Surprisingly enough, so far Ma Long has been the deciding factor here.

Timo Boll, as expected, is slightly slower than the rest and struggles with serve and short play, but he has been very consistent so far, usually able to keep up with the pace, and pretty much flawless tactically.

XX and FZD have a clear game plan which they are executing on their normal level so far.

Ma Long was a beast for a set and a half but then made a few unforced errors and became passive. Now he lost the initiative and is mostly reacting. Needs to change or they will most likely lose.

Xu Xin made a few crazy shots only he is capable of. Timo Boll smashes to his forehand, Xu Xin counterattacks for a winner, Timo shakes his head. Timo smashes to his backhand, Xu Xin pulls out backhand counterattack (!) from 6 meters away from the table WTF.
