Hi all!
- Not only in Sydney, also in both Eindhoven and Kuala Lumpur J-O surprised many people by being one of the best 4 players. That is his mentality: he is always best when it really counts. Only then he can concentrate 100%. Plus, as Rigornd and Black Jack wrote: he is now more and more concentrating on these big events.
- The second reason for his bad record all year 2001 so far actually is his body => his age. In January he had problems with an old knee injury, 2 weeks later with his back, and and another 2 weeks later with his arm! So we Waldner-fans can only hope that his body will not let him down in 2 months time! His mental and technical abilities are still good for gold!
@zachary: - "Waldner has a very good record against Liu Guoliang! He seems to have no problems with Liu's style of play."
How do you come think that? Actually, the opposite is true: until the Worlds in Kuala Lumpur, one year ago, he had never beaten Liu.
- What a pity! Nobody saw any weeknesses in that final. So we can't help J-O improve ;-)
CU!
