Bookmark him, Yan An is going to be a star!

Yan An and Feng Yalan

Keep this name in your mind. This time, you can't blame that the name is a tongue-twister. Yan An, very simple.

We had already informed that this 18 year old kid is creating waves in the Chinese super league. There is more now.
In the Harmony Open China Pro Tour event, he first beat the World No. 1 Wang Hao and went on to beat Xu Xin (who had just recently beaten him in the Universiade games 4-0!)

Yan An is at this very moment playing Zhang Jike, the World Champ in the semi finals and is trailing 0-2.

Watch him play!

Ma Lin upset by Alexey Liventsov (4-3) 11-5,11-2,7-11,11-9,3-11,9-11,11-7 in the very first round of the main draw in the 2011 Harmony China Open ITTF Pro Tour event. Liventsov is ranked 120 in the world.


What must have really hurt is that he lost to a relatively unknown player in front of his home crowd.
