Entertaining to watch, but both playing styles are out of fashion today (Douglas blocking the ball close to the table and Appelgren playing with a lot of topspin from half distance). I watched Appelgren playing against Lindh in the Olympic qualification in Uppsala in 1992 and already then he had changed his style a lot (playing a lot closer to the table).

Douglas was really great!! I can see where Waldner got some of his technique from.
