It has been really long time since i watch games either live or the reply on YouTube!
Not sure if the defeat of FZD by DO is a surprise or not, but it is nice to see those Chinese players losing against non Chinese players, i really felt like giving up to watch table tennis since 2-3 years ago as i know that Chinese players will always win any tournament they play in, so that i stopped watching, even this tournament of German Open is still won by Chinese, but the most important thing is that a player No.1 has been defeated no matter his form, well done, Dima, and i really wish that Timo is keep fighting longer and get some titles in the way.
Now about Pro's equipment, i really feel it is all promotion from manufacturers than a truth, i never read any Pro equipment being as 1000% sure it was mentioned, even if you see the shape and the color of blades in their hands it is still not sure, i mean i keep hearing that Ma Long for example is using a way way different DHS Hurricane blade than what we can buy online, so it is like all Pro equipment is the legit very original and another class very very expensive while the copies of those in markets are just similar but never the same, i hope i am wrong about it.
