Timo is probably one of the fairest, kindest, most talented and hardworking athletes out there. Seeing him still win international tournaments after 25-ish years of professional career literally brings tears of joy to my eyes. Well deserved, what a legend.

[starking]

At the age of 42, still able to beat someone 20 years younger than him. What's more impressive is that Boll did it coming from behind. This really proves that age is just a number.

[amitbhagra]

It gives immense happiness seeing Timo win at this juncture of his career. Legend for a reason 😊

[guillaumelenormand]

What a come back ! Timo Boll is the perfect example of the fighting spirit : never give up... I love this player !

[KarlZundel]

Feels so good to see 42 year old Timo Boll play at this level! He has beaten 20 year old world no. 11 Harimoto, from 2:3; 3:8 down, that is a remarkable comeback! Truly Magic Boll! Congrats!!🎉🎉🏆❤🇩🇪

[johnlau]

Glad We can see a good quality version here. Long Live Timo boll!!!

Timo Boll = The model of table tennis. At 42 years old, he can still outperform someone two decades his junior. I'm so happy!

[TTDPocketRocket]

Man what a game. Harimoto is a beauty to watch when he is in full attacking mode like this. What a player. Peaking at the right time for the Olympics. Despite his great form, Timo fully fit and in top form too, manages to win. Can't believe what he is doing at the age of 42. Mental!

[rokpogorelcnik]

"Wunderkind" Timo Boll.. At that age.. Just amazing...

[xain]

Timos world rank top 10-20 comeback incoming. incredibble performance. Still 42 years and he can handle top10 players who are 20 years younger. Its unbelievable. True Legend.

[tianporn]

Has Timo’s game changed recently? He’s staying close to the table and hitting bangers off the bouce. It’s quite spectacular to see.

[aunggabe]

Timo is one of a kind. He lives in his own planet with dignity, grace, love and peace. man of honor.

[PauloOliveira]

Comecei a jogar Tenis de Mesa por causa desse monstro, Timo Boll! E ele continua arrebentando nos seus 42 anos! Impressionante😮

Parabéns meu ídolo, você merece demais🇧🇷🇩🇪

[olumideadebayo]

That edge point at 5-9 in game 6 was the decider

[pshanying]

Congratulations, Timo. Excellent performance.

[aliakseisaldatkin]

6 points in row in 6th set is something

[Curcuma]

bravo Timo Boll ! Je suis français, et vous êtes le plus grand champion de tennis de table de tous les temps.
Vous êtes un exemple de sportivité, de force mentale pour tous les jeunes.

[ibgiydj]

Winning a tournament with a wild card...OMG... How f****g incredible is that! Only Timo is able to pull that off! He is becoming a legend for real!

[Wisstihrwas]

That fh flick at 7:44 while being in the 6 set and 8:9 down really shows how good of a player Timo really is. With this point he not just equalled in score, but made a mental statement! Im there and aggresive! It really marked the turning point of this match!!

Not thats its one of the most difficult strokes in all of tt. But also to pull it off in this moment, when behind, against a equally skilled oponnent while you're under pressure and 42 years of age!

Timo is a true legend! Outstanding what he does in table tennis. Besides that he looks more agile and quick than the last couple of years. His reflexes, fh to bh transition and his overall read on the game are top notch!

On the other hand one can clearly see harimoto analysed his style and changed a lot. He can still just bh drive the ball and play fast pace 'like the woman tt'. But he worked hard on his fh topspin close to the table and his topspin counters! Props to his coaces for sensing errors in his game and adapting to the new tt. I really look forward to what he can achieve with his new style ❤

8:09 - What a brilliant dropshot to keep Timo in the rally! Truly world class state of mind and masterful technical execution at a key moment like that! WHAT A LEGEND!
