Yea, I had a mistake in the pic...14# is Jiang Yue and 18# is Zhang Qiang

 

[Tommy Lee]

A little pity that those girls all are shakehand player, we need a girl penholder..

BTY, there are 2 choppers, Wu Yang and Fan Ying..

 

[Ajay]

Zhang Qiang is a penholder.

One bad news - Fan Ying suffered from an elbow injury and withdrew. She is out.

 

[Tommy Lee]

Results after 11 rounds..

*Fan Ying injured her elbow and she already abandoned this tournament after 5 rounds, and the results other players against with Fan Ying could be ignored.

Unfortunately, it looks like this trial became a "last (wo)man standing". Fan Ying had to give up, so did Guo Yue, Li Xiaoxia's injured, I think Wu Yang is too, and Liu Shiwen and Ding Ning look terrible in their last pictures... So the survivors can go to Paris ?

I didn't really understand how many players would be sent to the tournament. I read it would be the two best players in the trials, but you wrote here that another player could go if she wins the two next opens. Would she be a third player, or replace one of the others ?
