Oh Fang Bo, now a totally failed serve at 10-9 to lose 10-12... Liu is thinking that he better not be coming home :D

I didn't see the point, but the thing with LJK is that these guys do not get such a chance very often. For Kenta and others this may be a tough loss, but they can try again at the next tournament. For Liang to go out in the first round would be devastating. Of course if he saw it it is unsportsmanlike, but in the heat of the moment you may not always be in total control of your mind.

Shame about JYS, poor form this week in singles and doubles. Was looking forward to a match against Dima.

Prediction:

Ma Long def. Liao Cheng Ting 4-0

Li Ping def. Kim Minseok 4-2
Freitas def. Mengel 4-0
Pucar def. Alamiyan 4-3

Wong Chun Ting def. Filus 4-3
Chuang Chih Yuan def. Kou Lei 4-1
Niwa def. Walther 4-1
Zhang Jike def. Apolonia 4-1

Xu Xin def. Salifou 4-0
Fang Bo def. Jang Woojin 4-3
Liang Jingkun def. Matsudaira 4-3
Karlsson def. Samsonov 4-2

Ovtcharov def. Jiang Tianyi 4-2
Jeoung Youngsik def. Yoshida 4-1
Robles def. Al Mohannadi 4-2
Fan Zhendong def. Oshima 4-2

Putting my faith in Liang Jingkun. I like Kenta but the importance of this match for LJK is enormous.
Jang Woojin shouldn't be overlooked against Fang Bo.

Overall really successful 15/16 prediction, with 10/15 correct set scores! Pretty proud of myself for predicting the four 7-setters :D

Have u guys seen the last point between Kenta and Liang Jingkun??
1. Does anyone think it was IN? Or everybody knows (as I do) it was OUT??
And more important:
2. Does anyone think Liang Jingkun was not cheating, cellebrating the point? I believe he cheated on purpose.

What you state it totally understandable especially from LJK'S point of view . BUT I dont think he will get away with it even if he won the match. The coaches will still spank him for struggling like that against an inferior player. Matsudaira has improved a lot last year and has given good fights against the chinese (lost 4-2 against ML & ZJK in china & japen open 2016 with very good prospects) but still is not at the same level . I hope this doesnt affect him in his next encounters after all he should keep that fact that he managed to go all the way against a CNT top gun, its just a pro tour after all. Small significance
