Chinese Trials for World Championships 2017

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

The level of those trials just show that non-Chinese players stand absolutely no chance to become world Champion and even get Silver. Bronze perhaps if they are very very lucky, given there is no Bronze medal match... This is even more true on the Women's side.

It is very unlikely Zhou Yu can stop Lin Gaoyuan from getting his ticket. LGY 1:0 ZY.

For women this is probably true as there are very few full time female players in eruope, but for mens you shouldn't underestimate how much impact it has when you know each other well. I have a very close friend who is about 150pts above me but our games are always 50-50

Man. If you ever want to worry about the state of the human race, just read YouTube comments. Blergh.

Oh my god - what a time to pull out a hand switch winner loop from miles away.

I'm gutted she lost after that point. They should just give her the win, or a medal or something.

During post match interview with FYL. She said she used to do that during practice, she said she usually can return it during practice ! And for that particular point, she is not surprise at all and expected it to be in

Other women Asian players are no match for the Chinese. The only ones who are a bit closer are Chinese migrants (HAN, FENG, LI, JEON, HU, etc...) fighting for other countries....

That's it! LGY beat ZY 2:0 convincingly and get his own ticket to WTTC. Congrat to both winners. Good night.

 

[laser23]

LGY has done it!!

 

[AndySmith]

Great to see LGY pull this off. Makes the WTTC much more interesting IMO.

 

[Yecats Encerwal]

Wow, well congrats LGY!

So the line-up so far is FZD, LGY, _ _ _ , _ _ _ , _ _ _

Surely those places belong to ML, ZJK and XX.But Liu G could surprise us all, and it also depends on ZJK's recovery.

Does anyone know when LG has to finalise the line-up?

 

[TurboZ]

Congratulation to the first 4 ticket winners!

 

[TurboZ]

Does anyone know when LG has to finalise the line-up?

I see final entry is no later than 29th March 2017.

 

[Xylit]

Are those five tickets for team competition only or do they also all play singles event?

yes definitely ML and XX will go, ZJK as well if he is not injured, if ZJK is injured, it should be ZHOU Qihao or LIANG Jingkun I believe.

In women's i believe apart from the DING Nin and LIU Shiwen, it should be CHEN Meng, MU Zi, and FENG YL.

The big losers are FANG Bo, YAN An, ZHU Yuling and WU Yang

no team competition this time, only singles + doubles.
doubles I believe will be the consolation prize for some who are missing the individual competition and might welcome some names which are not included in the 5 running individually.

 

[Garrison]

The singles and team world championships are always in different years, so in 2017 we have the individuals and in 2018 the teams. I think the team will be chosen entirely by head coach Liu

Thank you.
Is the amount of starters limited for each country for singles competition or will those five all play singles for sure?

Aus Wikipedia:

"Jeder Verband darf zwei gemischte Doppel und (pro Geschlecht) zwei Doppel und drei Einzelspieler melden. Einen weiteren Einzelstartplatz pro Verband gibt es für einen Spieler, der sich in der Weltrangliste unter den besten 100 befindet, einen weiteren für einen Top 20-Spieler, sodass im Einzel maximal fünf Spieler pro Verband starten dürfen. Im Einzel und Doppel dürfen unterschiedliche Spieler gemeldet werden, gemischtnationale Doppel sind erlaubt. Ausschlaggebend ist die Weltrangliste vom Januar 2017.Gastgeber Deutschland darf unabhängig von der Weltrangliste jeweils drei Doppel, drei gemischte Doppel und sechs Einzelspieler melden."

So yes, all five of the chinese will play singles
