I think a 6th place is still very decent , so far the only European country who can win against Asian topplayers. Together with Marin off course. I guess will be an exciting match against Intanton
Can any one post the scores of Axelson vs HYX once in a while? I have difficulty opening live score. Thanks! Oops. Didn't realize the match is over. Sorry!
An afwul tournament for China so far: No one left in MS and MD In WS Suo Di one set behind Only one couple left in XD. Europeans are doing great, as are India and Japan.
last year china have 9 in quater final 6 in semi and 2 winner in final this year they have 7 in quater lost 3 of them already but they are still contender for xd and wd
last year there is only 2 quater finalist are not asian and none in semis this year there is 11 of them in quater final well done!
tai tzu ying is 16 born in 1994 cannot qualify for the yoc so,if yang li lian won the 9/16 play off she can qualify to the yoc
Actually it's the first time an European makes semis since 2007. Understandably since the last two WJCs were held in Asia. Europeans tend to perform better outside Asia. BS QF results were quite surprising..Huang, Liu, Riyanto and Pisit all lost.
is good to see competitive player from euro hehe not surprise to me the only surprise is zulfadli defeat to riyanto who is good enough to enter semi final i am happy that kang ji wook advance far in ms hehe hope nelson/teo can capitalize the advantage to made it all mas final in md next year wjc in tpe
Naoko beat Carolina 17-21 21-14 21-13 too bad for Carolina, but she is only 17 this year so she can still play next year's WJC. two Japanese girls in GS semis
Indians are doing very well here, Davey and avataar should be very happy. Pranoy and Sai Praneet in MS semis, and Praneet/Chopra now doing battle with Malaysians in MD.
Sigh....I woke up only to see all INA players/pairs losing their matches First off, the BD match. A draw against the DEN pair is surely a tough one for Dandi/Jones and my fear was confirmed when the DEN pair won in straight-sets They have been unconvincing in WJC and their performance was below my expectation and seeding For Riyanto Subagja, fair enough, he was only seeded 9/16 and he reached his goal of qualifying for the YOG. But, he could not take the good opportunity of progressing to the SF, facing an opponent he had beaten before. For the GD pair, expected really that they will lose.
yeah....quite dissapointment no Ina thru to SF... Riyanto may feel the fatigue got the best at him, so he became anticlimax.. as for Aulia/Nurbeta, they did their best to recover deficit in 3rd set, but not quite good enough... well, hope next yr will have better results..
BS Semifinal : Viktor Axelsen >< Sai Praneet B Kang Ji Wook >< Prannoy HS GS Semifinal : Ratchanok Inthanon >< Naoko Fukuman Misaki Matsutomo >< Suo Di Sigh! None INA players in semifinal...
