

[Em4982]

@kelvinstiga1998 u've never seen china play have u?

[LookB3hindU]

@Em4982 I'm sure he has, but he referring to persson wasn't he?

[Em4982]

@LookB3hindU ........ i thought he misspelt person lol

[ImprovinMyGame]

Timo is certainly Europe's No. 1 these days, but there's something special about the last generation of European players. Persson was one of the few who could truly compete against and stand beside the great JO Waldner. Doing so well at this age, is there any doubt Persson is one of table tennis' greatest Legends?

[0o0jf0o0]

this is unbelievably efficient work!! we can count on you, @ttCountenance !!

[Kinamoe123]

Great game!

[Tubogapo]

@Kinamoe123 Agree, love watching Perrson's returning all those unbelievable shots

[pprruti]

Nice Timo, very good Persson.

[NexxtGen]

What an amazing talent Persson is and will be... a real legend

[lumm71]

Persson is still nice to watch. What balls he reaches with 45 years is unbelievable. Boll had to give his best.

[Ashm00r]

How can you not love Persson, great display of skill, such beautiful strokes, such elegance. Thumbs up!

[clalalalalalive]

old man still has it, despite the loss.

[padiltimo]

persson is no 1player in sweden at the moment..

[perniciousnc]

timo needs strength really.

thanks for sharing

[DKPOWA]

Old Man Persson surely scared TB, he hasnt been playing all these years for nothing :P

[DuchDoby]

Legend of Jorgen Persson still playing world class table-tennis. RESPEKT!

[supermasilla]

Persson still rocks at 45 y-o. Im sure that he would beat Timo if both had the same age.

[rosun82]

It just shows how amazing and how much ahead of time the golden generation is

[Chowqiao]

Persson is simply amazing! He stays competitive at such an age!

[xedvux]

@Chowqiao

Persson's style of play is so smooth with his great technique. Hence, the longevity in his game.

[fly931001]

@Chowqiao the older you get, the more competitive experience u get. however your reflex speed declines as can be seen i the vid
