What a way to finish it! Deception and racket control at the forecourt. WSX can't reach it. Schenk wins!
Impressive....despite already losing the tie 3-0, Juliane Schenk beat the home favorite Wang Shixian to make sure that CHN will not win the first match 5-0
Schenk is a robot. She must be one of the fittest WS players on the circuit. Looked so comfortable and in control. Her deft and delicate touches was clearly her main weapon today
Big smash from Greysia 1-0 Smash from meiliana 2-0 GreyMel easily return all the RUS pair smash.. 6-0
MAS will also risk losing with a different WD line-up since they only have Goh Liu Ying (who will definitely play in XD) and Vivian Ho Kah Mun.
MAS v INA will come down to XD. I think if INA fields Tanto/Greys, they will beat the young MAS pair. If I was INA I would not risk Fran/Pia. Mentally they must be shot.
