I think Truls is developing the sport. In interviews Waldner always says that the European players shouldnt try to imitate the chinese. Rather try to find their own way of playing table tennis. Thats why Waldner was so great. Always one step ahead.
I love JOW like no other, but the top Chinese of today would crush him in his prime were he to play with the current ball size. It's a power game now with little finesse. His physicality is no match for the likes of Fan Zhendong.
Correct. It's how Ovtcharov and Harimoto compete with them: by doing things they don't, even though I dislike the vocal side of it. Truls does it with an unconventional blade and dito technique.
@@pappaflammyboi5799 agree, BUT: it's a power game not because of the ball or anything.. it's because of lack of freedom and creativity in modern training and education philosophy... it's a power game just because of the minds of the players today.... equilibrium movie style just has begun...
It's difficult to compare generations of table tennis. Waldner with the 38 mil ball was a class of its own. Möregardh has to prove over the years that he is a champ. And he has to win titles. At least at European championships.
The real new hero from Euro is Jorgic. He has proven that in this tournament and also in the Tokyo Olympics. Truls has not beaten any top 10 player so far, and his only international success is reaching WTTC final last year but he was lucky not to face any top Asian player or top 10 player en route (Boll was WR 11 that time).
@@inyourface123 Nothing against Darko Jorgic, he played really well in the whole tournament. But it is Moregards' style of playing - (kind of) "unpredictable" for opponents in terms of ball placing - that (in my opinion) makes him Europe's hope to compete with top Chinese. He's almost 4 years younger than Darko and once he improves his consistency and mental strength throughout the whole single match he will be a real threat to even top Chinese players.
I don't agree. Waldner was a true gentleman. I have never seen him throwing the racket and other unsportsmanlike conduct. Waldner is a true legend when Moregard is only a cheeky spoiled KID!
I am a fan of Timo and like him very much. But big props to Truls. Playing so comfortable and variable against a player like Timo who is known for making it very hard to play like this is very very impressive
Timo is just aging out sadly. All these lazy wide backhand blocks or the precision, and the will to go full forehand attack Mode in rallies are not anymore possible for Timo. He lacks speed, endurance, back-problems. 7years earlier he would have cooked everybody of those guys. No offense, Trust is a good guy, but beating old men.
Passing of the torch. We are witnessing a new era of European table tennis, if i can be bold to say so. Truls playing style is so unique. And for Timo, i wish him many more years of great table tennis matches :)
Congratulations Truls on your well earned victory over the legend that is Timo. Truls Moregard along with Darko Jorgic are two promising European talents to challenge the might of the Chinese, Japanese n Koreans.
@@katouchun182 not being old was the problem of this match, it is the game style of Timo which gives Truls advance over Timo, heavy slow underspin while Truls maintained being close to the table ...
To be honest the weakest Chinese player would beat them both same day ..I thought I was watching some amateurs playing and not some world class player ..
@@serbanxcm lol, simply not true, but do you mean by weakest chinese player, ppl like xang peng or sun wen or something, or did you actually consider what you said.. i think what put you off, is how truls plays arythmically so the rallies become a bit... weirdly paced, and truls also just flatout punches balls, that doesnt mean its inferior.
8:50 I mean, what can you do against this? Really impressive. His playstyle is so wild and confusing, you never know what's gonna happen next. And he's having so much fun even in tournament matches. He's really entertaining to watch for people who are familiar with the sport. Laymen will not understand what's going on. He literally has multiple trademark shots like these counter smashes, his backhand punch and the backhand backspin/no spin blocks.
first i thought truls is an arrogant dog... but the more i watch him play, the more i realize how unique this free playstyle has become... nearly everyone else is just like a robot doing exactly the same as everyone.. only topspins with the same motions, rarely blocking, bh bananas from nearly everywhere on the table, screaming chooooo!!!!!! instead of own expressions,.. quite a uniformation nowadays.. like soldiers of modern education..
Timo was clearly injured at the WTTC and in Swedish media especially this was largely overlooked even though it was plain for anyone to see. Sure, even an injured TB is a threat and a feather in anyone hat if they beat him. But still this second victory confirmed that the last time was not a lucky strike. Well done Truls! Now it's time to get even with FZD :-)
It's not Moregard's fault that Boll could never prepair for the majors.He had no business playing doubles but he always preferred easy sponshorship money.
@@dickn.ormous1064 I think it’s kind of presumptuous to think that money is the prime motivator for his behavior. I would imagine that succeeding in doubles is important to him as well as the german national team from a sports perspective. My impression of TB is that he’s a great sportsman who is exceptionally professional in his approach to the sport. Any commercial success he may have reaped during his carreer is more likely a result of his attitude, not the other way around.
I'm really surprised that Källberg isn't here, but Truls is showing why he's a force to be recond with! Timo is a legend so there can't be any hard feelings.
@@ttime9947 yep, but that is crazy how they can be, Källberg is way better than both Falck and Karlsson the last seasons, Truls and Anton quite equal at the moment so can accept Truls having a higher rank..
This guy Truls Moregard is just amazing! I would love to see him playing against the top Chinese players. His style is just amazing! So entertaining to watch!
Guys, can you make the cut more relaxed ? I am interested in seing the game as if it were live, not cut right after each point. Want to hear the commentary, see replays etc. Thanks
Biggest difference I see in Truls is that he is not trying to swat the hard forehands like he did against the Chinese though their forehands were much more powerful than Timo's is. We have to see him face off with the Chinese before concluding this. He is trying to win the rallies with good loop drives. Wish he could develop backhand like Darko's.
Sinto que faltou Timo arriscar mais, atacar primeiro mais vezes. Se você está na semifinal é melhor fazer algo diferente. O risco de contra-ataque é alto mas o Truls é jovem e jovens perdem o foco e erram muito em jogadas fáceis. Timo é uma lenda e pode mostrar mais do que isso que fez nessa semifinal.
If we take the age factor, Truls can have an advantage. But mentally and tacticaly, Timo is better. His experience says a lot. For sure Timo have chances to win in the future.
Boll was destroyed. Moregard serves so well. Gets the nice ball for a strong 3rd ball attack. And Boll cannot fool Moregard with his serves. So Moregard is the best of Europe. Can he now take on Fan Zhendong?
i was in houston & saw the semi final between tTrulls & Temo.Boll had an abdominal injury & lost big rallies in the third fourth games. This match proves Truls Moreguard is the real deal
timo is twice the age of the swede. Its time for new generation to appear and rightly so. If he can challenge the mighty chinese is a different story, dont think so. Chinese get even better and more dominant in this sport, every decade always better, its frightening.
Good win for Truls. Timo not playing his best. Even though he's not as injured as he was at the WM it still takes time to get back into shape especially if your no spring chicken like Timo
Well we see what he still can achieve in bigger tournaments. Last Year he won the European Championships and played a good World Championship. I think his performance wasnt very good today but Truls surprised him all the way through and didnt give Timo any rhythm.
WTF man… he is still so good, still has wonderful results… I don’t see why he would retire now, he can achieves so much more in the futur He has the right to be beaten by a young and wonderful talent, who has made a final at the last World Championships…
@@timharders I hope he will become a coach after that. The new German generation needs a good coach to be able to compete internationally (it's only a matter of time till Germany isn't top 5 nations anymore

Truls is very comfortable with Timo’s slow and heavy loops close to the table. He countered well on both FH and BH.
Congratulations Truls on your well earned victory over the legend that is Timo.
Truls Moregard along with Darko Jorgic are two promising European talents to challenge the might of the Chinese, Japanese n Koreans.
Great match from Truls, didn’t expected it but he really gave Timo no chance

The new hope of European table tennis Truls Moregard.
Are new hero. Great match. Boll is a legend.
The Bjorn Borg of table Tennis- unorthodox grip, style, etc!
Almost looked like being one step ahead. Rather than being outclassed on speed or footwork, Timo was outsmarted by the young prince.
So sad for the result though, Moregard is really improved now.
Maybe Timo should also try to play with the cybershape carbonblade
Congrats Truls, very impressive victory and beautiful match.
man this are some crazy times again, big up truls. excited for the next match already, timo will train for it im sure ^^
Wow... Timo's still Timo, but this boy f. rocks! That chop-block! 😮
Omg. Truls played so fluently and Timo got no idea what to do! New king of the Europe I guess?
Cybershape Carbon! The future of table tennis!
Ok, this time it was a convincing win. At the WTTC Timo appeared to be injured. Good for you Truls!

Great sense of ball from truls moregard
Wow Truls congratualations 👍😄😄😄
yep Truls is a talent, no doubt about that...
Truls will be next timo boll/ waldner of europe. He is still young.
Guys, can you make the cut more relaxed ? I am interested in seing the game as if it were live, not cut right after each point. Want to hear the commentary, see replays etc. Thanks
Truls' forehand won him a lot of points.
Speaking of forehands, there were some he made this game I've never seen another human make. If he can be more consistent end to end there's no limit.
Timo,one of best players ever.just an old man in athletic terms. Good game

Fan defeated truls like a kid just pushing the ball
Timo plays with zoran primorac carbon blade. Insanse speed
Wow, amazing 🏓🏓🏓👍
Moregrad played an outstanding game! He is proving himself a top contender on world circuit. Completely outplayed Timo!!??
Waldner com certeza é o jogador mais completo de todos os tempos. Ma long é fera mas não tem a habilidade e a inteligência do Mestre Waldner.
Owned!
Truls activated his beast mode against Timo in 3rd set, hopefully he does the same against Chinese players as well going forward. All the best to him

has Moregard lost since the world championship? he is playing incredibly, simple no-nonsense play
he lost to Anton Källberg
he also lost to Franziska in Champions League (and won once, but both matches got into decider)
@@ttime9947 the final against Jorgic was a thriller. A match of fine margins
Where's website i can watch it live ?
Europe's table tennis culture is more systematic than Korea, so I'm envious.
Wow Timo had no Chance
Timo Boll a connu JO Waldner et maintenant il connaît son successeur. Concernant Timo, il revient aussi de blessure.
Is Timo Boll using a Butterfly Primorac Carbon blade in this match?
Wat een speler die Moregard😳
best angle ever
8:37 does anyone why Timo reacted that way? Was he frustated by himself? You almost never see Timo behave like that, it was so surprising
I think the ball just broke by the sound
If we take the age factor, Truls can have an advantage. But mentally and tacticaly, Timo is better. His experience says a lot. For sure Timo have chances to win in the future.
what blade was timo using in this one?
I think it was primorac carbon
Truls on the track
8:10 Dat forehand was lightspeed wow
TM is TB's worst nightmare
Wtf is that shape of the racket lol great match
WOW....TRULS THE DESTROYER....Great Result!
Stiga defeats Butterfly !❤
time is a flat circle. boll frustrated against a swede again.
Nice game and nice English accent
Parabéns ao Moregard. Vitória merecida👏👏👏
Seems like Timo's using Primorac Carbon now
Boll was destroyed. Moregard serves so well. Gets the nice ball for a strong 3rd ball attack. And Boll cannot fool Moregard with his serves. So Moregard is the best of Europe. Can he now take on Fan Zhendong?

like Federer

No chance:(

Truls is playing too hard and too fast for Boll...

まあ40歳のボルがトップに立てるようだとヨーロッパ卓球界は厳しいから、この結果はむしろヨーロッパ卓球界にとっては良いことだったと思う。そしてモーレゴードはボルが故障してなくても勝てるということを証明できたね。
I believe this is the time we can say timo should officially retire. Achieved so much already. Edit: timo is my top fav player.
hes still top ten and has a new extended contract with düsseldorf until 2025
Well we see what he still can achieve in bigger tournaments. Last Year he won the European Championships and played a good World Championship. I think his performance wasnt very good today but Truls surprised him all the way through and didnt give Timo any rhythm.
