As probably many of you I am sick of Samsonova, but unfortunately the final match between Timo Ball and Vladimir Samsonov ended with the unconditional German victory with the score (4-0), 11:8, 12:10, 11:6, 11:9. Тимо в последнее время играет выше всяких похвал, очень мало ошибается, что и позволило ему победить с сухим счетам по партиям. Timo recent plays is beyond praise, very little wrong, and that enabled him to win with a dry account of the parties.

LOL!

I am sorry but online translation has let you down!

The Russian version didn't say that the guy was "sick of Samsonov", it said he was "rooting for Samsonov". The verb "болеть" has two meanings, and one of them is "to be sick" but the other means "to root for" as in "going crazy about someone, being a fan of someone". Probably because in Russian "to worry about someone" has a version of "being sick about someone" and therefore that's how another meaning has developed.

Anyways, the guy was saying that he was rooting for Samsonov but unfortunately Timo was too good.

"Dry account" meant 4-0, that is, winning in straight games, leaving Samsonov "high and dry". Again, in this case "dry" means "having nothing". Another too literal online translation...

Also - the videos, unfortunately, are simply just the conversions of YouTube clips by TTCountenance (SoWhySoSerious). Nothing new there, alas!

Thanks anyway, buddy.
