I'm wondering if Ye Zhaoying is still playing for China. Didn't hear about her for quite some times. I think when at her best, she's the best woman single player in the world ever! Agree? Also how are the stastistics between her matches against Camilla Martin, and against Gong Zhichao? Thank you
Re: Ye Zhaoying Oh you are looking for the best woman - that has to be Susi Susante - I think she would make mincemeat of all of them...
Re: Ye Zhaoying Susi always made it look easy, and her movement about the court was incredibly efficient.
Re: Ye Zhaoying agree, susi susanti is better than ye zhaoying. for chinese player, i think li lingwei is better than ye.
Re: Ye Zhaoying Yes agreed! Ye ZhaoYing is very similar to Zhao Jianhua in technical ability relative to the female players that is. On her day, she is unmatched, she has ever beaten Susi in straight sets under 5 points each before. Not once, but 2 or 3 times. Which shows what she is capable of. However, she lacks consistency probably because she was beset with some personal problems throughout much of her career. Likewise for Zhao, Morten Frost and Ardy Wiranata both have ever admitted publicly to the press that on 'his' day, Zhao is simply untouchable. However, Yang Yang was a lot more successful as he was more consistent though I don't think a head-on clash with both players on top of their game will see Yang Yang emerge the winner.
Re: Ye Zhaoying I consider Ye Zhaoying one of the best female players that appeared lately. Don't heard about personal problems but mostly about her mental strenght. From the games I watched between her and Susi, it's Ye who usually makes the unforced errors. Technically I consider Ye better. After she learned to play more patiently, she was able to beat Susi. Similar story between Han AiPing and Li Ling Wei. I like Han's style but she loses to Li on tournaments. But heard that during practice, Han won most of the times.
for me i prefer ye zhaoying... i prefer her attacking style compared to susi's long rallies game... i also prefer huang hua's game... btw, where is huang hua now? any news?
Former world champion Ye zhaoying played billiard in a reality show.She is so great,run a marathon and climbed a 7,500 meters mountain.Himalayas is her next objective. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5GMLOfi57w
She is quite good in pool. I remember she play golf also. I'm surprised that she can run marathon mainly because of her size.
Ye Zhaoying has come out confirming that she was ordered to throw her match against her compatriot in the 2000 Olympics (not sure if old news): https://www.nst.com.my/sports/badmi...n-star-ordered-throw-olympic-semi-sydney-2000 Previously, I think only Zhou Mi came on record stating that she was ordered to throw her match against Zhang Ning in the 2004 Olympics.
https://www.scmp.com/sport/china/ar...zhaoying-claims-she-was-ordered-throw-olympic It looks like fresh news to me, I see this everywhere in the online newspapers.
Just read the news that Ye ZhaoYing was forced to lose that Semifinal in Sydney2000 on Purpose as not to tire GongZhicao and now she lives in exile with her name removed in Baidu Weibo etc. was given only 13,900 Euros which is A chump sum in todays money for once in a lifetime opportunity. the only though was to ensure the country’s success, the Olympics is the most important for China’. She will be considered a traitor if she beats Gong and Lost to Camilla in that Final. hope these things never happen again. The allegations took badminton world by storm.
China is forever control people's destiny, if they want a player to win, a player has to win; if they want a player to lose, a player has to lose...
I wonder if the same happened with HBJ vs CYF in the Semi of the Olympic. CYF had a much better chance of beating TTY compared to HBJ.
Yeah , i asked my chn friend , you have to bow to the system (GV). Its not you that earned the gold, but the GV are the one that give it to you. Government can give to you , also can take it away from you. For example, 90% likes MaYun in the past (Alibaba owner) but now 70% people in CHN hates him.
Yes its very hard to say. imo Ye and Gong is much closure in stature compared to He and Chen. Ye is already 2x World Champ (not played every year) while Gong happens to be WR1 at that time but she was beaten against Ye in WC final. So it must be really really close, its not like Chen and He so obviously i hope that doesnt happen in CYF and HBJ case but people will just speculate while the XD2020 met in Olympic Final which is you can give it your all since the winner will still be CHN.
