I beg to differ, most likely 3-2 to CHN (3-1 possible too) as I'd expect at least one of the WD to go CHN , if not both.
I know Park Joo Bong very well. He is an extremely good coach. He knows how to analyse the opponents game very well and tell his players how to win in tournaments. That is why Japanese players have improved by leaps and bounds. I certainly hope that Park Joo Bong will come back to coach Korea when his contract ended in Japan this year.
Both of them going for the same shot a number of times is a clear sign of lack of understanding in the CHN pair.
If Tang Yuanting gets to play later, I'd like to see how she thinks for herself and how steady her nerves and ability to overcome adversity.
WTF ? I went to study when WSX was leading 9-4 in the second set and now I see Japan 1 - 0 China. Did lightning strike???
Despite Wang Shixian's defeat, China can still win easily if only they fielded their usual women's double pair. Why did Zhao Yunlei go back to China early again?
Injured,ill,Irascible.....Cat fight with Tian Qing...,Celebrating Chinese new year....plenty of reasons.......she left China hanging in the mid air. After all she is too 5 x World Champion and 2x Olympic Champion...
I guess she misses her family and feels bad not spending time with them during the Lunar New Year, and asked to go home early as there is still a few days left in the 15-day CNY celebration. But what's Yu Yang doing here, hanging around when she should be playing with Tang Yuanting yesterday and today?
