Round 1 Preview
Men's: Possible Ma Long & Xu Xin encounter // Lin Gaoyuan faces off challenges
Match 3: It seems that no other team could match the line-up of Shandong Luneng, with experienced players such as Ma Long (who joins the club for 9.25 million yuan transfer fee) , Yan An, Shang Kun, Zhang Chao on the team. Shanghai Zhongxing, on the other hand, stands small despite the introduction of long-time CTTSL players Liu Jikang and Cheng Jingqi. Whoever plays against Xu Xin may be the highlight of the match and hopefully we will see a Ma Long-Vs-Xu Xin battle in round 1.
Match 5: Tianjin Quanjian becomes one of the champion contenders this season with Lin Gaoyuan and Fang Bo joining the club. However, their first match between Tianjin Quanjian and Shenzhen Baoan will be a close call. While Shenzhen Baoan's line-up may not sound glamorous (like Shandong Luneng), the team is bonded with four solid players Hao Shuai, Zhou Yu, Xu Chenhao and Zheng Peifeng (2018 Czech Open champion) and can be the dark horse of the league.
Women's: Like Another Chinese Nationals, High Hopes & Pressure On Top Players
Match 1: In the very first match of the 2018 CTTSL season, you will find Qilu Jiaotong, led by Zhu Yuling, Gu Yuting, versus Bayi Nanchang, led by Mu Zi and Chen Ke. Although I personally think Qilu Jiaotong has the upper hand, much pressure lies on Zhu Yuling's shoulder. Qilu Jiaotong pays 8.05 million yuan for Zhu Yuling's transfer fee which costs the most out of the female paddlers. I believe both the club and Zhu Yuling would like to prove with their results in the 2018 CTTSL season that the soaring transfer fee is deserved.
Match 3: Hongan Niuye anchored by Liu Shiwen and Feng Yalan will crack on an exciting match against Shandong Luneng which has promising young stars Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong joining the club this season. It simply sounds like another Chinese nationals finals and I can't find an excuse for skipping it.
Match 5: Feng Tianwei decided to serve the club from her hometown, Zhongzhou Dianlan and will lead the team to play against Beijing Shougang, which has fewer players on the team but an introduction of world-class defender Wu Yang and having a reliable leader Ding Ning will keep the team in contention.
