Since the Olympics and the China Open, Samsonov's results are going downhill fast.
World Cup 2016: loses his first match contre LEE Sangsu
European Championships 2016: wins Matias KARLSSON then loses GARDOS (!!)
ITTF Grand Finals 2016: loses 1st match to MURAMATSU
Hungarian Open 2017: wins against ROBINOT and DYJAS, loses SHANG Kun [still looks ok]
Top 16 Antibes 2017: 3 defeats APOLONIA, LEBESSON, KOU Lei
India Open 2017: loses 1st round to SAKAI (0-4 !!)
Qatar Open 2017: loses 1st round to Matias KARLSSON (2-4)
I'm a huge Samsonov fan, and I love his game. I really am disappointed he could not do better in the semis against ZJK who was injured and not at his best as well. He was overplayed by Mizutani as well in the Bronze Medal match. I really feel now his form is going down. Shouldn't he have stopped after Rio ?
