Fang Bo against a guy from a UMMC farm-team. In an interview, it was said that he hadn't practiced for 10 days before the match due to tough matches from the World Tour. It looks like FB likes adventures and going out, remember his participation in tourneys in US and Canada.

Here is a TT news reportage about Fang Bo: http://www.kntummc.ru/news/579/17/28-03-2017-programma-vesti-nastolnogo-tennisa

Key points:

0) FB says that he is glad to join the clube and hopes to learn something as well as teach his new clubmates.

1) The coach hopes that FB will be in a good shape after WTTC and will deliver in the final.

2) Dima says that for both Russian and European leagues it is great that FB is here; he also admits that UMMC will be the favorite in the league grand final because at least one Russian player should play, so probably Samsonov will skip it.

3) FB's fangirls massively invade UMMC's social media accounts. A FB's fangirl traveled from Londong (!) to attend his match.
