Ding Ning, Liu Shiwen, Zhu Yuing, while the other two have not yet been determined. (Maybe Chen Meng and Wang Manyu)

Thanks a lot. Still surprising to me. Didn´t see any of his latest performances yet.
Do you know if there are any Videos from the trials?

 

[rainneverever]

I don't think there will be any videos. The draw and results of the second trial may be released in a few days.
In the first trial, LGY 3:2 ZY; YA 3:2 FB; LGY 3:1 YA

Thanks for the detailed info!
It surprises me to see XX with a low win ratio, he was playing superbly good at China National Games. Is he injured or something like that?

 

[rainneverever]

XX did not always play singles this season. He sometimes played doubles and sometimes was arranged to play the fifth set while Shanghai lost before he played.
In singles, he beat Zhang Yudong(Jiangsu), Xia Yizheng (Shandong Weiqiao), Xu Ruifeng (Sichuan), Zhou Qihao(Anhui) and Yu Ziyang(Anhui). He lost to LGY(Shandong Weiqiao), Ma Te(Tianjin), Ren Hao(Shenzhen), Wang Chuqin (Bazhou).
In doubles, he paired with Cui Qinglei and lost to Jiangsu and Shandong Luneng.
In general Shanghai has not played well (3 wins and 6 losses). No news about XX's major injuries since he played German Open, Swedish Open and Grand Finals. He switched to DHS N301 blade and played the above tour events but changed again (not sure what blade) during CTTSL. Maybe he needs time to adjust to the new blade.

Please don't start compiling the list of excuses for Xu Xin before the matches even begin. I know all 10 of them by heart. It's the same list used by all super fans for all the top world players. It is much more enlightening to go into the actual weaknesses of these players that they need work on (skills, tactics, and mental composure). That is precisely what their competitors and those competitors' coaches do and it pays off regularly.
PS., I apologize profoundly for someone's ugly comment about you being a petty-minded woman. I hate that sexist bullshit. I have great respect and appreciation for your analysis, even when I might disagree.
