Before today, Daniel was 4-0 lifetime against Rios. Darryl doesn't thrive against Rios' style full of extended rallies and consistent defense, Daniel loves to play that game.
Nandan losing was definitely unexpected.
Some players like to let their glue dry for hours or overnight before attaching it to the blade. Usually multiple layers. So they have to stay locked in a video surveilled room for hours or overnight? And who is sitting there monitoring that long?
And you'll probably still have tons of people saying that Chinese players are "robots", and players with "feeling" and "talent" will stay reserved for Europeans
