I stayed so sad after Boll lost..
I really wanted him to win..
Now Crisan will play his former team partner from Ochsenhausen, Chuang Chih-Yuan .. well who knows..
Anyways, really, all chances seem to be in Maze´s hands!

Boll is out!!! Great!! I hope in Crisan's win in quater finals and one medal will have become real!!!

Steven · Jul 30, 2012

Don't forget Ovtcharov either. He was playing well yesterday. It's just sad that he and Maze meet in the QF. I feel like they should both be semi-finalists.*

Davott · Jul 30, 2012

Samsonov appears an easy opponent for Jike. His performance against Henzell today was shaky at best. Henzell was allowed to control the game and only lost due to the amount of mistakes he was making going for big shots. Jike won't and didn't make those kind of mistakes today.

Wang Hao also looks a little shaky but I can see him easily getting through the QF

Giangt · Jul 30, 2012

Just wanna shout it again...... MAAAAAAZE!!

Looking so much forward for the game tomorrow. Hopefully it will be another upset from Maze!

They will be in the same team again next season, as Chuang is joining Crisan in Bremen.

Its maze's chance to shine. Beating mizutani usually is something only the Chinese can do.

judah000 · Jul 31, 2012

I really hope maze can make it through the semis.

judah000 · Jul 31, 2012

I just hope all the best for Wang Hao.

I am so excited for the teams event, looking forward on Ma long's murderous performance.

I just hope his new hair would really make his performance murderous hahahah.

Okay Dan, tell us what its like as a spectator being able see all the matches live at the arena. Is it crazy! Are you having fun yet! Have you got to hang out with any of the players! Tell us what it is like on the ground. What matches have you been able to watch?

UpSideDownCarl · Jul 31, 2012

I have to say, Ariel Hsing played great. I believe she is 16 years old. It looks to me like, between now and when she is 24-26, if she had the right training and the opportunities to play internationally, she could be top 20 maybe even top 10. Too bad she is smart and will probably just go to college after she finishes High School next year. It was fun to see that she could give the World #3 a little bit of a challenge.

Mr. RicharD · Jul 31, 2012

Ariel is 16 yes, and honestly she has a chance to do well in 2016. The problem is whether or not she continues to train after high school or head to Stanford. To my knowledge she has a very good chance with her referrals and connections to get in. The great thing is that she and her parents are very likely to discuss it and if is important enough for her, she would have the capability to train for Rio. However I believe she was already contacting her Stanford referrals just a week ago, but with her match play I wouldn't be surprised if she is talking to her parents about it at this point.

They are extremely supportive of her and her dreams and I have no doubt they will do everything to their ability to make them come true.

YosuaYosan · Jul 31, 2012

This Olympic is crazy..

renben · Jul 31, 2012

Kasumi is in the zone! Now playing wang yuegu great stuff

Michal_Z · Jul 31, 2012

Awesome Kasumi Ishikawa!
Beat Wang Yuegu 4:1 in great style..
Love to see her happy face when she wins!

bzing · Jul 31, 2012

Boll lost at least 3 points due to his false serves... And also a lot of his attempts to counter-attack with backhand top spin failed.

I would hate to see Chinese vs Chinese in the finals.

I hope Maze or Ovtcharov at least will get to play with the Chinese in the finals.

Michal_Z · Jul 31, 2012

Well this was weird..
In fact, Boll called time out and since that moment he didnt get a single point..
And now, poor Fukuhara, Ding Ning crushed her like a child..
