That's a defender right? Not suprised in that case. Apolonia doesn't make the best of his point from his attack. He has a mediocre loop, so he will have trouble with any defender that can give a decent amount of backspin.

ITTF is "great" no match from today at thier page I really wanted to see some matches. Peter Korbel vs Ma Long lost 4:1 but last 2 sets it was 10:12 and 16:18!!!! Last time he played great with Muzutani at Japan open and he lost just 4:3. He still playing very well....

 

[Matt Hetherington]

Chtchetinine is quite competent at spinning the ball and has a lot of spin variation, some of his chopping can be quite high but generally speaking hes a bit of an awkward player to come up against and as Wiwa said, Apolonia is not that strong against defenders, though I will admit I was a little surprised at the result myself

Wonder if Hao Shuai can follow in Yan An's footsteps (China Harmony Open) and take out Xu Xin to make semis too.

Matt, isn't putting your link on here breaking forum rules?

To be honest, I really wouldn't be surprised if Wang Hao just let Hao Shuai win, so he could get additional experience. This isn't a big tournament by any means, I think because the Chinese national team really cares more about the collective as opposed to individual success, Wang Hao, who clearly has proven himself just lets young up and comers get more experience by going further in the tournament. There probably is little doubt that China will win the championship, and therefore the Chinese team isn't really too worried about who wins, as long as one of the Chinese do.

 

[Wilco]

Noooooo they didnt let the commentators home,
ffff, to bad no option to listen without commentator and
just the sound of the game and the crowed fffff.

Hmm it has been known in the past for stuff like this to happen. But for Wang Hao to lose deliberately to Hao Shuai I'm not sure. This would have a huge effect on Wang Hao's world ranking points also?

 

[WiWa]

If they would let someone get experience I don't think it would be Hao Shuai. Remember that unbelievable comeback from Maze against him at the WTTC? That was in 2005, so 6 years ago. I don't know Shuai's age but he is definitely not a young talent who needs experience in my opinion.

Having said that, I do think he has a reasonable chance to beat Wang Hao.

Sooo How I do see it.. there will be interesting matches!

Round 32:
Zoran Primorac vs. Xu Xin
Patrick Baum vs. Jorgen Persson
Kazuhiro Chan vs. Ma Long
ZHANG JIKE vs. WERNER SCHLAGER
Dima Otvcharov vs. Chen Weixing
KALINIKOS KREANGA vs. JUN MIZUTANI that will be absolute cracker!
Ryu Seung Min vs. Tiago Apolonia
And also probably interesting will be Ma Lin vs. Kenta Matsudaira..
And if favorites will win, round 16:
Wang Hao vs. Hao Shuai
Ning Gao/Adrian Crisan vs. Xu Xin
Patrick Baum vs. Ma Long
Zhang Jike vs. Bastian Steger
Samsonov vs. Oh Sang Eun
Ryu Seung Min vs. Ma Lin

And we still didnt quit!
Round 8:
Wang Hao vs. Xu Xin
Chuang Chih-Yuan vs. Ma Long
Zhang Jike vs. Jun Mizutani (but I would rather see there Kreanga )
And Samsonov vs. Ma Lin

Then semifinals Wang Hao vs. Ma Long.. or Xu Xin vs. Ma Long
And Zhang Jike vs. Ma Lin..

Finals .. hmm

This will just be one great tournament!!!

Sooo.. when I look at this, I only made few mistakes
Persson was beaten by Monteiro..
Schlager lost in first round..
Korbel beat Kazuhiro
Štetinin beat Apolonia
And surprise Hao Shuai beat Wang Hao..
So, other went as I thought, so now we are surely happy to see Xu Xin vs. Ma Long (will Ma Long win? )
And Ma Lin vs. Zhang Jike! (I dont remember them to play in pro tour.. will Zhang win?)

So who will win the tournament???

 

[Michellius]

Hope Xu Xin does , but Ma Long will.
