    Zhou has shown something he seldom displayed: aggression, determination, confidence and resilience in this whole tournament. Among Chinese elite players, he is a huge underachiever who has all the tools to be the top dog except mental toughness and determination. Though a little late, hope he can have another chance to crack the top circle.

      The Chinese National TT Team is renowned to remove their players from international competition if they lost 2 to 3 times against foreign players. But the Chinese national coaches have a lot of patience with this dude, Zhou Qihao. Even though he won this match here, you should be able to see that he was not smooth and needs to be lubricated with WD40. This must be due to being nervous. Compare this match to other matches Zhou played against Ma Long, they are 2 different players. Zhou will under-performed once he is under the spotlight. One of Zhou's specialties is trying to be cute. They should allow younger players to compete instead of Zhou.

      Zhou has what it takes to be a top player when he beat both Ma Long and subsequently Fan ZD to win the 2020 China Championship. He underachieved because of his late of consistency and mental strength. One of his "weaknesses" is, if you are good, he can be better. But when you are bad, he can be worse.

    It was a crazy experience and the images of the matches still keep running through my head today. Professional TT is on another level! I never imagined the speed would be this crazy seeing it up close. It was a great experience for me and I'd love to watch the next WTT Contender Lagos edition

    Nah, this was not really Zhou's win it was Ovtcharov's loss.
    Lost the first game, couldn't get into it at all in the second and third.
    Back against the wall clutched his way into the fourth, but it's still too late even with great fighting spirit and resilience.
    Frustration bar is already full at that point and Zhou is no pushover, don't get me wrong, his angles, power and feeling are top notch.
    It just feels like Ovtcharov blew it in the first game (same as Franziska who did a better job) and you just cannot do that against the Chinese - you only ever get 1 chance and they know it...
    Anyway, congratz to Zhou which is on the rise now.
