    JR/LP style even more fun to watch than asian style. you can tell they really use their eyes and head when they play.

    Yes but unlike say JE/ML they love to play the fast stuff as well. A unique blend. JR is a magician at times...pity about consistency.

    I still believe Lu Lan is more talented than Maria. Today Maria won partially on fitness and focus.

    Lu Lan lost focus twice in 3rd game, allowing Maria to rake easy points.

    Lu Lan is still in the learning curve, a more experienced player like Zhang Ning or XXF would not have made the mistake.
