I think she has stepped up her game a notch the last year whilst at the same time her euro-competition is on the slide, with most of them being on the wrong side of 30 already (Pi, Yao, Meulendijks). If I had to pick between them for my PAW I would have chosen Schenk today. Foolishly I had used her already in the other fantasy game FANBAD. Thought Pi versus Nedeltcheva was more risky a pick in the QF. My alternate was Ella Diehl over Yao Jie. Jie is an amazing player when you see her live but her fitness is what let's her down, which is pretty much Diehl's strongpoint. Also Schenk is creeping up to 28 so she should have about put in her 10000 hours.
Should be interesting tomorrow, other than the WS anything is possible. Tine R being the clear favorite there.
I agree, the Finals look pretty good, might go across and watch!
I agree on YJ & ED......I guess I just don't really like Schenk's style I like players who are pretty to watch & PHY has excellent technique. Schenk is a bit stodgy...yup those hrs are paying off now!
