The shot when Timo anticipates XX's topspin in his forehand and counter-attacks it very fast like he did 4 or 5 times between 3:20 and 4:45 is absolutely INSANE. We can also notice how good he plays the high balls : no need of having lots of power, just good placement so XX can't counter-attack. So much anticipation and cleverness by him... THIS is what you need to beat the Chinese, too bad Timo didn't play so good all the time
i can`t believe he countertopspined all those shots without backing up from the table O.o just look at it he was standing close to the table this was an insane game man
@NeOsino A lot of the pros don't use equipment from their sponsers. Many Europeans use Tenergy 05, Ma Long (DHS) uses a Butterfly blade and BH rubber, ZJK is the same, Ma Lin uses the YEO and T05 on the BH and that's just some of the CNT.
@diskfrisker timo is learning from the last penhold vs shakehand 2011. ever since a couple yrs ago he started training with chinese superleague, his play style and tactics have improved a ton
Boll seems to be a better at counter looping atm, normally when Xu Xin was able to unleash his forehand, the point was over, but this time, Boll stayed in the point by countering some, which made all the difference.
@ttxuxin the blade is a stiga rosewood nct v, the rubbers are calibra lt sound on his forehand, thats what stiga said in their facebook page. dont know the backhand rubber.
I think Boll came here just to beat Xu Xin. I believe that's the only Chinese player he hadn't beaten yet. He has wins on all the others. And Boll was pouncing on everything. Including things that were pounced on by Xu Xin. Have you seen such crazy counter topspins?
@LightSpeed99999 I don´t know this, Xu Xin is Stigas player. On Stiga website write : Xu Xin is using Offensive NCT blade and Boost TX rubber. Of course this may not be true . Peace
@ttxuxin he plays the national version(blue sponge) of Dhs Hurricane 3 (but like all chinese : boosted with the brown Hai Fu oil) on the forehand. I dont know his backhand rubber but I thin tenergy64 ( like Wang Liqin) or Nittaku narucross EX soft (Ma Lin)
The point is that something that can not remain hidden, someone will understand. Many companies do this but the secret to allasoun to handle the wood. In other forums I read that even the wood plays timo boll is questionable whether the timoboll ALC.
The way that Timo Boll played here, especially during the later sets, ironically resembles the chinese style of play (close to the table, initiating attacks). Surprisingly, Xu Xin, being from China, did not see it coming, and underestimating Boll's adaptability became his downfall. If Boll tried that on Ma Lin though, he would get his ass handed to him.

sorry m8, but world they many good players at the moment who would be able to beat both, schlager, waldner, and persson. Like samsonov, ovtcharov, joo see hyuk, jun mizutani even many others.

Super aggressive play by Timo!

Unbelievable countertopspin by Timo. Those are his best weapon.

Awesome game of Boll, well played.
Is it the first time that timo boll win xu xin?
timo boll is more active this time (when he vs. Xu Xin)
3:30 Timo channels his inner Ma Lin
Go Timo! Nice counter topspin!
@ttxuxin he plays with DHS pf4 2mm on backhand and stiga mendo 2.2mm on forehand ( a very fast bat)
@ttxuxin the blade is a stiga rosewood nct v, the rubbers are calibra lt sound on his forehand, thats what stiga said in their facebook page. dont know the backhand rubber.
Timo Boll
NIceeee work by Timo!!
Timo took more risks with counter topspins which worked, and destroyed XX in the last 2 games 22 points to 6!!!
@Galimah No hard feelings towards any of the two. But Timo is definately the underdog here. Great match!
I think Boll came here just to beat Xu Xin. I believe that's the only Chinese player he hadn't beaten yet. He has wins on all the others.
And Boll was pouncing on everything. Including things that were pounced on by Xu Xin. Have you seen such crazy counter topspins?
timo's genius and bravery in this match were simply jaw dropped....I shit a brick watching this match. amazing.
Goooooooooooooooood Timo!
boll played great here
very agressive shot xu xin to lonhg rally with timo boll

I dont know his backhand rubber but I thin tenergy64 ( like Wang Liqin) or Nittaku narucross EX soft (Ma Lin)
I'm waiting for tyoungos to make a comment about how perfect and invincible the chinese players are.
does this count for the worldranking?

love the commentator. talks absolutely about nothing!
thanks for sharing!! timo finally winning one of the top 6 chinese!
xuxin goodbye london lol
Extraordinaire réaction de Boll envers un adversaire qu'il craint.
this is first time timo boll to win xu xin. they play like 5 times. xu won 4
Still watching 2019...
same... brutal performance.
TheNewGuy timo at the best level
@@MD-fg3hu too bad this Timo never showed up at the WTTC... he was the best player in 2003 WTTC but lost due to unluckiness.
TheNewGuy maybe his getting old..
Incrível Timo Boll vs China....chooooooooo!
I thought Roskopf was Timo's coach at the moment?
Still waiting?
wow timo was pulling off ma lins again and again
which rubbers plays xu xin ? (2:21)
nice counter loops close to the table
He plays with H3 Neo (I think) National and calibra (dont know which one)

what is robinot doing there?
This yellow t-shirt is one size bigger for Timo.
Boll played better here than in the WTTC
look the timo's wrist (2:30) awesome
Wow.
who won? china or the world?
Timo boll monster Power tables Raket
@TheMthuber Zhang Jike is a different animal from Xu Xin.

xu xin kept looping to timo's forehand where timo knew where it was going more than half the time :/
UNSTOPABLE RALLY WITH XU XIN

@Galimah Actuall this is the first time Timo beating him!!!!!
sorry m8, but world they many good players at the moment who would be able to beat both, schlager, waldner, and persson. Like samsonov, ovtcharov, joo see hyuk, jun mizutani even many others.
Wow Timo is much more aggressive here!
@MrWaaghals and Compantino with the opposite reply
Hm. Never seen Xu Xin lob RPB.
unfkingbelievable...
FH: H3, BH: Tenergy 05 or 64
esse xu xim é bom
When timo wins: YEHHHH
wen xu xin wins: this is nothing
wen timo loses: .... ****
wen xu xin wins: i can win next time
LAWL
China vs World...bit unfair...on the world.

Timo Boll's been really fiesty lately. Good work, Boll.
