You can't blame me if he wants to do it in 5, 6 or 7 - lol!

Wow Hugo serving backhand. He really has taken the advice of the Chinese and coaches to heart.

To me that is a done deal.

It's pretty much a done deal. Lim Jonghoon eliminates Xu Xin from the China Open and the Japan Open or whatever the next Open Xu Xin was going to play in was.

I am fairly sure he beat Kilian Ort 4-1 as well.

Xu Xin down 1-3. Upset alert!

When Fan goes Nitro, it is amazing to watch. You get short lulls followed by blinding table tennis (two-winged super looping) that mere mortals can only admire.

Li Yun Ju is also an exceptional talent, there was no way FB could give him credit. Danny Seemiller argued that Ma Long has the worst first round matchup and I can't disagree with him based on the prelims.

Sandbagging ZJK fans. Harimoto is not better than Lin Gaoyuan. Zhang Jike could beat Lin Gaoyuan injured, spin or no spin. I cannot consider Harimoto the favorite.

Looks like Zhang Jike is 100% from a physical standpoint and it pretty much shows. He is putting everything down to experience and accepting that spin doesn't do what it used to do to the opponent. I really believe Harimoto needs good fortune tomorrow. We have to be patient but I don't see...

That's one of the most intriguing draws I have every seen! Great stuff. For anyone looking at it, toggle to Men Singles at the top. Boll's draw is not that bad btw - it is what it is!

Poor Harimoto... Where are you seeing this info?

Those girls killed Quadri... just kidding, good match. Something about Zhang Jike's style changed after game 4 and I think it became like a practice match. Maybe Aruna picked his level up too but I feel the game just became more open. But I suspect people will start actually paying attention...

He was definitely not as fit as he could be. That's where the mental problems came from. I say all this because I feel strongly that if the CNT cannot fix LJK, their generational dominance might not be as secure. There is really no reason he can't go back and forth on the fitness scale like...

I am ready to give him a chance after he lost weight. No way he was going anywhere with those extra pounds. This isn't 1995 and his name isn't Wang Tao.

Classic Zhang Jike. Brings his best game when he feels his opponent is worthy.

Quadri doesn't do well against CNT tactics. Anything other than a ZJK win would surprise me and if Quadri got more than 2 games it is progress. All that said, other than the backhand dynamic, this is is his best CNT matchup.

Also very interesting is that LJK came back from 0-3 down vs Niu Guankai. It seems that the young one may also be getting really sharp.

Thanks. Too much rushing.
