Table Tennis Player Is The Cock Of The Walk After Hitting This Winner
So first of all, I've really wanted to use the phrase "cock of the walk" in a headline. Now that I've found a clip that fits the bill, I'm going to shoot my shot.
But talk about being a cocky bastard. The Anton Kallberg fella has quite the set of nuts on him to pull this one off. That's the type of shot that you need to be SURE isn't going to get returned. You try to pull that one off and it gets smashed right back in your face? That's a brutal one to come back from. The type of point that continues to haunt your thoughts for a while after the fact.
Anton Kallberg has never heard the idea of "risk vs reward". All he knows is reward. He knows that it's match point, and that the audience came out to see a show. He's going to give the people what they want, and finish this one like the cheeky little bugger he is. I'd love to see him try that move out against some real competition, though. You go for a shot like that against someone like The Hammer, and your ass is grass.
