Yes!!
His TT IQ and mental strength (that's because he's one of the goodies ) are off the charts, it's not as if he always relied on muscle strength. I could see a Pirlo-style (or take any other of your picks) adaptation to a successful and classy end of career. He's sure got the swagger, and I kind of see in him the same good-natured attitude and love of the game you need to make it far and late. CNT politics, on the other hand, is maybe the biggest threat...
Anyhow, not sure if it was clear but I've got very high hopes that the best matches are yet to come!
Also, in this post I meant and apparently forgot to type "the same good-natured attitude and love of the game" as Timo Boll, whom he openly admires. I mentioned Pirlo for the sheer longevity and change in style with time (and less for the personality), but everybody knows that it is easier done with a football than a table tennis ball.
