I would say Timo not only did not make any unforced errors, but he was quite lucky too. Congrats Timo
They may have been unforced but listening to Timo's racket when he played Vladi and Dima, the silence was deafening and I think the spin was on another level.
The last mini period has created a set of players who float around the same level. That why I want to see the actual games at the World team Cup. It could see the insane emergence of Fan Zhendong, Ma Long, Xu Xin, Timo Boll, Dima Ovtcharov, Tomo Harimoto, and even a few more who will hover around each other, or maybe just a few points lower, but up there. The next 6 months will see a beautiful dance of 15 amazing players. It's gonna be good.
I cannot understand how blind one should be. They both played very poor, especially dima who made a lot unforced errors and his footwork was much worse the usual also Timo was lucky in crutial points. Of course timo had better strategy and his style now is very good for positive attitude. There has been time since they both played to chinese players, there was also a matter of new balls. So I am very interested to so how the compete now. Of course I still hope that chinese players can be stopped, but in current form of FZD I just cannot see how boll or ovtcharov can beat him. Thay are both way behind.
