She's just past her prime but she's done well for her age. Bending all over the court would be a nightmare for her now.There must be a story to tell. Does anybody know if Zhang Ning is injured or in poor shape or something?

Everybody can beat everybody now....even ZL lost to Yip also...there is no injury whatsoever..she lost asZN made lot of unforced errors....Why does she have to be in poor shape or injury to be beaten?
It's not easy for ZN to keep herself as world #1 at the age of 30 plus. Even Roger Federer gets beaten once in a while. No big deal.i've watched her play once during the singapore open and she TRASHED wong mew choo. she is tall and is able to cover the court well, compared to wmc who is shorter and smaller.

According to Sina sports(if you can read Chinese), Zhang Ning unable to control the drift from the air-condition. She is not injure.
Look like drift has been serious problem in a lot of major tournments. Just like XXF hitting so many birds just a few inches out against WMC in WC. Most of these stadiums are built mainly for badminton and they have not thought about that? It's sad that some players lost just because of the environmental factors.
I think Zhang Ning is just showing her age. She's like rank #1 or #2 for the past 3 or 4 years. It's tough for a women of her age, or maybe she's feeling the need to start a family. I think she'll call it quit after the Olympics.
Sorry, I don't mean to discredit Tine's win;in fact I'm delighted for her.Let's put it this way to indicate the future.i couldn't agree less ...
everyone has their off days, and tine's on a tremendous run, beating both xu huaiwen and jiang yanjiao, so she's no pushover.

Btw, "thrashed" is the correct spelling.

Tine's beginning of her best beats ZN's beginning of her worst. I don't think ZN can make it good for OG08 in CHN.No disrespect meant but indicating some reality.
