    I watched 2 of Okuhara's match on court, she's really something, very calm (which is not expected consider her age), and very self-aware of rite or wrong on court.

    Okuhara, just 19 and with surgery, managed to survive a horrific knee injury from one Malaysia Open, is an example of a good sportswoman, polite, cultured and patient. :)

    Japanese players are known for their behavior.

    Carolina Marine is more known for her shouting and wasting time on court. In contrast, most of Japanese players are very well behaved, very courteous and disciplined. I admire them and respect them for that. As a result they hardly get disturbed by opponents tactics.

    I don't know. Maybe you're right. It's got to be quite recent. I heard it from the commentator.

    How's school today? only joking haha.

    Well SK seems too cautious and tentative and not quite the player I expected.

    Can't blame SK as even MF said CL's defence is strong.

    What injury did she have? She is certainly going to be a crowd favourite with her politeness.

    For sure. But injured at age 19? Can't be good in terms of her durability.

    Looks like Marin is not endearing herself with anyone yet, with her court manners and attitude.

    Yes, Yamaguchi has more power than her. If she had Yamaguchi's power, she'd be no. 1 tomorrow hehe.
