Quick Notes:
1. MD: With the big guns sitting out this event, the podium is up for everyone. Sun Wen / Zhang Yudong ended up 4th at the 2017 Chinese National Games and is the top seed of the meet but Yan An/Zhou Yu, Xue Fei/Wang Chuqin, Zhou Qihao/Liang Jingkun, Yu Ziyang/Liu Dingshuo are medal contenders as well.
2. WD: The competition field is insanely intense for the women. The finalists at 2017 Chinese National Games ( Mu Zi/Gu Yuting and Zhu Yuling/ Chen Meng) conquered the top 2 seeds positions. Of course we could not count out multiple World Tour women's doubles champion, Chen Xingtong and Sun Yingsha.
3. XD: The huge favorite of the event definitely goes to the 2018 Asian Games mixed doubles champion (Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha) and 1st runner-up (Lin Gaoyuan / Wang Manyu)
4. XD Final: A replica of the 2018 Asian Games mixed doubles finals, 2018 Youth Olympians Wang Chuqin / Sun Yingsha won 4-3 over Lin Gaoyuan / Wang Manyu. The newly crowned mixed doubles national champion will join force at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games coming up this October! I hope this mixed doubles title will boost their confidence heading into the Games.

6. MD Final: Long-time men's doubles partner at 2017 CTTSL Shang Kun / Zhang Chao prove that they are at top shape and are yet to retire. They make a 4-0 clean sweep over Zhou Kai / Xu Chenhao in the finals.
