I watched it. After 6-6, Ivanov made many unforced errors and once the gap increased, he completely lost interest in playing , i felt like that. He was simply moving around just to finish the match..
such an easy revenge for LDK. but then again maybe Ivanov decided to concentrate on doubles, especially since he had a minor injury last month and had to pull out from Russia Cup 2013

Strategic move to avoid LCW beating CL this week as CL has the upper hand nowadays whenever facing LCW. At the same time, allow Wang Zhengming (scheduled to meet CL tomorrow) to progress far into the tourney...possibly until the Final again. Kill two birds with one stone.
Now, LXR must really be fatigue to lose G1 so badly to Gu Juan, 21-9! Surprised to note that GJ managed 4 smash winners. But at the start of G2, LXR is returning the compliments with 3 smash winners, leading now 7-3. LXR has awaken and she's turning on the pressure on GJ to lead by a massive 15-8, final score 21-11. Wonder how GJ will manage in G3? Has she learned anything from previous encounters?
