I really feel like Waldner is to table tennis what Roger Federer is to Tennis. They might not be the goat in terms of stats and success, but noone has ever made the sport look so easy as them.
When waldner Got a slow highball and he could smash. He changed his grip slightly and smashes the Ball sometimes out of the court ten meters away from his opponent. Never seen anybody do that. Looks like completely crazy risky shot, but he did it everytime. For sure the best smasher of all time. 😮
Waldner playing TT reminds me of how Andrea Pirlo looked playing football. They made their respective sport look absolutely effortless, all while landing some of the most insane shots/passes you've ever seen vs the best players in the World. And to top it all off, even their nicknames are quite similar, being "Mozart" and "The Maestro" 🎻🔥
In de tachtig en negentiger jaren veel tafeltennistoernooien bezocht. (Top 12, EK's en WK's) Partijen van Waldner waren altijd favoriet bij het publiek. Ooit op een top 12 in Charleroi Saive compleet vernederd zien worden. Eerste 2 sets iets van 21-9 en 21-6 (toen nog best of five tot de 21). In de derde set liet Waldner de touwtjes even vieren en werd het 20-20. Op dat moment zag je echt bij Saive iets van laat ik die 2 punten maar weggeven want anders moet ik nog een 4e set spelen.
Ove is absolutely the goat of TT. His game was and is the only game that caused professional sports federations to recreate Their game. So sad, I hope full court tennis doesn't make the same mistake. I still love it. Thanks for the memories. Ps. Ping pong and table tennis are two different sports and The players/fans of both know it. Oh well, the party is in the basement. 🎉
Yes he is. Today. But that is like comparing Pele or Maradonna to Messi or Ronaldo. Some athletes were the wery best of their time even if other athletes then surpassed them. Waldner was at his time the best.
interesting how different the players move compared to now
back then there were different types of players now its pure offense except for a few
@@jesselabadlabad1916 The balls is also different if i'm not mistaken.
technology is different now
He is one of the best table tennis players ever. But as an artist he is the best ever. No one is even close😎
Jan Ove Waldner truly is a table tennis legend! These points showcase his incredible skill and creativity. What a joy to watch! 🏓🌟
Hands down the best ball control player of all time.

A total genius of ping pong! A GOAT!!!
1:47! One of the most famous table tennis points ever!
Chinese players play like robot, Waldner playing style is an art
At 56 seconds is really grandmasterful with such a far and high return. Also making a point with it! Even Saive could hardly believe it!
sensational !!!

He was an artist. He often, it looked like, played for the audience.

Saive brought out the best play from Waldner.
Ma long king of new ball waldner king of old ball!!.

My favourite Jan Ove...the best
👌🏓 TABLE TENNIS 🏓👍
The mozart of the ping😮
So much swag and style but yet so humble.
True
Did he win the point @1:00?
I can't tell... it's apparently filmed with a potato (or recoded four thousand times).
Saive won the point with drop shot
So . . . Waldner is not from our planet, right?
No, he is not from our planet
King.. He's a GOD of table tennis
Karakasevic is the King, Waldner is a Mozart
It is very different from the Chinese school
the chinese school learn form him
JOW stands more still. Winning concept!
He dictated the game with blocks and reflexes.. unique!!
Basketball - jordan
Soccer - marodona
Cricket - Bradman
Tennis - Federer
Boxing - Tyson
T.T - Waldner
Tennis - Djoković
Football - R9
@@PingPongPursuit Djokovic, LeBron , Messi , Kohli still actively playing the game.
@@PingPongPursuit You have my respect for saying R9 is the GOAT. S2!
As for Djoković. He will probably be the GOAT.
Marbles - Len Smith
Boxing only Mohammed Ali. I think.
Bring back the small ball !’
The most respected TT player
Better than all those best Chinese ping-pong players together. Undisputed GOAT
All of those together, i wonder.
Which years?
nah any top chinese player can match if not beat him. Respect tho
@@stizzlmFor me it's probably 1992-1996 that was his prime
Kong linghui beat him in Olympic 2000.
Ma long is the all time greatest player.

Thanks for supporting my channel
Non of this is even consider best points or game without mentioning world champion team final 1989, 91 and 93 particularly 1989.
✅❤️❤️👊
not a single of his points where he actually moved😂
La calma y velocidad de pensamiento
Old video with a new title ...
Ma Long could not do anything of this.
@@mikaelmagnusson3225 I think he could do, Im really interested if you can explain why you think he could not do
@@PingPongPursuit Im interested if you can provide any video where he do this kind of stuffs.
@@mikaelmagnusson3225the thing is that even though they don’t do it, doesn’t mean they can’t do it.
The King, thanks Godfather
TT vom Feinsten. 😅😊
Hmm...
there are better short he had with chinese players..wonder why all do European..
Why godfather?
Godfather is Eberhard Schöler🇩🇪not Player only🏓
BS
C'était un des meilleurs, d'accord. Mais mépriser les autres et le montrer, c'est un comportement de baraki
Complètement absurde.
Il n'a jamais méprisé quiconque. Comme si faire une passe aveugle au foot c'éait mépriser l'adversaire...
He's a creative show man and great player. But the best? Lol, records say otherwise. There have been better Chinese players.
@@sara.cbc92 So far to me Ma Long and Ma lin are only 2 players better than Waldner
Yes sure but he is the only non asian to win olympic gold in singles.
@@Radiozo Correct
He didn't loose a set in the 98 world championships. Totalt dominant then
@@pruppjesus Prime Waldner is different
Ma Long definitely better than Waldner.. Go China 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Not comparable.
🤣🤡

Великий теннисист!
