    Good for her. That's probably more than the prize money she will win from SS and GP.

    Can you please explain how is it going to be beneficial to China. Are you saying that by slowing her down in this match by calling out her name ceaselessly is going to slow her down in her future matches against Chinese players?

    That's the big advantage you have, when you're a female player.

    Initially I thought maybe. But I had a quick look at the rankings around the 100 mark and I found a few decent player that I didn't expect there

    However, there also a few I'd never heard of.
    Maybe on her day she could win a game, but probably not the match

    WYH at her prime was beaten badly by a Chinese college player. CM may be a better player but I doubt if she can beat a top 100 MS.

    Once a Chinese coach in Beijing told me that WS in Team A of CHN can beat the MS in team B. I don't know if it is true.

    Depends on who is in this Team B. Being China there will probably be some decent players there so I'm not sure.

    Then the players in Team B have to be worse than male college players? I don't think so...

    My thinking was Team B maybe really young players, like 14 -17 and whilst they may have better technique than that college player, who by the way was really quite good, they may lack the raw power than won him most of his points.

    Yeah, it really comes down to how strong Team B actually is.

    Exactly, or if a Team B really even exists.

    Are you lost? Wrong thread, non-original content (so copyright breach) and begging for subscribers :rolleyes: ...
