      What I love about Waldner is that he seemed to pick the side where he wanted to play the ball, not the spin. He could place the ball where he wanted and mixed it up brilliantly, changing angles and disrupting the rival's rhythm all the time. The great majority of players will generally play every point to where the rival is, instead of where he will not reach. Even having a completely open table they will still play the ball to the rival because the spin dictates where they play. I think its just because it's very hard to match Waldner's talent and courage. 95% of the players are so untalented compared to him.

      He is like mohammad ali of table tennis. He tires up the opponent. The second last point the guy just fell to the ground. 😅😅😅

      My father used to practice in the same club as Waldner. He was older than Waldner and they all trained together. Even though Waldner was shorter than the table he had an exceptional skill and talent. So I would say he was born with a great ball sense. We have another gifted football player that has said that Waldner could have become a pro at any game that involves a ball.

      The new skyrocketing rising analogous sport of PICKLEBALL is reminding that : The current table tennis version of heavyweight 2.7gram balls is full range stupid. Must immediately, as soon as possible, apply new lightweight balls of 2gram or 2.5gram balls. Heavyweight balls fly too fast because air resistence can not effective slow down them. Too difficult to control heavyweight balls, and extreme difficult to catch fast heavyweight table tennis balls. It is the reason of why almost all table tennis beginers leave out teble tennis or do not want to try playing table tennis. Need atleast few years of training for beginers in order to play amateur table tennis games of heavyweight 2.7gram balls. IT IS THE ALL-TIME HUMAN HISTORY MOST STUPID CONDITION OF SPORT TODAY IN THE AGE OF BUSY LIFE. Who will pay few years of training to reach level of playing basic amateur table tennis games ?

      Look at the new skyrocketing rising sport PICKLEBALL : the Pickleball federation setup very logical scientific standard for pickleball balls : the pickleball balls have very reasonable very lightweight (in the context of distances in pickleball sport), pickleball balls even have holes in ball outer surface to decrease ball weight. All of them lead to the to result : the lightweight pickleball balls fly in air with ENOUGH SLOW SPEED, so that in the distances in pickleball sport, players have enough time to react to apply techniques and tactics and get funs. And because players can succeed to react, Pickleball is very easy for beginers quickly to play basic amateur games to get funs even without any training. Players must succeed to react to balls speed. It is the first condition for sport to be human sport. I see that in many societies today, there are even more commercial PICKLEBALL CLUBS than table tennis clubs. Everyone can easily quickly play amateur pickleball games for funs and communications. While it requires few years of training for beginers to play amateur table tennis games. It is obviously quite clearly stupid in table tennis. It affects table tennis equipment manufacturers (less new beginers, less markets), spectators (waste time to watch so much offgame time of picking up table tennis balls). The most reason : STUPID HEAVY WEIGHT OF CURRENT TABLE TENNIS BALLS.

      So if the international table tennis can not quickly come to consensus of applying new lightweight (2-2.5gram balls) table tennis balls, then TABLE TENNIS SPORT MUST GIVE UP MORE THEIR ROOM TO PICKLEBALL SPORT IN OLYMPICS, in order to regard audience by stopping wasting time of table tennis audience in bored table tennis matches with much offgame time of going picking up balls and less ongame time of playing table tennis. The Olympics must slash more room of table tennis sport, to give more room to pickleball sport in Olympics programs, if the international table tennis society can not quickly reach to consensus of applying new lightweight 2-2.5gram table tennis balls

      As far as athletes go, people who are the best at what they do, I think Waldner is the best ever. The control he has is impossible, imagine Ronaldinho and what he could do with a ball, even blindfolded, and any other player doing their thing, no-one has the control Waldner has. He reads the game like 4D chess. Feel free to disagree, and please give me good arguments for me being wrong.
