Very interesting match b/w Xue Fei and CCA. It shows how sideline coaching could work against your player when the opposing player understands the advice.

Xue Fei OUT!

Wow! I know Gnana is really good but this is still a big upset for me.
I'm not too surprised that Xue Fei is defeated by CCA, though.

This might be the first victory for an Indian against a CNT player in modern history.

Some folks mentioned about CNT rule that a player losing in prelims can't participate in next event. So, how come WCQ and Zhou Kai are playing here ?? Is this rule no more in place ??

On that, through the Table Tennis World, the CTTA announced an adjustment to that roughly a week ago.

ps官方宣布:鉴于运动员参赛程度频繁密集的实际情况,中国乒协将对选拔办法(试行)做出适当调整,其中变化最大的一条是原有条例中将被“停赛”的运动员,调整为赛后可选择适当的场次进行必要的总结调整,以更好的状态参加接下来的赛事。
PS Official announcement: In view of the fact that athletes are frequently involved in the competition, the CTTA will make appropriate adjustments to the selection method(tentative). The biggest change is that the athletes who will "be suspended" in the original regulations will be adjusted to "may pick an appropriate time to make the necessary summaries and adjustments, after the match at one's choosing, in order to be better prepared for the upcoming competitions."

Li Jie had 2 match points but He Zhuojia saved them to extend it to the decider. Li got faulted at 3:3 and refuses to play.
