hope DuPY can win his 1st title here. 3 denmark pairs in the final. can we say that Denmark would be a serious contender for next year SC?
I think Joachim Fischer is probably the most obnoxious on-court player in the world. He's always screaming and shouting, hollering at his opponent and his partner. Making gestures and such, probably not a fun player to play against.
What a spectacle, Fischer is such a showman, nice to watch for the spectators but very distracting for the opponents.
She is obviously slowing down, not totally committed and into the game it seems, unlike before pre-Olympics. There must be a good reason for it. Her new political career, or maybe going to get married with Zhang Nan(they are a couple if I'm not wrong) or some other reason we don't know yet. That's why her XD and WD partners are being paired up with someone else as well. Just speculating.
she was admitted to the hospital a couple of days before the tournament started with a fever, not fully fit.
