    These two never fails to give us epic battles, kudos to pusarla and nozomi.

    If so, a home ground advantage will be a boon rather than a bane for her.

    I will not forget that moment when

    she was asked: 'What do want to say to your fans here?' ------ in English
    translator to Japan: .................. bla bla bla....................
    Nozomi: 'I am very tired'

    She replied with also a bit of confusion

    :p:p

    How sad that Saina and sindhu has to be at the receiving end in those two or say one of the most important matches of their respective careers. Now the competition is at another level. It's difficult for one specific player to shine at every major event.

    Japanese players generally do perform better at home.

    Oh then I must've missed it. My bad. Maybe when it comes to that LD match he will have more juice to say.

    Lolol!!

    When I read your post, this thought flashed across my mind - "A gong fu novel scene where the sifu, sitting behind, passed his internal energy to his disciple and his disciple's gong fu levelled up by leaps and bounds"

    Ps: my bad this digressing from the topic but can't help but sharing this thought.

    Starhub is broadcasting the matches live on it's Hub sport channel.

    Don't think the official YouTube live streaming is available in SG; probably due to broadcasting rights thingy

    If, in the near future, BWF do not allow coaches to sit courtside, this will change badminton quite a bit, probably more so than the new 115cm rule.

    I would have preferred to see that change rather than this stupid service rule, it's so unfair to tall players, specially those playing doubles.

    I love the presence of the coaches at the courtside, giving extra dimension to look at in the matches

    I hope BWF will keep it like thata forever
