    Rubber game again, in last SF match!
    Wow, this evening session of 5 games will last last for more than 6 more, incredible!
    Rubber game now for the last XD between LN/TA and ZN/ZYL. And Sunday Final starts at 1pm, which is about 13 hours away. Are they going to mandate a minimum of 12 hours rest for the players (including travel & shower time) :)

    Not at all, I'm not blaming her or any of the CHN Olympic gold medallists. I just feel that they have generally eased off, slackened too much, virtually resting on their laurels the past one year. Maybe it's time,, CHN inject more new blood who are hungry for success, As LYB said they are in a transition stage,it will come as a matter of time.

    That should be a fault, racquet across the net.

    Let's implement the linecall challenge system as soon as possible, BWF.

    Remember those days of the old scoring system. Matches seemed to last the same time and the games are faster now

    only after hitting the shuttle - then it's not a fault. Glad I am not an umpire

    That was out, but it was a very close call and you cant expect the umpire to overule.

    coming to a court near you...
    Oooo, racket looked over the net by Butet. Token complaint by CHN but to no avail.

    More shenanigans by the CHN team on the call on the baseline. And it looked OUT. Oooo, unlucky break

    Dammit, I'm a huge fan of Zhang Nan, hated that he did that, should have been a point penalty.

    edit: for changing the shirt
