WCT turned his attention to XD around 2018 after it became a new event of Tokyo 2020, but ended up nowhere in all 3 events.
He is focusing on MS and XD now that they have failed to qualify for MT of Paris 2024. Will see how he fares this time.
That's what I've been saying for years if you read through ALL the quotes. He should not play in MS. Other than Athens 2004 where he reached the QF, he always got eliminated in R16 in the other 5 editions.

Regarding Boll, thank you, Rosskopf. But Qiu Dang and Ovtcharov over Franziska for MS? I expect their retirement if they don't reach at least the QF.
