2018 CTTSL is back after a one-month hiatus! Some players have just played the Swedish Open and Austrian Open earlier this month and may be still fighting jet lag or perhaps hoping to turn their experiences into excellence at the league. Let's dive in to see when and who to follow in round 4 of 2018 CTTSL!
Round 4 Preview: Big Challenges Despite Questionable Form
Men's Round
Match 16: Liang Jingkun has just won his first World Tour men's singles title at the Austiran Open and I could not wait to see more from him especially playing against Anhui Langkun, a team comprised predominantly of players of his age.
Match 20: Ma Long had been to the 2 World Tours but withdrew due to a knee injury. It is very likely that he would sit out round 4 to heal his injury. However, Shandong Luneng is still a very strong team to beat even without Ma Long and could go neck and neck against Bayi Nanchang led by Fan Zhendong.
Women's Round
Match 20: I would be very much interested in watching Feng Tianwei playing against Wang Manyu and Chen Xingtong. Although they might not be at their best shape after all the travelling and competitions at World Tour, coping with a bad day is just part of the competition.

Some may question the reasons for keeping the live stream link column blanked out. In fact, there are platforms streaming some of the CTTSL matches such as Zhibo TV, Luneng app and other TV channels but seemingly some of these platforms are accessible by mainland Chinese users only. Therefore, I tend not to put those platforms in the column to avoid confusion. I will try my best to source the links which are available for viewers across the globe and put them in the column (for live streaming) and results (for video replay).
As you may have also noticed the results are not updated right after the matches because I might not be around the computer following the matches live when schoolwork is super busy. I will put the live scoring link on each CTTSL post. You can find the match results corresponding to the match no. and google translate would help you identifying the line-up and players. I hope this won't create much inconvenience and I promise I will keep things updated as soon as possible.
Here are the rosters for each team. (Source: CTTSL)
