Round 7 Predictions
Men's Round 7
Match 32: Shandong Luneng pulled down the defending champion in the last round. Coming in strong, could they halt the winning streak of Shandong Weiqiao? Zhang Chao and Lin Gaoyuan belong to the same provincial team. They know each other well and could put up a close match. Shang Kun is also a huge challenge for Shandong Weiqiao as he has a pretty good shot of winning over Lin Gaoyuan and Yan An. Whereas Fang Bo is a solid player to secure the decisive points for the team. Get ready for a speedy and dramatic match on boxing day!
Match 31: Bayi Dashang will be playing against its tough opponents from last year, Shanghai Zhongxing. Despite Shanghai Zhongxing is less competitive with the absence of Shang Kun, Bayi Dashang does not have any advantage either because Fan Zhendong is healing his back injury while Zhou Yu caught a cold and is not sharp. Zhou Kai from Bayi Dashang was outstanding in the last round winning Shang Kun and Zhang Chao. It would be a chance to prove himself If he plays against Xu Xin in this round and repeat what he did last year, winning Xu Xin.
Match 35: It would be awesome if we get to see Yu Ziyang plays against Liu Dingshuo. The players are of the same generation and have played against each other for many times but you would never get bored of it because it is simply exciting. Liu Dingshuo is known for his powerful flips while Yu Ziyang has great touches and versatility. Yu Ziyang is the men's singles champion of the 2014 Japan Open and has earned his spot to the Team World Cup. It is a great chance to see how ready is the youngster prepared for the Team World Cup.
Women's Round 7
Match 32: This will be a warm up for the Chinese trials for Team World Cup. As 4 out of the 7 players will be competing in this match. Grand finals champion Chen Meng, the best Chinese female chopper Wu Yang, Sun Yingsha and Chen Xingtong will hope to hone their craft here before the make-it-or-break-it moment.
Match 33: Shandong Luneng has not lost a match after 6 rounds and is likely to extend its winning streak here. What makes this match exciting is that we might have a chance to see a big showdown between Ding Ning and Zhu Yuling.
Match 31: We have no clues for the absence of Mu Zi and Feng Yalan in the previous round (perhaps they are preparing for the trials). However the match will be as exciting as it would be no matter they show up or not. Zhang Rui had some staggering performance from the last round. Her counter-backhand had created problems for Chen Meng whose backhand is world-class. I am looking forward to seeing a contest between short-pips with Zhang Rui playing against Sun Mingyang from Bayi Jingbo
