It never ceases to amaze me how he makes Timo Boll look like an amateur in that first point. Not only is Waldner not bothered by his attacks but he uses them against him! Wish we had such smart and unique plays like this nowadays!

Timo became so good because he grew up playing against the master of placement. :) Just watching these games, I can feel how hard it is to play against him. He puts the ball where you least expect or want it. And the longer the ball lasts, the deeper the hole you end up with, running back and forth while he is just standing there. Must have been annoying to play agaist him. Anyone can become really good with enough practice. But this man has a rare talent for this sport.

Look at all these poor dudes, struggling like there's no tomorrow. And Waldners just like: whatever…

A well practised man can only play like him so simply and effortlessly. I remember Roger's quote here when somebody asked him how he plays with such simplicity and effortlessness.

I first played competitively during a time when he was the king of TT, and I am so glad for it.

Penso que esse jogador talvez seja o mais sangue frio que já existiu jogando tênis de mesa , ele respondia uma cortada simplesmente andando e devolvendo longe do seu adversário , incrível!

Jan Ove Waldner was so chill😎

2.00 That block to timo boll was hillarious! :D He made timo boll look like a beginner. Jan ove Waldner you legend!

I love the way he plays. Places the ball where ever he wants. Plays with his opponent. Will watch other players and make a comparison about styles to see the differences.

This is pretty much the goal of all racket sports. Get your opponent running while you stand in the center and control the game. After a while, you not only have the psychological advantage but the physiological as well. When you're opponent is fatigued you still have plenty of energy to make the better decisions. Even though I was competing in martial arts growing up, J-O was still my biggest idol. A true 🐐

I am german and Boll is an amazing player himself but it's hilarious how frustrated he is getting beat by those blocks.

King of tabletennis!

The way he changes the spin is just great to watch .. !

He relies on strategy than force.That's why he was able to beat 3 generations of Chinese players and played till his 40s.The last short is the best example. Hyu also had a powerful forehand.
