Eva Lee is a scary person to play. I saw her play before. I hit with her for a bit too, she's so good.....
Well, what can I say... They are Pros, we are not. If u get a chance, try to play with the girl, Hu junxia. I believe she trains at Orange County, too.
I watched her play too, she's so good it scares me, she was hitting with Kevin Han, and they look about the same level to me...
Age does not apply too much in badminton. Last year, a coach from my club, team up with a 12 yr old boy (his student, NY state #5 in his group) play against me and my partner. 4 of us worn out each other at the end, however, the way that little boy played really impressed me a lot. Both him and me against each other at the net, this little kid gives me so much trouble of running (rolling???) around. Well, he's been trained for 7 years, and I almost never got a coach. Ppl joked about this match as "pro vs. playground style".
Any one from CA knows this girl "Hu, Junxia"??? I think she just came from China to US for 1-2 yrs. Now, she consistantly kept her ranking within the top 3 (or 2) within the states. I heard (from a chinese newspaper interview) that she's training in Orange County. Her story kinda really impressed me a lot. If get a chance, really want to personally meet with this amazing girl.
Thanks for posting the results Kwun. Saw the new national rankings come out this morning. I had assumed they would include results from the US Open in the calculations, but I guess I was wrong. Did anybody get to watch Budiyani Setiawan play? Any comments?
