Outcome was expected, but great game indeed.
Timo isn't definitely not as fast anymore, but he showed he is still a great player.

I agree 100%
It looked to me that Timo has to work much harder now while Truls seems to be able to come up with the most crazy shots with ease.

Great match. Truls is of course more athletic at this point but Timo is still excellent too at 41. Last season he was,struggling a bit with injuries but the last 2 months or so he has been in great shape again considering his age getting wins against lin Yun ju and lin gaoyuan.

its crazy. Timo is definitely slower than Truls and doesn't hit the ball as hard, but he wins points on having amazing technique and tactics.

That what makes this such an amazing sport!!! There's so many different ways to win a point!!! I'm 56 and you never stop learning!! But you can play and match your skills with younger opponents and still come out on top,just wish I hadn't waited till my late 30's to start playing Table tennis,now i couldn't imagine life without table tennis!!!

It really is amazing. It's the only sport I can think of where pure athleticism as not even a top 3 factor in overall success. I picked the sport up again when I was 32. Wish i would have started playing again much sooner!

I believe a lot of people take up Table tennis later on in life as we did !! There's so many ways to play!! The great thing is it doesn't matter which way you choose to play as long as you enjoy it!!!

Timo is unique. I can watch him play every day and twice on Sundays.
Timo is such a cognitive player. You can clearly see his table tennis IQ every time. He plays so smart and adapts to every style. He exploits weaknesses with tactics. Truls is great but 1-dimensional.

Truls with his extremely rare and creative playstyle is 1-dimensional? Can you elaborate what you mean?
