Looks like Ma Jin has been conscripted once again to help train another girl in WD, this time at the India Open SS. Someone called Wang Xiao Li....
Uh... indescribable? Good news! MJ made it through the qualifying rounds at the AE! She and her latest chickadee, TYT, will probably face INA girls Greysia/Nitya in round32.
TYT is a very good young player. I'm sure she'll be top 5 ranking very soon. But she doesn't mesh very well with Ma Jin. TYT was actually better with her old partner Ou Dongni.
Yes I've recently become quite the fan of Ou Dongni. She looks very tiny and thin. But I like watching her play from the back of the court. She's the only player I see consistently using the jump-smash and jump-drop and jump-clear. It's fun to watch and she has very good control and pacing. Ou will be a top 5 player soon as well.
once again Ma jin show her best skill, even with new partner she still can made it so far on AE2014. I wonder when she will get permanent partner? SO bad that high quality player like her treated like a nurse, just to develop another young player.
Hopefully she will be permant partners with wang xiaoli but maybe they're still shuffling partners. But I'm glad she was able to make it to the semi finals. Best of luck to her! but I have been watching her recent xd matches with xu chen and there seems to be a lack of communication and encouragement. Eversince their little "argument" in the Malaysia tournament, I wonder if they will continue to play together. I saw her recent xd and wd matches and she seemed to communicate with TYT more than XC. Does anybody else notice this?
In my opinion XC just like a stubborn guy, who have only one skill, smash..and worst of it (which i agree with u) XC seems doesnt has a good communication with MJ. I usually imagine he play in one commercial adv with big yellow font behind his head "I play it my way". *bad imagination
Big fan here. I hope her collaboration with Xu Chen can continue bearing good results in the XD discipline.
WXL should play with ZYL. BYX should play with TYT. and yes, Ma Jin should play with TQ. YY should retire...she's totally out of shape.
WXL/YY has lost their aura of invincibility. They were struggling throughout the SIN Open and finally succumbed at the semifinals. Evidently Yu Yang has never regained her fearsome form since her surgical operation about a year ago. That's the cruelty of professional sport, esp in CHN where there are so many up-and-comers waiting in the wings and snapping at your heels.
WXL and ZYL are both from Hubei. They won the All China Games in 2013 together. They have a very good chance of winning gold medal in Rio if they partner together.
