Wong Chun Ting is going to take it. He may face Kenji in the second round.

AndreMartins · Apr 3, 2014

Chen Chien-An will win

Yuk1 · Apr 3, 2014

Morizono has lotta potential too

MegaZZ · Apr 5, 2014

I really think both the experienced Taiwan's Chen Chien An and the new penholder on the block Hong Kong's Wong Chun Ting will do very well. Wong actually plays better modern penhold style than any of the Chinese national players except for Xu Xin and Wang Hao (not counting Ma Lin who is retired). Penhold is almost obsolete but with the RPB technique it does surprisingly well, even when there is like one penholder in the whole tournament. I think this is is partly because it's difficult to train with someone of that style

That scoreline.....
I think this is the first world tour for Lam Siu Hang.. and caused 3 upsets to reach the U21 semi-finals...

Hope to see Wong CT go all the way to the final. There are many Japanese on his way. Interesting to see how many he can beat. Have not seen him face a defender before. Yuto is a tough one so that could be crucial if they meet. Too bad Chen Chien An was out early by his team mate.

This guy Morizono makes me wanna kick him. He is really irritating

This girl is incredible! How can a 13 year old be so good!

Paul Drinkhall is in the final! He has played so well throughout this tournament!

It is odd that Wong Chun Ting could defeat the Matsudairas, Kishikawa, and Takakiwa but not Morizono. But nevertheless it was a good fight from Wong as he was able to come back from 5-9 down in the 6th set.

TurboZ · Apr 6, 2014

WCT is out. His new Intensity is not helping. He was slow to the game of quarter and barely survived. Always fighting back from behind. The same in semi vs Masataka. Should keep the years old Rosewood for this tournament and stop changing rubber and blade way too often.

I hope he takes the title! So we don't hear those 'screams' from Morizono....

Haha, I would like to see Paul win, he has just came back from a hip injury and is very hungry to win now when he plays. I think we would see a very good celebration from him
