[TheFlyingHorse1]

Wow! How amazing!

[theo22400]

Tu est fort adrien

[Donicglad]

Hi to all, J.O Walnder seems he didn't play for this European Championship 2011???

[MrOmerPap]

this is the secret of timo boll... CONSISTENCE in the entire match

[cuninou]

It is not that the forehand of Mattenet is particularly weak, in a nutshell, it is a weak forehand against the best players in the world. Nonetheless, he should work hard out on his forehand to be a threat against the top10.

[CNAS0]

There's a large gap between Timo Boll and all the other players in Europe

[Deobfuscator]

A hell of a comeback in both 3rd and 4th set for Timo. If only Mattenet had a FH...

[ikaros21]

adrien needs to improve his forehand and receive againts leftys pendulum inside out service lol

[SaymonZic]

Boll is magic...

[gwenkuf]

Mattenet is not going to beat Timo if he doesn't stay close to the table.

[rosun82]

@gwenkuf Maybe he thinks that he is as powerful as Zhang Jike....

[phaikia13]

Let's see, how many people outside of China can beat Timo Boll consistently? Hmm... honestly... not more than a handful.

[lumm71]

This was an important lesson for Mattenet. He should give thanks to Timo.

[Flokib]

lol @ 3:32. Boll looks like a Figure of a Superheroe, like Captain Amerika or something. Very heroic :-)

[DonAntonio91]

@Flokib Hahaha xD you are wright!

[llrokot0ll]

beautiful match by Timo.. Adrien is one of my favorite players but i gotta give this to Timo... experiences says it all.. =D

[tanxu]

timo!! Clearly Euro's #1

[88keyboard]

Adrien forehand is not effective against timo =\

[GuyGermaine]

5:01 watch Mattenets Coach in the background: Did he really think Boll would miss this backhand? :D

[SanJyuuKyuu]

I have rarely seen such an aggressiveness from Boll ! <3

[Bossiiiii]

Adrien Mattenet tends to collapse at critical moments

[Dejan3111]

Wow Timo is amazing...from 3-9 to 10-10...what a player! :)

[BennDuong]

1:41 Mattenet's signature backhand against Boll's signature forehand

[Opalance]

ttcountanance, please dont spam tags in your stuff, it's misleading, just put the people and the event and table tennis please.

[TTPAT25]

Its a typical french mistake to think the set is won by leading 9-3!! And Mattenet begun to defend a few balls in spite of keeping to put pression on Timo. And its enough for Boll to get back. But its not a problem, because Adrien has not the means to beat Timo for the moment, even if he had won the 4th set.

[IseeYouNewb]

@TTPAT25 Why is it a "typical French mistake"? That makes no sense you ... 

[EdMajinLee199999]

Timo sees Mattenet's beautiful backhand but it doesn't throw him off one bit.

[brenktt]

Timo so agresive on the backhand side, that could be very important thing mainly aganist Chinese.

[12345666915]

When i saw timo boll i thought. ''Wow, Boll, Nice!'' but when i saw that was with mattenet i thought ''Oh no, i really wanted him to win a medal!'' LOL

[taoufik82]

Pity Mattenet couldn't win one of the first two sets, he could've put pressure on Boll. But when Timo plays so well with his backhand, he's really unstoppable... His summer in China seems to have paid off and he seems to be very sharp and determined.

[sallom899]

Sick match!

[LightSpeed99999]

0:49 - Drop shot #1.

1:19 - Edge into the crotch. YES!!!!

2:50 - Boll's smiling lol.

3:41 - Drop shot #2.

4:04 - The beginning of the end, a comeback, and drop shot #3.

After such a great string of matches, a certain player shouldn't have been so passive. (That should please the people who don't like spoilers lol.)

[SSJ5VegetaV4]

Wow

[LightSpeed99999]

@SSJ5VegetaV4 I agree.
