Kalinikos Kreanga vs Werner Schlager[ECL 2010/2011] 

very nice audience one like this should be everywhere in Europe to make this incredible sport more public !

theyre styles are legendary :)

great game between the 2 european legends :)

Two great champions !!

Great game, thanks for sharing. Schalager played incredible but kalinikos was on fire xD

When they are counterspinning... Their technique really can't be more different haha. What a match, great sportsmans both of them.

Most epic table tennis match ever!

The service at 6.03 is an underspin action with some sidespin added at the last moment. Kreanga pushed what he thought was underspin but the added sidespin made the ball jump up and very slightly to the right. Schlager uses a high throw serve and uses underspin with varied amounts of sidespin which is difficult to read. The high throw makes it more Spinny and more difficult to read. Schlager gets a lot of errors and easy third ball attacks off this serve.

Repeat of the recent Top 12. Very nice game.

ITTF should not have banned speed glue.

sidespin with tospspin. it is difficult to observe it but if you watch it many times you will is it a sidetospin service

2021 anyone?

Superb backhand by Kreanga at 7:48 ...

7:55 that backhand

kalinikos is a true fighter

Amazing match!!! I loved it.

I had the exact same thought. It must be topspin to have reacted off Kreanga's bat like that. He just held out his paddle and it kicked off. The ball also continues to zip forward after it hits the ground..

Merci

7:20, the famed Weixing pants-lift, as performed by Kreanga

Thanks bro!! Very nice/interesting match!!

Awesome maaaaaatch ! thanks a lot bro as usual :)

Great game. I´m wondering what happened at 6:03. Was this an upspin-serve? What happened to the ball when Kreanga got contact with it, it clearly must have been an upspin-serve. But looking at Schlagers movement about 10 times it absolutely looks like cut. And Kreangas face after this ball is like "What the hell was that?". I know Schlager is one of the best servers in the world. Can someone tell: Was this upspin at 6:03 and when yes - how?

sick backhand at 5:17

Brain vs. Beast. Beast wins

クレアンガやっぱり人気すげぇな❗

i m little tired of watching these 2 old men playing table tennis. though they re both legends they are old enough now to quit. how can it happen that in tennis you are nothing if you are over 35 and in table tennis you can win an olympic medal when 40 with a belly like my uncle who drinks a lot of beers. i look forward to seeing more young stars rising in europe like it happens in china.

I disagree the service is with ton of lift as when Kreanga want to slice (not lift) it the ball pop up ! Very hard to see the efffect for the opponent !

insane backhand

kreanga with the backhand acrobat thingy

Kreangas backhand at 10-10 in the 5th

It's not a backspin serve at all. It' a pure sidespin and when Kreanga cuts it, it pops up. I do that serve (of course, a lot worse) and i learnt it imitating Schlager's

@all please share this video....cauz its awsooome!!!!!

The current matches seem very monotonous as compared to these matches.

Such a lucky Kreanga ..!

damn i so sorry for Shlager.. he is more smarter player that Kreanga!!! anyway greate game from Both!!
