Congratulations, Mima-chan! Great job beating the world champion. From the scores it seemed to have been one nail-biter of a match. Would have loved to have watched this.

I had my money on Ding Ning. Ding Ning has been playing well. Ding Ning will be back.
Anyone else a fan of Ding Ning?

Don't be a dingaling. Ding Ning is Chinese! Doesn't Ning ring a bell? Ding would be shocked if she knew the Ning name was mistaken as Japanese. The Nings are a proud Chinese family and Ning will certainly be back in the winners circle before long.
