Thanks for sharing.
Despite his age it's truly amazing how Waldner keeps on playing like this. His feeling of the ball is yet not matched by any of today's top players!

Man do I miss Waldner. Still has his awesome skills but unfortunately not *enough* to compete with this new generation of TT players.

Close match, though.

Yes.....Waldner misses the speed and flexibility nowadays, so he is no match for the top players.
But still...I really enjoy seeing him play.

Watching these legends play evokes amazement but at the same time a little bit of sadness in me. Their talent is still obvious, but as the bible says, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."

Watched the results already earlier and was thinking that I would have wanted to see the semifinal between Waldner and Xu Hui.. So thanks a lot for sharing this video

Waldner still got the amazing touch. He makes some unbelievable shots, even though he isn't moving so well anymore. I wonder how much that flash light disturbed him flicking when he had 10-9 in the fifth...

Legends..
Too bad they don't coach to at least reproduce what they have to the generation below them..

Hmm i guess they do that already. Maybe not in the picture but more on the background.
