looking fwd. to saina vs marin match, hope saina do well today & she learn more from yesterday, i don't see anything wrong in her game some time things don't work even you work harder...go girl
Can I clarify something , if SAINA and SRIKANTH loses straight set today ... they wont be able to qualify right?
less hope, win make strong chances n if they loose they have to win tomorrow matches with big margin if other player also loose matches in their group.
It's definitely not a best performance by the defending champion Zhang/Zhao to defeat English pair Adcock/Adcock. The Chinese pair couldn't maintain hefty lead in second game but fortunately they still won narrowly, 21-18. Earlier match, Danish combo Pedersen/Juhl scored first victory in group B, def. Muskens/Piek, 21-15 / 21-16.
yes absolutely.......looking at their condition,its very very difficult to beat Noise pollution and VA.......
Supporting all the underdogs , to make the TIE more interesting.... hope those that lost yesterday will make a come back to keep themselves alive!
plz saina withdraw this tournament.......i dont want to see you by beating this noise pollution......:crying:
Come on Lee/Chau! They crushed ZYL/ZN yesterday, and just took the first set against Ahmad/Natsir today!
Ratchanok's play quite good so far, but WYH is a real fighter she wont give up that easy, i have a feeling this will goes to the 3rd set, by then it will be really hard to say who will be the winner of this match.
