Welcome to Guangzhou, China! Right after New York, closely before Beijing. Guangzhou is a good way to come back after a great fortnight in New York, but also a great preparation to the mandatory event in Bejing. Nationals Jie Zheng has been crowned as the winner last year. Arantxa Rus went all the way from qualifying to the final. Can anyone else make a Cinderella run this year?
