Each period had his best player
For the way we play TT today, Waldner seems to be the most creative and best player. But table tennis had many different periods. So the time before anybody played sandwich rubbers Victor Barna was the best player.
The period afterwards had seen many best players, one who influenced Table Tennis of today very much was Ogimura, who started the good Swedish area as a trainer.
Also to mention are two Chines players who were the kings of their time: Guo Yuehua and Jiang Jialiang.
But from the point of today Waldner seems to be the best. Let us wait for the future and the changes in TT.
