Just want to say that what you're doing here is just brilliant. For someone outside of China to take part of all this... Simply great. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteI've got a feeling Fan Zhendong can clinch the title, by the way. As for women's singles, really not sure. I don't think Miu Hirano will do it, she'll cramp under the HUGE pressure that is currently upon her. Maybe Liu Shiwen, but probably Ding Ning, would be my guess.
Thank you Magnus!
ReplyDeleteFan Zhendong is the favorite of the game but I personally wish Xu Xin win the title, or else he would have fewer chance to secure his spot in Tokyo Olympics. Also, just to support penholders!!
Liu Shiwen is doing great in the Chinese Trials, it seems that she get used to the new ball the best among the Chinese. She has been settled for silver for 2 times. Would she top the podium this time? I hope she can.
Aside from the singles, doubles are fun to watch with so many cross-nation pairs in the championships. Timo Boll and Ma Long combination will definitely be the spotlight of the championships but they will meet another Chinese pairs in the Round of 16 if they manage to win the matches prior that.
None the less, other than the Chinese there are strong competitors from Japan, Korea, the host country Germany etc. It would be a great championships to look forward to!
