Kreanga's forehand doesn't seem bad at all, it's just too overshadowed by his backhand. This match (at least the highlights) were practically just him powering through everything. Great match.
Interesting to see see all the compliments about Krenga. Can you guys imagine what it would take to stop that kind of power, relying on allround play? Samsonov is beyond belief.
Samsonov took a hard beating from Kreanga that same year at the WTTC.Kreanga was mostly stopped by his nerves and his subpar return of serve. With better coaching he could have been a World Champion,Waldner said so. Samsonov's game was suitable for beating Europeans single wing loopers of the early 90's like Gatien.He really suffered against double wing fast attackers.
@@dickn.ormous1064 Idk man he's won an insane amount of titles and 3 world cups, don't think he's suffered. Samsonov was also in the top 10 for a good 20 years or whatever his longevity and titles speak for themselves.
Kreanga who get everything on the table, awesome ! Great video, great angle, great sound, fantastic players... let's add great commentaries and there would be what we need to enjoy table tennis on TV
Hi, people. Please be aware. Samsonov had won the event and earned $1 million at once.Lucky guy, indeed. He had to pay a tax of 200,000 was a heavy grievance on him.
@@epic1053 dont worry it didnt. Even WTTC or Olympics gold gives you anywhere near that. He's delusional or its 1 milliion yen, which is roughly $10k USD
What tournament was that? Why did they have European players? Were they only European players? Was that in China with no Chinese players? Many questions at once... 😅
@@jankay8569 Yup,Samsonov did really get a million dollars.There's a reason why most Europeans went to Japan in the early 00's often to the detriment of their career.They got big bucks. Only Schlager and Boll didn't play there.Boll made tons of money through sponsorships for being German so he didn't bother. Also Gatien made 600000 dollars which is weird cause he was way past his prime.
how is the video AND sound qualitiy so much better, to what we get from ITTV nowadays? Please someone explain, im actually curious, because I dont know Great game anyways, thanks for the "high" quality upload

i simply have to say Kalinikos Kreanga is a pure genius. He has too good a feeling on topspins especially backhands.

NexxtGen Because Samsonov is pure elegance and technique.
This what makes him a legend!!

Kreanga is insane
Backhando!!!
Kreanga could be the dictator of a country with a backhando like that.
The sound of speedglue sounded awesome as well xD
Kreanga who get everything on the table, awesome !

Thanks great match!!!
I feel so sorry how TT has "evolved" backwards.
those both, werner schlager and Kong Ling Hui inspired me so start playing table tennis.
Those both are true Legends and this Video shows it ;)))))
kreanga is 1.5 meters of pure backhand
Kreanga what a player 🥺🥺🙁♥️
Kreanga powerful player . His BH is No1
He had both a bullet bh, shoulder-swing-out, and a bullet punch bh, shoulder-push-forward. Nobody hit harder with either action, and he had both.
Kreanga an absolute beast. My favourite TT player samsonov won but kreanga was better in the game! Lovely stuff.
I missed the sound of speed glue.
Ikr!! The click is just so satisfying. Similar click for today is evo mxp.
У Креанги слева уникальный просто топ-спин. Как из пращи мяч летит. Я ни у кого такого удара не видел - ни у китайцев, ни у немцев. Это природный дар

Did that tournament really have a one million dollar prize, that seems unusually high for table tennis

Vladimir is using pimpled backhand?????
정영원 No, not pips. Just regular spinny rubber.
I wish boosting was made illegal ...
