    ST will continue to rise, she has the self-confidence and fighting spirit, constantly egging herself on.

    Of the 3 rising JPN stars–Minatsu, Sayaka and Nozomi– I see Sayaka as the one with the most "game". The other two are more meat and potatoes type of players whereas Sayaka is more of a shot maker. Still love little Noz though :D

    So it's LXR v WYH again. WYH must be scratching her head figuring out how to overcome LXR. I haven't watched any WYH matches recently so have no idea how she is playing. Based on this LXR match, I don't think WYH's style can trouble her. But I will continue to throw my support to WYH :)

    yeah, they are pretty good. I only saw them played together once (during HK Open 2012).

    I have always liked Lee Chun Hei, the reigning WJC Gold Medallist in BD.

    The CHN sports commentators are really good, their game analysis, what the players are doing, how certain points are won and lost, as well as interesting anecdotes. One of them is Gong Weijie, an ex-national player, the other one I didn't get his name.

    Their undoing is their inconsistency. A lot of winners, a lot errors. The experienced ZN and ZYL can bide their time and they will win.

    Chau Hoi Wah used to live in Toronto and I believe she trained at Lee's. but a few years ago she moved back to HK and start playing for HK.
