I think we should not put kashyap on the front foot when tian houwei and wang zhengming are higher ranked players. Kashyap is very much an under dog here. There are 2 top 10 ranked players from china. They should take the title.
If there is one word that can describe the difference between Kashyap, and WZM/THW, it is "discipline". That brings consistency and belief to your game. But there is no doubting the pure talent and potential of those 2 guys.

Meanwhile, Tommy is making a meal of his game against Chen Yuekun. Kento Momota's big test coming up against the guy who never goes away easily- Hu Yun.

WSX may begin to show signs of strain this week, esp with her energy-sapping game both to herself and her opponent.
Kashyap had 8-1 lead in the second game, just to sacrifice that to his opponent just like that?. Now 11-7 to kashyap in second game.
