Well Done Sung Ji Hyun !!!

In Round 2 tomorrow, Thu 21-Jan-2010, SJH will be facing the winner of this later match;
Linda Weni FANERTI[INA] -vs- [MAS] Mew Choo WONG

Probably Wong Mew Choo, MAS Womens Singles No.1, will be SJH's next opponent.
.

[cooler]

If we compare SJH with Lydia Cheah, who do you think is more talented and should make the step up?

Sung Ji Hyun for sure.

i think it depend on coaching. I think SJH getting better coaching than LC.

Looking at Sung Ji Hyun yesterday, I am still far from impressed with her performance and her staying power. No doubt she is very good especially at frontcourt, but she lacks staying power and had to resort to gamesmanship to break WMC's run at the end of games 2 and 3. Luckily, she was already gifted the match with WMC's errors.

Both Baes (Youn Joo and Seung Hee) are better overall although this may be academic when they play each other.

Will SJH be able to set up more netplay challenges when playing against BYJ at the Quarter-Finals tonight?

At Round 2 yesterday, SJH's match was more than twice longer than BYJ's. Surely, SJH would be tired to play long and deep rallies tonight.

Recapping Round 2 results;

Youn Joo BAE[KOR] defeated [THA] Salakjit PONSANA 21-16, 21-11 in 30 mins

Ji Hyun SUNG[KOR] defeated [MAS] Mew Choo WONG 12-21, 21-18, 21-17 in 62 mins

Chris, in a match between teammates, one's typical strong points would not be that strong due to familiarity. Otherwise Lin Dan would never lose to his teammates in training.

That's true.

IMHO, BYJ should defeat SJH tonight.
BYJ is much fresher than SJH in this match.

Sung Ji Hyun

Little has been mentioned about young Sung Ji Hyun at BadmintonCentral.

Let's start a thread for her.

Her BIG achievement was when she defeated Zhou Mi (World No.1) at the 2009 Macau Open.

.
Just found out that Zhou Mi has defeated Sung Ji Hyun, 21-9, 21-15, in Round 1 at the 2010 All-England Super Series, played yesterday.

It seems that Korea WS department's performance has dropped recently. Not only Sung Ji Hyun, but also Bae Seung Hee, Kim Moon Him, and Bae Youn Joo also lost in earlier round of AE. They did badly in last week German Open as well. What happened actually? After such a good performance in Korea Open and Malaysia Open, they are exhausted? hehe...

They did badly in last week German Open as well.

Would have been a shocker if any of them had won a match in Germany as NONE of them played.

What you saw this week was merely a failure to produce more upsets. They all lost to higher-ranked opponents and Bae Youn Joo did pull off an upset over Petya (WR#15). Bae Seung Hee is the highest ranked of the Koreans at #16 and the four Koreans were beaten by the world #7, #8, #10, and #11.

It proves that people have higher standard for Korea and Korean players.

Opps, sorry. I think I wrote the wrong tournament. I mean the SCG Thomas&Uber Cup 2010 Preliminary Asia Zone. Haha... I was a bit blur recently due to heavy workloads. They did badly at the group stage but they were able to come back at the final stage. Hehe... sorry.. But from what I can see from the Korea Open and Malaysia Open to this All England, I sense that their performance has dropped. Maybe youngsters still have up and down. This applies to chinese youngsters as well. Hehe... hope they can perform better in the upcoming important event - Uber Cup. I hope they can at least get a silver. Hehe...
