Her opponent will be Chan Tsz Ka (HKG), seeded No.2 in the Qualification Draw. http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=94C74A61-90D9-4DDA-AA73-934C55FD6196&draw=3 .
2011 Indonesia GP Gold: Minatsu defeated Aprilia Yuswandari in Round 1 . And you should feel really bad PAWing against Minatsu in Round 1. After defeating Aprilia Yuswandari, Minatsu will be facing Fransiska Ratnasari [8] in Round 2. This should be another good match to follow. .
24 out of 24 BC PAWers picked Minatsu to win in Round 1 (@ 2011 HKG SS) . Unfortunately, Minatsu was narrowly defeated by Fransiska Ratnasari [8] in Round 2 at the 2011 Indonesia GP Gold; http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=095BDFEC-117C-4CE9-82AA-4D8F6333F5F2&draw=3 Today, at the Hong Kong Open SS Round 1, Minatsu will try again. Her opponent is Nicole Grether of Canada; http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=6ADDD331-4C98-4B84-A2ED-3F0B93881018&draw=4 As I post, 24 out of 24 BC PAWers picked Minatsu to win.

Hong Kong Open SS Round 2 http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=6ADDD331-4C98-4B84-A2ED-3F0B93881018&draw=4 . All PAWers are happy; Minatsu Mitani defeated Nicole Grether 21-10, 21-09 in 27 minutes. Minatsu's next match (Round 2) would be a tough one... Against Wang Yihan, the No.1 seed. But we'll never know, for Wang Yihan could underestimate her. .
. 2011 Hong Kong Open: Wang Yihan, the No.1 seed, defeated Minatsu Mitani in Round 2 21-18, 20-22, 21-16 in 1 hour. At the 2011 Macau Open, to be played in about 9 hours' time, Minatsu will be facing current World No.2, Wang Shixian, in Round 1. I think this match would be another long, long match. http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/sport/draw.aspx?id=79DD09AD-9356-4F40-BEC8-AC951A265EF1&draw=4 .
