    ZN though says she will play on, unlikely she will be staying for too long. XXF wants to cook soup for LD. so only ZL and LL left along with other younger flowers.

    on the WD side, YW/ZJW gonna retire, now ZYW and WYL also says they had enough (yes, they said that to media after yesterday)

    LYB and coaches have a lot of work to do. their hold on the SC as well as UC is not that tight anymore.

    ZN's husband has the identical name (Yu Yang) even in Chinese characters.

    Rightly so. It was not won through lucky draw or CHN team knocking each other out. Maria was simply better than LL, despite Home advantage.

    In that case, if he played on Circuit at any point, this will be him. WBF database keeps all player with their player ID.

    In all tournaments current Yu Yang is referred to as Yu Yang (F)

    DEN playing very well. KOR a little out of sorts, but take nothing away DEN have been focussed and direct in their play.

    JR serve still not A class. He has changed his style over the past year or so. He used to stand very straight, now he leans forward.......

    Ha Always has a lot to say.........he jumping around think he want to come on as substitute and hit some big ones!!

    China's UC will still be extremely strong.

    WS Lineup:

    Zhu Lin
    Lu Lan
    Wang Lin or Wang Yihan

    WD Lineup:
    Yu Yang/Du Jing
    Zhao Tingting/Gao Ling

    This is still a very tough lineup to beat.

    KOR come out of the blocks like Usain!

    5-1 already, they look instantly sharper, hope the urgency doesn't shock DEN pair.
