Lin Gaoyuan vs Vladimir Samsonov | 2020 ITTF Qatar Open Highlights (R32) 

Vladi is still so good. HeHe even defeated BATMAN!!! Lmao

where are the people that said Vladi should retire now?

44 years old beast!

Блин, ну наконец-то я снова увидел, как Владимир обыграл топового китайца! Браво, Володя!

Samsonov has the cleanest serve. The ball is always in full view, and his toss is so straight up and down.

the closer the Olympic Games, the better the condition of Vladi, give him this damn medal, he deserved like no other

VS: The current highest aged (around 44yrs) pro player with legendary consistency and top ranking. Threw back all the negative criticisms. A living legend.

Гордость нации, спасибо Владимир вам за мгновение счастья, ждём дальнейших побед! Вперёд Беларусь!)))

True living legend really... Hang out with generations of top Chinese players and beat some of them occasionally. never lost without putting up a good fight. Consider the environment he trains in and be this good, its really amazing.

Сейчас будут говорить , что Лин не в форме и все в этом духе. Не важно в какой форме Лин , важно то , что Самсонов в таком возрасте может побеждать топовых китайцев, играя с ними на равных. Браво Владимир, ты уже победил, даже если и не выиграешь следующий матч.

One of the greatest players of all time against the superfast - speedy young chinese generation !!! Notice : Expierence of playing, soft touch , unbelievable control , strategy against speed, spin , speed, spin ..... = 1-0 Well done Vladi you deserved it !!!!

Still one of the best! Vladi the legend Samsonov

Аж слеза навернулась, Владимир пример для подражания не только у стола, но и в жизни! Браво!

К Самсонову огромное уважение за двойную победу ( против молодых и уверенностью к победе в себе ) ! Желаю ему большого здоровья и дальнейших успехов в спорте . Такие немцам в беларуских лесах и скручивали головы без страха .

Age is just a number. Vladi❤

Лучший славянский теннисист все времен!

Funny how they don't shake hands but in 7th set they put their towels in opponent's basket after 5th point...

Bravo VLADIMIR !!! Fantastic game.

holy shit my favourite player winning a match again! wow I feel so happy right now. still gg's for both sides, really good match, was also pretty close after all

Vladi's defense is like a castle. The attack is like a cannon.

What a nail biting win for the veteran Samsonov! Well done and well deserved! With Chuang through to the next round, We are seeing a renaissance of veteran players.

Ну наконец-то дожал, молодец- волевая победа

Merci l'ITTF pour réaliser ces highlights pour voir tout un match en même pas 15minutes. Allez VLADIIIIIII

Владимир, молодец! Порадовал!!!!

Дядя Володя, как же хорошооооо!!))) Спасибо!

Congratulations for Vladi !!! One of the few who managed to beat the best Chinese players/ Wang Liqin, Ma Long , Chen Qi, Xu Xin if I'm not wrong/. One of my favorite players. Vladi forever:) Greetings from Poland:)

Самсонов красава! Очень порадовал!

Володя - МОЛОДЕЦ!!!!!!!!!! От онлайнера Привет!!!!!!

A legend who awakens in the Olympic year

A 43 ans, Samsonov est sensationnel! Il sort coup sur coup, AlexandreCassin, Chou Yu, puis Lin Gaoyuang qui a 23 ans, n'est rien que 4eme mondial! C'est tout simplement incroyable! En plus, ses mots d'encouragement pour l’équipe chinoise étaient très sympathiques. Bravo Vladi! Tu es en or massif!

love him or hate him,u have to respect him...legend

VS with his experience and he consistently attacking the forehand side really giving fruitful results.

When you are world number 4 and you forget that you are facing the most titled player in the world after ma long

Amazing finally Vladimir manages to beat someone in the top of the first quintet. His huge game, I was actually sure that in the decisive battle he would lose

A living LEGEND!!!

Still doing it. Legend

when you see 13 minutes against Chinese, it's must a good match

Ярчайшая Победа Владимира!!!БРАВО👌🧠💪🏼🏓

GENIUS PLAY! GO for GOLD Vladi, you deserve it....

Отлично Владимир, Отлично!Как будто подтянул игру и действует более активно , первым номер ,менее "топорно"!Браво

This made me very happy!!

brilliant performance by the "Ball Control General". One of the best matches i ever seen him play. He's like 43 years old right?

Невероятный Самсонов. Насколько всетаки умная и тонкая игра у него. Если он в форме, если не теряет концентрацию он просчитывает все. Играет, зная куда. Браво💪🌸🌸🌸

Unbelievable Samsonov congratulations💪👍

Vlad is the best. Live legend.

Vladi is my inspiration source, keep up with the good work

Самсонов красавчик!!!

So happy to see Samsonov beating LGY for the first time!

Vladi playing amazing. Poor LGY, it's how I feel like all the time playing against the old guys at the club. I'm running all over the place hitting as hard as I can, and these old guys are just standing there moving in slow motion, and yes, they are winning.

Браво, красивая победа!

This made my day. Other players should take a strategy lesson from him on how to play against the fast Chinese. His push return on serves is more effective than many of the banana flick crazy new gen players!

A physically fresh Vlady, and a good visibility court for those old eyes! He's something.

He's known in China as the Tai Chi Master, the one and only, Vladi Samsonov!

Cannot believe it...well done Samsonov!!! You played a fantastic game.

Легенда!!!

So very happy for the Gentleman of table tennis! He signed a Tibhar Samsonov paddle for me. My treasure 😍

THE LEGEND LIVES ON!!!!

After the first set I thought: Vladi, it's time to retire. But then woaaaah! 😍

Samsonov, what a legend!

Just unbelievable! The Vladi with 40+ years beats a machine. This kid hits so hard and fast and has everything to be a world champion and Vlad beats him...unbelievable

What a legend!

43 years old 👏🙌

Vladi still got it! :) Almost double his age. Great win for him and awesome to see he can still compete and win at the highest levels even with all the changes throughout the years, speed glue, no speed glue, big ball, even bigger poly ball...

Incredible. Old, good Vładek!

I don't understand what happened to Lin Gaoyuan, he played very badly, but I admire Samsonov that regardless of age he won

It seems to be insanely hard to run a working scoreboard throughout a single video.... Don't know if I've ever seen one in your videos Anyway, legendary game by samsonov! Very well played

Линь сыграл очень слабо, такого количества ошибок я у него и не припомню. Но это не отменяет заслуги Владимира, который провёл отличный матч! Красавец!

Владимир, по тактике переиграл . Из средней зоны несколько серий. И больше коротко под право скидывал, где Лин не успевал. Такое ощущение, Самсонов смотрит на игру с верней камеры и быстрее анализирует игру, хотя скорости и мощи не такие как и Лина.

15 years in top 10, my respect.

wow very well played samsonov! i didnt expect that after this first set..

Who wants samsonov to play for next 10 years?????? Please comment and like

Несколько причин победы Самсонова: 1. Влад, видимо, набрал форму и играет быстрее, чем, скажем, с Харимото в прошлый раз, а значит меньше отходит в среднюю/дальную зоны и имеет больше возможностей выиграть очко. 2. У него явно улучшилась игра справа из средней/ближней зон и он выиграл несколько важных переходных очков справа из ближней зоны, чего Лин, специально играющий Владу направо, не ожидал. 3. Лин сыграл слабее, чем обычно, допускал много невынужденных ошибок на своих мячах, может, не его день, а может, недооценил "ветерана":), а включить "3ю скорость" в решающей партии, как умел олимпийский чемпион перовик Ма Лин и умеет (когда в форме) Ма Лонг, в силу молодости и недостатка опыта не сумел. 4. Ну и, last but not list, если Влад в предверии Олимпиады ещë прибавит если не в скорости, то в стабильности, то он, пожалуй, может огорчить в китайской сборной не Только Лина ... . 4.

Vladi you still got it. Keeping it real and kicking.

Vladi does it again. Legend !!!

I can `t believe my eyes. There are no words. I said he would meet again.

Samsonov is a class act. Never a scream (unlike the idiots who scream chole), never a rushed shot, the perfect serve according to regulations, always in total control of the game. A master who is still at his best. Lin was in a hurry to win and didn’t expect that accuracy would beat speed.

Samsonov comeback! Nice Match!

Dang, i have seen Samsonov live ( in Grenzau Germany ) more than 25 years ago. That guy is still active ? Incredible.

I dedicate this video to all the noobs who thought that Vladimir Samsonov should retire ;;;;DDDD

Lin Goayuan is not as good as his current #4 ranking would suggest. His weakness was exposed by the crafty 43 year old veteran Samsonov in this match. The deciding seventh game shows it’s not all about power and quick shots.

I mean i never thought that vladi will take him down.. but hats off .. experience does matter.

Vladi played as if a Coach was playing with his Player he trains.....

Im happy for mr. Vladimir the legend

Legend ! Support from Belgium 🤛

Just rename this video to - Vladi being Vladi for 13 mins straight.

Legend never die

Legend!

fast and furious! huh, Samsonov's defensive-offensive effective strategy. enjoyed this match very much

Great match, Samsonov!

Are you for real, son? Wow! Timing and Speed are in a boat, Touch and Power are on a train...

Старина Самсонов выиграл по тактике, с левшой не так просто сыграть. Ветеран настольного тенниса красиво выиграл, приятно было смотреть. Спасибо Владимир Самсонов.

its always an enjoyable match to see how samsonov still compete with superfast player

AMAZING!! Samsonov

Samsonov is the flag bearer of Europian players with Timo Boll, WALDNER and few others. May feel sad that he may soon retire in next few years. The only existing pro player, highest aged 44 years in the present time! For that he may deserve a separate honour/ award from IITF.

Long live by Samsonov

Lin proved again that he is a choker.

Самсонов, красавец!!!

respect for old but gorgeous legend. congs Samsonov.

Respectible player.

Круто, хотя и видно как сильно Владимир потерял скорость :(
