CCTV-5 and Yangshipin are live streaming the WTT Macau Championship match featuring Lin Shidong versus Gao Chengrui.

This match is played as best-of-five sets, each set to 11 points. Currently, both players are drawing lots and warming up, with the official match starting shortly.

Lin Shidong is ranked first in the world, far above Gao Chengrui’s 30th position. Especially following the European Grand Slam, Lin Shidong’s technique has certainly advanced, and his mental resilience has become stronger. Lin’s forehand is more refined, and his serve returns are more aggressive, but he must be cautious of Gao Chengrui’s fast attacks and aggressive plays. In today’s match, Lin Shidong has the greater chance of winning. My personal prediction is that Lin will defeat Gao 3-0 or 3-1. What do you all think?
