Waldner sustained a world-class level for 3 decades. Facing 3-4 breeds of new and world-class players from China plus the rest of the world and defeating them all. Waldner faced massive game-changing factors including; Speed glue, change of ball size, new high tech rubbers, new scoring system and adapted to all with great success. Waldner also reached the highest-level TT had ever seen in his prime and raised the level a few times. Waldner was far more creative and constantly developing his game by reinventing himself. This gave him the ability to beat world class players and compete for major titles up until he was 45 years old. Waldner did not come from a nation of 200 million TT players. He did not have the best infrastructure such as China and yet from a small TT community in Sweden he enabled himself to become the greatest player anyone had ever seen back in the ’80s-’90s and early ’00s.
Point right after at 3:08 is also a masterclass in blocking. He sends the opponent from left to right by literally doing nothing but holding his bat in front of the ball and doing a slight tap.
Waldner was basically invincible from the late 1980s to the early 1990s, and was outstanding enough. Before, he was afraid of Jiang Jialiang, then he was afraid of Liu Guoliang, and then he lost to Kong Linghui, Ma Lin, Wang Liqin and others.
@@r.boubaya532 Waldner won his 1st major title in 1989 and the last international title was won in 1998 for a good 9 years. All the top players winning years lasted about a decade.

Suat Kaya is totally absolutely truth ✌🏻👏🏻🇸🇪🏓
No, six generations.
He was n still the best for me.:)
BEST IN THE WORLD HISTORY IN EVERY SPORTS!
That shot against Timo Boll sums up the GOD status of this player.
both points "the walking" and "the blocks" are incredible
2:53 My personal favourite shot... calmness and control of the entire point. The fastest thing in the whole match is JOW's mind.

His anticipation is like no one else in TT. Ever. He can just stand there flat footed and smoke the best of the best. It's crazy!
A true legend!Table tennis genius!😇
What a great man.
He's only such a good player the anount of spin and power he generates is insane.
+ his brilliant service + superb anticipation + the master of the touch + changing the pace + amazing under pressure ++++++
@@frankdevries5739 What people call anticipation is setting up his favourite shots using spin.
best of all time
Лучший из лучших!!!
5:04 Quiet easy to trace the ball,right?

Ma Lin was mauled by JOW in Athens olympics round 4 men's singles
@@pastorius1 but Ma Lin has a 7-2 lifetime record against Waldner
@@alberthuang4868 and his younger of 15 years Shit, Walner was the best for more than 20 years...He is simply the best of all time.

do proper research before commenting on media hype about Waldner winning for 3 decades
Great time of TT. A. Grubba on 3:59 . Both are legends
5:05 So back then the balls were 0 mm??
Mozart Symphony(ball 41)no 41!
still legend...mozart of TT
We need the smaller balls back.. pre 2000
我想學3:57那個
I saw that scene with my own eyes in Bukit Jalil Stadium, Kuala Lumpur in 2000
Better than Bjorn Borg and Ingemar Stenmark!
Det kan man lugnt säga
Inte ens samma sport
Maybe even better than Tiger Woods. Under Pressure he seemed like unbeatable, with his anticipation at a level, that is not even funny.
The Muhammad Ali of TT.
