What an exciting line up. The table tennis world is still buzzing from the recent world championships! Players are now in Japan getting ready for the World Tour! Will Ma Long maintain momentum or will Fan Zhendong gain revenge on the captain? Semi Finalists Xu Xin and Lee Sangsu will be looking to go that extra round. Japan's finest Jun Mizutani will be looking to find form. Mizutani conqueror Harimoto will is participating at the Japan Open he will be one to look out for! Germany's Timo Boll who took 2 sets of Ma Long has entered as the 6th seed. A lot of look forward to!

After winning the WTTC, I don't think Ma Long will care too much about not winning the Japan Open, nor do I think that FZD will feel like he avenged his loss in the WTTC by winning it.

When your record against someone on the world tour is 1-10, every victory counts and is better than a defeat.

I read in an interview with LGL that ML hates to lose any match irrespective of any opponent or tournament. Yes, he will be a little relaxed but he will still give his best to win !! Go Ma Long !!

yep Harimoto is playing. All the Japanese stars are here. Most of them will be in China next week as well for the China Open !!!!

Actually there are more Japanese players listed for the China Open than Chinese players !!!!


Japanese invasion, i think japan would took this chinese open seriously. i would like to see Kishikawa performance rather than mizutani jun.
