2016 YONEX ALL ENGLAND Open SSP - SEMI FINALS (12th March)

Suddenly all Chn wd have no answer against Misaki/Ayaka again.
Lets see TYT/YY can stop them provided they beat Den wd today

 

Did you see Nozomi changing her T-shirt in full view of the public. Quite a magic act!

 

What a poor SF so far, both players seem to struggle to find their footing, very few winners on both side

 

Plus 5 AE, if that matters. To me , Lin Dan's record is unassailable, nobody else even comes close,simply incomparable. Period.

 

Agreed poor performance from both sides.

 

Of course, how the hell did she do that.

 

Right?
It's kinda bittersweet to see the usual Semifinal SS or SSF for XD lineup from:
Zhang/Zhao , Xu/Ma, Ahmad/Natsir, Fischer/Pedersen shifting towards Zhang/Zhao, Ko/Kim, Fischer/Pedersen and Praveen/Debby with Adcocks to complete the set as Big 5.

 

8-4 to Nozomi now. It is so obvious by now who will win.

 

Well the AE during Rudy's time was the unofficial world title and had they included badminton in the Olympics then, Rudy would have won probably two golds at least.

To be fair, such a comparison is not consistent because we are not comparing apple with apple.

 

Oh wow Carolina playing much better now catching up 7-9.

 

11-9 who would have thought of that such close scores.

 

Agreed seems like both are totally not in the mood to play today. Too bad.

 

The Luo sisters have been completely whitewashed!

 

Okay congratulations to Misaki Matsutomo and Ayaka Takahashi for winning the game today. Extremely sad that both the Luo Sisters didn't play well today.

 

Gosh! Can you believe.. Nozomi with that below average height, she can cover the court really well.

 

Lucky the boss is here

 

CM, where is your fighting spirit?
