She's shorter and about 6 years older. Bae Youn Joo is the darker baby-faced one .
Sung Ji Hyun seems to have gotten her energy back. She was looking lethargic for some months.
 
I was going to put in a last second PAW on the korean WD after watching the warmup on court 2 but I've already picked enough and only picked "sure" ones ... Wasn't sure who I saw in the German Open but looks like one of them is in the pairing this time around :D

I might be wrong, but I think it's Court 1, not Court 2. Courts 1&2 on the swissopen website = Court 1 on TS, while Courts 3&4 = Court 2, from different angles.

Anyway, this KOR WD pair defeated this JPN pair at the German Open.

Haha was just thinking something wasn't right there. Ji Hyun v Youn Joo is a tonguetwister all by itself already :rolleyes:
Guess you could call it Sung vs Seung ;)
