R16 - MS - Taufik Hidayat vs Viktor Axelsen - 2011 Yonex Denmark Open 

42:10 is my favorite part!!!

In 2011, Taufik said “I’m getting old, and this year is not my best performance. Association must hurry to find the next generation. I’ll retired soon”

Taufik Hidayat is an artiste. He mesmerizes when he plays. His game is like poetry! A phenomenon. Quality and Quantity should never be compared. Quality is Quality. It is supreme. And Taufik's Game is pure quality. He will always be favourite in the hearts of those who have seen his wins. and they won't deny him his genius! A god gifted player. a magician!!!

Axelsen's records is phenomenal !. At such a young age, already playing against the top players in the world !.

Victor was so young...oh goshhh that skinny and baby face 😂. Now he is on top, what a journey

Tiba tiba muncul di beranda,,,, Ada yang sama 👇🏻

The end of a legend and the beginning of another

i come from the future, 10 years later... viktor axelsen wins his first ever denmark open title

fantastically said Ryan. He is indeed the Federer of the game. The man's game is pure poetry like that of Federer.

Both Lin Dan and Taufik are great in their own playing style. It is the deception that you can create out of the game for example, Taufik has a fluid backhand smash and Lin Dan has an extraordinary jump-flick smash. That makes them extraordinary but in terms of winning mentality, Lin Dan shows a bigger desire to Win and that makes the difference although he does concede many walkovers due to chinese vs chinese matches.

Taufik hidayat is not someone who wanna be a badminton athletes when he was a kid.. Even he doesnt like to badminton... He prefer play football.. But he has a natural badminton skill when he was a kid so his dad push him to be a badminton athlete... Until he became a champion at 16 years old. He became golden boy... And became no 1 at 19 years old. So badminton is not his passion, but he just play what he has.. He never want the other coach except mulyo handoyo cz he doesnt need a coach but he just need a friend, a father, a brother and mulyo had it.. And lin dan always said. That "he will never be like now if taufik hidayat is never be" so taufik is very inspired him... Even they have simillar age but taufik is came too early as a teenager who can get hight level and lin dan watch it... Then he train very hard to be like taufik.. Until the age of 25 he got what he fight and always have passion to be a champion. But taufik, after he has anything (almost all tittles) and have his own family.. Badminton is not the priority.. Just enjoy the game. And Be a champion just addition..he slower and lazier.. So, wrong if said wht he has got its like "lucky".. "lucky" just happen one or three times. Not many time n almost complitely. He kinda ratchanok.. Akane.. In woman single right now. even they do not have all england and olympic yet.. But they have many opportunity in the future.

Taufik will always be great, whenever he will play, just enjoy when he plays, even if he wins or not !!

10:21 Oh, jadi Ginting belajar teknik tipu daya was wes wos pas final Thomas Cup dari masternya. Mantaaap

Gila Axelsen umur 17 th dah lawan Taufiq. Pantes jago bgt periode ini. Semoga cepet pulih cederanya.

regardless of Taufik winning or losing, he is still an amazing player. people fall in love with his style of playing and his history, the fact that he still does win the majority of his matches just makes it that much better ;D Taufik, you are simply amazing.

Hendrawan said in an interview on badminton-information that was posted in 2011 that Taufik and Lin Dan is the all time best players ever. In the question before he said "...Lee Chong Wei, Peter Gade, Wong Choong Hann and etc. are all great talented players but didn't win major titles, so to me I don't really count them talented in full potential. It's not easy to win major titles numerous times such as Lin Dan, Taufik Hidayat and Susi Susanti it takes a lot of mental strength and abilities."

That is one my favorite matches of Taufik ever, so smooth and it has almost everything that makes Taufik such a good player. But don't forget that Lin Dan beat Taufik in 3 in the team event of that same tournament

Pantesan skrang exelxen hebat bngit main nya.trnyata dari dulu aja pernah ngalhin tupik 😃😃😃

Susi Susanti is the 'Ballerina' of badminton. Taufik Hidayat is a legend. What Hendrawan said is true. Both Lin Dan and Taufik are greats. Difference of styles. I have seen how fast Hedrawan plays but watch how Taufik mellows him down with his smooth and graceful play. Taufik came first and made history at 17. we have to remember him. History is always made to be broken and that was done by Lin. But to break records, one has to make records. and that level of EXCELLENZ was set by TAUFIK HIDAYAT!

Axelsen was a very mature and brilliant player at an early age of 17 ! . Should be the best Danish player of the Danish era now !. Won almost all the prestigious tournaments in the world !.

Both these great players will remember this particular match for the rest of their lives !.

Wah ini viktor axelsen bener2 kuat yah staminanya. Di saat taufik hidayat sudah pensiun, dia masih main sampai saat ini. Dan berhasil menempati rank pertama.

This quality is terrible, and its 2011. Feels like i'm watching a game from the 1980s...

Legend vs next legend 👍🔥

Taufik is like, ‘screw this, I’ve had enough badminton for today!’ 😅

Taufik won asian games at age 21, Olympic at age 23, WC at age 24. He finished 2 times runner up at All England (now super series level) at age 17 & 18 respectively. Prodigy. LD also prodigy but he blossomed after TH somehow lost his motivations to compete at high level.

Tahun tahun menjelang Taufik Hidayat pensiun. Apapun itu, anda tetap legenda hidup bandminton Indonesia. Thanks Hidayat!

Old legend makes room for the new one

2 Aug,2021. Axelsen has won 1st tokyo olympic, it's just incredible 👏

Victor axelsen is a no.1 world rank right now, he might be gracefull for match againts the legend like taufik hidayat

I'm not trying to downplay Taufik Hidayat but I think that the key to Viktor's win here is simply play deceptive lifts to the back of the court as serve returns to completely shut down Taufik's impeccable net and deception abilities. Notice how Taufik strained to properly return shots at the 2 backcourt corners. He simply went for lifts/clears and half hearted drop shots in which Viktor pressed his offensive. This went on for 2 straight sets then it's simply gg. The lesson here is, even if you got the best footwork and racket skills in the world, if your opponent has more determination to play a long and drawn out game than you, you will find yourself in trouble. Fitness is important.

I'm going to say I think its over as a champion for him(not as a player of course). In fact its great to see him do all that charity work in Indonesia. I wish him a great game for the olympics and I feel rightly honoured to have seen the 4 greats at work over the past decade.

Now viktor is one of the legends, and yt recommends this video to me

This appeared on my recommendation, and I found out axelsen was only 17 in 2011!

Footwork yg bagus cuman taufik hidayat doang.. Dia bikin lapangan berasa kecil karna udh tau arah bola kmana. Jadi gk susah payah ambil langkah buat nangis bola.. Legend mah emang beda.. 👍👍👍

i think taufik already lost his stamina in set 2, so basically he dont have chance in set 3. I am an indonesian, and in my country Already have rumors that he was lazy traning since he married to agum Gumelar daughter. Agum Gumelar is former minister in Indonesia. maybe he lost his goal and motivation for playing badminton. but when before he get married, taufik is really good equal to Lin Dan And Lee Chong Wei. Not Offence, it doesn't mean Axelsen is not good. He Really GOOD player in young age. I But The Score 21-16, 9-21, 14-21 it not really reflect their skill. the difference too far, maybe it should difference 3-5 point in my opinion.

Axelsen have already play from 2011 still now.keep play 12 years

the best backhand in badminton

Buat pemaen muda jgn takut berhadapan dgn unggulan .meskipun kalah tak mengapa . Ambul pelajaran dan pengalaman .

OMG.. watch this in 2021 😀✌️

Lin Dan has won 50 titles. Taufik has 27. Lin Dan's +/- stat is +398(!!). He has only won about 60 more matches than Taufik according to BWF but he hasn't lost as much. Look, saying Lin Dan is the greatest player ever does not in any way diminish what Taufik has achieved. Like, for a while Taufik had IMO the upper hand in the rivalry, having almost even H2H and beating Lin Dan in the big events when it mattered. But from a career AND level of play perspective, Lin Dan is the better player.

To all Taufik Hidayat fans, to give you the solid facts, if you look up at his profile and that of Lin Dan's in Google or Wikipedia, you will see that, in their entire careers, Taufik Hidayat has won 27 GOLDS whereas Lin Dan has won only 20 GOLDS.... so shut your mouth before you speak anything against Taufik Hidayat. He is a goddamnned living legend!!!!

Axelsen is a cool customer.Great maturity for a young player with tremendous potential. Like how he develops the point patiently before going for the kill. He's not flustered by a seasoned opponent by any means. Taufik is good as always but this guy can be a handful,wait till he's more experienced.

Totally agree with you, it's Always the same!

Viktor Axelsen masih muda dan Taufik Hidayat sudah mulai menua beda regenerasi

i love u taufik,,, i love u indonesia,,,

Is this first performance by axelsen? 17 years old, he's so cute😁, Now be father😆.. Sorry with my english

Taufik Hidayat is a far supreme player than LinDan. why? look at those deep drop shots he plays. look at that smooth footwork. look at that backhand smash. look at that backhand crosscourt drop shot. Look at his Olympic win. and when he plays, who can beat him in deception. even Andre Agassi had fallen in his career due to personal problems. That doesn't mean he isn't great. he still has the best forehand topspin of all times. and who can deny all his great matches?same with Taufik. He's genius

Taufik slows down a lot already by then. His performances was 7 out of 10.

And today, on october 2021. Axelsen won the 1st place in MEN single on denmark open

Thank you Taufik

You'd think the BWF would know about clicking that "de-interlace" button in video software, at least. Then you'd think RU-vid might have an option for that too...

The begining of someone is the end for a legend

Great game, Axelsen! What is more exciting is the style is definitely Danish European and I see future in that, if you can display that sort of speed in every game then I can not see why you can not beat anyone in the world. Techinically speaking, you played great in the second and the third sets, keep it up, we would like to see some European player dominate the game once in a while.

Exelsen adalah bibit unggul dari muda sudah punya mental juara.

edisi dulu ( saat sponsor osim ) teks jelas terbaca ,Video bening ,jelas banget . mantab ,gak spt skrg

Setelah 10 tahun kini Axelsen udah di peringkat 2 dunia, bentar lagi ngejar Momota di rank 1

seru ki bro pemain seng tak demeni main TAUFIK HIDAYAT

I think that is the case in every home event. If you watch the Thomas Cup when it was held in Indonesia, the crowd even taunted the Indonesian players' opponent.

Taufik has the best backhand and is one of the most technically gifted players ever, that's what. Also, he was Olympic champion and World champion. He also holds the record for the fastest smash in singles competition. That makes him a great in my opinion. Also, why you capitalise gold?

Lin Dan had already withdrawn out of the Indonesia open for your information

It is the Indonesians who have invented so many of the great shots of the game. They make the most creative players. The jump smash, the cross net drop, the reverse jump smash................and, to name the greatest shot of all times, THE BACKHAND SMASH, which i haven't seen any Chinese player play anytime, and of which TAUFIK HIDAYAT IS THE SUPREME MASTER, for it seems he invented it. Regardless of the fact that he has the world's fastest smash. Indonesians have given badminton its vocabulary

Watching Taufik is so satisfying

he IS the greatest!!

Two players Number One 👍👍👆

To all Taufik fans, watch how he outclasses the spiky Chinese in Badminton 2006 Asian Games MS Final. mind you, he had a back injury. poor fitness. and yet, he systematically broke down Dan. those drop shots of his are pure magic. Not to mention that he still has his amazing footwork. Taufik Hidayat has the world's fastest forehand smash - 310 km/hr and also world's fastest backhand smash - above 200 km/hr

Sopo sing lagi nonton saiki

He has won more titles all round than even Lin Dan can imagine. So good luck with your research Mr. Chen. And think twice before you try to degrade a great player the next time!

I miss young taufik

Mantab kang tofik,slalu tenang dlm bertanding yes yes

Kiprah Taufik hanya sampai tahun 2010 , kalah sama pesaing lainnya yg terus berkembang, bahkan kalah sama Victor yg rangkingnya 44 dan skr Victor menjadi pemain no 1 dunia semangat Victor turus bergema

10 years later, Viktor is the Olympic Champion.

I like Taufik's controling game. He should keep the tempo low as possible and make his opp move.

Viktor Axelsen was 188cm. He was still growing during this. Today he is 194cm.

Bear in mind this kid that you talked about had beat Bao Chun Lai before, so it's not only Taufik had a bad game, the kid really is that good....

Axelsen learning from master taufik hidayat before he got number 1 now

2024 👇 👇

Fast forward 10 years, Viktor Axelsen 2021 Olympic gold medallist

Taufik feels got everything since gold medal at athena

Victor is the best, better than 3 legend LD TH LCW👍

lngat Taufik Hidayat, ingat 3 lainnya, Peter Gade, Lin Dan, Datok LCW.

Nonton ini 2021.. mau liat kualitas axelsen 10 tahun yg lalu

2021 ngumpull

Dari ranking 44 di tahun 2011 jadi ranking 2 di tahun 2021 -viktor axelsen

he is not the greatest in the world....but ONE of great players in the world he achieved things that many people maybe not easily achieve but haters gonna hate anyway

2021 baru nonton lagi

taufik hidayat is good but viktor axelsen is better, this guy have iq++++

Taufik Hidayat is just outside of the top 10 whereas Victor is is not even in the top 20. does that say something?! Taufik is like Federer, they are getting old but they are still going and in the top 20! Have some respect!

Taufik might not win or almost lost or his rank drop but Lin dan said himself in the chinese sport interview although he and Peter Gade performance is down due to age,physics,etc ,they are not an opponent that should be underestimated ,and they are great player although LCW is exception n the only one who can bring such intense in the match,since he consider LCW is his the biggest rival Lindan himself also research those 3 person styles rather than others

Felt that Taufik could have done better. But still Axelsen is actually a really good player regarding his young age. He still have a long time ahead of him. Hopefully he becomes better and better.

I love understanding what the coach says :) Norway FTW!!

Former Olympic gold medalist in a clash against a future Olympic gold medalist

Taufik has a lot of experience and he has been decreasing hes skills amoung the last years as we can see... He was as good as Axelsen when he had hes age! Axelsen is machine , very explosive game, very precisse as well. As for Taufik, he makes the sport worth to exist! Both great players both to be respected and fuck all the ones who say Axelsen suck cos he has already made history in badminton.

"Taufik Hidayat" Michael Schumacher of Badminton.

Nonton 2021😭😭 Itu si Axelsen masih brondong bgt😄😄😄😃😃😀

Taufik is THE GREATEST!!!

wow victor gain weight now and he still the best player

What strikes as the most outstanding difference between this game and games of today is the amount of time between rallies. In the 3rd set the players take as much time in between rallies as players today take in their 1st set starting at 0:0. Even with shuttle changes they are quicker to serve than in todays games without a shuttle change. This is what annoys me about todays games, there is so few badminton in the badminton match.

wait, they use aerosensa 50 in tournaments?

Can you guys beat taufik? if not pls dun say anything bad bout him,hes a legend.
