Thank you for the info, sis suetyan. This cute couple really caught my attention in AE 2010. I vividly remembered that it was the final of All England, a shuttle was sent passed ZYL but ZN was not moving. Realizing this, ZYL shouted ''ZHANG NAN...ANNNN!!!!!!!''. The scream was so loud that I could hear it very clearly among the audience. ZN, as if woke up from his slumber, dive to save the shuttle(as if his life was at stake) and rolled on floor. The scene is kinda funnyD) but in a way it indirectly tells me that which of these 2 is the more ''dominant'' one in the their relationship. I hope I did not guess wrong, anyway the most important thing is both of them are happy. Congrates to the young couple again.
!!! This is exciting news! Suetyan, do you know any of the background story behind this? When did it start? This makes me really happy because they're my favorite XD pair... also isn't she 4 years older than him?
Our girl won two gold and one silver at the Asian Games. Congratulations! It was too bad that Cheng Shu was sent home before the individual events. Hope CS can take it in stride and really improve her defensive game. No matter how powerful CS is, no one can smash her way through in WD.
Cheng Shu said in her blog that she had played her last game with ZYL, in the finals of Grand Prix Finals. In the upcoming Malaysia Open, CS will play with Ma Jin and ZYL will resume her Asian Games winning partnership with Tian Qing.
RedShuttle, do you know what's the model of the pink li-ning racquet ZYL played with in the SS finals?
No idea. The old N30 is pink but in a different pattern. It is pretty stupid of Li-Ning not to list the player's rackets on their website, like Yonex.
I'm agree with you. It's possible that it will be a N30II like other models have a second one. it seems that SHU CHENG uses the same racket.... From what i saw, Zhao Yunlei uses a UC2300 model during the china open (http://www.li-ning-badminton.co.uk/index.php?category=1&page=detail&pid=11 )
No i made a mistake it's not a N30 II http://www.badmintonshoponline.us/unlimitshop/product_info.php?products_id=1020&osCsid=d230cb366482a2760edba8dfe5290786.
According to a magazine article, ZYL was using N50 in the middle of last year and was looking forward to N50-II. So, it might be a N50-II with a special paint job.
Passenger changes on the ZYL Express: Off: Cheng Shu, Xu Chen; On: Tian Qing, Zhang Nan. Tian Qing seems a keeper as they beat the super combo of YY/WXL twice. Zhang Nan is a bit weak on the attack.
Zhao Yunlei has won almost every major title badminton has to offer. She along with Yuyang and WXL top the table with the most number Premier titles in badminton and lost count on the number SS and GP she won jointly with Cheng Shu, Tian Qing and Zhang Nan. She needs an Olympic Gold Medal to complete her journey started as badminton player despite raised by parents who relished a different racquet sport. Good Luck ZZ
