I don't even have to click the link. I felt exactly the same way watching the highlights. The comeback was epic, but I would have been gassed if Hugo had lost that.

I like putting heavy topspin on the ball...

Hugo is probably the best South American player ever.
Don't think anyone can disagree with this. Edited by jackwong23 - 10/13/2017 at 2:24pm |

Very nice, the recording angle is very sweet to capture the players' movement. What kind of tournament is that? Thanks for sharing.

Actually there was a Brazilian guy in the late 50s/early 60s, 'Biriba' (Ubarici da Costa), who not only beat the current Japanese World champion (Tanaka, 4 times! and his predecessor as World champion, Ogimura ) when they toured Brazil (he was in his early teens), but at the 1961 World Championship he beat the reigning champion, Rong Guotuan (the first ever Chinese winner), causing a sensation. He was then 15 years old.

I could smell a bunch of posts comparing the levels of the elites in the 50-60s to those of current day.

Considering his obvious talent he should have continued to develop but apparently didn´t. I wonder why, do you know? Edited by TTslurp - 10/13/2017 at 5:45pm |

Biriba stop playing TT because he can't make any money with that, ironically I saw him this morning. He's a very nice old man.

I'm just saying that it is possible to disagree about Calderano being the best South American player ever; many people, including maybe jackwong23, are unlikely to have heard of Biriba, and his achievements deserve to be remembered.

The reason given by Zdenko Uzorinac in his book 'ITTF 1926-2001, TT Legends' is that Brazil failed to send a team to the '65 Worlds in Yugoslavia, and that 'Biriba,then twenty, was apparently indignant, and abandoned sports activity' - although he made a comeback later and won the Brazilian title again in 1980 at the age of 35. Perhaps yuri.saldon, you could ask him about his career?  Edited by zzzuppp - 10/16/2017 at 6:21pm |

"Hugo is probably the best South American player ever.
Don't think anyone can disagree with this. " Use hyperbole at your own risk. It always seems to come back to bite you in the ass. FdT
