I think she has beaten her the last two or three times was it not? edit: 2 out of 2 times this year, at All England (21-23 21-12 21-15) and European Championships (21-14 21-13) ...
You may be right but any win against Zhu would be a sign of good form. She's back from injury and said to be motivated to prepare WC on home soil.
Yeah I think they are evenly matched but Schenk is in the best period of her career. Pi did win the previous 2 times before: 2009 WC (15-21 21-15 21-19) and 2009 Malaysian GP Gold (21-19 26-24). Age is on you know who's side . 2010 WC would indeed be a good motivator . AE interview extract: ""My tactics weren't as good and I didn't find a solution to beat her. I made too many mistakes and wasn't confident enough," Pi said. "Maybe my preparation wasn't good enough to combat the way she played today. The injuries did affect me a little but it's not the only reason I lost." She added: "Juliane kept playing the shuttle right into the middle, but not with any pressure" she said. "That meant I couldn't counter-attack. I was left to force the game and I couldn't. And when I got frustrated I couldn't take the right options." Not much improvement at the Euro Championships, quite the opposite even ... or was she injured again there? Don't really remember . Anyway I'll just leave it as it is, the tophalf of the schedule is just as tricky to choose for Fanbad.

I'm sure you will have to be very strict and invalidate this pick! Actually I changed it at the very last minute from "Blank" to the Polish but turns out it was 1 minute too late ...
