i think Japan is reserving their best player for death-or-alive game against England or play-off match
All young players to perform.. ..looks like JPN is fielding their younger players in this match, perhaps in their subsequent/future matches as well??..
Sitting here watching Maria Kristin Yulianti is agonizing knowing that KKK is going to rubber set against LYD.
I was expecting them to field the in-form pair of Kenta Kazuno/Kenichi Hayakawa, already WR16 right now. They should play against ENG and the important play-off match. As for INA, they will want to save Nitya Krishinda/Greysia Polii for the must-win WD match against ENG tomorrow. The rest are all expected line-ups.
..wow, Sayako is putting up a fight against Maria, even doing it with a bit of Susy's style of serve..Park JB doing double duty coaching Sayako.. How come those Indonesian supporters know where the cameras are?? or which cameras are shooting where??..
Poor KKK! Played so hard for the mixed doubles....By the time he plays men doubles....He'll be totally worn out.....Sincerely hope that he will pull it off somehow....:crying::crying:
i believe maria is just strolling along she isn't in threat, just look at how she walk and stroke selection
Well, the Japanese girl takes the first set 21-18, despite trailing 14-18 just now If Maria loses this one, I believe Adriyanti Firdasari will be fielded tomorrow.
..JPN supporters giving Sayako some last minute push...What a comeback by Sayako, winning 7 straight pts to close the 1st game..Maria, many errors toward the end.. ..Maria wants a challenge??..well, she's getting it now..
What a waste....KKK/WPT will be a spent force in their WD and MD matches later.....no hope for MAS team.......
