I played Stipancic in an earlier round of these World Championships. To me, he had tremendous power and speed. A assure you that little kids don't play 3x faster !! More to do with timing, style, and maybe even camera speed. The guy was incredible. Ranked #2 in the world on the day.
Stipancic is playing a somewhat mid-court game here, and his forehand tended toward the topspinny, rather than speed. A friend of mine told me at the time, when he saw him play against Takashima, the chopper, that T. had a terrible time keeping the ball low. So much topspin (and little speed) it kept sailing back over the edge over and over again.

Are you Janos Borzsei ?
Tova je bio veliki igrac onog doba. Imao sam cast trnirati s njim kao klinac.
thx for sharing
Stipancic is a legend as Klampar's level but died too young!
