Lol, you mean our Nozomi. Haven't you already switched allegiances after seeing her maul SE? I'm sure you're now a huge supporter. Seriously, she lost to a Chinese. So I suppose that is forgivable. The fact Nozomi's nemesis is meeting that of Sonia makes an otherwise boring match between two Chinese something to look forward to

Not really switched, I have seen the way the team trains and therefore it is no suprise that none of then makevit past the 1st round of tournaments (except RB/GW and CA/IB)Anyway she can play again for the next few years.

where's Ratchanok btw ? Isn't she still young enough for this ?

and who on earth was the 1st seed in the WS draw ?

The best thing about Momota Kento is that he is a leftie ! Therefore guarenteed to go on to sucess. Huang Yuxiang I have never really considered to be that great. I saw him play at the YOG and he wasn't amazing, just very good. Not really talented, more the fact that he probably hasnt dobe anything else apart from badminton his whole life. certainly not as good as Wang ZM, Zhou WL, Tian Houwei etc etc

Among these three girls, Ai, Sayaka, and Ayane, I like Ayane more than the others.
Ai plays technical, but it didn't work usually.
Sayaka, who I support as she played NewZealand2009, so powerful and decisive!
but didn't played more technical shots.
Ayane really performed well these years. But couldn't handle the powerful players like Tina.

yes, i agree with you. This batch of youngsters China sent for junior championship is not as strong as previous batches, except for Ou Dongni and Xiong Rui. lol

But I think Ai Goto is amazing. Despite her height, she can play very well, she has also beaten Saina, Porntip, Salakjit and Yippy. She is only 150cm tall! I wish I can be like her.

YES ^^ I think so .
I thought she's more technical than Eriko.
But she couldn't go farther than Eriko, recently.
last week's Russian GP,
both Ayane and Ai played with China WS player---Xiao Jia Chen

Ayane lose in three games, 21-17 8-21 13-21.
however, Ai lose in straight, 10-21 10-21.
That's what I'm thinking.

But Eriko had just lost to Yu Hirayama 0-2 in the recent Japan Industrial and Commercial Badminton Chamionship.

I think Ratchanok must be busy resting for the bigger tournament, lol. The 1st seed is some player from the Philippines, knocked out in the first round by a Chinese

I saw that quite a few of us are friends with Eriko Hirose on Facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?...341839&sk=info

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but my instincts tell me that this page is not made by the actual person but rather her fan from Indonesia.

Here's just a bit of stuff taken from the info page.

Contact Information

eriko_hirose@yahoo.co.id

Indonesian Yahoo address?

konnichiwa minnasan........\>o</....eriko hirose desu.
douzo yoroshiku ne....^^v

Bad grammar. I'm sure that Suetyan would also be able to point this out

.. It should be "Minasan konnicihwa, hirose eriko desu".. Family name comes first, given name comes last. Plus the page is updated too frequently and every wallpost is liked by her. Strange, shouldn't she be training or something most? Lastly, most people would have pics of themselves that they've taken from their own camera or something, ie: look at others' pages, it would usually have pics of themselves eating at a restaurant or something with friends or with family, etc (pics that only the real person or someone close to them would have).. This one has none of those.

Just saying

haha, me too. I don't think she is the real Eriko.

So, I didn't add her. lol.. I saw a lot of Indonesian fans creating fake profile of their favourite players like Eriko, Reiko, and etc...

I think it's better to make fan pages instead..

What the hell is this!

Eriko Hirose has Reiko's pic as the profile pic!?

**soulpx** · 07-17-2011, 05:45 AM

@jhirata yes i saw that profile too and after few seconds i knew that is not her haha
i dont know why indonesian fans just loved to clone badminton players
its easy to spot the original or fake one,
if ori they would not online so often accepting friend requests almost every second and you can see they upload off court pics of themselves.
