Team 1 is going to win if Zhang Jike and Fan Zhendong play their bests. If they don't then team 2 is going to win.

Yan An have 20% chance against Ma Long, Zhou Yu 30% against Xu Xin and Ma Te 5% against Wang Hao.
If team 4 play their best and team 2 play their worst then they have 50% to win.

If you are so confidence on team 4 i will bet with you on their loss in the first round

Then you should be ready to make your own conclusion that ZJK does not play his best coz such contest is not important at all, as usual. Only one win from FZD (against any other teams but team 2) is, of course, not enough to advance the team

Yes, it's anybodys game but some have more chance. To me team 2 has the most chance unless team 1 play their best.

Anyway, i want that popcorn now

Really don't know what Zhang Jike is going to do. On the last match at closed training he played good in first sets against Fan Zhendong but then lost 2 sets.
Also in 2013 warm up matches for WTTC he played terrible.

Anyway i hate his attitude toward this kind of matches. He just stay there and don't try at all.

But i think he is going to play good at and after WTTTC because he must rise his world ranking to be in top 2 after 2015 WTTC if he wants to qualify for 2016 Rio.

Ranking points = rating points + bounce points
Rating points doesn't change until the player plays again. But players will loss bounce points that they have won usually 1 year before (unless they have won them in WTTC or OG).
So trying to win tournaments until now has no real effect on the players WR after 2015 WTTC.

So i guess he is going to play good again after WTTC to rise his WR to qualify for 2016 Rio.
