    Regarding the present, thankfully Osim has one for the couple.
    When the hubby is too tired to massage the wifey, then good old Osim comes to the rescue and vice versa.

    if WSX wanna win, she must win it in 2 straight games, otherwise, the title will be in WYH's bag.

    WYH is too fast. WSX need to drag her out to the corners.

    Should be Mr. Adcock first. He did all the running and smashing.

    WYH is always at her best against her compatriots but I'm rooting for WSX.

    Two of my favourite players from the CHN squad. No preference here. The other being Wang Lin.

    WYH plays against her teammates the way I've always said she should play! She's not as proactive against foreign players - obviously her coaches aren't as well-versed as I am. :p

    Yeah, you know her so well.:p:) Could you kindly tell her not to do that to WSX whom I feel deserves the title more?:p:):D

    WSX must still work on her smashes and use it more often, then she'll be an even harder opponent to deal with for anybody.

    The deep forehand corner is no longer WSX's weakness.

    WSX seems to play better and better as the match goes on. more shot variations, and court coverage is faster.

    It seems to me WSX is the faster mover, that's why her retrieving ability is so good. She can really run and run, covering all four corners of the court so well.

    IMHO, for any attacking player against WSX, your attacking shots have to be sudden and accurate or she is likely to return them with interest.
