Well, on this side of the draw, I will root for Samsonov. At the beginning I was rooting for him. But, seeing how Aruna played so far, I am rooting for him too.

I know, I like to root for underdogs. If Aruna gets knocked out I go back to rooting for Samsonov. But, man it would be wild if Aruna can handle Ma Long. I am really looking forward to that matchup.

I have different emotions considering the match of Samsonov vs Ovtcharov. Yes, Vladi had great luck in the last set but he fully deserves the luck considering his career and that he does not yet have the Olympic medal. On the other hand Ovtcharov would have much more possibilities to beat the Chinese. I'm afraid Vladi is too slow for Jike.

Sorry bro. You are right. I did not mean it that way. Go Aruna. Go Samsonov.

Koki Niwa playing so calm, not a single cho from him, if it was Masataka Morizono playing he would've screamed his head off through the entire arena after every point.

This confused me to. It didnt even look like he tried. I'm sure he did and he has a calm mental approach about it, but a few fist pumps and cho's would show hes in the fight to his opponent.

I want Ma Long to beat ZJK in the final, It'll be devestating for ML if he loses it because this is huge, this is an ultimate proof for ML that he is capable of beating ZJK so I really hope he'll beat him. Otherwise the whole career might crash for ML. Sure he might still keep playing and win some world tours but if he misses this opportunity to win gold medal in the Olympics beating ZJK than he'll be forever known to be the worse player than the ZJK.

I want to see Ma Long doing final victory celebration and seeing how the arrogant ZJK loses the match.
