Fan Zhendong - Now World's no.4 - Photo by: ITTF
Past month showed two big events: The World Tour Grand Finals, and the first World Tour of 2014; the Hungarian Open.
Liu Shiwen and Xu Xin - 2014 World Tour Grand Finals Champions - Photos by: ITTF
Dubai has been the center of attention in january. The World Tour Grand Finals were combined with the Star Awards Night afterwards. Top seeds were Ma Long and Ding Ning.
The high level of the players resulted in surprising results on the first day. Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Gao Ning were knocked out in the first round by Kim Min Seok and Masato Shiono. Furthermore the event showed how small the differences are in the top 3: A long awaited rematch between Ma Long and Zhang Jike in the quarter final ended 4-3 and Ma Long kept this form until the final; there he lost 3-4 to the champion Xu Xin.
20 year old Zhao Yan from China surprisingly won against defender Seo Hyowon (4-3), but lost against Viktoria Pavlovich the next day. Pavlovich went on and became the only non-Chinese player in the semi finals. She then lost against Liu Shiwen, who beat Ding Ning in the final.
Daniel Habesohn and Liu Jia - 2014 Hungarian Open Champions - Photos by: ITTF
Christian Süss returned after an injury and became the top seed in Szombathely, Hungary. Li Jiao topped the women's entry list.
Only one of the top 4 seeds made it to the semi finals in the men's competition; Süss was beaten by Tristan Flore, Liventsov and Prokopcov also had to leave early. Eventually the final was a good fight between Daniel Habesohn of Austria and Germany's Steffen Mengel. Mengel raced into a 2-0 lead, but Habesohn kept calm and reversed the match with a 4-2 win.
The top seeded women posted a better performance; only Romania's Camelia Postoaca became an outsider in the semi finals. There she lost to the winner of the tour. Liu Jia, also Austrian, overcame Georgina Pota in the final after being 3-1 behind.
