Japan Open 2011

[MaLinAkAKilly]

haha laat me raden Deceuninck

 

[PongPing]

Jun Mizutani probably..

 

[lgreggs]

chuan usually has a good match with jun aswell

 

[Michal_Z]

So, Oh Sang Eun is out..
Kenta Matsudaira is out..
Chuang survived his battle against Jian Zhan..
Korbel had a funny match winning 6th set 20:18 against Hiromitsu Kasahara..
I tell you, Korbel vs. Mizutani will be quite awesome!
Korbel is former top 20 player, he is still good
Anyways, it will be probably very good match, Chuang Chih-Yuan vs. Lin Gaoyuan in the semifinals.. ;-)

 

[WiWa]

wow after round 1 it is like 40% is Japanese youth and 40% Chinese youth. TT world getting upside down these days xD

 

[YosuaYosan]

As there's no Ovtcharov and no Joo, it has to be Jun Mizutani to take it home ;D
Come on

Yea, too bad..
Where is Dima, I think he wanted to clean sweep another pro tour LOL.

I wanted Mizutani and Ai to win

 

[scylla24]

Has to be Matsudaira!

bad choice man....

The supposed young genius at table tennis, was overcome by a more gifted young genius.

 

[scylla24]

The Chinese team really brought out their young players in full forth this tournament. It should be interesting to watch and see how they do. A lot of them have already been pretty impressive by beating Oh, Chan Kasuhiro, Seo Hyun Deok, kenta, and yosida.

I think Song Hongyuan has a good chance of winning it. If not him, then no one can overcome Mizutani probably

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Anyone know why China does not send their top players to tournaments like this or the Korean Open? I guess it is nice to see other people win tournaments. But I always wonder why there are certain tournaments that they just don't send their top players to.

 

[dici]

It looks like China don't want their top players being too exhaust from having super league and korea/japan pro tour simultaneously. Especially they got timo boll in CTTSL right now, they most likely want to focus on this instead of the pro tour until the 2nd China Open

 

[YosuaYosan]

Mizutani vs Petr Korbel live on ittv right now !

 

[Michal_Z]

The question why top china players dont play in these pro tour is simple..
Right now its China Zheshang Bank vs. Ningbo Haitian on..
Starting with Ma Lin vs. Ma Long..
So this seems to be more important to them than some pro tour..

 

[Lan]

why isn Zhou Yu there?(

 

[Lan]

duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, who won?????????
I'm really beginning to worry about chinese table tennis future

 

[Michal_Z]

Awesome match Mizutani vs. Korbel, Korbel almost went through!
11:8 last deciding game, that is super performance from Korbel!
He is still pretty good!

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

China Super League. Okay. That makes sense why the top guns are not at these forums. But I know that last year China got shut out of the Pro Tour Grand Finale because they had not played at venues on enough different continents. And they really do not show up to a lot of the tournaments.

 

[Rhydian]

Crazy performance from Korbel!! Damn, very tight match!!
Luck for Mizutani ^^
Also againt Li Hu, also a close game!!

Come on Mizutani, you can do this ;D But you still have to learn

 

[WiWa]

4 Japanese in the semi's. That is something to be proud of. I found this remarkable: Kishikawa wins 4-3 against Matsudaira, last 3 games 5-11,2-11,3-11. And in the next round he also comes back from 3-1 down. Very impressive. Also Koki Niwa's victory against Lin Gaoyuan is a very impressive one.
