I just feel like she is much more stable on her backhand chops closer to the table. Many times, Giula proved that she wouldn't fall to spinny chops and just whacks em. Chen continues to chop really spinny.. and really high forhand chops to Giula, so she keeps losing points. Maybe she could parry and add more topspin so the ball kicks? In hong kong, we talk about variety, in both chopping style and serves, to trouble the opponent when they choose their counter-strategies, this is and area opf improvemnt for chen.
