    I would choose the player who will most likely win. And I believe that to be Jonatan Christie. But who knows for sure I guess.

    I will be very surprised if this is the case, because why would Mark go to such an extent to learn Chinese, apart from the business angle.

    I think the Chinese want to see a more globalised sport too. Also, viktor speaks mandarin.

    Anthony is actually at better skill. But JOJ is more solid while anthony is still raw.

    Chinese culture is changing as the world is now open to anybody who has the means.
    Young Chinese are also changing in their thinking. What they learn from the old Chinese culture may not apply in today's world.
    The better they know of the old China, perhaps the worse it is for them to adapt to the present world.
    If Sun Yat Sen did not start the ball rolling to modernize China, she will still be in pigtails and under many 'emperors and warlords'.

    Then more Chinese players should learn to speak English, the global language.

    Yes, I read this too. You mean Mark's wife doesn't want to speak to her grandma in Mandarin?

    Anthony seems to have loosen up a little. not too tense. but still, too many error. if he has made less, then 1st game would've been different.

    Its a great gamble for INA to choose Anthony. I thought it might work since JOJ seems to be injured.

    pretty slim chance for INA to retake the Thomas Cup after 12 years.
