French Open Badminton: 5 players to look forward to

#4 Tai Tzu Ying

Is there any shot that the amazing Tai Tzu Ying can't play? Is there any opponent that Tai Tzu Ying can't handle?

These are pressing questions nobody knows the answer to, for the Chinese Taipei World No. 1 women's singles star seems to have a solution for everything.

For nearly every opponent on the Tour, she has proved to be an insurmountable barrier. On the court, she never goes for the same kind of shots, thus keeping her rivals guessing. Her deception is so good that the player on the opposite side of the net gets outfoxed most of the time as she can't anticipate the trajectory the shuttle will follow.

Tai has shown all of her supreme qualities this season in the eight titles she has won. Having conquered Denmark last week, it is no surprise that she would be eager to successfully defended her Paris crown too.
