You are right. Anyway, I think that regardless of any further matches the final 5 will be ZJK, ML, WH, XX and FZD.
My mistake guys , I was thinking that it was only one spot that the coaches will choose and after the final the rest will play another round to decide who gets the third and fourth ticket.

sorry for dumb questions, how many players in a team will participate the individual events (I wonder men's single) in WTTC? And as I remember WTTC was held last year (2013) in Paris, then is it supposed to hold again after two years, means 2015? no?

Thanks Janus! Congratulations Xu Xin! I liked this final both players really wanted to win! I am impressed with how much Fan Zhendong tried to make a comeback after trailing a lot of points in the last set.

Probably the best match of FZD's career! Not Ma Long's day perhaps, but anyway, great stuff from FZD!

Well, we shouldn't forget that Ma Long got injured at the Qatar open less than a week before meeting Fan Zhendong at the trials.

I'm not saying Fan Zhendong didn't deserve to win the match but he certainly wasn't facing the best Ma Long at the table.

That's why I also wouldn't call it the best match of Fan's career, I'm sure he has had better victories over other players in their full capability.

Come on! every time Ma Long loses a match, Ma Long fans say: "he was not at his best". Lets face the truth: Ma Long is not unbeatable.

Of course he is not unbeatable but this time he had a physical disadvantage because he got injured against Masato Shiono less than a week ago. He quit the tournament after that match to not make it worse. He had to attend the trials because it is such an important event.

You can see in the match against FZD that Ma was not happy with himself for missing some "easy"(easy for him) shots. He couldn't give his best and FZD won. I'm not saying ML would have definately won without the injury, but it is also a bit foolish to say that it was the best victory of FZD ever.
