You are so blind when it comes to the sport of Table Tennis when its standard form was "hardbat"
Waldner simply thought he would win because he is a legend (he is by the way as we all know) but sadly there are many players playing hardbat Table Tennis such as the "bald guy" who are better than him and others. Give the "bald guy" credit he was technically superb, which Waldner was not .................. playing harbat.
Some news VANS they were NOT playing "inverted" or did Waldner not notice this ?
We know he would win easily playing inverted but this just shows the narrow mindedness if you cannot see past one type table tennis................. RESPECT IT GOES ALONG WAY
See some real technique and forehand ............... if they were around now - wow
Technique and class is permanant while form is temporary
