    That is so but still QF finishes on average can be fatiguing too, apart from injury fears. What I'm trying to emphasize is he is the only top 15 MS doing that, if I'm not wrong. Even if his body can take it, what about mental weariness ?

    So much so I feel like calling Chou Tien Chen a professional badminton addict.:p:D:)

    Doesn't he need to take a long enough break to recharge, refresh and regain the hunger for the sport ? The best part is he's 28 years of age already, yet I don't remember he was ever once injured in any tournament or during training. Amazing.

    By the way, I won't be far wrong to say, LCW is his younger days was like him.

    Yuta has a good advantage of having a senior player with him. Experiece counts.

    On that same note. I think ginting was thinking the same. With this qf reach, he will be in the top 10 safely for the next tourney and seeding

    agree with steen there, this malaysian pair actually having that kind of "extra" thing, but lack the foundation or basic things in their game...not good enough yet.

    Yes, there is something interesting with this pair but the basic shots is still nowhere near the standard.
    Hopefully, they will train with discipline.

    Frankly, in fairness to Saina, she should've converted the four matchpoints in G3 ; she didn't so much lost to Nozomi as to herself, she was too eager to win, even smashing one shot wide by a mile.

    But to Nozomi's credit, she was able to stay focused, didn't panick, and patiently and determinedly took it one point at a time, winning six straight points to victory as Saina self-destructed.

    As they say , a miss is as good as a mile, it certainly hurt so bad to have lost when you came so close to winning it.

    most losing points are getting dropped shots by JPN pairs...

    Wow!
    The organizers are very nice, putting both WDs (all-JPN) to Court 2.
    Saved me some time from suffering.

    I agree with you. He looks more confident when playing beside Endo than Higashino.

    Do you even realize how utterly pathetic your xenophobia is? Probably not, otherwise you wouldn't parade it around like it's something to be proud of.

    Well, LCW in his younger days also played a lot and won a lot but CTC is no LCW. I'm afraid, even if CTC is picky, he may not win many or more than he has done so far.

    She did it at Dubai Finals SS 2015. NO beat SN with just one digit score each games.
