PROFILE:
Yao Jie has now been in the top 10 for more than a year straight.
This is a testimony to her consistency. Her size allows her to dictate
play when she is in form. Like her compatriots, she has won or been
runner-up in 13 events over her career including 2 victories at the Thai Open.
Along with fellow Asian players in Europe such as Xu Huaiwen, Pi Hongyan and
Mia Audina Tjiptawan, she carries the mantle of the elite in Europe.
At the MVP Cup in 2005, she lost her only match on the deciding
day to Zhang Ning. However, this year Yao will be looking to have
a better performance for Europe! Pressure will be on her this year
as she opens the event against Zhang Ning—whom she has never beaten.
Let’s see if she can do it at the MVP Cup this year!
