They should play mixed doubles.

A rare encounter. Cpen vs Jpen at table 2 now and Cazuo is winning the first game over Xu Xin !

XX is back to business and won the second game fast at 11:3. Hopefully not another upset like ZJK did earlier today.

A narrow win by XX 12:10 in the thrid.

Another fast win by XX. 11:6. Could be over in the fifth.

XX took the fifth 11:7 nice and easy in the relax mode. No drama here.

What I feel is, players who are participating in Rio, are not putting too many efforts. They are just keeping themselves warm and getting to know what kind of players they are going to face. All the 3 jap top women players got defeated, zjk, timo,,,, it should be a clear mark. Since zjk is out, Ma long can play now freely, and I am sure he will win this tour. But it's about all other players, it clearly is not their best efforts.

When I said Timo is not gonna make it into Quarterfinals of Korea Open, I mean that this is his first major tournament after recovery(Correct me if I am wrong). But, for all reasons in the world , he is probably reaching quarters or semis in Rio. All these young players lack experience and preparation for such a big event. ML was not selected for the same reason last time. Timo does it as a day job from 2004.

Regarding ZJK, it is utmost expected. ZJK always has problem against him. Probably, the skill set is similar. Usually ZJK overpowers everyone with his powerful forehand drive and unique backhand. Chen too has equally good forehand and speed to match him. It is still a wonder that ZJK last the final set so close, unsual.

I am putting my bet on ZJK to win RIO cos, that is his mentality. ZJK always loses and earns a bad reputation before major events. Then goes back to real training and proves all naysayers wrong. ZJK's mindset is a kid's mindest(me too). He like to have lot of fun through this drama. ML biggest worry would be ZJK lost in Korea Open.

From psychology point of view, Korea open is huge, winning that already relieves lot of built of pressure of competitive spirit. Then, you become complacent and lose at RIO, sad thing but is true

It's like you want everyone in the room to get tinnitus.

[TurboZ]

Ma Long in trouble?! 2:3 down vs Flore! Can he pull this off?

ML won the sixth to level 3:3. On to the decider 7th!

ML is having a good start leading 5:1. No sweat.

Luck is not on Flore's side. 11:1 and a round the table demonstration. ML marches on as another usual day in life.

 

[fanTT]

poor Flore. But was interested match.

 

[TurboZ]

Did someone gave Fang Bo a pair of counterfeit Mizuno? He just keep slipping till the last point. Poor man.

 

[Dan]

Wow Flore was 3-2 up!? Thats incredible. Great effort!

 

[Siva Schopenhauer]

Incredible play by Flore. World randked 100 takes 3 sets away from World no:1. Then, gives away 4 points at the spirit of sportsmanship and finishes with a exhibition point on a one in life time opportunity.

Tristan Flore as I see it stood neck to neck with ML. Never seen ML getting uncomfortable for 7 sets against anyone, let alone the chinese. This dude got the softest touch, elegant swooping chops, salsa serves and thundering third balls

 

[Boogar]

Wow what a game from Flore!
His serves destroyed Ma long! Even tho he lost that was a good game for Flore, as he has shown very good sportmansship.

Does he play in the olympics?
