Timo Boll aged 36 produced history in Belgium last night proving the Chinese can be defeated. In an interview with ITTF, Timo expressed, "I am speechless, it was a crazy match, after being down by 3 sets to 1 against such an incredible player I just tried to enjoy the game and stay relaxed. The fans here also were amazing and I must thank them for their support. I had a good feeling before the game and I think this helps when you play against such a great player. I am shocked at even my age at 36 I can produce such a win and that I am still enjoying the game."
