    You are absolutely right.He is a fighter and he will win.Bao will be under pressure to win.Roslin will go into the match as an underdog.

    It looks to me as if both have been waiting so long for a title. What is the last thing that Roslin won?

    At 11-9 for Korea in the women's doubles, Lee Hyo-jung started holding her left lower back and seemed to be in a lot of pain. They tried spraying a kind of aerosol linement on it but she said she couldn't continue. About an hour later, we got word that she had to bow out of the mixed doubles as well, denying the crowd a reply of the 2005 Korea Open final.

    The style WMC employs doesn't set up well for a long run in tournaments. She seems to squeak by in every match and many are energy draining 3-gamers. By the time she gets to the latter rounds, she's running low on gas. Not surprisingly in this KO, she went down tamely in the SF, not to say she would have won. I think with some reserves in the tank, she should be able to give a better account for herseelf. By all accounts though, she's done very well after a long international layoff.

    If you have chance to see how WMC play then you know why her play is such energy demanding. WMC doesn't have any tricks and deceptive moves so she rely a lot of hard running and hitting to keep herself in the games so every match for her is a long fight battle. Having Zhou Mi as sparring partner will help in sharpen her anticipation hence conserve some energy(hopefully). I am not sure you can teach deceptive moves to WMC as she is not that type of player. Li Mau must be scratching his hair(not much left anyway) trying to figure out how to push MC to next level. One thing I think Miew Choo can try is to mix her game with low drives like double ...

    Yes, I have seen her play and I agree, she's a very one dimensional player. She's essentially a rabbit on the court. If you've seen those new American Express ads on TV with Andy Roddick playing tennis against PONG, well, WMC is like PONG. She just returns everything without doing anything special. Hopefully with more guidance from Li Mao and Zhou Mi, she can position herself better on the court and optimize her anticipation thus conserving energy. One thing we can't argue, she's got heart.
