What an incredible event this is going to be! Ma Long, Timo Boll and Dimitrij Ovtcharov all had their entries submitted however have withdrawn from the event. We will see an incredible top 5 line up including Xu Xin, Fan Zhendong, Olympic Champion Zhang Jike, Jun Mizutani and Marcos Freitas! Who do you think will win? Japan have entered a large line up including Koki Niwa, Kenta and Yuya. Will China's Fang Bo and Yan An make a dent in the draw?

A fantastic event to follow, be sure to get involved on the TTD discussions and join us in the live chat in the ITTF Live Streaming!

would xu xin not be the 2nd seed as he is WR 3 as of this september? or is it based on old ranking

Yes, he made a comeback recently. ????

I believe that is correct, that he should be number 2 seed. Maybe Dan forgot :v

 

[Murre5]

According to the tournaments website it's Xu Xin as first seed. So it's probably based on old rankings.

 

[Suga D]

Patrick Franziska has withdrawn because of a hip injury, according to his Instagram.

 

[jonurkel]

What a shame that Franziska has withdrawn! I think that he is a really good player, who will be among the top European players in the upcoming years. He could have done it well in Sweden.

Hope he recovers soon!

 

[TTHopeful]

The seeds need to update now Franziska is out. I would like to see Drinkhall cause some upsets

 

[brabhamista]

Yeah, a pity that Franziska had to withdraw. I like his style.
Will be watching Anton Källberg at SOC though. He plays for Hagen in Germany and this week he beat both Kamal Achanta and Gionis Panagiotis in the match Franziska mentioned above. He looks to be in great form so I look forward to seeing his progress this week.

And Yuya Oshima is always an exciting player

 

[raazzz]

Sad to hear that Franziska had to withdraw. I think Fan will be hard to beat.

Hahahaha. Really good one. The funniest thing is that probably those girls (Chen Meng and Zhu Yuling) also use a Viscaria with Stiga handle

 

[necax007]

Does anyone think that Marco Freitas have a chance?

 

[TableTennisDaily]

Some great matches tomorrow morning. Harimoto Tomokazu plays Chen Feng in the under 21's aswell as Kohei Sambe vs Sam Walker. Michael Maze makes a return against Jens Lundqvist in the main draw of the men's singles. Full schedule of day 2's play here: http://www.ittf.com/competitions/te...ate_to=11/13/2015&p_assc=&Competition_ID=2604

He looks in very good shape in the training hall... whether he can defeat 2 Chinese players in a row i'm unsure but I hope he goes far! Hes great!

 

[Danggi]

Nice to see u Dan.

Yeah, you're right. Liam Pitchford vs Anton Källberg looks like another tasty treat
A battle between two of Europe's brightest prospects. I'm looking forward to it
