WTF happened in the DN-LSW match??? DN seemed to have it under control
Chen Meng is now the strong favorite to take it all. Her last 4 matches against Wang Manyu on the international stage were 4-2, 4-0, 4-1 and 4-1. Liu Shiwen hasn't won an international match against Chen Meng since 2013 (!), losing the last 6 with the scores of 1-4, 0-4, 1-4, 1-3, 2-4, 0-4. Should Wang Manyu reach the final, Liu Shiwen would have better chances, she's 2-2 in matches vs WMY, every one of them ended 4-2. Guess I'll be rooting for Wang Manyu in this semi final then if I want Liu Shiwen to take gold, which I do. On the other hand, it's about time Chen Meng won something big. Whoever takes it, they'll all have deserved it.

Seems like the favourites for Olympics will be Liu Shiwen, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu after the WTTC. DN crumbled during her SF w WMY during Qatar and now against LSW.
Ding Ning is already in, only one more spot is open unless CNT want to change their selection policies. I also suspect they want to give the Olympics a narrative with Ding Ning going for another gold.

Hope so too. I'd much rather see one of these two win instead of ML winning for the 3rd time in a row. Though the best result would be if one of the players from the lower side of the draw wins.Men's quarter finals are about to begin and I hope to see Lin Gaoyuan and Liang Jingkun in the semis !!
