[sananas123]

I voted Joo!

I'm voting for Ma Long (again ) but really looking forward to see what Yan An can achieve. Would be nice if he can make it really far..

 

[dici]

I hope xu xin can maintain his form. Then he may got a great chance for this one. But.... he is the type that not so stable in the performance

I still think he shud be in the 5 over Ma Lin but that's just my opinion

Yeah Matt, gotta agree with you on this one. Ma Lin didn't look good since the end of last year. He looked exhausted, and to be honest a little lacking in desire. On the other hand WLQ played rather well towards the end of 2011.

Too bad Chen Qi's not competing, but Yan An will show us an interesting tournament. Very sad for the players ranked above him...

3 people in a row have been very close to defeating Ma Long... It should happen soon I hope Zhang Jike shows a bit more spirit than in the Hungarian Open, unless he was injured of course.

 

[idolLong]

Wang Hao has been quiet for some time

 

[blahness]

Ma Long would be the obvious favourite. He seems to have the capability to win matches now even if he is not in absolute top form. He wasn't even close to the Pro Tour Grand Finals form in Hungarian Open, and managed to get through an on-form Xu Xin and Joo Se Hyuk. That's some serious mental strength he's developed. Somebody should count the number of 7 setters he has won since last year. He also plays a smarter and more powerful game than previous years.

i think he was just tired from the winter training he will be back with great performance in slovanian open

Master Long .

If he was tired during the Hungarian Open, I think he will be even more tired during the Slovenian Open There wasn't much time between them haha.

maybe... but know they had some time to relax. to play a tournement after one month of brutal training is really hard i think they are in better condition on slovanian open.

Did they not have a few days rest between the winter training and the Hungarian Open?

Timo boll is not competing?

Here is the main draw for the 1st round. http://www.ittf.com/competitions/test/matches_per_round1.asp?s_Event_Type=MS&Competition_ID=2107&rnd=64

 

[Michal_Z]

Main draw is out!
Great to see we will probably have another Ma Long vs. Bojan Tokic battle
Also it seems Ma Lin vs. Wang Hao is possible!
Maybe Xu Xin vs. Tiago Apolonia, Baum vs. Joo Se Hyuk..
And .. I really wait for:
Xu Xin vs. Joo Se Hyuk.. winner will probably play Zhang, if he beats Yan An!
But Yan An must first beat Chen Weixing..
Many interesting matches going on!
In women.. Kasumi Ishikawa vs. Ding Ning, Hirano Sayaka vs. Guo Yan, Liu Shiwen vs. Fan Ying, Liu Shiwen vs. Ai Fukuhara!
Also Iveta Vacenovska vs. Li Xiaoxia can be very interesting.. And Xiaoxia vs. Wu Yang..
Ouuuu, Im so happy!

Good to see that Xu Xin and Ma Long are now on different sides of the tournament. Now Xu Xin can show how far he can get without meeting Ma Long early. Hoping for a Ma Long-Xu Xin final, but I wouldn't mind Joo winning either.

 

[PlasmaLight]

nice draw. i think the first half with ma long is the easier draw. like to see ma long vs bojan tokic. but the second half with xu xin, zhang jike, yan an, joo se hyuk and so on will be more interesting

 

[WiWa]

Will be interesting to see how Suss does after his injury.
