I think Gong is tired about all the competition, and thinking about retirement. From some CHN media sources, Gong is kinda lack of the awarness due to age and injuries. Stamina is a major problem for her now. Maybe being a celebrity is less stressful?
The papers have been reporting about him and he withdrew ? I would like to see him play but now. :crying:

OHHH! how painful! WHY on earth? i thought they were doing pretty well? and i suppose gong means gong ruina? she's considering retirement? but she isn't even old yet, is she? but it may be all for the better. she hasnt been playing up to the expected standards lately.
I saw taufiks blister the night before he played Bao, it was really gross, on minute i see what looked like a bad blister on his toe and then i see him cut it off..oh man. Its days like these that make me miss training...
