[guybr50]

well we all know jan ove waldner is count as one of the greatest blocker ever, if not the best!
So my question is, which one of his non stopping amazing blocks is the best he has ever produced?

in my opinion, the block of Waldners life was this one:

Haha that's great! Waldner is the king of these "stop playing" shots

 

[ranniely]

Timo is like, "wait, what?!"
I love this clip, bah who am i kidding. I can't get enough of it

 

[Atwood]

thats great. "yeah, i knew EXACTLY where you were going to hit that"- waldner to boll

 

[abhay]

He's like - " play it fast kid, i need to catch a flight soon"

One needs to be incredibly confident to do something like this this, i mean it s just cocky, but also it s just what made waldner so awesome to watch incredible.

no shits were given that day.

I have thought long and hard about this clip! It is completely crazy! Waldner seems to predict instantly where Boll is going to place the ball. He is so casual about it! I wonder how much luck is involved and I would like to ask Waldner himself about this shot. I think its one of the best sporting shots of all time! Exceptional!

Waldner actually does this type of shot against Liu Guoliang if I remember right.. Does anyone have the youtube link to this?

Thanks for sharing!

That one is great because it looks so confidently effortless. There is another one I will find if I have the time in the next few days

I think the one Dan is refering to is from 2000 wtttc final against china

maybe this one? point starts at 1:27 or so

Terrific blocking by Waldner all through that match.

Haha yes this one is defently the 2nd best block i think ive ever seen from him. Block it waldner style!!

 

[ttmonster]

waldner is a such a genius , you can never know which was the greatest block he has hit in competition play , forget about practice. I guess the only option to ask him . Matt ... Dan any takers for this question for your next interview with waldner

 

[snotvod]

I think Waldner is related to

Harry Callahan

No talk, just superior action

You don't assign him to murder cases, You just turn him loose.

 

[Pongfinity]

Haha just can't get enough of watching this point! Gets better each time you watch Boll's reaction to the shot is hilarious

 

[Sali]

2:33 maybe this is not exaclty the block, by anyway shot nice to share

Great video. Thanks.

Waldner had too many great blocks to count or judge which was best. Many are not on video. He was an artist.
