. Who is Minatsu Mitani? Minatsu Mitani is a Japanese Badminton player. She plays for NTT East. Here is the link about her (from NTT East): http://www.ntt-east.co.jp/symbol/badminton/ She is only 18, but she was the runner-up at our 2010 Australian Open GP last Sunday, 18-July. After watching her play, we can see that she has great potential to be a top world Badminton player. Let us start a thread to provide info about her at BadmintonCentral. Cheers... chris-ccc .
i want to bite chris why dont u create the thread for misaki? arent u say misaki is better? cheh then suddenly come and open one thread for my cuties boooooooooooooooooo ------------------------ ok,haha thanks chris for created this thread
Suddenly come and open one thread for my cuties . It was in mind too; to create a thread for Misaki Matsutomo (from Japan; UNISYS). But Misaki will need some time to recover from her injury (from her calf to ankle on her right leg), as she told me. Perhaps, after her injury is fully recovered (I would say, some 6 months later), I shall start a thread for her. .
