This is funny... When you count points from whole match Steger vs. Boll, you get: 42:51 ..So it was really lucky that Steger won, achieving 9 points less than Boll, hehe..

That's just what happens when you win sets by a large margin. It happens in table tennis and tennis all the time. I wouldn't call it luck.

That is a real big deal, but prolly not too surprising to Timo, who prolly saw this coming for a while.

Actually points don't really matter when it comes to winning a match. The 42-51 deficit just shows that Bastien had some major momentum while Timo played a consistent, but less quality game. He never stepped up his game which is the reason he lost. I say great for Bastien and luck had nothing to do with it.

Well who knows what happened when Steger won 15:13 that fourth game.. You never know howmuch luck could he have there..Is there any video we can watch ???
