No statement on the nature of the illness that I know of, but it wouldn't be a surprise if it does turn out to be COVID given how many cases there are!
I've heard that Chou Tien Chen was positive, and we know Viktor and Chou were met in semi-final All England, then next 3 days Viktor wasn't feeling well. He was retired in the fourth day. You know what I mean ^-^
Sad to see va walkover. He shd do pcr test to announce if covid positive. Antonsen vs sk is gonna be nice. Surprise to see saina lost. And india top md.
With Axelsen out of competition due to unwell condition, MS competition practically will shrink directly, title contention is wide open for below players to seize opportunity. The remaining four seeding players have unimpressive performance thus far, all had to dig deep to thwart their opponents to reach quarters. Interesting fact to know three of four Indian quarter finalists were former champions, Antonsen is the man to beat according to his world ranking, possible intriguing encounter to follow against Srikanth this evening.
Don't underestimate Prannoy. I know Ginting was good but I think Prannoy has a chance, he was the first one who can beat Viktor after Olympic. Christie can do something like Thomas Cup last year. I don't trust Antonsen in these day.
Yes they should be, considering there are only a few big names left. However, young Indonesian MDs can be serious challengers, Carnando/Marthin and Kusumawardhana/Rambitan are certainly motivated by the success of their young fellas in All England.
china. who is next? viktor lost to lky and sen? Lol https://bwfbadminton.com/news-single/2022/03/25/integrity-ruling-against-four-chinese-players/
Lol, this you really think Viktor wasted his chance to take gold medal in World Championship to PR for Dubai academy ?
If Sindhu doesn't win this tournament, it would be disappointing. Only Supanida and Busanan can challenge her.
He thinks only Lee zi jia can win Tournament fair and square. How ironic for a typical fan. Then I would say that win also questionable. If we take that one All England title , what else LZJ has got?. Players are working so hard to earn to what they are today. Talking something like this is really childish.
