Hope ML can take this.

[Dr Evil]

Even tougher right now to take out FZD and ML. But if anyone can do it it's Hugo.

[TTHopeful]

China only gets two players, and they already have the World Champion and the Asian Cup champion.

What happened to Boll? Didn't want to travel during the pandemic?

I think thats the reason , yes, even if he might say his back feels not good instead

[Konrad Bak]

He is after injury

[phorkyas]

He is after injury

Exactly. Just played his first league matches (see eg: https://youtu.be/exf7nvdMzPE), probably not yet fit to compete on international scene.

With XX and him missing out, some lefty reduction. Hope silent assasin can murder some. Also wish Franz and Tsuboi will do well...

The Round 16 line up:

[Sali]

Easy round for Harimoto. Others besides Chinese players hard to guess.

Who in the world is writing these ITTF articles? We thought those articles years ago were bad, but this one is just bizarre. Especially the section about Jeoung Youngsik's match against Wong Chun Ting, and the fact that they're making the article absurdly long by leaving in all the mid-match updates even after they've finished already.

https://www.ittf.com/2020/11/13/dish...d-cup-day-one/

"Wong Chun Ting and Jeoung Youngsik are on showboat mode right now, as both Asian athletes are leaving everything at the table with the score 3-2 (9-11, 12-10, 10-12, 7-11, 11-7) in the favour of the Korea Republican. The way this first day has gone, can anyone see this match not going to a decider?." (Korea Republican!? What kind of term is that? And the match had actually been in favor of Wong, not Jeoung...)

Based on the "Round of 16" lineup, what final would you most like to see?
I don't think it's very likely, but I'd love to see Calderano vs. Ovtcharov going at each other with both on top form.
