Oh Xu Xin+Yan An+Fan Zhendong+Zhou Yu all playing? Lol I can see now like the swedish players will have even any chance getting to the quarter finals with them lol or in fact any other european player will even get to the 1/4 finals it'll be like a miracle trying to match up the chinese in this tournament. No chance lol.

Isn't it the right time to have a poll on who is going to win men's doubles ? My real pick is FZD but I would pick Shang Kun since the world's best innovative shot maker Quentin Robinot is playing with him :p . Guy's anybody upto the challenge ?

Hey buddy, we can only have a poll for the singles as there can only be 1 poll per thread if that makes sense.

Got the technicality , I just thought we might help LGL increase the popularity of the sport by engaging in some animated discussion of transnational doubles :p

Good shout! Maybe we could make a dedicated thread to this with poll?

Alliance formed :)

Yes I am thinking , we can start one and see if people are interested , ultimately participation is important . May be we can give it a try in the next big pro-tour event where there are lot of translational pairings !

Great match between Fan Zhendong and Zhou Yu! I think Fan Zhendong will beat Xu Xin in semi-final and will probably face Yan An in the final. Go Fan!
