It's time to send the young pairs out to AG for more exposure. If KKK/CCM continue to fail to perform, scrap the pair. I guess what will the coach say this time.
marvelous performances by WMC and WYH, could we actually see a tournament where ZN and XXF have entered but not contested the final, let alone not win it??

OHH NO... ALL THAIs gone in MS... !!!!!!! Good job for Boonsak and Poompat .. u guys did the best dispite lost in rubber set
cd be.. she admitted herself in an interview with Sina Sports but thn again, never under-estimated the chinese young players espec those from the 1st team who train together and are familiar with each other.. well, as XXF put it, next target is in the coming Asian Games..
Well, that's the CHN power, as they produce generation after generation of good (or even great) players. The fairly no name players can be top ranked ones, if they are given the chances (e.g. immigrant to another nation). Also, even though Wang Yihan did not play JO, but she had to participate in World University game. Therefore, travel/stamina is not an excuse for XXF. Plus, personally I think Wang Yihan has the model face/body as well.
