I agree she has talent, some coaches took her to Uber cup 2018 when she was 16 years old and considered her as "a Momota in female version". But get a medal in Olympic is a different story. Tai Tzu Ying is number 1 now and she hasn't get a Olympic medal as I remember.
I thought PBSI would fielded Jonatan Christie instead of Ginting and replacing Gregoria to Fitriani? Just hoping this is the right choice.
But still in team event needing more experienced player. If it's do or die for THA, don't think they would field Chochuwong instead of Intanon unless they would take a gamble or have no other option.
They probably thought indonesia would field minions again and try this kim/mathias combo to make them frustated with their defense.
I think you want to put CM in your list. She has created many histories. Well, both Ginting and Fitriani have good H2H against their opponents. Hey, long time no see. Where are you now? You used to be so active here before I became a member here.
Indeed, no need to field their best players against tough rival Japan since they have secured quarters spot.
In Olympics, I think you know that you don't have to meet all top 8 players right. It is about draw. She is fearless. We have to see how she does against the other mentioned players.
For Fitriani case, exactly she has positive head to head stats, 2-0 with last encounter happened two years ago, Sudirman Cup 2017. Mia Blichfeldt has good progress lately, looking at her world ranking. Let's see whether the H-2-H stats is going right this time.
First, take a ticket at Olympic qualifying round. ^-^ One more thing, You should watch the match between Chen Xiaoxin vs Tai Tzu Ying and see how a player actually beat Tai Tzu Ying. Tai made make mistakes today, I think.
