I hope mizutani or timo would win this one..

**M51** · 11-12-2013

ZJK hasn't canceled yet? Then he'll probably forfeit by quarter-finals...

Ok, joking aside, he's the obvious favorite here (assuming he's in good shape injury-wise), followed by Fan Zhendong, Dima, Timo and Vladi.

That being said, go Dima!

**pong4lyfe** · 11-12-2013

Hopefully Zhang Jike wins the whole thing!!! But I feel that Fan Zhendong will be his greatest challenge after seeing Fan's great shape at the Polish Open

**Sali** · 11-12-2013

Fan Zhendong is really great at this moment. It seems winning is piece of cake for him. I saw him at Polish open, after easy win with Kenta he just went to sleep on the bench, then stretched for 5 minutes and win the final.

**Alborz** · 11-12-2013

Zhang Jike or Fan Zhendong will win this one. Choosing one between these two is hard but i hope Zhang Jike to win it. He needs to get back to international events.

**Arlen** · 11-13-2013

Zhang Jike will win hands down. He'll probably Dima or Fan in the finals.

**zjkfanforever** · 11-13-2013

Main Draw is already out: http://www.ittf.com/competitions/tes...ID=2258&rnd=64

Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong will not meet in the final. They'll meet at quarterfinal if both of them could go that far.

**Sali** · 11-13-2013

First half is much more powerfull then the other. Jike, Fan, Chuang, Zhou. In the second only Ovtcharov is in a good shape now.

Maybe Shiono could make some surprizes again

**Arlen** · 11-13-2013

Hmm Timo's still 2nd guess they didn't take the new World Rankings...

Good point, Shiono could definitely cause some upsets. Would be great to see him go far.

**johndol** · 11-14-2013

I would be very interested to see how dima fare against the chinese this time, let see of he really can become a serious threat to the chinese

Fan vs Vladi at them 2nd game,will be a huge one!

**zjkfanforever** · 11-15-2013

Anybody know why in the first round Zhang Jike is playing ASSAR Khalid EGY who was knocked out by KIM Donghyun KOR in the second stage of pre. round? Is he a lucky loser? Is it because YOSHIDA Kaii JPN withdraws from the competition or it's just a clerical mistake?

**zjkfanforever** · 11-15-2013

I see that Zhang Jike gets 44% of the votes here. But some Chinese table tennis fans suggest that "Never bet on Zhang Jike in small competitions, but always bet on him in big competitions."
