She is very nice....

She could be considered as one of the top European players who can beat many Asian professionals! Maybe she and Tine could both pose a problem to the Chinese players ?

She seems to be playing better and better. A patient player. I thought she has slimmed quite a bit and this is good for her mobility. The first time I saw her, she appeared to be on the heavy side!

wow yes i have never heard of her before but to hear that she is 12th in the world, wow where has she been hiding from me all this time haha. But yes she has deffinetly some accomplismhents there hope to see her more and what she and tina can do against the asian players.

there was an interesting interview with her coach on badmintonsite.com a while back, where he talked about her training and how she's one of the few players on the women's tour who can respond to in-game coaching advice (because of the organization of her training).
