Ding Ning back on business and aiming for ticket to Tokyo
Well, Ito lost and lost .. It's okay ... She's not a robot ... Maybe she was not in the mood today .....
Personally, in February I’m only interested in two things now ...
Can Hayata reach the semifinals in Hungary Open? (she nr.12 seeding..)
Which team will China declare for Qatar Open? (Deadline tomorrow) ...
She is not a robot, but very unstable in her mood. Just look when she is loosing, she starts playing more risky shots and beeing unpatient.
The other problem is she cannot vary the spin, smashes are good at start, because the ball is much faster but later on when the point continues and the opponent make a step back those smashes are easy to return just because of lack of spin.
Mima is very fast on her feet and mostly starts the point very well, she would be much more dangerous if she can play more spin in her FH shots.
Like I have told everyone repeatedly, the matches with Ding Ning and Ito have always been close and if you give Ding Ning time and she is healthy, she will figure out something in internal training. Doesn't mean Ito can't beat her but that it isn't the guarantee some people think it is. Ding Ning likes to be challenged to bring out her best.
Conspiracy theory: Mima Ito wants CNT to select DN
