I disagree about Wang Hao. I think he is very kind and modest, tries his best and only chos in close games. Just watch the 2012 olympics!

Baum is really obnoxious. Although he´s a great player and has made some great performances I think he takes himself too seriously.

Abaijon · Sep 8, 2013

Wang Hao is one of my favourite players. I agree with Samuraisam. Wang Hao is a gentleman. Don´t make a big fuss about himself.

I dislike players who beat me =\

I can't say that I dislike many players but Wang Hao is definitely a player I don't like, bad sportsmanship is something that I cant overlook. I cant remember the tournament exactly but Wang Hao was playing Wang Liqin and at the end of the first game Liqin got an edge ball that the empire didn't see and stood there expecting Hao to speak up but he didn't, he moved away from the table at lightening speed so there could be no debate. Bearing in mind the rolls were reversed a year or so earlier with Liqin giving Hao the point.

bastian steger - complaining on everything, including throwing his racket and shouting.

I think there's no player I dislike...
But sometimes Chen Weixings reactions are a bit...unreasonable.

After watching the last Chinese National Games I have to say I dislike Fan Zhendong´s snooty attitude.

Well, how would you behave if you were 16 years old and you were already playing at such a high level and you're expected to win

I guess you´re right. I will change my opinion when he grows old

Just joking, I don't really have a player I don't like.

same here

I've never been a fan of Bastian steger for his attitude and hidden serves, as well as sometimes questionable cheap trick tactics. Same for Jens Lundqvist, who always hides the ball, and complains and screams when he loses a point.

Haha, when I first started watching TT videos, I must say Ma Lin made me very very uncomfortable with his various antics. He delayed, and had all those little annoying acts. It just seemed he would do anything to throw off his opponents. I hated it. Well I must admit he eventually converted me with his skills and finesse.

What I have heard is that he is a big smoker, and all his antics are to catch his breath as well has think about the next third ball attack tactics . Not sure if this is really true though

Its not for nothing he prolonged his career just because of his fantastic serve and receive game , probably the best in the world ever. Infact, even when Zhang jike was creating his Grand Slam he was still the best serve and receive player in the team , even without excessive use of backhand banana flip . He is and will be a legend !!

All right boys, we already have a couple of threads about your favourite players etc. Now how about the ones you DISLIKE. It could be for whatever reason. So ill get the ball rolling.

Ovtcharov - Grunts too bloody much. Very unnecessary, its clearly a tactic to disrupt the opponent.

Zhang Jike - Just doesn't seem like a nice bloke. I mean idk, i don't know him personally, but he does come off as a bit of a grumpy guy. Also celebrates excessively. I LOVE emotions, but Zhang just comes off as an antagonizing ass!.

Wang Hao - "Chos" too god damn much.

Waldner - Arguably the best TT player ever, but comes off as really arrogant in any of the interviews i've seen or read abt.

You are joking, right!

Who is Jan Ove Waldner?

Just some guy who many people think was the best ever.

Two time singles World Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist. A central figure on the team that, for a while, ended Chinese dominance of the sport in the late 1980s through the mid 1990s.

Yan An. His game is ugly to watch. He stays as close as he can to the table and hits all the balls as hard as he can. Either in and wins the point or out and loses it. I hope he's not the future of table tennis. Don't like Wang Hao too much. "Bad" footwork, predictable tactics, forehand not that good. Werner Schlager, no grace in his moves, robotic. Lin gaoyuan, the most predictable player ever.

At first, yan an is still young and his game is based on him beeing impatient. that will change withing some years (i hope). believe it or not but zhang jike was also like this before. always wanted to loop the hell out of a ball when he shouldnt.

paellota · Dec 6, 2013

Oh, and I almost forgot Zhou yu. Ugliest game of all time. Same tactics as Yan an, but instead of forehand, backhand. Should be forbidden by the Geneva convention. I also hope he will never become one of the best. Fan Zhendong's game is also pretty close to the table and powerful, but he's able to do everything, change tactics, slow down his game, play further from the table, etc. He will anyway become number 1 in a few month from now.
