The list of the confirmed players of 2013 Pro Tour Grand Finals which begins on January 9th 2014 is out now:

Men's Singles:

Ma long, Zhang Jike, Xu Xin, Yan An, Wang Hao, Fan Zhendong, Masato Shiono, Dimitrij Ovtcharov, Abdel-Kader Salifou, Kazuhiro Chan, Chuang Chih-Yuan, Koki Niwa, Minseok Kim, Taku Takakiwa, Cazuo Matsumoto, Eugene Wang, Abdulla Almohaiseni

Full entries list: http://www.ittf.com/Protour_new/PDF/2013 WORLD TOUR/2013WTGF/SEEDING LIST_WTGF 2013.pdf
Playing system:http://www.ittf.com/Protour_new/PDF/2013 WORLD TOUR/2013WTGF/Playing System WTGF 2013.pdf

Who do you think will win the 2013 Pro Tour Grand Finals? I think Zhang Jike is going to win it because he has never won a Pro Tour Grand Finals. And Fan Zhendong will probably go so far.

I just wish that Zhang Jike takes this seriously and meets Ma Long in the final.

Does anyone know why Jun and Kenta aren't playing in more international events?

I know there was some political nonsense earlier in the year and they were pulled out - with the "tension" with China etc.
But no idea what is really going on.

The Japanese mens team is "wierd" this year. And the womens team is loosing too much.

He is protesting because a lot of players are using ilegal boosters, especially chinese.


Yeah, which when the dicussing started on forums - from japanese forums, he denied it around 6 months or so after.
Now I can't remember when was the press release after he denied it, he is still not active enough.
Really not sure what is going on.

Do you remember when it all started? Was it Olympics last year or Paris this year?

Yes that is true, I don't know when it started but he should stop thinking about those things an concenrate on his performance, because he is falling to deep, in less than 2 years he fell from 5th place in the world to number 15 lol. Just because of his mental problems.
