    It is Okuhara's 25th birthday today. That win certainly gives her more to celebrate.

    There are times when PVS takes so long to get back on court. Other times she is so eager to get going it looks like she has a taxi waiting outside and the meter is running.
    A speeding train could be coming straight at her but she won't move until she has had a drink, changed racket, wiped down with a towel, taken a few more sips of drink, wiped down with a towel again, then slowly stroll out of the way. She reminds me of my wife :rolleyes: :D

    It's as if these tactics to try to interrupt her opponents also hinder her own chances.

    Overjoyed. She steped to the audience, it's too bad.

    I don't know why players were encouraged to not shake hand each other but organizers let them contact with audience. And actually, the virus can be on the shuttlecock, when players take it, they can be infected.

    Everyone agree with this even Viktor, but not the umpire.

    The irony is that Viktor took so long challenging then cancelling it that the time allowed to make a challenge had passed.

    If he waited to see the line judge final decision it would have allowed SYQ to challenge.

    Herry IP tell marcus to be more proactive at the front court, read the game more, he feel gideon is too static when he's at the front.

    Soh seems too lanky and awkward in exchanges to his midsection, be it flat exchanges or smashes. Front court movement seems a bit laggy as well. Counted 3 times so far he was totally caught.

    Idk if it just me but it seems like kevin has improve his power smash, he's pretty deadly from the backcourt today, I even feel he's more threatening than gideon there. it's a bit concerning to me though that gideon still relying on his power smash and not using enough variation from the back, don't think they'll survive against endo/yuta if gideon still playing like this.

    Sindhu still not in the form which got her World Championships Gold !.
    After getting the first game comfortably, she lost the plot it seems.
