Forgot to mention, at last round match between Weiqiao and Luneng on August 2, Ma Lin announced that he's formally retiring from all domestic competitions and this year's CTTSL will be his last. Earlier in December 2013, Ma Lin, along with Wang Liqin, already retired from CNT.

Waist injury is on of the worst ones. Hope he will get back soon.

Some thing about the new balls: if they broke that easy in training then there will be no lobs in match play. Because if someone lobs then the opponent will smash it with all of his power and the ball will blasts when hits the table. So the point will be played again.
Maybe players will use drop shots more!

Wrist injury is on of the worst ones. Hope he will get back soon.

It's waist injury, not wrist.

Stupid logic. That should never look that way. They must produce better quality balls for sure. And the thing is they play with a lot of balls in SL, I don't know will it be the same in finals?

Ma Long just posted on facebook:

The rumours are true, i have injured my back badly in training and I have been ruled out for the rest of the Chinese Super League season. I am extremely disappointed that I can't help my team to victory tonight, but I am still confident they can win and make the final! ‪#‎TeamNingbo‬!

The two-toned ball doesn't seem to affect the players too much. No flip/attack on every serve. There are still errors on serves returns.
And as expected, it's very nice to see the slow motions especially on the serves.

I wonder if Timo Bolll will play

First match for Bayi :

Fan Zhendong 3-2 Hao Shuai

 

[Ma long the best]

so sad !

 

[perniciousnc]

just woke up. can only watch when i get to my office loll. please post more updates!!i hope this injury won't affect ma long long term.it could be that dimitrij won against ningbo, and then zjk's team won against fzd's, and then zjk lost to dimitrij in the final. then zjk is screwed. but zjk definitely needa stands all these pressure that he built for himself from losing consecutive times.however imo it is actually harder for dimitrij to win against the second generation (given they are fighting dimitrij from the losing ground) like yan an, fzd, zy. dimitrij has advantages playing against the big 3 though zjk xx ml, since the big 3 have lots of pressure in winning a foreigner.

Now, it's Zhang Jike vs Xu Chenhao.
No Timo Boll for the moment.
