XX did not always play singles this season. He sometimes played doubles and sometimes was arranged to play the fifth set while Shanghai lost before he played.
In singles, he beat Zhang Yudong(Jiangsu), Xia Yizheng (Shandong Weiqiao), Xu Ruifeng (Sichuan), Zhou Qihao(Anhui) and Yu Ziyang(Anhui). He lost to LGY(Shandong Weiqiao), Ma Te(Tianjin), Ren Hao(Shenzhen), Wang Chuqin (Bazhou).
In doubles, he paired with Cui Qinglei and lost to Jiangsu and Shandong Luneng.
In general Shanghai has not played well (3 wins and 6 losses). No news about XX's major injuries since he played German Open, Swedish Open and Grand Finals. He switched to DHS N301 blade and played the above tour events but changed again (not sure what blade) during CTTSL. Maybe he needs time to adjust to the new blade.
