Li Xuerui ( 李雪芮 )

[cobalt]

.
If Li Xuerui can defeat an experienced Yao Jie so easily; 21-08, 21-09 in just 24 minutes, at the 2011 Bitburger Open, played just minutes ago;

I am sure that Li Xuerui will be a top/main CHN WS player in the next 1 year or 2.

Chris, you wrote this post on November 6, 2011. Looks like you were right on the money!

Ahh, I remember now. kwun too was prophetic when during the Li Xuerui vs Wang Yihan semifinal of the INA Open prior to the London Olympics last year which LXR prevailed, he prognosticated " A prelude to the Olympic Final?"

Smoothly into cruise control at the German Open, LXR eases into a QF matchup agaisnt Japan's Sayaka Takahashi. If she gets past the Japanese girl, a mouth-watering SF beckons: against either Juliane Schenk on home ground, or the exciting (and Limsy's most favourite) Tai Tzu Ying!

You are limited to ONE only, that's what the law says.

Chances are good that LXR vs Juliane Schenk in the SF...

LXR still seems to have a lapse of concentration problem. Maybe she hasn't fully settled in yet, after all, the GER Open is her first tournament of the year, excluding the KOR Open where she retired from injury in the first round after only a few points played. Also bear in mind she and the rest of the CHN team took a nine-day holiday for the Spring Festival in the middle of last month, thereby disrupting their winter training.

I too look forward to seeing her play Juliane Schenk whom I regard as the fittest, physically the strongest, WS player - nothing against Tai TY. Just curious to watch how LXR handles a superbly fit opponent after having watched Wang Yihan tussled with Juliane twice recently. To my observation, Juliane is always at her best against CHN players,particularly the elite ones.

You're right! Juliane just dismissed TTY 21-14, 21-16, and we can hear the wailing in one particular house in Malaysia!

Now, LXR has to do her part to ensure a meeting with JS....

.... but blew it!

and Sayaka Takahashi scalped the top seed 17-21 21-12 21-17 in less than an hour! Good news for Sayaka, bad news for LXR. Wonder what happened out there....

I think this is an one time occurence.

Gah! She was doing ok so far...
Besides, most other players have been kinda slumming over the past month, to different degrees...

Li Xuerui just lost a second time of the year to an unseeded Japanese girl. She is so inconsistent. Li Xuerui and Wang Shixian should get kicked out.

[Ton-Min-Bad]

^Inconsistent? Maybe or a tactical gameplan in order to do better at the All England...

I hope you said that tongue-in-cheek
