With the way things are going in Beijing I can't see Johanna showing up here. Definitely not if she wins her semi as there would be nothing to gain and she has a habit of wearing down when she plays too many consecutive days.

The gain in theory would be if she could get further Singapore Race points, though I would certainly share your fears about burn out and what justice she might then do in Singapore even if she got there.

Simplest thing, win the whole thing in Beijing, hence moving up to race #6 and I think virtually guaranteeing a top 8 place, and then withdraw from here
