Korea Open 2013 - ITTF World Tour

[Michal_Z]

ZHANG Jike vs. YAN An tomorrow. Probably gonna be one of the most exiting matches among the other seven. Yan An has been in top form recently and an upset will not be that surprising, considering he finished 2nd at Qatar and has been very close to beating Ma Long in their previous meets. Still, as a Jike fan I really hope he wins .

Bummer they wont stream it, I was looking forward for that one too

Hey TTLondon2012 and H4kS3IR

at first I want to thank you for your hard work. Summarizing the matches is very nice! So I can understand that you want to get some views

But you post that often that it kills the conversation about the tournament. You can't follow it anymore and the thread is a little bit lagging (at least at my laptop, other threads are fine)
As a result, it's no fun to read or write in the tournament threads.

How we can solve the problem:

Maybe you can put all videos in one post? (edit-function)
Or we create a new thread for videos only?

Regards,

New topic would be the best idea..

did xu xin lose to jun mizutani? any videos if true?

They have not met yet. May be today if them win out. ZJK will meet Yan, Too bad one has to go in the early round of 16.

LEE Ho Ching of HK saved 5 matchpoints and won in the 7th 12-10 against Seok Hajung

The quarter finals onwards are going to be amazing!!

 

[pingpingpongpong]

ZJK lost to Yan An. Xu Xin and Ma Long beware haha

 

[Michal_Z]

Yan An just beat Zhang Jike 4:3 .. too bad it was not on a ittv table

 

[Arlen]

Arghh! What a waste from Jike, leading 10-6 in seventh and in the end lost 11-13 to Yan An. Also, its just plain STUPID two previous matches had ended but still ITTV didn't change the camera view, all I could do was make do with the chos and cheering from the crowds to have a rough estimate on how the match was going. Live scores were kinda helpful but a little delayed.

Still, congratulations to Yan An, I have a good feeling he'll win this one or at least enter the finals with Ma Long. What a shame ZJK had to face him rather early in the tournament, this time and even at Qatar.

damn! ma long is beasting it. it's good too see he's on top form

 

[Dan]

Wow, just watched Jun Mizutani vs Xu Xin! Fantastic match! What I love about the Korean Open is the crowd! They are amazing! Always cheering and clapping!

 

[Spinandspeed]

Yeah, but again Mizutani didn't win. Always when I watch Mizutani, I think:"Oh no, don't play the ball in the forehand;Now use this serve;Flick the ball..."
I always ask myself whether I'm tactically better than Mizutani?

yes , i feel like that too!
and i'm so sad because of ZJK's loss
i really hate a match between YA and ML because both of the are power players and 2 seconds after start of a rally it ends . this kind of game is really bad because in rallies there is no time to think aand this make the game ugly.

I was one of them who cheer so loudly for all the games haha

Haha love it! That is so amazing, I would have loved to have joined in with you

 

[jmillsy2]

the next time the worlds is in south korea will be awesome! the crowd will be loving it!

shame none of the korean men could win through to the finl day, but the doubles will be interesting, plus the womens doubles is an all korean final so the crowd will be happy and seo hyo won seems to be playing well, hopefully she will beat lee ho ching and give the crowd something to cheer about, especially as lee beat seok ha jung today...

its always a good tournament, one of the best on the circuit i think

Ma Long vs Ryu Seung Min: Quarter Final

Ma Long is in crazy form at the moment! It seems his backhand has improved, he looks very comfortable when playing. Ryu always impresses me, his footwork is relentless!

Totally agree! The Korean audience is the best I have ever heard! A loud atmosphere will help bring the players level up and it looks better for the sport
