    Hat off to these Netherlands ladies....they put a fight so that the final so far is not a lop-sidded one as the winner is already a forgeone conclusion a long time ago

    i doubt it. Jiang is the Chinese national champion. i don't think Ms. van Cutsen will be able to get a set from her let alone the match.

    JiangYJ has the most beautiful wristwork.

    she already zoomed to a 10-2 lead now.

    Jiang is a fabulous player to watch. Goes to prove you don't have to be tall to be in the China women's team
    Jiang 14-5 Rachel

    beautiful but lethal wrist work.

    11-5 lead now.

    Li Yongbo routinely just nodded his head during the break. "yeah. just like that."

    I hope she won't pull a Zhang Ning... be up 12 - 2 and only win by 3... but then again, against Mia it's a whole new world of badminton.

    the fact that Jiang is featured in the 3rd singles probably means that she has the most potential among the youngsters. which i think is a good thing as she departs from the tall+slim+attack+speed style (eg. Xie, Zhang).
