Ma Long and Zhang Jike is, why are there still so many people so stubborn about it? Ma Long achieved so much more than waldner in a harder era and ZJK achieved more in an even shorter time frame.
@@gab5012Waldner as a matter of fact played in a harder era. Which players were a threat to Ma Long? An injured Zhang Jike? Aging Timo Boll and Samsonov? Fan zhedong was still young. Ma Lin, Wang Hao, and Wang Liqin had all retired by the time Ma long reached his prime. The only player that truly was a threat was probably Xu Xin but he historically didn’t have a good record against Ma Long.
@@gab5012 Not true. China always let their best ranked player get easy victories when facing other Chinese players in international tournaments to make sure China has maximum chance winning gold. Waldner never had the same luxury as Ma Long. He had it way tougher with no help from teammates. Waldner is the goat when it comes to pure talent and mental strength.
@@danfors1333 Even if that where trueit would not make it less difficult, to be that highly respected to the point where they will always pick you over every other top player in china because you have a better chance at beating forginers. They don't give ma long such luxury, but if they do it is because he has proven himself the most competent on the world stage. Ma Long achieved more than walnder in half the amount of time, in a shorter career where there is always 10 more younger players in China strong enough to replace him in the world stage he still achieve more than any player.
@@gab5012 It's a HUGE benefit to have teammates paving the way in tournaments. Ma Long doesn't have to worry about leaving tournament early, he doesn't need to focus one match at a time. Instead he can focus 100% on the finals with less risk of being worn out. He can use several matches against teammates as a comfortable warm-up. Waldner on the other hand had to deal with increasing back issues and pain each match and had to minimize his movements by outsmarting all opponents to be able to have a somewhat fresh body in the finals. Being tactical each match takes lots of mental focus though and it's a thin line how much physical effort he could save without losing. That takes nerves of steel to go through the tournament with smallest margin each match. And by the way, they changed serving rules and ball size specifically just to mess with Waldner's dominance but he adapted anyways.

この練習風景は、対戦練れしている人とのための練習なのかい。何故かワルドナーがまるでイップスの人みたいだ。
He plays with Finn Tugwell to start with but in the end it's Allan Bentsen playing against JO.
Do you guys know which language they're using together?
swedish
Swedish (Waldner) and Danish (Tugwell)

Other dude sucks at blocking Waldner’s topspins
A problem many top elite players had in their career 😊
Imagine how good Waldner would be if he could cut his rubbers decently!!!
