Excerpt:

...In the women's singles draw, world champion and number one seed Wang Yihan of China will face the unseeded Michelle Li of Canada in her opening match of the Games.

Canada's best against China's best! Fantastic!
Go, Michelle! One match, one outcome!

No wonder...
Used to see her in the Varsity Team of University of Toronto, but not anymore.
She is playing international and a full time player now...
Wow~~~ Good for her!

What are her chances along with Rena Wang to cause an upset ? Almost nil!

Wang Yi Han could get nervous...

Remember once LinDan lost in 1st round.

You go to the Olympics to play the best in the world.... you might as well do it right off the bat!

The draw has given Ms. Li a straight-forward proposition: Do or die.
And her life is much simplified, thereby (to paraphrase Churchill). No wasted energy and worry about 2nd round 'what-ifs' and 'maybes'. She can focus everything on this one task.

So, stay loose, and do yourself proud, Michelle! We Canucks are already proud of you, no matter what.
