Not sure about match fixing, but the grand prix final, there is a limit of 2 per country right? With li/liu qualified, there are liu/Zhang and han/Zhou. He/tan is pretty far down to get them qualified imo
Yeah I think so too He should be focusing just on MD, but with his partner struggling all the time... nothing is working for him at the moment.
Chinese player injured left and right? JiaYF also have the same wrist injury like LiJunhui. Its very tough to recover once you have wrist injury. Retirement leave such a bad taste. Why dont they withdraw like TTY, its better off that way. Dont feel its tour quotas problem.
Liu/Zhang will not participate in this World Tour Final. Their point is too low. As of now, Han/Zhou is on the safe zone and most likely qualified to WTF.
INA WS can't develop further, Ruselli Hartawan is coming from same generation with He Bingjiao. She lost to Chinese second stringer here, Chen Xiaoxin, let alone 25 years old Dinar Dyah Ayustine. The standard of training also expectation seems pretty low, nothing significant progress. Only Gregoria Mariska has better technical skill but too bad she's injury proned.
The main problem is the athlete who's practically enjoying comfort zone, have no ambition to challenge themselves.
Well, NO is also prone to injury and she still in the top ten. VA too. As long as Gregoria keeps fighting no matter whatever the problem she has, she will eventually reach the top ten. Hmmm, seems Minarti is doing fine with grooming Gregoria. Gregoria has improved this year. It needs both the players and coaches to get satisfying result. This also applies to every countries, not just INA.
By the way, are Chen/Jia really injured? Any news for that? Anyway, based on the calculation for Race to Guangzhou, Chen/Jia just need to play in this tournament to be qualified.
