Asia vs. Europe 2010: Joo Se Hyuk - Jorgen Persson 

Persson the evergreen... his forehand loop is so consistent.

I´m really impressed by Persson. He played a perfect game. I know he was always very strong against defense. Very consistent, but that´s not all. I think his placement is incredible, leaving Joo no chance to attack. Great topspins, short balls, very flat, extreme ancles... This match is a lecture how to play a perfect game against defenders.

Jorgen persson is a legend.

WOW! Persson is getting old, but you can't tell by the way he plays. Some legends will never die!!!

so crazy... first round(13/4) europe won 4:1,,, second round (15/4) asia won 4:1.... ==> overall 10:10 final single match with players picked by drawing... mizutani jun won 11:10.. epic comeback.... ovtcharov should hv won against yangzi today.... =.=.... thx for sharing man

Jorgen Persson was a big hero 2000 when he managed to beat both number 1 and 2 of china in the team event

jajaja nothing like old school players, i think Schlager was thinking how can Persson beat Joo in that way anyway amazing match :D!

It is very interesting, Joo is among the toppest player in the world. But Persson still maintains his excellent skill playing against defensive player.

@DKPOWA That defender is ITTF World Rank No.9 now, and he attacks when it possible no less terrific than other great attackers.

nice match. Keep going on Jorgen and train hard !

Great match ! persson is the best !

2010 and persson's still getting off. gotta love old school players

woah waldner aint playing but jorgen is?

@Sasotzu: maybe one of the best against defensive choppers ;-)

Can someone put into words what Persson's strategy was and why he won that? Is it just because he's consistent?

@rickdudesterman The strategy spells patience… it’s absolutely crucial when you’re playing def specialists. And… remember what spin you did, because you’ll get it back twice as hard and reversed. And Jörgen does everything right in this match. I wonder if people understand how devilish difficult it must be to play against Joo Se Hyuk…? He’s not just a def specialist, he has excellent offensive too!

@blitzpcs No...not really... If that was true, then we'd have quite a bit of old people in the top 20 and not so many young guys dominating...

@Tobiasdaneels LOL HAHAHA my bad, im actually a math&phys major LOL

Persson still has the power, at least against a defender :P If it were against an attacker or blocker, maybe he couldnt keep up with the rhythm

1:41 Schlagerrrrrrrrrr!!!!

jorgen is still the best! ;)

ahah 3:10 Hey Persson,you can't do it,only Joo can!! :)

yaaaaaas Persson!(L)

who won asia or europe????

Is that Liu Guoliang commenting during the first few minutes? Sounds like his voice but I don't speak Chinese

@perniciousnc : Overall: 5-5. I really hope you will never be my umpire. :)

I don`t understand what`s going on with Joo?? He won 4:1 against Boll and 3:2 against Schlager, but lost 1:3 to Persson (who`s over 40 years old now)

its not persson doesnt know how old he is...its he doesnt know how to :p

it is because joo's not performing nowadays...

My coach says that my forehand stroke is not correct. And I told him, "Watch Persson plays, it's not really the stroking that matters much. It's how you feel for the ball and hit it everytime." And then he suddenly became quite. :)

joo se hjuk never win :/
