MS Semifinal tomorrow : - Zhou Wenlong (CHN) vs Chen Long (CHN) - Du Pengyu (CHN) vs Hu Yun (HKG) WS Semifinal : - Zhou Mi (HKG) vs Jiang Yanjiao (CHN) - Wang Shixian (CHN) vs Wang Xin (CHN)
not necessary, don't forget Wang Xin's coach is not there Instead, Han Jingna is there as the WS coach. Wang Shixian will have the advantage again
actually, both Hu Yun and Zhou Mi are mavericks from china squad Now this tournament becomes a battlefield for China squad fighting their rebels.
Wang Xin's coach is still in the local club, right? I remember that Wang Xin said many times that she would stay in the national team for not long, the purpose is just for preparing the national games. In China, you gotta be in Li Yong Bo's personal inside circle before admitted in the national team. Wang Xin had never thought in the national team, she's a totally outsider. But Wang Xin had been in top 3 in China for 3 consecutive years, therefore, she was accepted in a formal competition within all the national players from team 1 and team 2, amazingly, she defeated them all, she was the best in that round of competition, therefore, by regulation, she went to the 1st team immediately. Usually a player has to be admitted first to the 2nd team, then the 1st team. Wang Xin was an exceptional because she defeated everyone in both team 1 and team2. Of course, her life in the national team would not be easy, she understood that, so she said her goal was not compete internationally, but just for preparing the national game, and she will go back to the local club after the national game. That's just what she said, (for not irritating other players), if she's doing good, she could stay longer, who knows ?!
A friend texted me saying Gao/Wei won the second set 21-13. Oh no! They could end up like Trikus/Minarti who got tired at the third set. My friend said that they're really really impressive, especiall with their age.
