I think it won't matter to him that much compared to the World Cup, Olympics, and WTTC.
i think he will reach the semi-final even if he don't care and he have to face Ma Long is semi-final ( because of the WR and darwing ) so he will do his best to beat ML and then he will reach the final . i think in the final he will have enough motivation to win the match .UpSideDownCarl said:
I wonder if he will care. I cannot tell. Chinese Open Champion may mean something to him. I do think he wants to go head to head against Ma Long and show
everyone he has the answers. Because, I am sure he has heard people say how he did not have to face Ma Long to win any of those major titles.
I do think, when they do the Chinese Nationals in the fall, he will care.
i don't know the drawing system completely but i'm sure seed#1 will face seed#3 and seed#2 will face seed#4 in semi-final . seeding will be based on the last WR list before the deadline .Arlen said:Will he be facing Yan An anytime in the tournament? It would be a great match.
Also I have to agree with Carl that Zhang would definitely want to beat Ma this time. Carl you also mentioned that earlier this year at Kuwait Zhang "found out" how to overcome Ma. I wanna see that happen again this time 'round.
no , because he wants to show everyone that he have an answer to Ma Long but if he face WR # 20 he will have less chance because he don't care about wining or losing .alexand312z said:i think Zhang Jike will be less chance to win if he has to face Ma Long
i don't know the drawing system completely but i'm sure seed#1 will face seed#3 and seed#2 will face seed#4 in semi-final.
But, the top for are this right now:
1) Xu Xin
2) Ma Long
3) Zhang Jike
4) Wang Hao
Which would mean, if that is what they use to base the seeding, Ma Long and Zhang Jike should play in the semi-finals if things go by the numbers, because ML is #2 and ZJK is #3.
