Mima Ito and Sun Yingsha: Pure friendship

[@musicalala]

Yingsha has a fun personality. Cool to see her being relaxed and having fun.

Guys we are not living in the middle ages. Competitors can be good friends outside of the game. There are numerous examples in all the games. Also mimo ito and sun Yingsha are not enemies. The are only game rivals. Game rivals can be good friends and it is the thing emerging in sports now-a-days

The Competition between Sports and Wars are quite different. You might lose your life in a war and never come back. But you can always lose a sports game and try to figure out how to win the next one. Then you will realize one thing: competitors could be friends forever.

[@chunliangxia]

I think the author underestimated the next crop of chinese women players (Sun Yinsha, wang menyu, wang yidi just name a few). he also underestimated chinese team's "focal" training. Ito is a great player for sure, Her streagth lies in her serve (first attack) and her rubber. Once that is reserched and solved , her winning rate will go way down against Chinese top players. This is evidenced by her holding no serve advantage against Sun YinSha in the woman's semi-final. Another strength of Ito is her confidence and belief that she can beat chinese players, That can also be changed if her winning percentage against chinese top players go down. Of course, only time can tell whether that is true or not. But I will place my bet on chinese side. remember "平野“，she was also lauded by her playing style and her serve a few years ago, now, where is she?
