if Ma Long faces Wang Hao in semi-final it will be really hard for him to beat WH but i'm sure if it happens ML will destroy WH !
XX have a easy way in to semi-final but if he face ZJK it will be 50/50 battle.
maybe ZJK loss to Fan Zhendong in earlier rounds.
overall i think Ma Long will win the WTTC.

In my opinion, WH is not going to reach the semi final. He will be beaten before by Yan An. I bet the final is going to be Xu-Ma

Let's hope Fan Zhengdong beats Zhang Jike, then the WTTC will get really interesting, because the non-chiense players will really have a hard time facing them. I think if the chinese get beaten, it will be by someone they didn't expect it from, because they're less prepared, like it was nearly in 2011 Bojan against Ma Long. It is just a shame that vladi is facing Ma Lin, his least favorite chinese player, I think. However, Ma Lin is not the Ma Lin of 4 years ago and Vladi has reached his best form I can remember. It is also a shame Timo and Mizutani will play against each other before playing the chinese, now they cannot both challenge them. However, I am rooting for Timo, if he plays his best, he is really a threat to the chinese, he's a bit unlucky to meet the best chinese player first, Ma Long. If a chinese player wins, I hope it will be Ma Long

Well... Yan An being in the same part of the draw will certainly make Ma Long's life tougher. There's also Koki Niwa who beaten him once. Bojan Tokic had also played well against him, not to mention Wang Hao so if The Machine is not at 100% physically and mentally, he may struggle early.

I'm glad ZJK dropped to no.4.... and that Xu Xin went up to no.1. He should find Xu Xin easier to deal with than Ma Long, plus he avoided Yan An :rolleyes:

Heh, have to say I agree with this too :p Altough from recent matches Xu Xin seems to have the upper hand against Zhang though :( Hopefully Zhang will rise to form and perform well, like he used to before his post-Olympic losses!

Yeah.... The WTTC would be much more entertaining with ZJK in his finest form :) For the time being... fans can only hope he will survive through quarter/semi-final hahaha.

This time every body eye on Ma Long, Xu Xin and Zhang Jike, remember 10 years ago in Paris, Werner Schlager won the single tittle although he was not the favorite at that time, will this time an European player repeat same history?
