This was the spectacular game which also showed the transition from Walner's period to Ma Lin and Wang Liqin 's period. Anyway Walner is my most favorite table-tennis player.

Walner has quick reflexes and has a sharp mind. It is obvious to every one watching that he is thinking fast - faster than the opponent and has complete control over his skills, to push, to chop, to do chop bock and top spin with forehand and playing inside out , all these while thinking faster than the opponent . Great player.

It's amazing how Waldner makes the game look so easy! He gets so many points because of his deceptive serve and remarkable serve reading and return skills. Also, even though Ma Lin won, he doesn't seem to be nearly as fierce an attacker here as he later became.

Abubakar, Did you notice that they were playing 21 points and playing with a 38mm ball? The service game was much more lethal because of spins. The loop drives were faster with more spins. They did not have long rallies because the 3rd ball attacks were deadly. When Ma was serving, he attacks. Ma won this match because he figured out or controlled Waldner's service game better than Waldner did to his.

Some one asked why there are some many passing shots. Of course speed clue and and ball size could have something to do with it. Ma-Lin had some of the fastest foot work in the world during that time so I don't think the players where slower. I think todays players are less accurate, trying to win the point by hitting a million loops with brute force until the other guy misses. Back then placement was king.

well I don't know if they are necessarily less accurate. The reason why placement was king back then still goes back to the rule changes. Back then the ball speed was so fast that you just didn't have time to put the spin on the ball that you can today, so you had to rely more on placement. Today, the advantage of putting a ton of spin is greater than placement because the ball is just slow enough that top players can reach them and get it back.

You typically want to cover a good 75 - 80% of the table with your forehand, which is generally your power shot. If you serve from the right you end up in a position where you'd be covering the majority of the table with your backhand. They're generally pretty good about getting to those balls, but Walder was just placing the returns very well here, and using his angles nicely.
