2 things guys..
1. Only Zhang Jike will be able to stop Ma Long this time.. Only him and noone else!

So thats it.. Xu Xin is without any chance against Zhang in such a big competition, unless .. unless .. you know what? I tell you..
My friend was on skype with Zhang and Zhang said that he is a gambler.. He admitted that he is kindoff addicted to it and because of that he is in big debts. In fact, he will play the chinese super league for another year for free - in order to pay his debts for gambling. So maybe if someone that he owes money will tell him to lose some match unexpectedly, he will have to lose it. Open your eyes, people, our sport is not that clean as we think.
Ma Long could beat Wang Hao easily in WTTC 2013, but he was told to lose. Noone can convince me that it was some tactics that Wang Hao used, thats just bullshit.. Ma Long did not fight, he was told to lose, so he lost. By who or why, I dont know, but there are forces behind that we just dont know.
Maybe too many bet at Ma Long, so some companies pulled some strings and there is the result.. Its just normal in any sport, just not really everyone is talking about it. You can see it on the guys, wether they try or not..
If Ma Long fights, he will be in the final. If Zhang fights, he will be in final. Its as easy as that..
But who will win, that is really hard to say
