A career spent traversing the globe and beating the best players in his sport ended with a modest league match for his club Sparvagen against BK Rekord in Stockholm.
In his final outing-more than 38 years after he made his debut in elite Swedish table tennis as a 12-year-old-Waldner won one singles match and lost another before being heralded for his achievements by the Stockholm crowd.
