Men's Singles quarter-final results:

Ma Long vs Zhang Jike 4:3 (8:11, 3:11, 12:10, 11:8, 11:6, 9:11, 11:5)
Kim Minseok vs Masato Shiono 4:3 (11:6, 11:5, 11:8, 3:11, 4:11, 7:11, 11:6)
Xu Xin vs Abdel-Kader Salifou 4:0 (11:8, 11:6, 11:8, 12:10)
Wang Hao vs Fan Zhendong 1:4 (9:11, 12:10, 5:11, 3:11, 9:11)

Zhang Jike lost to Ma Long :(
Another fantastic comeback by Masato Shiono from being down 3:0 but unfortunately he lost the 7th set.

Men's Singles semi-final matches:


Ma Long vs Kim Minseok (11:30')
Xu Xin vs Fan Zhendong (12:30')

Note: Semi-final will be on 12/1/2014 and all times are in local time (+4 GMT)

I think Ma Long and Fan Zhendong will get into final.

Zhang Jike Shiono and Wang Hao did not make it..... oh whyy

The match between ZJK and ML seemed to have lacked the usual 'intensity' in terms of the length of the rallies. Shiono's performance was commendable, really hoped he could fight ML. Wang Hao really seemed unmotivated against his Bayi teammate Fan Zhendong... we know he could simply use tactics to defeat Yan An and Xu Xin.

More than that, but you are correct that the record is heavily skewed in favor of Ma Long (29-7). Still, current form matters a lot in comparing two players of very similar level. In the semi-final, at least, Xu Xin was on fire...I can't see Ma Long winning this easily.

yeah either way it is between ML or XX, I can expect both will not win easily..XX is really on his game in semi by the way
