    Marin will be making her first appearance in Dubai after missing qualification last year.

    “Dubai will be a tough tournament, but of course I’m happy I could qualify, so looking forward to playing there,” Marin said. “Every opponent is tough, but the toughest opponent is going to be myself. So if I control myself, I know I can win all the games. Last year I didn’t qualify, so it was good motivation for me to qualify this year.”

    Just watched her match against RI. Great come back in the 2nd set, but I think RI was getting frustrated that some of her attacks couldn't get past Carolina Martin's defense and long reach.

    Also, watch this clip: https://youtu.be/MSFs6fUIvwI?t=57m19s

    Remind you of a certain men's chinese singles player in his prime? How many women can pull off this physical of a shot with just a jump from the base position and a power smash down the line? Hey there Lin Dan!

    edit: Warning: loud screams =p

    Best moment in 2016 All England Women's SF - Okuhara vs Marin.
    The shorter player (20cm) brings the squawking raven to her knees. Kind of like David & Goliath.

    Now it's CM's turn to get frustrated that most of her attackes couldn't get past NO's defense. :)

    In her match Marin showed by moments that there are ways to make NO feel uncomfortable. She needs to analyse it and she will find a way.

    What surprise me is how poor are her drop shots from the back of the court. No disguise and very slow. She needs this shot to beat NO, as smash and clears are not enough.

    all i see is the big open mouth.

    perhaps the editor is trying to warn us about something...

    Below Marin

    I think an ad for headphones would have been more suitable.
