No idea what happenned to Zhang Ning.

Despite the misfortune, China is almost assured of the WS title with only Wang Chen standing in the way of 3 other Chinese.

Semi match-up:

Zhou Mi vs Wang Chen
Xie XF vs Gong RN

retired not WO

Based on this REPORT (http://sports.sina.com.cn/o/2003-08-29/2255561693.shtml) (click if you read Chinese), it was retired, not WO. Zhang Ning injured herself during the match against Zhou Mi.

not sure if the report is accurate

It's a blessing for Zhou Mi actually.
At least she could collect some "bonus" ranking points now. Otherwise, her campaign would have ended in last 8.:)

Not really... actually we should treat it as all Chinese finals, since Hong Kong is now part of the mainland.:)
