English Open: Timo Boll-Seiya Kishikawa

[ansonyeung825]

TIMO OUT!

[TheKarub1]

is this really 360 p ? damn

[Playster3]

I always wonder, how the heck can they play so fast? It's freakin' impossible!

[FILIPeeeK]

BOLL THE FIGHTER!!! gg

[MrBrunojedi]

go Timo

[728martini]

good video, very good quality, good head to head match.

[haraldsenb]

wow.. great match by both players! 

[FlameJohn]

Kishikawa Seiya's skills were evident even when I started going to YouTube (2005-6). There are great Seiya fans back then posting videos of him playing many players. Now he can beat Boll, not very surprising.

[ATOUHARA44]

SAINT Seiya...

[tabletennistricks]

timo boll was playing better in the first set

[Chellios911]

hozám képes kulyák

[jSlipkNoTj]

8:26 looks the face of timo BOLL, the best sportsmanship i EVER SEEN!!!

[ttmaster10]

@jSlipkNoTj think you mean 8:24 and also if you haven't already SUBSCIBE not to me though to ttCountenence for alway bringing great quality videos he deserves more subs

[jSlipkNoTj]

@ttmaster10 i will man ty...

[incompetentes]

LOOOOL tIMO lose with this noob... I don¡t understand ^^ '

[GeneralSpecific3]

@incompetentes I doubt you can beat one of the best players in Japan

[diskfrisker]

best smile at 5:40

[bsjunior]

wicked.

[hellyeah22]

great point 1:33

[Danny301050]

Hahahaha Lieblingsballwechsel ab 8:08 =D Zwei Netzroller von Timo hahahahahaha

[Andrew2a1]

За эту встречу Болл допустил столько косяков (особенно ребром ракетки) сколько не делал, наверное за весь год.

[str3123]

5:40 - anyone noticed the t-shirt with the "anal" logo?

[haydonlee93]

seiya has the ugliest style look at him smash and it seems for his backhand he only uses his arm no legs or torso

[koko51515]

Seiya Kishikawa is really getting better and better. His good defensive back hand works great for the top rank attackers like Ma long and Timo Boll.

[padiltimo]

"they are good but i am better" haha,u must be ma lin, wang hao or malong..hahhahaha

[StreetPerforming]

kishikawa has got a suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper backhand　！！！

[newjustice1212]

timo would pwn forest gump

[OrigamiCake]

They are good. But I am better.

[jesus10019]

Really good game, Timo should have really won on paper but Kishikawa played better as the game progressed. A very good match with great quality!

Thanks ttCounterance!

[maxclews]

i hate to see the better player move

[maxclews]

@maxclews lose*

[MrAnimeKill]

I think timo boll played very good I mean the Chinese have problems with him...

[tedbratton]

boll loses to oh often, and lost to kishikawa here, yet has no problems with samsonov? strange

[Lorenzcraft]

you can see that timo boll is changing the grip. that could be not so good, but he can better play if he changes.

[ixxbazxxi]

The Japanese people where so annoying shouting out after every point kishikawa won!

[tedbratton]

good shit

[PingMast]

timo is very good in moving backhand loop...XD

[ohaRega]

sounds like timo is saying

"WHATS UP?"

after the won points..

lol

[DiaboloJuggler]

"Heast was is los" oder " Oida was is los???"

[ttCrawsaive]

Timo always keeps displaying good sportmanship, clap clap!

[eeliran]

That was ultimate match thank you ttCountenance.!!

[Violinist0222]

Very Heartbroken ! timooo :(

[Re1Mu2R3]

Goddamn this Fat-ass has a devastating backhand! Currently No. 29.

A really good player IMO but if he doesn't lose the weight he's gonna be known more for his size than for his playing...

[DiaboloJuggler]

@ Re1Mu2R3

Who cares how fat he is???

the thing is that he was stronger than Boll at this time !

[bastian92]

I think Kishikawa is playing so well because of the japanese girls' cheering :-D

5:34

[otterboxiphone]

I can see his raccoon eyes. You know what I mean?

[yungtris77]

i dont believe it...gr8 match tho.

[12453798]

thank you ttCountenance!

[zpdsf01]

awesome match

[stevenjiii]

I feel like they are playing in slow motion after watching Ma Long vs Xu Xin in 2010 Pro Tour. :x

[otterboxiphone]

Jap players only block or lob... reason why it's so slow.

[Izraphel]

@stevenjiii, neither of these players use speed as their main weapon. so although ma long and xu xin really are better than these two it's not just the level, it's also the style.

[BloodFeather]

@stevenjiii Boll's better n xu xin tho.

[luisedu360]

@stevenjiii that's because their style of play is based on spin, not speed... that doesn't mean is worst or any thing, just another style :P

[stevenjiii]

I'm not hating on the style, I'm just pointing out that Ma Long vs Xu Xin is way faster

[RA07010]

!!!!!!!!

[kitmo123456789]

Kishikawa serves are very well!!!!

[remitopcat]

timo boll es increible....el mejor jugador del mundo junto con ma long claro......

seiya es muy bueno tambien y creo que tiene un juego incomodo que se le complica un poco a timo.....fuen un gran match.....lo volvere a ver

[DatSuKid]

Kishikawa woke up on this day feeling very very good. :)

[Stuffcakes]

@DatSuKid

or hes just a really good player.

[TheNavaweed]

seiya kishikawa is awesome

[glans32]

i love timo boll^^

[paulom8]

I love Timo Boll too

[tlkx1]

How old is Seiya Kishikawa?

[LeonieII]

He is 19. He is playing a great season in Germany.

[zokumeian]

He was born on May 21, 1987.

[LeonieII]

Oh yes, you´re right. This makes him 22 and not 19. ;-)

[kazesini]

@tlkx1 seiya kisikawa is 22 years old in 2009．

[staralphaftw]

LOL at serve 9 :15 LOVED IT

[theKINGroby1]

nice qaliti

[marczzz10]

ich denke kishikawa wir mal zu den paar spielern auf der welt gehören die die chinesen schlagen können... das training in düsseldorf tut ihm gut!!

gutes vid. 5*

[804tt]

2:36

Kishikawa smiles, haha.

[shivuu901901]

d best part

when timo realy needs a point whn he is 8 3 down n he does d backhand serve n just kills

[ivanyanzi]

nice nice match ..thanks for upload

[otterboxiphone]

Chill out, you guys freak out on a rare event that a third class player defeated a first class player. Big deal? Just rare occurence.

[SupaFlyTNTRocknRolla]

These are the games that make your heart pump and put a gripping tension in your arms and legs. These points make you jump up and fist pump after a big rally and give you goosebumps after a terrific save. Remember Michael Maze vs Hao Shui or Kenta vs Ma Lin any game like that...THIS IS WHY WE FIGHT!

[GeneralSpecific3]

Timo did a backhand serve towards the end at 9:13, I don't think I've seen him do that before

[DenniZ85]

@GeneralSpecific3

Qatar Open: Timo Boll - Ma Lin at 5:09 min. Timo did a backhand serve, too :)

[GeneralSpecific3]

ha good eye he kind of snuck that one in there

[NotALlama86]

Kishikawa has some ugly technique in his forehand and backhand. Still he beat a legend. Maybe another non-chinese top 10 coming soon? Awesome match

[xinoseiji07]

thx men :D!

[schafflos]

Kishikawa is a realy strong player. Now he is in the same team ( Borussia Düsseldorf ).

[vanbanh]

Kishikawa owns!

[TTvirusPremium]

kishikawa played amazing, and great quality, thanks ttcountenance

[ponchato]

Where could I see ratings, event results, etc. for table tennis? I'm starting to get very interested in this sport.

[sallom899]

ITTF(dot)com

[saying68]

Boll had trouble with this guy during the Olympics

[PingMast]

jun would be better than this japanese guy~~his attacks is slow~~

[otterboxiphone]

This guy is 3rd class player.

[YBFlash]

You mean Timo Boll? :)

If he 3rd class player he couldnt take more than 3-5 points against Timo...

[otterboxiphone]

Timo is first class player.

[darthpeter89]

@otterboxiphone 3rd class player Timo!!?? You cannot be serious! :)

[shockWOP]

timo with a BH  service ?

[88keyboard]

9.14 first time timo seve BH and the combination is very good!

[88keyboard]

8.16 timo boll...Oh god it is mine!!! ........ timo left hand side seems to be very weak and seiya exploit this weekness with putting long edge ball to the left hand side

[yemail5555]

???Boll lost??? What's da hack.

[TheGreve]

Lol, this wasn't really expected.

[Herold008]

Wht is that mean :LOL ?

[CLIFINHO10]

good for kishiwata but timo deserved to win just in the last game look at how many balls he lost by edge of his padle... bad luck timo keep going because you are the best!

[vieti1995]

thx your are the best this is my favrouite timo boll !! 5*

[vieti1995]

my favroute timo boll, but has lost ;(

[kostassalamina4ever]

i don't believe it......timo boll lose..... :S

[AndreaTurano93]

u greek? :D

[Takkyuzuki]

LOL

[iakovka]

Unbelievable.

Boll played 45%

[UsakoKirei]

i love timo boll's backhand-topspin :D

well done kishikawa 5*

[BeNnYrUsS2]

i remeber watching this game i was sat to the left i was shocked that my fav player got knocked out by him :S

[siteswaper531]

it seems that timo simply made too many unforced errors. and i agree he wasn't aggressive enough, particularly in the last set.

[Stuffcakes]

The problem was that Timo Boll cant play like Ma Lin and Ma long do: Hardhitting. Boll has no really fast ball in his arsenal. Kishikawa is a slow player, but he sure knows how to handle topspin balls, which is usually Timo Bolls weapon. Long story short if Timo Boll could play closer to the table and hit the balls harder, he would have won.

[mullywully01]

you say that and yet timo boll can beat all those players mentioned.....so he obviously does something right

[Stuffcakes]

Your logic is flawed.

I dont know if you ever played table tennis, but otherwise you would know that a player can be easy for one and hard for another to play against.

Timo Bolls power lies in keeping the ball in play with his athletic qualities and adding spin while he is doing it.

[devilcloudxxx]

When Timo service like this service 9:14 , that`s he is scared...xD

[duchomat]

Boll is a bit weak on backhand I think...

[OscarSkaugeE]

i agree with you duchomat, he should also stop doing the baloon, cause i rarely see him winning points he does the baloon

[AndreaTurano93]

what is the baloon??

[OscarSkaugeE]

the baloon is when like Timo shoots the ball high up in the air so kishikawa can smash, so he gets kinda defensive

[AndreaTurano93]

ok thanks :D so sometimes i play baloons if i want to enjoy the match ;)

[ZeRoBrain993]

what a gay backhand serve in the end :D

[mikeirvng]

it's effective

[ingtryb]

Timo is only 70 % of his best form -.-

[DJWorldDiss]

best match i´ve ever seen!!!!

[Cribleet]

Everyone in the top 100 is very closely skilled believe it or not

[SeanMcGibbon]

Cribleet, I disagree. Christian Suss will never beat Ma Long, or Samsonov, Or Liqin, or...

[hawkfish88]

as if he lost kishikawa not even top 50.

[ersguterjunge467]

its not timos best table tennis but very good

[LeonieII]

Damn, i hate to see Timo losing! ;-)

[ShikamaruIsChilling]

i cant see boll´s magic

[PsDani]

First of all, I've seen the whole match, which is about 80 mins long, so thanks to ttCountenance for cutting it up, keep on the great work!

Second, I like this match actually a lot. First time I have seen Boll use a backhand serve. And though Boll lost, it's really a great match with nice rallys!

[johnny89atc]

See the match against Timo and Ma Lin at Qatar Open final and you will see Timo serving with his backhand. He serves this way, when he doesn't have many chances to win the game...

[ttCrawsaive]

I enjoyed this soo hard xD

God gets wat he wants :p

5/5

[cain825]

wow, kishi won!!

[lolol801]

Damn.... this isn't Timo's year.. what happened?

[Mitha4]

i reckon eh?

[EnnesX]

injury

[lolol801]

injury from what?

[TimoBollFan09]

Timo Boll got knee injury and because of this problem he didn't play in WTTC 2009.

I think he still got some effect from injury.

[david93fcb]

reason for his withdraw at wttc were his back problems...the knee injury was a bit later and yeah you're right, he isn't in topform yet

[darthsophia123]

what is Fukuhara Ai gossiping there...she's doing extremely poor lately

[tanxu]

timo is missing alot then usual. i dont think he's 100% yet still

[johnny89atc]

Timo said that he played well in this match and he was ready. Kishikawa just played little better and he knows Timo's game, because they play in the same team at the German league...

[gotzki]

hey guyz i think timo change his blade to ALC!

what do you think ZLC to ALC series.

[kanoa2008]

it is simple, Seiya know Timo in  Borussia Dusseldurf, they are partners there

[jfeng1992]

ughh...are you kidding me?

[LinkyParky]

even professionals had there bad days and moments. they aren't godlike or something.

[scylla24]

man that sucks, I an't believe Boll lost to some tubby ass player with bad footwork and slow reaction time.

You could tell during the game Boll was getting frustrated because he knew he should be destroying a player like Seiya, yet wasn't

[lightmobile]

I knew Timo lost this, yet couldn't believe it would happen as I watched. Ridiculous.

I notice that Ma Lin crushed Kishikawa on second ball attacks where he just totally blows it by him repeatedly...Timo doesn't really have that aspect of his game.

[plot000000]

dude ma lin puts the craziest spins on his shots. there was no way he would lose to hishikawa. haha

sometimes players just find good matchups, where their style happens to play well against another player.

[804tt]

I think so, too.

but i would like to say commentators here, "You don't have to make excuse instead of Boll."

[Cheunges]

Siya does has good feeling... -.- but yeah Boll is a lot better.

[gotzki]

what happen to timo?

[takkyu101]

if you really think this had to do with boll playing badly or losing it, you clearly arent thinking clearly. Seiya was up 3-1 but lost it to 3-3, but then he really ran away with it. Seiya just outplayed boll, simple as that.

[Cheunges]

meaning boll.. loss meaning boll should've won. and why didn't him because he was playing badly.

[Pewpshmear]

wow... this is disappointing for boll. ma lin clobbered kishikawa without even putting in any effort...

[otterboxiphone]

You got to be kidding me? Timo lost to this guy? I can't believe.

[jusaca2]

wasaaaaaap timooooooo!

[dukeisaac]

nice game by both players...

[Cheunges]

YEAHH FK :(

[stevenjiii]

impossible omg

[theemuffinking007]

Man, Timo has lost his swagger a bit
