För någon vecka sedan publicerade China Daily en kortare intervju med Timo Boll under rubriken Questions & Answers:Reporter: Who do you think is the greatest table tennis player ever?
Boll: It is difficult to say. There are many ... Liu Guoliang, he won the most titles, the mixed, the doubles but his career was quite short. (Jan-Ove) Waldner was there for a long time but I think he had the advantage that the Chinese had a weak generation at that time. Kong Linghui is also a great player. For his style, his behavior, he is always a gentleman. Liu Guoliang had a very good serve and smash but it was not so attractive, but Kong Linghui's play was nice looking. I choose Kong Linghui.
