Open Question: Singapore women single table tennis needs to change style of playing!?

Just watched this evening youth olympics table tennis women single final and was so disappointed. Below are what I observed and wish to point out:
1) Singapore young woman table tennis player was LUCKY enough to get into the final because her opponents were weak throughout the preliminary rounds up to the semi-finals.
2) Singapore young woman player will SURE be defeated if she was to meet North Korean Kim in either of the rounds at the first place. Isabelle will not have any chance to go into the FINAL.
3) Singapore woman player cannot use the same old method which Li Jia Wei and the rest were using all along (which is the soft approach). There is no way Singapore woman to reach the next Olympics games with this same old ‘SOFT’ method to approach the China or North Korean opponents. Mark my words!
4) Have to learn and watch how the North Koreans table tennis in their strong attacking and counter approaches.
5) China Gu was exhausted after the long 7 matches with the North Korean Kim in the quarter finals and this actually serve as a good chance to attack her in tonight’s final match if Isabelle is to use North Korean Kim’s method of strong attacking against her to wear her out.
6) China real opponent is North Korea in women table tennis.
7) The reason why tonight China Gu defeated Singapore Isabelle so quickly is because her arm was exhausted after the match against North Korea Kim and in order to stop her pain, she quickly finishes off the Final game fast in order to rest.

Conclusion: Singapore women table tennis (either the youth or national level) need to change style and there are too many room of improvement to be made by not using the same old method.
