I take it this event is in November, not "September"

 

[Garrison]

I want to see Dima vs Fan!

 

[AndySmith]

Boll looks to have picked up a knee injury in the T2 APAC this morning. Fingers crossed he recovers in time for this!

 

[drunix80]

Surprised to see ZJK in the draw. But my prediction is FZD or LGY will bag this one !!!

 

[yoass]

Xu Xin. Let it be Xu Xin. Please. Spice of life stuff.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

would like to see Harimoto win this one !!!

 

[drunix80]

would like to see Harimoto win this one !!!

What if Harimoto takes down FZD. I can only imagine the aftermath ....!!!

 

[Sergio Soh]

[Garrison]

main draw is out now. We will have a XX vs Harimoto rematch. Timo gets to fight his demon Simon Gauzy.

Ovtcharov has an interesting draw: Yan An and Zhang Jike before he would face FZD in semis. If he wants to prove himself this is his chance.

There is no Timo Boll to save him from the chinese this time..
I would love to Samsonov beat FZD ..
That would be some..

About Timo vs. Gauzy - I am really sad for this.. They deserved another draw..
But if lucky, we can get Timo vs. Lin re-match too

 

[Michal_Z]

Btw this is one of the strongest tournaments of the year.
Imagine - Freitas, Calderano - playing qualification groups ??
I mean, wov!

 

[Michal_Z]

Anyways, I hate this that ittf is always showing draws only in PDF format, not xhtml or what it was before.
This really sucks..

 

[Michal_Z]

Good news is that we will get 4 tables streamed, yayy ..
This will be tough to decide what matches to watch, hehe..

This really sucks..

They introduced a new system a while back but it kept causing problems. I hope the pdf files is just a temporary solution

 

[Sali]

There are a lot of great names in group stage even top20 players, let's just quote few:
freitas
calderano
yungsik
yoshimura
zhou yu
and few top korean players

I think some great names from main draw can have problems like samsonov, matsudaira, zhang jike, wong, sangsu

 

[WorkerBee]

Luckily, Tomo handles stress well. He is in a doubles match (vs Klein and Ort from Germany today at 8:20) then goes up against Xu Xin (seed #2 because Ma Long is out on injury) on Saturday. Live on ittv is nice.

[TTHopeful]

Lets see how zjk does this time

 

[RidTheKid]

His footwork is not his best asset these days. I think he needs to be 100% to get to the semis.
