CHN is not certain of winning the two MD and cannot afford to lose any one of the three MS, and that must be weighing on Chen Long's mind.
Chen Long must learn to read his opponent's game better, be more proactive and give full play to his athleticism.
Sasaki played very good today vs Chen Long, much better than I expected esp. in the first two sets. At the 2nd set he even led 8-5 and for a moment I thought an upset was under making. Nonetheless it's a great match that lasted for 84 minutes!
Chen Qingchen is exceptional, she can partner anyone and still wins, and she don't blame or argue with her partner even if things don't turn out right.
OT: WWOQT: THA lead 2-1 vs JPN, and 20-19 in the 4th set too many great entertainments today at the same time LEVEL UP 2 - 2
