Congrats ZJK, good that i didn't vote here, i was going to vote for ML but i felt bored to do so.
I don't want to comment or analyse about that final game, it is China after all, doesn't matter who, ML or FZD or ZJK or even another chinese player who is not in top 5, it happens, you don't expect that #1 will win all his games forever until he retire, XX was #1, where is he now? and i know ZJK was #1 too and lost some tournaments here and there before too, so let's not make it a big deal, if ML win in the upcoming tournaments again against ZJK or whomever then the comments will change again, and i can't comment about the feeling of ML when he lost, be if i were in his place then i will be happy that his opponent has returned, this will give some kind of challenge rather than boring final games where we all vote for ML blindly.
At the end, this tournaments isn't changing the world of TT, and we can wait and see what will happen next, i didn't watch any games live as i got busy these days and yesterday i went back to the club after long break, i enjoy to go and play more than watching games live, i will watch big names championships live when possible, and i knew that Chinese players are in final again, i think in Qatar open if top 4 Chinese are there too then 2 of them in final as usual, could be ML and FZD, why not ZJK and FZD as long many keep hope for FZD always here.
