Yes , but in the key moments he won 6,7 balls with the net....while Kallberg' s enemy was also the net...every ball Kallberg sent, was out from the net...
Best game so far among the ones i've seen in the tournament. Kallberg played very well and i was impressed by his speed!!! Super fast player and very reliable shots. But Timo Boll is still Timo Boll !!! :) congrats for the victory Timo, it's still a joy to watch your games!
What a nerve-wracking match. I'm too old for this and i'm younger than Timo. Btw, Timo: how could your legacy possibly getting even bigger at this age? I cannot believe how well you are still playing. Adding another titel at the age of 40 would be a joke. Winning this match alone is incredible, when you think about it. What a player, what an athlete, what a role model he is 🙏🏼
@@lucaslima4218 Kallberg played a lot more matches than Calderano. Kallberg was 25-2 and Calderano 15-1 (Boll had more losses this season). Kallberg was the key player in the Champions league and the playoffs for Dusseldorf this year. He has been extremely consistent against players outside of the top 20 but hasn't played that many matches against that caliber player (he had match points against Dima at Doha but couldn't close it out). He is very close to the top none-chinese players. ttbl.de/
Boll is not a really smart player.He simply doesn't miss in neutral rallies because his game is quite safe using small swings played mostly with the arm.That style can get you to a certain level but doesn't work against the Chinese.Crisan has a similar game to him.
A igree that Timo played smart and deserved his victory... but the number of lucky points by him was just incredible, especially during important setpoint/deuce situations.
I think Kallberg might have the best footwork out of any of the European players. He was really able to move around the whole court and hit good forehands. Physically and technically he's very strong, he just needs to work on tactics and mentality. Maybe he needs to "cho" after big points idk
@@void0350 I feel like there's a bunch of euro players that have the POTENTIAL to upset the Chinese - but no huge threats. This includes Dima (had beaten fzd once iirc), Darko Jorgic (I don't think he's had any big upsets against China but he's always pressured them), Liam Pitchford (probably washed up but who knows), Falck (playing against pips can be extremely awkward + high pressure situation = hard) and of course Timo is always a bit of a threat. It's hard to say. This is also FZDs first Olympics so who knows what could happen. It's pretty high pressure compared to other events.
I feel like the game was much closer than the 4:1 shows. I think Anton played very well but was too passive towards the end of the set. I'm pretty sure he will be able to take away a lot from this game and grow from it. Well playe Timo!
I've read some of the comments extolling Timo but how many times was he beaten down his right side....I think he needs to up his game another 20-25% before he starts admitting he played well. A win is a win but I think that Sweden are moving into the new TTpowerhouse in European TT. Maybe an upset on the cards in The olympics for them. Good Match to watch #TableTennisKeepyUppeyChallenge
I guess if Anton wasn‘t playinging in Düsseldorf as well, he would have won this match. I had the feeling that he coundn‘t imagine winning against this legend and started playing nervous. Good for Timo but Anton would have deserved it^^
I really hate it when people are complaining about a net that is not moving lol ... It’s part of the game and flexibility of the players to save the ball and adjust quickly which requires fast reflexes.. If he is better than Timo then he could have won at least 3 sets ... people saying Timo being lucky is a bullshit !!! At his age playing so smartly is amazing and look how spinny his ball, it’s beyond compare!!!
Boll is quick, reliable. Knows when to slow down. Nearly always puts the ball on the table. Doesn't go for low percentage shots. Kallberg is firing hard and missing.
Hi everyone! I just saw the crazyiest thing in this video!!! Anton kallberg start the game with his fh black rubber normal 05, and bh dignics 05 and switched the sides in the end of the first set... And played the remaining of the game with dignics 05 on his fh and normal tenergy on his bh... Whats that all about... Never seen anything like that in pro tt...
I will make a little prediction here. Timo boll will not succeed at olympics once again. He will not lose to a chinese player but someone he would normally beat.
Do you know how old Timo is , but Timo still wins , that means younger still standstills , no more improving. I love Timo but if he wins now i am sad instead of happy.
Timo - the player with the highest number of net balls in the history of table tennis 😁. P.S. It’s probably a result of his good karma, so fanboys don’t start fuming.
gosh the stomping is so ridiculous nowadays. it has nothing to do in TT in this current era. it was a trick to hide the contact sound when we could still hide the ball with the arm. now that we see everything, it doesn't serve any purpose. just dumb stuff. and Anton abuses of the "Gerell" style of serve by semi hiding with the rotation of his body. honestly, so many players nowadays are unwatcable because of stupid stuff like that. irritating as hell.
As Gary Lineker said, "Everybody plays table tennis, Timo Boll wins"
Timos countertopspin and reaction speed close to the table lookin extra sharp here, well deserved win!

Beating anton (who played well and is in top shape) in a big match
Timo the magic boll
A bright future to anton
Timo called himself old in his youtube vlog.
The brilliant rallies in the game display otherwise.
Timo is filled with spark.😎

Yes espacially if u think about it Anton has the best win to lose ratio in the german Bundesliga :)
@@sirqualls722 Really!? Which is your Win ratio, please!? I'm Brazilian and was thinking that Calderano or Boll would have the best ratio.
On paper Anton should have bodied him. Timo is such a smart player that it's disgusting.

Anton was stronger in many sutuations but Timo could play the experiance card and also had some lucky points. It could have been the final
He needs to study how Dima plays when he plays Timo
A igree that Timo played smart and deserved his victory... but the number of lucky points by him was just incredible, especially during important setpoint/deuce situations.
IQ playing at its best
Excellent match. Timo's still got it!

Who is in contention for european players? Im watching more the chinese leauge tbh.

Das war ein hartes Stück Arbeit Timo :)
Timo is still a Legendary...
Timo is in excellent form for being close to 40. Anton played really well and took full advantage of Timo's weaknesses.
he already 40 you nonce?
Timo ist einfach brutal in seine ganze Karriere
Nice Timo. GZ. Läuft mit dem Primo Carbon !!!
Great tactical battle. It's like watching teammates practicing chess moves again and again. Also great mental battle.

A bright future to Timo Boll :)
Im from philippines. Me and my mother love timo boll. Timo is like our manny pacquiao that still dominates younger players.
T. Boll~ congratulations~

Who else found Timo is transformed. 😍😍Only thing gave some trouble was opponent targeting his backhand with powerful forehand smashes.
Basically Chinese Table Tennis then.
Ну епта, Антоха. Все ждали прорыв наконец-то, а получилось как обычно :\
Я тоже глубоко разочарован. Надеюсь он сделает выводы
Boll is quick, reliable. Knows when to slow down. Nearly always puts the ball on the table. Doesn't go for low percentage shots. Kallberg is firing hard and missing.
3:08 Is Timo using a Primorac Carbon?
Yes
The old man is still so quick and bendy
Very good game from timo boll 👍👍❤️
good game by both with Timo on the lucky side. This time.
Hi everyone! I just saw the crazyiest thing in this video!!! Anton kallberg start the game with his fh black rubber normal 05, and bh dignics 05 and switched the sides in the end of the first set... And played the remaining of the game with dignics 05 on his fh and normal tenergy on his bh... Whats that all about... Never seen anything like that in pro tt...
Has anyone noticed that Timo was playing Primorac Carbon blade against Kallberg?
Timo switch to prinorac carbon since semi in bundesliga
Well done, Timo! So close match. But what about another legend - Vladimir Samsonov?
He didn't participate.
Die Auslosung muss man sich mal vorstellen: Kaellberg, Falck, Dima.
Schlimmer geht's wohl nicht. Da wird Olympia ein Spaziergang dagegen
Антон расхлябанно сыграл! Как можно, ведя 8-2 в первом сете, его проиграть? Много каких-то нелогичных решений, ударов.
Тимофей красавчик!
Great Timo
anton is a great player
but timo magic ball is a genious, one gotta be much better than great to beat a genious
I will make a little prediction here. Timo boll will not succeed at olympics once again. He will not lose to a chinese player but someone he would normally beat.
ЕСТЬ ЕЩЁ +1!
Do you know how old Timo is , but Timo still wins , that means younger still standstills , no more improving. I love Timo but if he wins now i am sad instead of happy.
you should be happy because you're still able to witness Timo win, I don't think anyone will ever have that kind of longevity, but we'll see.
Timo! You lucky bastard - Congrats
👍👍👍👍👍
Quite an achivement for a 40-year-old to beat Kallberg in his prime!
+3 СЛЕВА -1 ПО ЦЕНТРУ И САМ РЕШАЙ!
nice revenge
Бог тенниса все видит, если ты не выигрываешь при счёте 8:2 (при равном уровне), он отдает победу сопернику
Anton couldn't make his shots when it mattered most
Timo - the player with the highest number of net balls in the history of table tennis 😁.
P.S. It’s probably a result of his good karma, so fanboys don’t start fuming.
true, but I would say that he was unlucky in the most important moments throughout his career, particularly with injuries.
ЭТ Я ВИДЕЛ!
Тоха хорош,но он пока не Тимо:)
timo boll = net ball
gosh the stomping is so ridiculous nowadays. it has nothing to do in TT in this current era. it was a trick to hide the contact sound when we could still hide the ball with the arm. now that we see everything, it doesn't serve any purpose. just dumb stuff. and Anton abuses of the "Gerell" style of serve by semi hiding with the rotation of his body. honestly, so many players nowadays are unwatcable because of stupid stuff like that. irritating as hell.
howwwwwww
3:30, 4:20, 6:50, 10:36 Whoever set up that net should quit his job, honestly...
Too much lucky points by Timo save him. I think Anton was stronger in this match
Timo was very lucky with the net. In this case the best player lost.
Timo🐏
Чудовищное невезение у Антона. Бол соплями выиграл
Ты сам сопля. А Тимо, это легенда.
Выиграть соплями нельзя. соплями можно только проиграть.
а когда боль на 15 16 не подал вы забыли?
