From 1988 to 1993 he was the Best!

A Ginius!!

Than J.M Saive was for 14 month the number one in the World Ranking !!

Since 1995 the chinese empire strikes back !!!

In moment are Samsunov, schlager , in a few month boll the best players in Europe!But same chinese players are better !!!
They have to much good players!!
Sowas it a few yaers with sweden:
Waldner, Persson,Appelgreen , Karlsson .
These men in a team are the best if seen .

Waldner isn't arrogant !!!

He is one of the best players of all time ,
Michael schumacher is the best driver of all time ,
and Ali is the greatest sportsman if seen for all time!!!

[Harnisch]

Noone TT-Player of this planet has won more titles!!!

Also can he say that he is best !!!

In his big time the chinese wasn't absents ,
sweden was better !!!

I do not know. Perhaps it is his indivdual way of behaviour.

Well, I believe arrogance is a very personal thing. Some guys might say he is arrogant, some might say he is funny, some might say he is just slef convinced. Well, maybe everyone is little right and wrong. So what !

He believes in himselve!
He was the greatest! (and he knows it)

Hi @ all,

I would say he is not really arrogant, because he also stressed that it’s partly not serious. But it’s true, he really is a genius (concerning table-tennis), although he is not the number one right now. And you have to be self-confident if you want to reach great goals.

I read an interview where he claims that all top players, say top 15, top 10 in the world are table tennis geniuses. I don't think he is arrogant. But he surely doesn't like to lose.

[James_for_Germany]

When did he say that? If it is a few years ago it would be ok to say things like that! He was the best and genious player, but he isnt it anymore....He was only in the quarter finals in Zagreb
I think Timo Boll would not say such things, he is quite to shay!

W says; Yes, I do have the natural talent. To be a top athlete, you have to be naturally gifted, or else you will never reach the peak........etc
Notwithstanding I like his style but not agreed with the above statment as I do strongly believe any person with any physical structure can achieve what he has been achieved but the criteria is to practice hadrer,keep focused during playing, utilize your intelligence ( use your wisdom more rather than your body) and love the Table Tennis( this gives you energy).
