2010 China Masters: Day 1 (Qualification), Yao Xue (CHN) couldn't qualify . At last year's (2010) China Masters: Day 1 (Qualification), Yao Xue (CHN) couldn't qualify. Over the last 12 months, Yao Xue hasn't made much improvement. I wonder if she has been training harder for this tournament this year? .
Because of some withdrawals, there will be only 1 qualification match. Yao Xue automatically enter the main draw. Quite surprised that it is easy to gain points for an Olympic qualification period by just entering this event.
. Qualification Day on Tue 13-Sep (today) will be very quiet. The Qualification Links that I have posted show only ONE match; * The Chan Kwong Beng (MAS)-vs-Lu Yi [4] (CHN) match. .
