^^^ Same with Ma Long, my fav player is Ma Long, and he did well this year, he ven beaten ZJK regardless of what many here were saying about ZJK attitude, i think he did defeat Xu Xin as well, so it is really difficult to guess, ZJK was on top performs last 2-4 years so he was able to win the Olympics and WTTC, but is he on that top performance this year too? And will XX or ML stay and watching ZJK to beat them one by one without a fight? as you said, they became moe matured now and they know each other playing style, so i don't think it will go in easy winning of any of them, and i really put FZD out of this championship fighting, the further-est he can go to is the semi final to face one of the three we mention and mostly he will lose, still i see that ZJK/ML/XX are slightly higher advantage over FZD, in big event all will turn serious.
