If Goh Jin Wei is injured, or any other excuse, why even send her for the World Junior? Only to lose?
GZZ lost his script inexplicably after a good lead in G1, the pressure is on him now in G2, somewhat lacking in consistency, yesterday against the Irish Nhat , he was also like that..
What's wrong with Goh Jin Wei, outplayed by Han Yue twice in two weeks ? When she demolished the THA player yesterday, I thought she's good for gold again. Maybe she should quit the junior circuit, the pressure of the burden of expectation is getting into her, better to transition to the pro circuit completely. She is gifted, a child prodigy, nurture her well.
Cai Yanyan after equalizing with G2 comprehensively, 21-13, was leading G3,11-5, then 12-8, and still lost it in the end. She was playing mostly fast clears and smashing, little net play, and making mistakes now and then. On the whole, I think she can beat Gregoria, just need to tighten her game and improve on her net play and placement shots, instead of trying to finish off the rallies quickly by attacking all the way. Can be very tiring esp when the opponent is defending well or changes tactics with more drop shots and moving her all four corners of the court.
Gao Zhengze is also a fast attacking player, after nearly two weeks of competition, I think his fitness is tested, he's already slowing down a bit during his match with the Irish opponent, Nguyen Nhat. I the match just now with the THA opponent, Kunlavut Vitidsarn, he was more error-prone than usual, a sign of fatigue,I suspect.
Overall, this year's CHN junior contingent is not as strong as last year's it seems where they had Chen Yufei, Sun Feixiang, Du Yue, Xu Ya, He Jiting, Zhou Haodong, Tan Qiang, Han Zhengdong. The CHN doubles crashing out so far, beginning with XD, though they performed well during the team event.
