2017 Yonex All England Open SSP - OFFICIAL THREAD

Chen Jin and Zhong Bo coaching courtside, no sign of Zhang Ning .

 

One game apiece, Chen Yufei - Busanan Ongbumrungpan

 

At least Huang Yuxiang in his match with Ajay Jayaram handles the crucial points in G1 at 19-all better than Qiao Bin who shouldn't have lost G3 to Prannoy.

 

Chen Yufei's net play not up to par.

 

and Chen Yufei just made a net spin to disapprove it.

 

LCW warming up, knee is severely taped up. Hope he'll make it through the tournament without aggravating into something much worse.

 

After threatening to run away with G3, CYF is losing some steam now, 13-9

 

Chen Yufei stepping on it and pulling away again, 18-10

 

13-11, Brice leading

 

Looks like LCW is starting to speed up his pace compared with the start of the game. No sign that his injury is a problem so far.

 

So many unforced errors by KS

 

KS is not in usual form.

 

Oh my this boy can really play. KS vs ZJP

 

Key is taking the first game. After losing the first game, indian players are losing confidence.

 

KS is playing like an erratic teenager, who loves to attack but doesn't know how to. Giving east points

 

That was really close, KS took g2 somehow. He better play steady in the decider

 

KS can be brilliant sometimes, just have to be more stable, sorta like PV, once she cuts down errors, she is hard to beat. India would be a badminton powerhouse if they have better doubles.

 

Saina is in complete control of the match.

 

Nozomi Okuhara has lost her mojo, no longer the once feared player that she was.

 

I gotta say, ZJP has dome some immaculate defense, often throwing back the impossible
