Minatsu is 19 already, I think. Yes, she is probably your year? Too busy studying at the moment . I'm sure she will improve a lot once she gets more exposure .
You will. Soon. She is currently in the B team for Japan. She lost narrowly to Sung Ji Hyun 21-19 in the rubber last year, and beat Gu Juan 21-14 21-12 just two weeks ago. And she is only 15 .
Birgit Michels used to be known as Birgit Overzier before she got married last year (I think). I have observed that Butet certainly face problems whenever she meet tall opponents like the Europeans. I miss the days when INA has 2 top XD pairs in the World Ranking.
Well giant-killer Yamada who scalped TH the day before surprised again. So too was our very own diminutive Gu Juan, whom I believe is the first Singaporean woman to have gained a place in the QF of AE in recent years. Good luck to the two of them.
Sung ji Hyun Lost?? I was reading all the comments for 2nd round matches but found no comment on the defeat of sung ji hyun to Petya nedelcheva what happen? was the match good?
Fidget has gently reminded me that I had picked up the phrase from him : http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php/90553-French-Open-2010-Anyone-coming-Let-s-(try-to)-get-together-!?p=1555795&viewfull=1#post1555795 I was trying to figure out where the posts were located. Now I know .
