This kid is walking down a totally different path from Harimoto. He plays like those from the 90s. Uses wit to contain power. Doesn't mindlessly powerloop everything. Very balanced. Like how Sun Wen said, he exploited the path of many shots in their match.

So Xu Xin added more variation and quality but this kid is tough. Very Samsonov/Oh Sang Eun like. If Xu Xin didn't have that amazing ability to track down balls, this would not be looking good for him.

I was shocked twice:
Xu Xin vs FZD - i thought FZD would win 4-2 or 4-1 like usual. Man I was shocked!! When was the last time XX won against FZD? 2015 I think?
Xu Xin vs Lin Yun-Ju - Lin Yun-Ju resembles a style stimilar to LGY's. This style is a natural killer of penholders. I thought Xu Xin would struggled and lose quickly 2-4. I am shocked Xu Xin is still fighting while typing this!!!

Triple Gold medalist Xu Xin... is this a 2020 Olympics campaign?

Oh, it is encouraging to see years of technical work on the backhand pay off even if it is only one tournament so far. His new coach must be doing something right.

After seeing LSW successfully fend off her pre-WTTC fate of being the third Olympics player at best, maybe XX felt inspired? "I'm not just a Doubles specialist, I can be awesome at Singles too!"
Also, everyone thought it would depend on FZD's performance to determine if LGY will become the new WR#1. The biggest cockblocker turns out to be XX. If my calculations are right, the penholder will regain the title next month.

That coach that you had mentioned is Chen Qi if I'm not mistaken...

Talking about FZD, I had a feeling he has elbow injury? Otherwise he wouldn't have made quite a few unforced FH errors

I really hope Xu Xin's tactics and RPB will reach a new height next year. I know it is silly to say but I really hope Xu Xin can take out the Olympic men's single gold once and for all.

At this point anyone winning other than Ma Long would be better. Even if it's a chinese player.

SYS has beaten the 2019 WTTC Champion, the Silver medalist as well the Bronze medalist, adding to the fray along the way, the top Korean, the top Japanese in one single tournament.
What's LGL going to do now? ;-)
