Dan update it again..
Zhang and Ma Long.. or you didnt see my post above?

Wahhhhhhh only just noticed this! Why on earth have Ma Long and Zhang Jike withdrawn?

 

[Matt Hetherington]

Wow so the Olympics could damage all minor events leading up to it because the players are too scared of over-exterting themselves. Stink!!

New Poll due to the withdrawal of Ma Long, Zhang Jike and Timo Boll. Submit your new votes

I can see why Ma Long and Zhang Jike have withdrawn... They have played each other countless of times in the last 5 months, and they are now in preparation for the big event before the London 2012 Olympics, the World Team Championships in Dortmund.

And now it gets interesting. Time for Xu Xin to prove his ranking and time for the non-Chinese to step up and show what they're capable of.

 

[YosuaYosan]

HAA
Look at the vote! Its only Joo and Xu Xin

 

[Anders]

Dima will have a good chance now, voted for him!

 

[Wilco]

RYU Seung Min .

yup, olympics.... it's Xu Xin's time to shine! you're right guys! if it's not gonna be a Joo Se Hyuk - Xu Xin final, maybe Wang Hao - Xu Xin? idk..

 

[sananas123]

I want to see Joo Se Hyuk VS Ryu Seung Min!!!!!!!!!

 

[nabilatouni]

So now that ZJK and Ma Long have withdrew, i vote Xu Xin. I really think he can do it and prove whay he worths!!

 

[judah000]

i can see it ma long and ZJK are giving chance because they know they can win.LOL

 

[PlasmaLight]

xu has to win. wang hao and ma lin arent in best form. dima not strong enough, too. joo is no problem for him. so go for it dude

 

[UpSideDownCarl]

Should be interesting without the top guns. This is a tournament where Xu Xin can show himself. Not sure who will win though.

 

[cmetsbeltran15]

Are any Chinese going to replace ML and ZJK?

 

[PlasmaLight]

no topstars and the thread is going under

Hehe. I honestly think Chris that his tournament is going to be amazing! We also have Ryu Seung Min, Dimitrij Ovtcharov and Jun Mizutani who could be likely contenders. This tournament will be unpredictable! I cannot wait

 

[Rhydian]

Well even Ma Long, Zhang Jike & Timo Boll have withdrawn, it's still gonna be an amazing journey!!
Can't wait!!!
It starts tomorrow *.*

Little off-topic: When do the World Championships occur? :>

 

[PlasmaLight]

would love to see dima vs. xu in the finale
