@Dan : I think we should have a poll for the ladies as well , don't you think so ... ?

Hey SpinQuark!

I hope my latest review with Liam will reveal some of his techniques. Hes a really cool, fun guy!

Fantastic, looking forward to that review.

I see Liam has shaved his head so he can move faster. Fortunately nature is doing the same for me and as a consequence I can now move as fast as a scalded snail.

Good Luck Liam, maybe you will make it to Bristol some day to show us your awesome skills.

pissed off that top Chinese players didn't care to come. Are they done enough tournaments to be in the ITTF grand finals ?
or they don't even care ?

I'll vote Calderano for this tournament. He seems in great form

 

[JeffM]

Does anyone have any info on what happened with the match that was meant to happen between Zhao ZiHao and Galvano Nicolas? The result was that Galvano Nicolas won but there is no score. Also, despite Zhao ZiHao winning all other matches, he was ranked as last in his group. Does that mean he pulled out?

Zhang Jike pulled out of the Austrian and Swedish Opens because of a twisted ankle, while the rest of China's top players are playing in the China Super League. The top four all attended 5 or 6 Supers, so they have indeed done enough tournaments to enter the grand finals

As for the voting, I think I'll reserve judgment on who I think will win, but I don't think it will be Zhou Yu. I believe he had a fever during the last CSL match last Saturday, not so sure he's back in top shape enough to compete with the European elite players.

He got multiple yellow card due to wrong service and argue with ref.

 

[JeffM]

Akkuzu Can vs Song Xu now on table 2!

I think Zhao ZiHao is the coach for Xu.

Don't know how much it is true but some say his main racket did not pass the test nor his spare after the match so he got disqualified. His name is still there in today's Double with Zhou Yu so hopefully he does not blow it.

Replied to wrong post.

Dave McBeath beat Maharu Yohimura, not Cho Eon Rae.

He beat Cho Eon Rae two days ago, he beat Maharu today. Both fantastic wins.
