Actually, all the Chinese MD could lose today. ALready 2/4 out. Liu/Zhang will be bombarded from all sides. QF vs Conrad/Kolding awaits even. Anyone can win it, due to tough draws for favourites.
FYIUUUUHHHH! I had mental, emotional, and heart gymnastics in this match. Boys that ain't cute! hopefully next rounds will be easier..they always struggle in earlier rounds and getting better in the latter stages. get it together Marcus!
It's only the first match for the seeds. Hard to tell how they would do. Even in singles yesterday the many seed players faltered in their first match. Most notable, Ratchanok's.
They have struggled by the still won IndonesiaOpen, its title that matters. Many pairs want to beat them, but so what? they cant win titles like He/Tan. That gives added pressure for every opponents that beat them.
Viktor is almost given some trouble by Huang. Fortunately he's mentally capable and leads in the interval, 11-10.
guys trust and believe minions will deliver now alfian/ardianto time against the dutch...they should be able to beat this pair..c'mon boys deliver!
Well I didn't know that Ahsan/Rian could make the final of last year's WC by first beating the first seed. So anything might happen for everybody. There's no easy draw for everyone. The last time that the 1st seed won the WC was Cai/Fu in 2011. The last time again? Cai/Fu in 2006. So I don't feel so confident for Minions. Let's hope that they can beat the next pairs in this tricky, uneasy draw.
Wait a second! What's going on with Viktor/Huang match? Is the score freezing? Dammit! My program suddenly changes and only shows the Kamura/Sonoda and Fajar/Rian matches.
Oh... they managed to move some cameras there. But it's very high and they look like Lego figures, lol
Indian players in general lack consistency except Saina Nehwal who played like a top 5 player for 7+ years. Players like Srikanth Kidambi, PV Sindhu, HS Prannoy, Sai Praneeth can play really poorly or extremely well on a given day. Which makes them dangerous and erratic.
