ReplyDeleteHi Zest Light, haven't hear from you for quite a while! I tend not to be too optimistic about the the Chinese team. The warm-up match was a close game between Fan Zhendong and Liang Jingkun but I do think there are quite a number of tough competitors out there at the Asian Games. I think the Chinese women enjoy an edge over the other teams with Japan sending their B team but the Korean men will be a threat to the Chinese in the team event so does the singles. Let alone, the door is quite open in the mixed doubles field. The podium is up for everyone and given the packed schedule, the results could be even more unpredictable. What are your thoughts on the 2018 Asian Games?
