PROFILE:

China's top singles player since Ye Zhaoying, Zhang has represented her country since 1994. The biggest natural rivalry between the Asian and European teams probably lies between Zhang and Mia Audina of the Netherlands. These two first met in 1994 in the deciding match of the Uber Cup Finals with Mia winning. Since then, the two have traded wins and losses-usually in the Semi-finals or finals of tournaments where they've met. Let's see if they are matched up against each other in the MVP Cup!! Zhang has won 5 events in the past 18 months and has made the semi finals in 10 of the last 11 tournaments entered. This shows her as a model of consistency and one of the most difficult ladies to play against on the IBF circuit! Zhang would like to add the MVP Cup to her list of titles that includes Uber Cup, Sudirman Cup and World Champion.
