    He Bingjiao will remember this match for a long time to come, the one that got away because of her carelessness, overconfidence, complacency , lack of stamina, whatever; it'd be a painful memory for her, a terrible lesson learnt, depending on how she takes it.

    Yes, I expect HBJ to lose the match and she has only herself to blame entirely. I don't know how her coaches would take it or deal with her later.

    What HBJ needs is Akane's physique/fitness/stamina !

    Hats off to HBJ. Could not believe after second game that third game would be competitive.

    I'm afraid this is only going to be a Pyrrhic victory for either ladies. How are they going to face TTY tomorrow, half-spent ?

    Frankly, I feel HBJ deserves to lose, dropping G2 the way she did is simply unacceptable

    It's like a fight between the snipe and the clam , and the fisherman is the one who benefits

    Unluckily, it's a net fault after hitting a sitter.

    You really need luck in such a tight, grueling match

    Critical error by umpire, shuttle was clearly over the net.

    Fitness and stamina triumphs over skills in the end. AY deserves to win for her never-say-die attitude. HBJ deserves to lose for her own problems and vulnerabilities.
