That was definitely not Misaki who was playing

. It was Reiko, and I think maybe the Macanese Zhang Zhibo, but I'm not sure. Didn't you notice she was left-handed?
It's strange that Reiko her number as 0

.
Too bad ajinyk has uploaded so few videos

My internet connection is slow. Therefore, unable to watch clearly.

If it was Reiko, or Zhang Zhibo, I cannot confirm.

Wow, there are 335,288 Takahashis in Japan, according to a survey. Ha ha, can you find the name Matsutomo

?

Yellow is team "Yonex". And if someone hasn't mentioned it, Misaki wears perfect "10"

Hey, thanks for the link. Somehow, I have a feeling you can read Japanese

. The auction for Reiko's tee was also in Jap. How much did it eventually go for?
I didn't realise Yonex has a team? They must have improved in record time.
For the only other powerhouses in Japanese badminton I am familiar with are Sanyo, Renesas and NTT East.
Yes, I think Misaki deserves to be allocated that number. Maybe she can be 10A and Reiko 10B

.
I'm now struggling to decipher the current Japanese national team list. Glad that Kaori Imabeppu managed to make it into the team. Her recent excellent performance in the Swedish International justifies her inclusion.

lol, Matsutomo is ranked 7990. As expected, Sato is ranked 1st.

From last week's World Ranking list, the Doubles pair of Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi has returned to No.22.

The week before, they were at No.27.

Hope that they will continue to perform well - to qualify for the 2012 London Olympic Games.
