If i remember it correctly, i think i read in LD's thread few months ago that people congratulate Mr. & Mrs. Lin for XXF's pregnancy, no?
from that photo she doesn't look like a few months down the line, does it?
I don't think people can notice if it's just a few months.
First encounter between Sun Yu and Ratchanok Intanon:

In terms of international competitive experience, Sun Yu is much younger than her younger opponents. Sun Yu's game is still incomplete at this point. She has another crack at AO next week and then there will be a long break for her to work on her game.
Given her giant frame, she has to build up her over strength gradually to avoid early injuries and premature burnout. There is no hurry now. She is not going to Rio. She should set her sight on the post-Rio period when a group of top players will retire or ease out. She must seize that opportunity to be among the top players then.Maybe this isn't all that bad for Sun Yu. Hopefully, she is just laying low (just like LXR before 2012) until the time comes.

Don't look at her as being short, she is really fast. Many shots seemed winners but she managed to return them. At her loss to HBJ at the YOG, I was there. I felt that she was nervous. If it was not China's home court, it might be hard to say. Even when LXR played against her, LXR was behind early before catching up to win.
It takes patience to play against AK. It takes long rallies. She just wants to rally with you. Every point takes to 30 to 40 shots. The problem is that she is very steady. There are not many mistakes in those 30, 40 shots. If you rally with her, one lapse in patience will lead to mistakes and losing points easily.
