1999 WTTC (45th) MS-QF: Jan-Ove WALDNER Vs KONG Linghui [Full Match/Chinese|720p]

Classic

the 38mm was supposed to be faster but Waldner and Kong looked slow compared to today's game

Observe Waldner only looking directly at the ball and racket and his opponent in the corner of the eye during serves.

.

Kong had big trouble when using FH to receive Waldner's BH short serve. Why Kong not used his BH receive more?

Absolutely gorgeous

Great by Waldner,he should have won this wttc to,according to himself the semi loss to Ma Lin is hes worst ever loss.

The Chinese have always shown respect for Waldner as he managed to compete closely with everyone they’ve thrown at him over decades.

Kto oglonda w 2022 bo mu trener kazal?

huge win for Waldner. Kong was scary

当年的球员都是直来直往孔总是把球打到瓦的面前，

Might not be a popular opinion, but I'm amazed how much TT has evolved in the last 20+ years. This is like local club level playing now...

Really matches goes to 21 with small balls!
Thanks China for this!
The Champ Waldner take down 10 million Chineses!
The Best Sportsman in the World!
Sad he not find a beautifull woman in China and have a child!
Not to late yet i hope.

I miss the 21 point, 5 serve game. So much better than what we have now.

That backhand 👌

One of the best matches I have seen brilliant Jan definitely the GOAT. Take care and stay safe mate. Tom.

валднер е като близнак на мой познат от детството чийто по мальк брат ми беше и все оште е един двамать единствени прийатели които некога сьм имьл не знам точно комплимент ли напрьвих но карьй да тече ьхьхь

Waldner was the 'ice-man' of ping-pong in resemblance with Borg in tennis, but even tougher at the moments where it all counts. Simply the world-wide ping-pong genious from Sweden! 👌👍

only One of western Democracy Player Can Easily Beat The Communist Player Is Waldner 👍👍👍👍👍👍, Don't Let The CCP Feel Arrogant and Ego

Waldner was a boss in the table Tennis arena

I was at this game with my dad :)
One of my best memories from my childhood

When you watch these videos of Waldner now, in the year 2020, you see why he was such a special talent...in any sport, someone like Waldner is a once-in-a-century type of athlete.

我是89年高一的时候才知道老瓦，当时是觉得我们班的有个同学特别像他

The goat waldner

one year later the tables were turned!

...ich versteh nur chinesisch...

當年孔令輝的球還是稍嫌保守_比起華德納而言,難怪最終還是輸球,而且球王的寶座也沒有坐很久...

loss corona chinese

Game is so much faster now.

I hate china players, they must screeming.

jie shuo is annoying..

Kong 太消极，赢球了都不“饺子”“饺子诶”

從攻擊次數來看，孔的確比較消極～

Waldner is good//

当年蔡解说分析的还是可以的，最近几年开始解说扯闲篇

笨蛋!! 一直没有留意自己的右手边空缺---一直让瓦德有机会攻去拿分!!!

What a big game!!!

菜蒙，乒乓解说界的毒瘤

There was a standing ovation that lasted for minutes after the match. One of the very moments of modern table tennis!

the ever green tree

Waldners arm blocks the serve.

unbelievable how deadly waldner's forehand was

One of the few matches were you can clearly see nerves getting to Waldner! But he won anyway. Kong forced Waldner to play his weaknesses. Great match!
