This match is an instant classic. It was an absolute thriller, kept me glued to the screen for the whole hour these two amazing players battled. Boll was on point, he had an absolutely amazing tournament. Think about how many top players he has beaten recently.

Awesome match! Really the highest level Timo has shown...at the age of 43 He is still able to play at that international worldclass level! Much respect to both opponents 🎉

Liang Junglun showed his respect to Timo after the match ❤

Timo is the SOUL of this Sport ❤ The kindness at the end of his matches, shows that clearly i.m.o. 👏🏼

and how did you know that it's fake though!!

This match should guarantee Boll the singles spot at Olympics. He is by far the best player from Germany this year and he was the european player most able to play the chinese by far. Extraordinary what he showed here.

of all the chinese players , LJK seems the mentally most robust player. Awesome how he handled the pressure here and before that round. Hats off!

Congrats to Liang. Timo is just out of this world ...

Absolut hochklassiges Spiel: Was Timo hier gezeigt hat, in Singapur, ist überragend. Liang Jingkun hat mit seiner Geste am Ende und im Interview danach alles gesagt, was es zu sagen gibt.

Triple A. Amazing match. Amazing players and Amazing commentating!

Timo, what a frikking legend! Rosskopf & Prause really have to make difficult decisions who to take to the Olympics...

Timo is back even though he lost. I am so glad to see that.

What a classic this will be. With Timo Boll you never say "last dance" but 2024 is feeling like it. And he's incredible. Props to LJK, I really like him too. And Wang Hao is looking like the biggest hater of 2024, I LOVE IT

Seems Timo ran a bit out of gas in the end. Still if he doesn't get injured, Germany should definitely call him up for the Olympics. In this form he seems to be the strongest player outside of China.

Yep, him, Yun-Ju and Harimoto seem to be the three most capable of being competitive. I thought some other Europeans might rise up 2024 but Felix Lebrun isnt quite there yet, Jorgic stopped developing and Truls imo will never be competitive vs the chinese as he is not working on his weaknesses. Ovtcharov is on a downword trajectory and has lost a lot of his speed and ballhandling. If they dont select Boll it would be a huge mistake. Imo Boll and Qiu will be selected for singles. Maybe Ovtcharov/Franziska for double to soften the blow.

​@@listrahtes Well, Patrick is quite good too. He outplayed Ma Long, defeated Dima and actually played very well. With Timo, in his condition, we can never say what shape he will be in specific tournaments. He lacks stability, because of age. And taking him to Olympics would be risky. Maybe he will be able to show great performance (and will have enough energy for such a long tournament), maybe not. Franz is not showing magic like Timo does, but he is pretty much more stable and predictable in terms of how good he will be during the tournament

@@hawnt2r Agree but imo you can't leave the only player at home consistently able to defeat Top10 players. Regarding that Timo is consistent this year and him vs Jingkun showed that outside of WCQ he can compete with anyone. I love Franziskas playstyle but he very rarely keeps form through a tournament. If Timo is fit at Olympics he imo is a much higher chance of getting deeper into the tournament. But yes best would be Franz,Boll and Qiu. I do think it will be Franz/ Ovtcharov in doubles as they are a great team together and that way all 4 top players out of Germany are at the Olympics.

Liang would be exhausted after this match, which might affect his performance in tomorrow's semifinals against Lin Yun-Ju.

Timo should have won. But unfortunately he came into the 'decider' in a wrong way.

Liang should replace Ma Long in the Olympic team roster

You would be amazed by the crying old baby cheater's crying/cheating skills. He literally cried to the umpire complaining about audience walking around the venue (48:35), trying to disturb the match for his opponent. The cheater was also warned by the umpire for his illegal serves at the very beginning of the match (1:15). BTW: the cheater also tried to steal a point with so-called "net ball" during this match (25:05).
