    Yup, according to ts.com, they give walkover to Goh/Tan, so group B only consists of three pairs.

    In that case, it defeats the purpose of having players/pairs of the same nationality meet each other in the first round. Besides, nobody knows what might happen in the following rounds, and, what's more, there's a redraw of the semifinals matchups after the completion of the group stage.

    Strange that after CQC/ZSW won G1 'easily' by the score of 21-18, they 'contrived' to lose G2 13-21, inexplicable to me.

    The All-CHN XD affair takes 44 mins, the all-INA XD just now took 47 mins, also another three-setter...hmmm, what conclusion can we draw from it ? Your guess is as good as mine.

    Sir Chai killed the shuttle at the net like a singles player after setting up the trap.

    Furthermore, whoever loses the opening round to their compatriots risks failing to progress to the semifinals.

    instead of withdrawal at last minutes, they could have given the spot to another den pair

    That's what makes SSF system even more effect. There's no chance/way for a "favorable" result by "throwing" matches to compatriots

    it might be also these players are very familiar with each other games thus 3 games is easily achievable but the short duration dont make sense :)

    If you are too familiar with your opponent's game, it takes a lifetime to complete that particular match.

    Premature to draw such a conclusion when G1 is not even completed. Even one match is not sufficient.

    Besides, HBJ at 19 is still young, only in the first full year of her pro circuit, far from her peak.

    He BJ seems slow to warm up, haven't settled down, too many loose shots.
