Both Ma Long and Dimitrij Ovtcharov get off a good start in the last round but it might be a tough match coming up this weekend. On the women's side, Shandong Luneng remains undefeated after 6 rounds leading the leaderboard, can they maintain the lead? Find out more about Round 7 of 2018 CTTSL.
Preview
Men's
Match 32: Tianjin Quanjian and Shandong Luneng will fight for the top spot on the leaderboard in this round. With the return of Ma Long who has been resting his knee injury for several weeks, I believe Shandong Luneng has an upper hand in maintaining their lead while Tianjin Quanjian led by Lin Gaoyuan and Fang Bo could put up a challenge.
Match 35: Dima had an amazing start in the last round despite the fact that they played against a weaker team. I suppose this round will be a more interesting one because he might have a chance playing against Xu Xin. Howerver, the encounter is not guaranteed as Shanghai Zhongxing tends to play around with the lineup when they play against strong team. For instance, they have Zhao Zihao as their first player instead of Xu Xin in the last round playing against a much stronger team Bayi Nanchang. Their strategy had almost given Shanghai Zhongxing a shot of winning but they let the chance slipped in the last match. Anyways, it will be an interesting match.
Women's
Match 33: Shandong Luneng is on fire as they haven't lost a match thanks to a super consistent performance from Wang Manyu. Bayi Nanchang with 2 short-pips players, Mu Zi and Sun Mingyang might put up a challenge for the current leader but is it enough to break their winning streak?
Match 35: We haven't seen Liu Shiwen playing against Ding Ning for quite some time. Are we going to see one this round? Besides of that, an attack-versus-defense-battle, Feng Yalan versus Wu Yang sounds a great match to look forward to.

Live Scoring at CTTSL
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)
