2009 Japan Open : Jun Mizutani vs Alexi Smirnov

[DeutscheBankAkte]

It´s also very nice to drink Smirnov....

[ingullar]

Смирнов по-моему никогда от своих школярских ошибок не избавится.

[888886611]

how old is Smirnov? he is a good player but it's really hard to find videos.

[TaciTiciBoy]

smirnoffs backhand technique seems really straight and kinda perfect to me

[skeptiker1337]

With this referee-colours, Smirnov looks a bit like Herbert Pfandel from behind.

[EdMajinLee199999]

1:10 sick nasty service. i would've popped that back and gotten slammed on

[jayjaymatt]

i think if you were taching someone a `by-the-book` technique you would teach them smirnovs

[skeptiker1337]

@jayjaymatt true.

[Compantino]

Smirnov's technique is one of the best, even better than many top 10 players'.

[drusha1]

толи тактика толи стратегия... вообще выглядело все не плохо тока много странных ляпов. надо серьезней чуток играть

[vanbanh]

Smirnov has fantastic angles on his loops and smashes, very good player!

[ttCrawsaive]

I love Smirnovs playing style!

[NexxtGen]

excellent technique, but unfortunatly no tactix

[MDSguy]

smirnov sounds like a wookee! XD

[Weinkumii]

thahah agree

[lreporter]

@MDSguy what is wookee ??

[wttpcom]

mizutani alsmost never attacks short balls.

[donvitcor]

1:26 and 2 :32 is exactly the same point lol

[mikeirvng]

Jun is too much on the defensive especially on Alexei's serve.

[PuroEuroForums]

He has the nastiest serve ever and uses it all the time. However, he almost always puts that serve in the same spot, I want to serve like Smirnov but Timo Boll's style of serving is much easier and consistent for me. I don't know how he is so consistent with that nasty serve, look at the racket angle jun has to pick that shit up

[BollTimo]

In Russia, I think Samsonov is also going to that club where Smirnov is playing

[Todeskandidat]

Yes, his world rainking is 46, but you gotta know it was 11 in 2003!

[wabigor]

where does Smirnov play at the moment ?

[BollTimo]

I also do that serve, but to do it as good as him is nearly impossible. topspin or backspin, you can't see it

[PuroEuroForums]

and look where the ball lands each time he does that serve, it is crazy.

[BollTimo]

He's not slow. He has very very good technics but he hasn't got a suprise in his game. Also he is too inconsistent, sometimes he loses to bad players ( for him )

[bartek4443]

he also has an amazing serve, i had to practice it for almost 3 months to finally get it.

[nguyenna]

His backhand is so fluid. It's amazing!

[tynenkrol]

He has a nice technique , but he is a bit slow and his world ranking is 46 , that´s not very good:P

[bigduven]

0:40

lol that sound different

[kaikaz]

I would so like to see more videos of smirnov, I think he has one of the best techniques of topspins of the european players.

[TableTennisTT]

Yeah me too, but it hard to find videos when he play.

[domimakekus]
