If Dima doesnt win this match... this is his only chance at no.1

not really. Fan Zhendong has to win the whole tournament to become No.1

And maybe Xu Xin can beat him next round

I don't know why but I just don't want Dima as world number 1. Mainly because there's a player called Ma Long.

Well, that might be your personal reasons, and I´m quite sure you´re not the only one feeling this way, which is totally fine fo me, but I think Dima should take the no. 1 spot just to prove how hard work beats talent on a regular! PERIOD!

Personally i would love to see Zhang JiKe up there, but my wishful thinking isn´t what i would call being realistic.

Has anyone worked harder than Ma Long though?

I think both of them deserve to be called “working horse“

This sure is an exciting event! Lots on offer, hard to predict who will win each match. Dima vs Koki is a big one tomorrow! Koki Niwa is a dangerous player, however I think Dima will hold him off 4-2. Last week at the T2 event, Dima was training twice a day in the lead up to this event. He wants that number 1 spot bad!

I'm afraid Ma Long no matter what will loose is number 1 ranking

Musa · Dec 15, 2017

Can someone help with where or how I can access the live streaming for the grand finals. Here in Africa I am not able to access the ITTV stream or laola.. please

Hina HAYATA is dominating ZHU Yuling in Game 1 & 2.
I've never seen her playing so well. Actually I feel she's copying ZYL BH technique a bit, always trying to go to the ball

EDIT1: HAYATA couldn't maintain her form, and broke mentally in game 3 & 4 despite leading both 7-6.

ZYL now 3-2 ahead and it looks like it will be China the winner again

EDIT2: nope ! HAYATA being behind feels less pressure in the 6th and her game is flowing again, she takes it 11-9 and extends ZYL to a decider !

EDIT3: as usual ZYL wins... boring result. But it was a strong challenge by HAYATA.
