I can't remember how many times I saw players to be in lead against China players and later they loose simply because they are afraid to win (or don't believe themself that they can win) against a chineese player. Newest example Liam Pitchford. Its so frustrating!

Does ZJK only play doubles in the team event ??

Depends. If they keep lining up Zhang Jike as their third player and keep winning 3-0, then yes, Zhang Jike will only play doubles. But I think that in the (semi) final they will put Zhang Jike as first or second player.

EDIT: Actually, I think Liu Guoliang's tactics are to use Zhang Jike when there's a lot of pressure because that's when Zhang Jike is better than Ma Long. That is, he should be playing as first or second in the team final. Right now in the quarters against Britain there would only be real pressure when it's 2-2... And that's when Zhang Jike plays his singles match.

China Vs Korea would be an interesting encounter in the semis. Considering Ma Long's trouble with JYS in the singles and ZJK's past year's record against Korea players !!!
