The Chinese male players are tough to beat but their female players are unbeatable. Both Wang Manyu and Chen Meng have the biggest forehand in TT. Other than the men.
Well fought Hina, as usual. I wish her service and return game were tighter when she plays elite Chinese opponents, but I can see this was closer than their only other match. Well played Wang.
Most women have good manners. Even the men players are good. I haven't seen a TT player with poor sportsmanship. Even the screamer is a polite and fair player other than being annoying.
No, I feel Wang's strength and mobility are not improved. She becomes only a defensive player. I do worry that she will loose since luck would not always on her side.
I wonder if the injuries she's had already, at a relatively young age, have permanently affected her game. I thought 2-3 years ago she was going to rival Ding's medal collection, and compete on equal terms with Sun Yingsha for years to come. Now I don't see it, and I see stamina issues when she plays long matches.
