Ma Long vs Liang Jingkun

ZJK 4:2 Shang Kun. ZJK slowly but surely getting into groove. But there will be no fangirls in Dusseldorf to cheer him!!

ZJK without an army of fangirls? Impossible. Düsseldorf will be full of ZJK fangirls.

If you really believe that, you really need to see how the Chinese cheer their players on tour. Just not as many.

Another shocker ML lost to ZY 2:4. ML seems to have lost his invincible touch

Yes. I am not sure he ever quite had it - he is really a great front runner, but the real issue is how he faces adversity. If you watch the LJK match, he was up 7-1 in the first game and lost that 10-12. After that, he lost the next game, and suddenly, both LGL and QZJ had to coach him.

Zhang Jike vs Shang Kun

ZJK simply exploded in game 6. Before that he seemed to be toying around lazily. He was also moving around well. Looks like he is past his worst injury wise.

Xiao Zhan gives the "secret weapon" to Wang Manyu... -.-

Haha more seriously, change of equipment from DHS N766 (all-wood) with Hurricane white sponge to Viscaria with Hurricane blue sponge (new ball effect and Xiao Zhan advice..??)
Some women players seems to have switched to Hurricane blue sponge with the new ball (Zhu Yuling, K.Ishikawa, H.Hayata...)

you can't compare the World Tour with the World Championship! I visited the World Cup 2014 in Düsseldorf and even there were around 50 chinese fans. All had the same jacket und shirt and some girls created signs with "Zhang Jike, marry me".

The real hype started after the Olympics 2016. I predict there will be even more than 2014!

Highlights for the doubles..

Or the full match..

XX is really losing power. His killer FH loop is not as consistent. I guess with the plastic ball his FH loop is easily counter hit these days.

YZY seems to play like FZD and LGY with powerful BH quick push. I guess this is the main style with the new ball. Lots of hitting. Back to the old days before two wing loop.

[Michal_Z]

One of the closest matches I ever seen

Why is the video quality so low? Fps problem also it seems.

Waiting eagerly for WTTC now. ML, XX and ZJK all are vulnerable based on recent form. On the other hand, Dima and Mizutani are peaking. Koreans will pack a punch as well. Koki & Kenta lurking around as dangerous opponents. FZD is the only CNT guy I am sure cannot be defeated by non CNT guy. Rest assured WTTC will be a good watch !!!

Seems that original stream was captured via some screen recorder, and that is why the video is so low quality.
I cannot do any better, sorry..

Ma Long vs. Zhou Yu

 

[TTHopeful]

Thanks Michal

 

[TTLondon2012]

Xu Xin vs Lin Gaoyuan

 

[fireflies]

Surprisingly, zhang jike beat fangbo. He suppose to get the actual skills back

 

[TTHopeful]

Will the top flight players meet in the warm up? Zjk vs fzd?
