It will be very interesting to see how Zhang Changning performs, considering she wasn't active for a season or so (if I remember correctly).

Even better! Considering she took such a long break off, I hope she can improve on the fundamentals and get a style back.
I remember thinking in 2019 that her swings at the net were a little awkward, as in her form wasn't the best. What I mean is that when you spike, usually your spiking arm is at the centre line where your head would be if you were standing still, giving you more power + leverage. But she spikes more like a "stick smash" in badminton, where your body is not angled, just straight, and you smash down. I hope she also improves on her spiking approach and landing... I hold my breath at times when the rally is scrappy and she lands off-balance...

well she was off for almost 2 years, I’m not sure if she has fully recovered/in her previous fitness level, so that’s understandable. I hope this would be a good stepping stone for her to return back to the NT next year though!
Her elder brother, Zhang Chen, didn't participate in Chinese League 07/08 and 08/09. He returned Jiangsu VC in 2010 and returned Chinese men's NT in 2010 and even Zhang Jing-yin was his substitute in the first week of 2018 VNL.
