At the 2011 Chinese Taipei Open GP Gold, Sung Ji Hyun [4] made it to Semi-Finals, to be played tomorrow, Saturday 10-September.

Her Semi-Finals match will be a tough one (IMHO).

Her opponent Pai Hsiao Ma is in top form. She (Pai Hsiao Ma) has already eliminated 2 top seeds in earlier rounds (Cheng Shao Chieh [1] in Round 2, and Yip Pui Yin [5] at the Quarter-Finals)

Good Luck to Sung Ji Hyun.

At the Finals today (Sunday 11-Sep), Sung Ji Hyun [4] will be facing Ratchanok Inthanon [3].

IMHO, Ratchanok Inthanon will be very difficult for Sung Ji Hyun to defeat.

more to come for Sung...

Talent-wise, I honestly don't think she's as good as Rat. Rat made a lot of mistakes, as she is prone to at this stage of her career. The (slightly) more experienced Sung took advantage and swept home.

You never feel Sung nor BaeYJ are good enough to threaten the Chinese team at the moment whereas with a player like Rat, there is always a chance for an upset. Even a Chinese coach (can't remember which one) pointed out how dangerous Rat can be.

[event]

I think Ratchanok is one of the players who has trouble with Sung's style. She beat Sung once but hasn't taken a game the other times. She has been troubling the Chinese players more. I won't deny the potential. Obviously, at only 16, Ratchanok's future looks bright, but that doesn't take away from Sung Ji Hyun. She has beaten Jiang Yanjiao, Wang Lin, and Wang Xin this year and was very close to taking out Wang Yihan. Liu Xin is the only Chinese player to beat her this year in straight games. She's coming into her own at age 20 and that's not a bad accomplishment. Lots of players still lack consistency or fitness or confidence at that stage in their career so we'll just have to wait and see.

I must admit Sung has Rat's number. She never looks comfortable against Sung.

Just my opinion but if you ask any Chinese coach who they would prefer to avoid, I'm pretty sure they would say Rat.

IMHO, at only 16, Ratchanok is still lacking in confidence.

Just before the match, she was telling everyone how nervous she was. She, through facebook, said: "Wish God bless me amen".

2011 Denmark Open SSP

In Round 1, Wed 19-Oct, Sung Ji Hyun will be facing Yao Jie (NED). Yao Jie just won the WS title last week at the Dutch Open GP; indicating that she is in top form and she should be a tough opponent to defeat.

Let's see if SJH is able to make it to Round 2.

BTW, SJH is currently ranked World No.12, just 2 places below teammate Bae Youn Joo.

Yes, she is also ranked 11th in the Super Series ranking, putting her one spot out of qualifying for the SS Finals (once you exclude the 3rd and 4th Chinese players). There are currently six players all within 3000 points of one another, though.
