Austrian Open 2018

[Loopadoop]

Miyu Nagasaki, 16, with a little more seasoning, looks like she will be right there with the other JNT top players.

Zhou Qihao OUT!
Lin Gaoyuan OUT!

Yay! Congrats to both Niwa and Yoshimura!
Now the winner between the two gets to lose to FZD.

 

[Garrison]

Timo winning round 1 in overtime of game 7 again, that means he will go to the final again.

 

[zeio]

Mizutani coming back strong from 1:3 deficit against Walther. Went to deuce in game 4.

Zhou Qihao OUT!
Lin Gaoyuan OUT!

Ah , again ...... I always have told my Idea that Lin gaoyuan is not a top player for china . Its really unfair to compare him with 4 golden player ( zhang jike , ma long , xu xin and fan zhendong ) . Even china's older players know that the younger generation lack something .... CNT has given Lin gaoyuan lots of chance .. Wow . I wonder if this losing were happening in young age of zhang jike and ma long what could happen ?? Maybe its our fault ... ...that has got accustomed so much to china's winnings or maybe the none chinese players got stronger ...

 

[ping fun]

It's official. ML has withdrawn from Austrian Open (Singles and well, Doubles).

If ml 's injury didnt get bether so why he participated ?? Does this participation have any positive effect on ranking ?!?!?! Seems not .

 

[ping fun]

Ma long is over, seems like all the hard work caused too many injuries, I guess it's normal, so, better not play than allways play limited, at least for the top players.

I think he will come back , Injury is part of the sport . Also they know how to cope with it . He is Ma long

 

[Garrison]

I think he will come back , Injury is part of the sport . Also they know how to cope with it . He is Ma long

Tell that ZJK

 

[Suga D]

What a day!

Boll nearly lost to Franziska and Gnanasekaran just eliminated Freitas.

Yes, it does. He needed these 2 stops to qualify for the grand finals, and he does now.

CNT members losing at the Open is not that unusual. They haven't really been that focused on the Tour, though that's changing now. But still, it's the majors that count.

Tell that ZJK

He nearly cameback and played almost 4 open if we count korean open too . And also his relationship with LGL was revealed to be fine and also some photos of his trainings came out too , so maybeeee another comeback will happen ... Atleast I hope ..

 

[mrk]

Yes, it does. He needed these 2 stops to qualify for the grand finals, and he does now.

He didn't need this tournament, he already has 5 entries which is enough.

Yes, she’s kept posting good results in Japan since winning Hopes 4 years ago.
Had some disciplinary problem at Elite Academy in the past but she’s got around to it and all she needs now is the international results.

My girl HeZJ will be on high demand as ITO rises. Go girl!
