Cool! I think Zhang Jike is the man who have a hat.

I think Ningbo and Shanghai will win the second round but i want to see Zhang Jike to beat Ma Long.

You are right about ZJK being the one with the hat.

About the Live Stream, it turned out that PPTV cancelled the Live Stream for Shandong vs Ningbo game without prior notice to CTTSL official, which resulted in the cancelling of CTTSL's live stream too because CTTSL uses the feeds from PPTV as I was told. So, there will be no video for this game unless the fans at the game had shot their own and upload it to the Internet.

Did ML pick up the blue handle HL3 again in the final or is that old stock photo? Anyway wish to see close up pick of ZJK's backhand rubber rather than his face.

I'm always right

It's a shame that there will be no video of the second round matches.
I'm so interested to know Ma Long used his previous blade or the picture isn't for the first round of the final.
