Key Matches of Round 6
Men's
Match 26: I anticipate a close match between Bayi Dashang and Shandong Luneng. Shang Kun and Zhang Chao from Shandong Luneng have the record of winning over Fan Zhendong. Can they repeat their success and put Shandong Luneng ahead of Bayi Dashang? It is possible if they make changes to their line-up, putting Fang Bo in the last match to secure the last point.
Match 27: Shanghai Zhongxing was clean swept by Tianjin Quanjian in the last round. Shanghai Zhongxing might be eager to win this match to put themselves back in the top 4 but it won't be an easy match. Despite Xu Xin is way more experienced than athletes of Shenzhen Baoan, I would say never rule out the underdogs especially, Zheng Peifeng and Xu Chenhao who are assigned to compete at 2018 Hungarian Open but not likely making it due to their low world ranking.
Women's
Match 28: I would love to see a battle between Chen Xingtong and Wang Manyu again, especially after that incredible match at 2017 German Open. And they might be playing against each other on Christmas Eve. Chen Ke and Wu Yang will be competing in this match as well. I believe it would be an exciting match for the Christmas Eve.
Match 26: What makes the Christmas Eve even better? Perhaps watching 2 exciting table tennis matches? We have not been seeing Liu Shiwen playing against the future generation for quite a while. It would be a great opportunity to see her playing against Chen Meng and Sun Yingsha. Let's not forget Feng Yalan who can contribute some powerful shots even standing on her opposite side are promising young athletes.
Match 27: If 2 exciting table tennis matches cannot meet your greed for table tennis, how about 3? We might be seeing Mu Zi versus Ding Ning in this match. Or Sun Mingyang, a young short-pip player playing against Ding Ning. It will be very likely Ding Ning will help the team to secure 2 points but securing the third point is crucial for the victory. Last year Bayi Jingbo comeback strongly after trailing 0-2 behind Beijing Shougang. If it happens your favorite players are not in these teams, I think watching a 5-match competition with a dynamic comeback is a pretty good way to spend your time on Christmas Eve.
The next round (Round 7) of CTTSL will be held on 26 & 27 December. Stay tuned.
