LOL, the winner is the odd one, being short with different uniform.

Congratulations to Akane's resounding victories in back-to-back tournaments, clinching the Super 1000 INA Open and the Super 750 Japan Open in 2019.
I believed, based on current form, Akane and Tai TY are the top two contenders for the Basel WC. I think Marin is likely to skip the world champs as she's hinted and even if she decides to play, she probably won't be in top form just coming back from injury layoff. That's not to say Marin at her best is better than TTY and AY in major events, I should consider the three of them the top contenders unless Chen Yufei too can rise to the occasion to be in the running.
And I hasten add, Akane now plays an all-rounded game, not that defensive as before nor mainly just a superb retriever to frustrate and annoy her opponents. Her attacking ability from the backline in spite of her short stature impresses me as much as her phenomenal running ability to throw everything back at her opponents.
Well, you know this is not the first time I commended Akane but, obviously, you are blind to it for personal reasons.Yeah yeah, bla bla bla bla. See, this was about as sincere as yours.
I think CM and TTY are the biggest obstacle for herThis lady just won my heart, take a bow, hats off!!
Hope she wins it all, WC, OC, AG, cause she is very much capable.
That’s my wish too. I just want to see her laugh like she really enjoys the victory (I know she must enjoys playing and winning every match, but still)This lady just won my heart, take a bow, hats off!!
Hope she wins it all, WC, OC, AG, cause she is very much capable.
I can't see a top 1 future of any of these two players. CM will have a hard time after injuring both of her knees, and TTY might retire sooner or later, but much earlier than her body would allow her to continue.I think CM and TTY are the biggest obstacle for her
Let's see
Your " ever s oaverage HBJ' lost by the narrowest of margins, 21-23 and 20-22; in fact, in G1, she was 21-20 up and in G2 20-19 up, before losing both deuces.After a very tight win over ever so average HBJ, this is an awesome win against a much better opponent.
