Talking about women's game, you just need to take a look at CXT, a veteran of Chinese women's team. She represents a typical so called women's game. Another term we often heard from Chinese is 'playing woman's game with flavor of men's style'. Here, the best example is SYS. But, I'll also...

I'll call him LJKing next time.

Just most felt China is in her most vulnerable state for a very long period, and they even lost twice in group stage, almost unheard of. Yet, in the final facing the strongest Japanese team in recent years, the result is still a resounding 3:0, as if life is just as usual. French team should...

The ending was tense and dramatic. LSD came through.

The comeback from Togame fell short of the first game.

The last two points were so undramatic.

Now, Sora is playing a little reckless losing points too fast.

WCQ is getting into beast mode

Sora is playing like there is no tomorrow. But if he lands those shots, quite scary. So far, he is landing most of his shots.

Congrats to China for the well-deserved victory. Also solute to a great Japanese team, they fought hard and forced China to earn the victory. Miwa and Honoka performed well. Japan just needs another world level player like Miwa. Oda has the chance to be that player as she is still young...

SYS is lovely and spoke well in the interview after the match.

WMY is just too good as the world number 2 to be counted to lose two matches in a row at the world stage. After losing unexpectedly to Miwa whom she never lost previously, WMY steadied herself quickly and still performed under tremendous pressure securing the final win. It shows her strength...
