I feel absolutely ashamed how disrespectful the comments below towards Karakasevic are. He is one of the legendary players in the world! He's got fatal injure in 2013 or 2014, but he was tough enough to come back to this stage!! His BH is still superb and genious. J.O. Waldner said in the past that, "if he (Aleksandar) quit drinking, I would not be able to beat him". But time has past. More people do not know or understand what he left and is showing to this current tabletennis world. I felt so happy to watch him and his BH again. Thanks Aleksandar, what a great come-back!! And those who spactate table tennis, DO LEARN THE HISTORY, DO RESPECT PLAYERS. If not, please fade away from our table tennis culture.
Well said. 100% agreed.
Hello from serbia :)
absolutely true, also you see that karakasevic really has the control over the rallies he won, but of course a younger player from china like ma long will beat him. But the ball placement and control is insane, well appreciated :)
Let's not forget that Kara at his peak beat Ma-Long's coach Liu Guliang in the 95 world championships and it wasn't even close.
Yep he made clear way for Waldner to take Championship.. becouse Waldner never beat in his life Liu Guliang
The outcome was clear before it started, but I am amazed with how well Karakasevic played for his age, especially against THE Ma Long!
Bearin exactly what I wanna say
Kara's footwork is to stay on foot 😂😂😂
he is a trash.
@@user-kp3ci8ok1z it looks like it's more about you than about him.
@@user-kp3ci8ok1z he have around 45 year no trash for he's
Otto @pongfinity
Show some respect he is a legend.. Can u beat him??
TimoBoll: Living Legend!
Vladimir Samsonov: Fading myth
Karakasevic: re-activated fossil
Jokes apart; Karakasevic and Kreanga are old. They can't play like they used to but their BH is a treat to watch , even at their age!!
Karakasevic beat the top Chinese player of his era in a WTTC match.Something your ''legend'' has never done.He may be a good salesman for Butterfly rubbers but he is far from a legend.
Dick N. Ormous , karakasevic ‘era’ was long gone. I agree that Timo boll might be biased on Butterfly products but his style has not faded away. Probably one of the reasons why he is still world ranked no. 10.
@@patela21 One of the reasons may be that he is backed by the most powerful European TT team and he is the poster child for the biggest TT company getting a hell of money and resources while most European players struggle to make ends meet.
His style has faded away but it suits the concept of Butterfly's spinny loop nonsense that has infected most Western amateur players.Just get a tenergy and try making spin with your arm that's what Butterfly preaches.
Dick N. Ormous , never was a butterfly user myself and least bothered about their marketing strategy. My comparison between karakasevic and Timo is purely based on their playstyle. Karakasevic still has his unique close grip backhand stroke, which worked him wonders in celluloid era where spin had more importance over speed. Where as, Timo adapted well to the plastic ball and adjusted his footwork accordingly. His technique ranks him up, not the powerful european team. Emerging players look up to him as a role model due to this very reason not coz he is butterfly sponsored.
@@patela21 Boll can not be a role model for Europeans,the whole German team moved to his city of residence to accommodate him while most Europeans have to move to Germany, leaving their homes and friends cause other countries have much lower level of competition to train against.
Besides,his style and technique caused lots of injuries since the age of early 20's.
The hype is strong on Boll but he never delivered in big competitions.Maze with his terrible technique won a WTTC bronze in 2005 beating Wang Hao while Boll got a bronze in 2011 quite inconsequentially.
He was just lucky to be born in Germany with half of Europe devastated after the fall of communism.
absolute legend, karakasevic. The rallies he won are just pure ball control and placement, so much feeling. It‘s so good to see him playing, always a pleasure. Even Ma long can‘t handle these balls. Legend
This makes me feel so old, as I remember watching Karakasevic's father play before Aleksandar was born back in the early 1970's
Not sure his father taught him to play as he was a pen-holder.
Wow!! You win
Schurbeck?
@@KC-gy5gq Yes, I saw Dragutin Surbeck and Anton Stipanjic as well.
@@Rog5446 that's really some time. Salute to you.
In interview, Aleksandar said that his father did not push him to play or train, and that he never reached his full potential. Another factor is his smoking and drinking. Still pure talent
Happy to se Karakasevic once again
Forehand 0 backhand 100
Cool exaggeration!! Lol
never seen ma long so nervous, playing vs one of the europe's finest
On one recent interview of ML, the reporter said to ML "Kara has won Liu Guoliang in WTTC 1997, You are very young at that time. What did you do at that time?" ML said"Just watch the TV live to see how Liu was beaten :)"
Kara playstyle remembers me of one of my local old guy.. damn so troubling .
Brat moj coa kao da igra sa mnom
Kara is always playing for a beer.
Da Je Sve ovo Sto je Karakasevic Promasio ostalo na stolu ... ovo je kako on Kaze Ulicarski Stoni tenis koji remeti koncepcije modernog stonog tenisa ... jako lepa zamisao ..... da je samo manje gresio ...... bio bi bolji rezultat ....
The quality of this match is much better compared with others recorded in the same stadium
Yes, very interesting to see oldschool tricky style against perfectly executed modern offensive style. And that the tricky style had its shot. Impressive performance of Alaxandar.
Alexander may look awkward against Ma long, but sure, if he play against you, He will completely destroy you all..
100% agree on that !
I think you can see quite well how age and the changes in modern table tennis have affected Karas performance. The games is very spinney and especially very fast, even when compared to ten or twenty years ago. Karas got Lots of trouble on the receive and also struggles to bend the game to his own pace. Still love to see his magic tho, even though against Ma he's simply outclassed
The human backhand
Malong always give the ball to forehand side
Smart
Karakasevic is an extreme player. Amazing backhand and probably the worst forehand there is in profesional scene
Nah his forehand isn't that bad he's just old now.
Karakasevic and Kreanga are the most loved BH players. But their FH is not too bad though. The change from Celluloid to Poly ball might have worsened their Forehand I believe.
Most eastern players had a better backhand than forehand e.g Kreanga,Mazunov, Primorac,Korbel.Samsonov etc.
respect
5:24 , we knew the serving rule
Karakasevic is a great player, but against Ma Long he's just outclassed.
R128! Was Ma Long playing in a qualifying match?
his backhand is dominant btw how old is he? i hope he can play as long as he has a power energy
44
Backhand slwomo @ 3:09 is amazing!
Good game but interesting how he was shown how much weaker house fh is than his bh.
The best player.. I like it
Calm'est play against Ma Long, Karakasevic played like he plays with his random friend, not the best TT player in history :)
And 3:07 reminds of Kalinikos Kreanga!
But his serve was really just a cherry on top. Like he is playing with a kid ahhahah
Old school not bad
Is that Adam Bobrow ommenatating? :O
I think we all knew the result of this match before watching it...
i saw an 11-0 coming
Fix the description please
Is he a senior champion?.
Had he spirit when he played? I dont think so
이분 아직도 현역이네요? 어릴때 보던분인데 반갑습니다.
One day Karakasevic will win the olympics and dethrone Ma Long... mark my words.
4:29
lol this playstyle is like that one old guy at every club. Classic backhand side spin serve and chooses to use backhand on forehand balls.
Do you even know this guy? Definitely not that one old guy at the club, unless your club is amazing lol
@@marounnader7991 it's just about the way he plays, not about the level of play
Maybe like the one old guy you never won against, never will, and you never know why 😁
@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN , yes, he is very good. But not as famous as Ma Long. I am just joking around.
Karakasevicu svaka čast za povratak, al smanji malo pivce i hranu, srčka će te strefiti :)
Goat
Is he still playing lol. He must be 50 yrs.
Same age as Samsonov.
his play style actually works, just need more consistency
Ma long's backspin serves carried almost 50% of the points lol
Such a difficult serve to read, looks the same no matter what spin
Boll had problems too with Ma Long's serves. Watch the match between these both at the WTTTC final in Halmstad 2018
@Rambojan123 well he practices with ma long all the time so it would be easier for him - and destroyed is an overstatement haha
@rambojan: maybe you should check out the head to head record between the two
Ma long the best player
His waist size is equal to one half of the table and he doesn't care about the other half
love old daddy
wow when Karakasevic was leading 4-2 in the first game i actually thought he could win the whole match but the asian guy proved to be too strong in the end
@darko markovic yes, the one in red t-shirt
Cause the Asian guy is basically one of the greatest players of all time.
@@travelator3035 , you mean the small guy with the black hair? He looked as if he tried very hard.
@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN , I know 😁 that is called irony..
@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN , because thread opener described the game Karasevic against an asian guy 😂 Who t f is Karasevic??
선수인데도 저렇게 팔로만 치는 분이 있었다니..
저도 그렇게 생각했는데 상대분 나이가 44세시라고.. 삼소노프가 대단한 거라고 생각합니다
Talented dinosaur. Everyone now has a forehand and a backhand. Karakasevic, if he had a decent forehand, could have achieved so much more.
He had, and he has a decent forehand. If not drinking and smoking like hell, infamously even between his games, he could surely achieve much more.
Easy
a bit of a mismatch
Karakasevic@43 > Ma Long@43
Karakasevic is till 18 years old without a proper trainers.. he is selfmade.. when you want to say something bad think about it
Karakasevic: ok lets play!!!!!! oh wait vs Ma Long?...... I... I forgot to play.😄😄😄
Kara is amazing. I have seen him live. Unfortunately Ma Long has played too many unconventional chinese grandpas to fall to Kara.
no rallies. much off-game time to pick up balls. BORED SHOW ! All because of heavyweight balls.
Karakasevic don't play forehand 😂
AK is too old and relies on his backhand only. Sorry, but no chance against the world's best.
Aleksander needs to work on moving his feet
BoiledPlums he’s too old
@@uraki-xm5ew ...for all this s***
Haha learn.
At least his BH is better 😉
You really think his backhand is better than ma long's???
Ahahaha each serve of ma long was illegal. Ball hidden by head in 100% of the time and in 85% with the body too.
If only Kara is physically fit.
This guy's style definitely make Ma Long uncomfortable
I wouldn't say that he's a legend and Ma just enjoyed playing him. You can see how comfortable he was in the last game.
You need a new video editor, because the cuts are horrible
his time has pass a long time ago
Easy peasy
AK only play with pig in the past, and then this time he meet a real player.
GOT
Goat?
Goatee?
Game of Thrones?
Daenarys dies. Sorry
@@Fakeslimshady Bad trolling. I'm up to date with GoT and she's fine (except for that army of the dead at her gates issue).
If the match was only of backhand then ma long wil have not win the match.
If the match were only with forehand then Kara would not even get a point xD
佘盛煬中國男子乒乓球隊運動員☺️😊🙂🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳
Katastrofa :(
2nd
Kara needs some athletic training, he is just to slow.
He already was in his Best shape, he plays fot fun now
Think that Karakasevic is the heaviest player of this world Championship. so slow, terrible footwork.
because he is old, that's all
I am sure he is still able to kick asses of most old table tennis farts his age though. And your ass too by the way. Back in Karakasevic's time not all TT players were great all-round athletes, there were fat ones and scrawny ones and non-existent foot work ones, the TT pro community was very diverse. Up until the China domination era.
You are forgetting that he's playing the GOAT. Dude still eats players all over Europe for breakfast with his wrist and bh alone. Feel free to look up his recent matches
@@michciu1713 I imagine the extra 30 pounds on his bellly don't help much either
This guy is a 30% player!forehand 0 and correct backhand form 30%! and of course an easy to chew for Ma Long!And most strange of all!! one type of Serve only!!
Most important for serve: to be short.
Who the hell is this old man
A legend!
wow when Karakasevic was leading 4-2 in the first game i actually thought he could win the whole match but the asian guy proved to be too strong in the end
