Well predicted sir. Now let's see how long it lasts... ;)

Interesting. I had hoped to see Liu Yi excel in that role. Perhaps Ma Te will go further, he must be quite spectacular, as I can't imagine a junior chopper overcoming Fan Zhendong!

Ma Te... I Haven't seen this player before, and yet he's made the top 10 to qualify for the next round. I'm curious to see a video of this unfamiliar individual. Does anyone know if he's a junior or senior player?

It's very possible. However, have you taken into account any bonus points Xu Xin may have which are about to expire? That could be difficult to figure out. We shall have to wait and see. Either way, it's my firm belief that Ma Long will push his way back to the top this year and hold that...

I also think the ball is number 7 :)

Rally at 3:39 Always a pleasure to watch Oh Sang Eun's smooth strokes.

It would be really great to see Kenta Matsudaira get through a couple of rounds. We haven't seen much from him in singles lately, and Koki Niwa is playing doubles with Seiya Kishikawa more often now that Mizutani is focusing on singles & stopped playing doubles :(

Size has been fixed, thanks to Dan. Did you know Iveta Vacenovska is the first woman from the Czech Republic to reach the final in the tour's 16 year history. In fact, she's the only European born woman to reach an open singles final since 2010! What do you think can be done to change the...

Following another fantastic episode in the World Tour, I have prepared a collection of statistics from the event. This year's German Open was stated by Dan to have the highest entry in the tour's history. I'm not sure whether that's true, but it certainly didn't have the most matches, not even...

I'm looking forward to doing the stats for this event. Largest entry in the tour's history!!

Thanks for your commentary Gavin. It's always great to hear from a player's perspective. You pick up on so much more than John, and your voice doesn't annoy me like his does. :p A tournament with yourself and Matthew Syed commentating would be fantastic. Knowledgeable voices are something the...

Australia was present in Teams as well as Individuals, men's and women's... they couldn't have been any more present. :p Perhaps you were too focused on the Beach Vollyball...

Gold - China Silver - Japan Bronze - Korea Republic

Hi Mikael, A friend recommended this place to me: http://www.its-mitaka.co.jp/ I haven't been there before, but intend to when I travel to Tokyo. Hope that helps your quest. Cheers, ttGuru

I think Jun Mizutani will win the World Tour Japan Open 2012. With flying colors no less!

Good morning Michal_Z Those two wins against Joo Se Hyuk were very surprising for many viewers. I did not see the match, so am not sure if Joo was injured or if Chuang was playing fantastic. However, his record against Joo before the 2012 World Championships is 0%. So I suppose my question is...

Regarding this match in particular, Ma Lin was heavily affected by the point at 9-9 in the first game. He claims the ball touched Oh's shirt during the rally, but the point was given to Oh, who then won the next point & first game. This distraction gave Oh confidence, and it took Ma Lin a while...

Chen Qi - "Universal Dragon Of Fire, cannot be destroyed. Once summoned the game ends instantly and your opponents lose" LOVE IT! he's the coolest Chinese player by far :cool:

I still think this is the best match of 2012 so far. Closely followed by Monteiro's match with Boll.

Great info, thanks! Have a look over the Euro & Asian events again to rectify the double input. Also, unfortunately... the New Zealand qualifiers from the Oceania event were replaced with Vanuatu players thanks to the NZOC.
