Event Preview

1. I just checked the opponents for China’s 11 matches; their strength is generally average.
2. Taking potential upsets into account, I predict China will win 8 to 9 matches and advance.
3. Key matches to watch tonight include the men's doubles Liang/Wang pair at 11:30 PM, Shi Yuqi in men's singles at 9:50 PM, and Feng Yanzhe/Huang Dongping this afternoon at 3 PM; these three matches are the most anticipated for the Chinese team today.
