If only LXR had played like that in Copenhagen, when things weren't going well for her, dug her heels in and gradually played herself back into the game instead of cracking up. Alas, in two successive WCs, she ended up as the bridesmaid when the groom had originally chosen her but she got cold feet each time, so to speak.
By the looks of it so far, THW is not going to beat SWh who has a rock solid defence and counterattack.
The way I see it, Fu/Zhang combination is better than Fu/Cai whose time I believe is over. The problem is Zhang Nan also has to concentrate on XD.
If only China had another front-court player like Zhang Nan. I'd like to see LXL tested with a few backcourt players, like Hong Wei. I believe LXL actually plays the provincial team with Liu Cheng.
Very entertaining match! I like this style of men's doubles. Alot of movement and beautiful reading of the game by Zhang Nan!
