Sharath Kamal beats Waldner again!

A Sharath Kamal beat Table Tennis legend Jan Ove Waldner again on this weekend at the German (Bundesliga) Table Tennis league.

Facing Waldner in the 3rd and crucial singles tie, Sharath prevailed 11-5, 11-5, 7-11, 12-10

Waldner was about to make a terrific comeback but Sharath was determined to close out the match in the fourth game. Thus Sharath's team S V Werder Bremen beat Fulda Maberzell 3-2 and kept its hopes alive of advancing to the play off round. Werder Bremen coach Cristian Tamas was full of praise for Sharath for containing the sleeping giant, Waldner, who is no longer active on the International circuit.
