What a weird decision MS certainly is the most prestigious of all five disciplines, that's why top-tier tournament organizer (OG, AG, WC) arranges MS final as last match to be played. *Match Highlights : - Anthony Ginting (INA) v Wong Wing Ki (HKG) - Shi Yuqi (CHN) v Srikanth Kidambi (IND) - Pusarla V.Sindhu (IND) v Carolina Marin (ESP) - Sun Yu (CHN) v Sung Ji Hyun (KOR) - Kamura/Sonoda (JPN) v Boe/Mogensen (DEN) - Chen QC/Jia YF (CHN) v Jung KE/Shin SC (KOR) - Jordan/Susanto (INA) v Puavaranukroh/Taerattanachai (THA) The quarterfinal round will be scheduled on 03.00pm => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...887ADA-B752-4925-B13C-6B680FE9FAEB&d=20170414 Singapore Open looks unfriendly for MS seeded player as one more faltered yesterday, Son Wan Ho was stunned by fully determined youngster Jonatan Christie in two straight-sets. Anthony Ginting follows his compatriot path to book last eight ticket as well, defeated Brice Leverdez. These Indonesian hopefuls will take on the unseeded opponent who also manages good run here, Lee Dong Keun and Vincent Wong Wing Ki respectively. A thrilling second round tie last night witnessed former world number three Srikanth Kidambi saved three match points to turn the tables and defeated Ihsan Maulana Mustofa, 22-20 in gruelling 81 minutes match, the Indian will up against Chinese prospect Shi Yuqi for a place in semifinal. 8th seed Tanongsak also progressed into quarterfinal, he made surprising comeback against HKG veteran Hu Yun yesterday and set up a meeting with Sai Praneeth this evening. A mouth watering clash will see Rio OG WS final rematch, Pusarla V. Sindhu against Carolina Marin. Sindhu had tough match to pass preliminary rounds how she eliminated Nozomi Okuhara and Indonesia promising talent Fitriani in rubber games while Marin only stretched into three games at opening round and had easy ride to dispose Lee Chia Hsia yesterday. Both Sayaka Sato and Zhang Beiwen derailed top 8 WS quarterfinal face-off, Sato will challenge strong contender Tai Tzu Ying. Former Singaporean player Zhang beat the off-form He Bingjiao and has another teenager to overcome, Akane Yamaguchi. The Japanese starlet had hard times to down Hsu Ya Ching who played three categories in this tournament. Sung Ji Hyun-Sun Yu clash once again after last week MAS Premier meeting at same stage. So far so good for Indonesian new stars, Gideon/Sukamuljo how they cleared two previous round hurldes, next challenge will be TPE pair Lee JH/Lee Y. Two more INA pairs also advance into quarterfinal stage, former champion Pratama/Suwardi who will up against Li JH/Liu YC and latest combination Angriawan/Hardianto have stern test, the frontrunner Goh VS/Tan WK. One remaining tie on TV court, the energetic Japanese duo Kamura/Sonoda against Danish vast experienced pair Boe/Mogensen. WD last eight scenario is almost going to the script, close contest at the stake, Chen QC/Jia YF v Jung KE/Shin SC also Fukuman/Yonao v Juhl/Pedersen. Two Thai pairs are doing good job here, the underdog Chaladchalam/Muenwong also Supajirakul/Taerattanachai will get heavyweight opponents today, the Olympic Champion Misaki/Matsutomo and All England champion Chang YN/Lee SH. Lu K/Huang YQ almost ended their journey here yesterday, a disappointment ending for home pair Terry Hee/Tan WH when they wasted golden opportunity to lead 14-8 then 19-15 but failed to convert as the Chinese ace survived, 22-20. Current All England champion should be the favouite to prevail into semifinal and meet one of unseeded rivals tomorrow, either Wang CL/Lee CH or Kim GJ/Shin SC. More interesting showdown at bottom half draw, Fischer/Pedersen will be tested by Malaysian Tan KM/Lai PJ and Jordan/Susanto who took revenge over Choi/Chae yesterday will face recent SUI GP Gold winner Puavaranukroh/Taerattanachai.
Tickets are selling slow? Guess that's because it's a long weekend in Singapore, people going out. It's not a long weekend in Malaysia, so not that many people coming in. Anyway tickets are expensive, 40 dollars for QF, 50 for SF and 60 for finals. For normal seats. VIP cost 3 times the price. I probably get a 50 dollars tickets if Malaysian XD get into SF
whoa! compare it to up coming denmark open (21/oct/2017), semi-final, 2nd row behind center court, not considered a vip seat, $25!
Was KS wearing that? Hmm I thought atleast he got some fashion sense also I've noticed Jojo just like PVS is a monochrome fan
Yep, as expected Goh/Tan will lose easily in the firsts set. This is the kind of performance I expect from such a inconsistent pair.
Try having NO side events other than some lame "getting shuttle through a hole" stunt and when players like Hendra and Ahsan appearing at the signature table for LESS THAN 5 mins then they leave in a hurry..... is this even a SS event? Last year, they even displayed Ratchanok's flag wrong, with Egypt. Also, try having N80-II and N99 on "sale" at $300SGD. Lin Dan Asian Games yellow top at $100 SGD, and clearing of crap clothes and designs and leftovers at 1 for $20, 2 for $30... This isn't a warehouse sales for Li Ning dammit! Shoes? All RRP. Oh and, if you try to enter with a full water bottle, you WILL be asked to empty it. They WANT you to buy bottled 500ml plain/ flavored soda water at $3-6 SGD each. Instead of checking for explosives and threats, they go all out to enforce the no water rule. Burger? $8. Hotdog? $6. Sh*tgapore Open more like it. I went for 3 times in a row, 2014-2016, and my usual bunch of friends for 2017, NONE are going. Boring as hell unlike Japan Open which is like a mini festival in itself.
