Surprised that LXR (#3) got beaten by PVS! I already suspect LXR's form is suspect, judging from her displays so far.
I was wrong about Li Xuerui. Carolina Marin has been pushed to the full 3 games for the past 2 days. I wonder if her body and injuries can take it if she is to defend it. Saina Nehwal, Ratchanok Intanon and Wang Shixian are now possible title contenders.
I was surprised too.... Very much so infact.... Especially after Sindhu's performance against Line...
If I had to rate their chances, I would still put CM at #1. (Although my #2 got beaten today) My list for WS:-- 1.CM 2.PVS 3.WY 4.TZY 5.WSX 6.SJH 7.LF 8.SN (perennial WC QF jinx)
Too bad i think CM is not 100% fit, else, she can simply grabs the title, judging from her recent tourney, simply too strong for her opponents at the moment.. Lets see if SJH can rise the ocassion
i think if saina beats wang yihan tomorrow she will probably take the gold. . a pretty bold statement though, i know
I guaran-DAMN-tee that if Saina wins tomorrow by stroke of divine luck, she will either win Gold or strategically tank the final against Sindhu. Hope for the latter as an Indian.
If Marin wins again, she might be breaking into legend status already. That would be incredible. She would probably only need next year's Olympics to be considered one of the all time greats.
