    Actually, Intanoin's decpetive strokes are not new, we've seen them before several times, but Chen Xiaoxin is not reading it and fell for it time and again. There is really no substitute for experience.

    If Intanon continue in the same vein tomorrow, Chen Yufei will also have a hard time against her, despite having beaten her twice before.

    Kevin/Marcus won. The Russians are no match for their playing style...

    Li Yinhui is still reeling from her earlier XD loss; there's already rumours about replacing her partnership with Zhang Nan.

    If badminton is an art, then the way Gideon Sukamuljo play must be the closest to one.

    Somehow i hope Inoue/Kaneko can beat Boe/Mogensen just to give the rest of the field a chance?

    Quite unbelievable that 2 unseeded pair will face each other in top half of the quarter consdering that there are 16 seeds.
    Cant see that happening in Men Single, Women Single or Women Double. In fact, not many or even one unseeded can proceed to QuarterFinal.

    Yeah, I got excited everytime I watch them play. It seems like time is ticking slower for them that they were able to really read the game a step ahead before their opponents...

    Yeah, apart from watching Srikanth Kidambi play, i think they are the most exciting players. The way they play are full of errors but they are not afraid to show it and realise the way kevin whenever he makes mistakes, he always return the shuttle immediately . I think 99% of players dont do it like him, thats why most of them have loser mentality (because the natural instinct is when one makes mistakes especially at net, it seems hard to accept it immediately especially in MD when its really fast)
