I just checked the scores and then it seems that there will be absolutely no way for Srikanth to play in the semi finals at all. Srikanth will play versus Chou Tien Chen tomorrow. Okay Chou Tien Chen may have lost yesterday and in the last few tournaments that he has participated he has managed to enter the finals. Then on top of that Srikanth poor performance in tournaments cannot be underestimated. I guess Chou Tien Chen can win over Srikanth easily tomorrow leaving Srikanth bottom in the list. My prediction goes like this. Victor Axelsen will surely top the group match. Then followed by either Kento Momota or Chou Tien Chen. Much as how I want to see my idol winning in this tournament it won't happen and I have to accept it. My friends already told me even before the tournament has started that Srikanth won't be able to win any of the matches. He is just going there to fill up the slot. All my friends lamented good player like Lee Chong Wei cannot play at all but then Srikanth can play. Well I am not here to judge anything or talk bad about Srikanth. As Srikanth idol I wanted him to win but it is impossible for now.
Agree with you. Regardless of Chou Tien Chen or Kento momota winning the match, Srikanth will still be out.
I hope he manages at least a game against CTC. Otherwise it will be humiliating for him. As always India's only remaining hope - Saina. But even her chances are slim. She must beat Tai and hope that Nozomi beats CM.
Is there still some good quality stream?! livestream.vn has poor quality, very confusing as it was good for most tournaments... And bet365 has just this small window. I know there are ways to size it up, but too annyoing..
As for the MD match group A, Lee Yong Dae and his partner is sure to top the group match. Hiroyuki Endo/ Kenichi Hayakawa is sure to lose the match tomorrow. Then tough fight between Mohd Ahsan / Hendra Setiawan and Zhang Nan/ Fu Haifeng will be determined tomorrow. I guess the Indonesian MD have a slight edge to win the match tomorrow to play in the semi finals.
I am a lil confused.. SN though has won only 2 games and lost 3 stands ahead of CM who has not only better games W/L stats(3-2) but also better no. Of points stats.. Is it a mistake or there is some other criteria.. Also CL is placed ahead of JOJ in group rankings inspire of the latter winning more points by far.. What are the chances for SN to qualify? If she def TTY in 2 and NO def CM in 3 will she qualify?
I agree completely.. Not only Sandra looked optimistic in their 1st match but also ZN isn't even at his near best.. But does that really matters more or less Lee/Too are certain to win the tourney only the not so well natured Boe/Mo has a slim chance
Don't get confused. Nozomi Okuhara is sure to qualify. Tai Tzu Ying is out for sure. I think Carolina Marin will win the match tomorrow. So for this group match I predict that Carolina Marin and Nozomi Okuhara will qualify.
Brother [MENTION=121556]blabl[/MENTION] I have already started praying for Sri's form to return. Let's hope 2015 is never repeated and 2016 is better than 2014.
I don't think NO advances for sure. There are so many possibilities. Assume SN beat TTY 2-0 tomorrow: If CM loses to NO tomorrow, then CM is out. If CM beat NO 2-0, then CM advances, both NO (4-2) and SN (5-3) are +2 games. Not sure who will advance in this case. If CM beat NO 2-1 tomorrow, NO advances (+3), both CM and SN are 5-3, then they need to count the total points.
