Incredible performance by Gauzy. Who saw that one coming? He has been nowhere near his top 10 form recently, but this tournament he's showing glimpses. Then to beat Xu Xin. First properly massive upset of the tournament. Only minor ones so far until now.

Long live the circus. Gauzy pride of Europe!

Feel somewhat sorry for Xu Xin he's my favourite Chinese player and my favourite player to watch in the world. But I had to root for the underdog there.

The bottom half of the draw is even more insane now, no chinese player left. Boll could enter the final without playing against a chinese.

"China is a sleeping lion. Let her sleep, for when she loses the world will shake."

The Great Wall of China is wide open!!! No all-China final is so god-damn boring!

Him vs harimoto will be very interesting, last time they played Boll completely shut him down, but harimoto has just beaten freitas who he lost to twice before.

Wooow. Bittersweet. Feeling happy for great victory of Gauzy, he returned to shape again! :D But feeling sad for Xu Xin's. Will miss it on this tournament. Hope he wins gold in mixed doubles along with Liu Shiwen!

XX played so stubborn today, esp when he was losing. Same serve and try forcing to use his fh to counter the flick. If he brought his bh into play early on then he won't be still trapped with his own fh game. Simon deserved to win today tbh.

XX tried to use his BH against Mizutani in the Rio team final. It didn't end well. He never tried that again after that.
