Results at WTTC 2011

[Matt Hetherington]

KEEP UP TO DATE, I will be posting all results as I watch them. This will be a haven for publishing the upsets of the tournament and general discussion on matches and predictions for the finale!!!


It's getting closer and it's time for ttdaily users to get down to business and pick their man (and/or woman) for the crown.

So many contenders, so much talent and SO much speculation.

Who will be crowned 2011 World Table Tennis Champion?

Xu Xin didn't qualify to go as I was aware

 

[Matt Hetherington]

The 4 players who qualified to represent China are Ma Long, Wang Hao, Hao Shuai and Zhang Jike

so far yea, but the coaches decide other players to go!! xu xin is bound to go!

Oh really? How many players can they send?

 

[mullywully]

no idea, but ud figure if they pick other players they are bound to pick xu xin

 

[Matt Hetherington]

ah up to 7. Well that just rains on my poll. Do you think I should delete the poll and redo it?

 

[Matt Hetherington]

hmm nah I think I'll just leave it, maybe the 'other' category will stack up

 

[harrybelafonte]

one of the others xu xin ,ma lin,chen qi..hope boll does well as we are going to watch. seriously ma long if he s fit I tipped him for the last one but wang hao s experience saw him just pip ma long..last time....his time is here.

 

[markog99]

why didnt you put ma lin?

 

[GECA]

Ma Long or Timo ;-)

 

[Matt Hetherington]

why didnt you put ma lin?

I just put in the 4 players who are already confirmed to go, felt it was important to put in players from other places around the world too since there are only 10 spots on the poll

 

[PandaMike]

I would say Timo Boll if hes on his game, but Ma Long and Wang Hao have a almost equal chance as well.

 

[david93fcb]

Wang Hao or Timo..
It's the first time that I think Boll has a real chance to win, but he needs to avoid Wang Hao before the final.

Think so 2

thats a bit of a poor statement considering boll has lost two pro tour finals 4-0 to both zhang jike and xu xin, so clearly he is struggling against the chinese, he only seems to of had success against ma lin really

Indeed, but both of them have been playing outstandingly well lately and I don#t think they can keep their shape up until the WTTC.
Boll also beat Zhang Jike 2 weeks before their German Open match..he's never beaten Xu Xin though, he needs to find a good tactic against him.

 

[david93fcb]

And btw, Boll having a good chance implies that he must play his best TT and that won't necessarily be enough.

 

[mullywully]

well ud figure boll is gonna have to be smoking something pretty good to beat several of the top chinese in one tournament!
