In the match between ZYU and CM , they played with zero emotions as if they are playing only by force.

They are best friends and came up through CNT B team together. Their matches are usually like that.

Is it not Jörg Roßkopf? I have not seen any Boll games at the China Open, but it usually is. (Although it's Danny Heister at the club.)

He has some asian looking guy by his side. I feel like I have seen him before but I don't remember the name

Chinese commentators were very complementary of Hari, said he had few weaknesses, very consistent, seldom made mistakes. Said he was backhand dominant for now, and mentioned he had a very versatile game, can switch the pace between fast and slow, near and far. Said it's clear he had quite an advantage over Koki Niwa, especially in the service return game.

A little disappointed in FZD and XX for losing the doubles match and then forfeiting as protest for LGL. Seems unfair on the young Japanese doubles team. Winning the Chinese team in any of the events is usually supposed to be an exciting thing to celebrate, but regardless of whether FZD/XX lost on purpose (a pretty tasteless move, IMO) or not, their win is now marred with "eh, the Chinese team gave you the win"

I don't think so. If they wanted to do so, they would have walked-over. Something changed, someone decided something, between the end of that match and the start of Ma Long's match.
