SIN: Feng Tianwei VS CHN: Zhang Yining



I was watching the Beijing Olympic Table Tennis Individual Woman between our Singapore's Feng Tianwei and China (World No 1) Zhang Yining....

Looking at how Feng Tianwei made Zhang Yining sweat it out in a nail biting match.. Feng Tianwei learned very fast from their earlier women group final match.. She was playing in a very clever manner by breaking up the pace of Zhang Yining and also to make her commit own mistakes.. I can see the World No 1 seed, Zhang Yining is getting very very nervous and getting loads of pressure from the banner waving and cheering fans...

The result, 13-11, 12-14, 14-12, 12-10 and 13-11. Zhang Yining still won the match but this time she did not get to trash Singapore's player like a tin can.. Feng Tianwei did not let her do that by giving her a hard fight...

I should says Feng Tianwei will be a much better player than Li Jiawei if given her more exposures and experience.. She is play smartly and maintain cool head... Unlike Li Jiawei who always over assert herself (maybe she got more expectation from Singapore, thus more pressurise).... I salute Feng Tianwei of her bravery and guts... She has won me over as a Fan...

Let see if Li Jiawei could get over with Zhang Yining the next round... Singapore mentality should be "If can't win them, then give them a hard fight"...
