Lee has better court coverage and superior in racket skills. however, she tend to rally a lot and lacking in offensive. looks more like a early day Gong Zhichao. however, her problem is the accuracy. and often lacking in patience. from pure skill level point of view, the match should not be so close.
next match. Ha/Yim (not Kim) vs. Blair/Clark. on paper, it won't be a slaughter but the Koreans should have a pretty easy time against the English.
Jonassen Anyone noticed Kenneth Jonassen thrashed Boonsak 15-4 15-6!!! He seems to be in a KILLER form!!
Singapore has already won the match against Ukraine (3-0). They might well win 5-0 unless Druzchenko/Nozdran can make it in MX...
About Russia, I can't understand why they don't field Anastasia Russkikh in the doubles, she is world class! Nicolaj Zuev is also greatly missing the team, I don't know if he is injured or retired?...
the commentors said 300km/h record was probably created by Fu. the first game of MD between eng and kor was so awesome. ENG 17:15 KOR
a few observations of the first game: - Ha should stop screwing around and play seriously - the English should hit more to Yim who is making tons of mistakes - Ha can win almost rallies at will when he wants to. - one of the English guys have a really hard smash.
Other ties Japan has won the tie against Germany (3-0 already) Tine Rasmussen and Salakjit Ponsana are in the third game... Denmark are already leading 2-0 so Salakjit absolutely needs to win if Thailand still want to hope...
Denmark has beaten Thailand. So, in Group 1A, the top two spots will be contested by Denmark and Korea (assuming Korea beat England). In Group 1B, can't see anything other than China v Indonesia. In Group 2A, Malaysia will contest with Netherlands. In Group 2B, Singapore will contest with Japan. Therefore, tomorrow, as expected, is the group final.
