Deux stratèges de génie et un virtuose de l'économie du geste qui pourtant génère des effets tels que même le grand, l'immense Samsonov à du mal à bloquer. Vladi du mal à bloquer, c'est iréel et légendaire comme touché ce que Werner Schlager produit. Mon idéal absolut.
Schalger showed why he is one of the best, he has all the strokes (even though some are kinf of unorthodox) , the serves, and the actitude, even though I think his happy/choo poses were a little bit extreme xD
When you watch Samsonov`s Manchester`97 vids you see than Vladi had tremendous power on forehand. That was 38mm ball, of course. But before the ban even with 40mm his counterloop was deadly. Now they block it with ease, it poses no threat.
There are so many players who struggle against schlager. And now I see why, his serves are a set up for his big topspins, and his strokes are emaqulate. 5* : D
@taufoofar You cant tell where it is going until the moment the ball leaves his bat.. that makes his backhand so powerful, together with power and accuracy.
yeah I find that really weird that samsonov isn't doing better after the glue ban. I mean his game isn't about power but about technique. So I always assumed that he would do a lot better after the ban.
superb match. it's true that the glue ban has killed samsonovs game. both have quite similar playing styles but schlager is just that bit smarter than samsonov. that's why he won. great match 5 stars
Looks like he's got a new blade (see 6:29), it's not his old "Mazunov OFF+" with handle of "Samsonov Alpha". But it doesn't make things better for him. His topspin lost its power. The glue-ban killed his play, IMHO
The best things is that Schlager and Samsonov have a lot of respect each other. Table tennis is a gentlemen sport, and I don't found this state of mind in the chinese behaviour.
+ingullar В мою бытность профессиональной игры таких называли безумный любитель , относительно ног и вообще движений логики нет - это сумасшедший наигрыш . шлягера легко можно обыграть игрой в центр стола (огрехи движений рук ног будет наибольшими) , Самсонов же пытался раскидывать право лево .
