    i see nothing separate these 2 despite a completely contrasting playing style.

    it will boil down to stamina, and nerves.

    The unexpected happening in G1 again. This Olympics is wreaking havoc to many of the fancied players. Better to be the underdog.

    of all players in the lower half of WS draw, TZY, RI, WYH, NO and AY, we might be seeing PVS in the final. what a surprise.

    NO is playing a patient game, unlike WYH. But somehow she's making more errors than I expect from her, an intelligent and composed player.

    That shot seems to be going out but Nozomi takes it wrongly.

    I cannot understand that Chai Hong lost to ENG pair, unbelievably poor from them.

    Please win Noz, you are most likely to defeat Marin.

    PV slowed down. NO need to take advantage and keep running her dry.
