WORLD JUNIOR Championships 2011 (Taoyuan City, 28 October-06 November 2011)

I believe Yuki is stronger than she looks. She has quick feet and her play is deceptive.

Nozomi always seems to end up as the winner, even after tough matches. It is the hallmark of a champion.

 

All physical things being equal, it's the mental capacity that pushes a player across the finish line first. Noz seems to have the desire and mental toughness to pull through. Nonetheless, I've been very impressed with Fukushima and pleasantly surprised by Christin Tsai.

 

If cobalt had been on his toes, he could be 3 meals up on me already. But I knew he wouldn't bet against Sindhu so I was safe anyway

 

There are probably more Chinese players who may be better, but they won't be able to climb up the rankings, since I believe there is probably a maximum number of entries per country that are allowed to participate in the big tournaments. Unless WSX, WYH, WX and JYJ skip major events to allow the lower ranked China players to climb up, it's unlikely that they will end up in the top 10. So it's not that difficult an achievement for Nozomi.

 

The physical side is definitely not equal. Nozomi has calf muscles that would put a gymnast to shame. Probably the reason why she can glide around the court like a figure skater. Poor Yuki had to summon all her mental strength to try to right the imbalance.
You'll probably have to cover your eyes for the GS quarters if you're patriotic. No livestream?

 

Why not Sindhu? Was he also from the subcontinent? Is the history there only 4000 years?

 

Wow, juicy match coming up between Nozomi and Sonia. I suspect limsy is going to end up crying, lol.

 

Rat v Christin: I think Rat should be forced to play left-handed. Anyway, a foregone conclusion.
Romina v Carolina: The #2 seed Spaniard should advance comfortably
Noz v Sonia: All arrows point to a Noz win
Elyzabeth v Yuki: The INA girl looks to be in good form but it feels like Yuki is here for one more roundYuki

 

seems Indonesia journey will ends up today...sighhht

Really hope i'm wrong

 

So you admit it, you're ancient

 

Yeah, it's going to be tough, but it's the same for everyone so don't worry too much

 

Good to see MAS are still involved in all 5 diciplines.

 

hmm
sonia need to show what she had.
it's all about utilize her potential
i cry because i gonna graduate soon,miss my dear classmate.

anyway,i am 100% sure that nazomi cant even get into top 25 by the time 4/11/2012

 

QF starts soon.. From Ina, i expect suci/tiara and ronald/selvanus through to semi. Vito and ocoy also have good chance to through. The rest will be tough.
