My perception is. And my friends in Rio told me it was slow and it get even slower after a few shots. So fast players like to get new shuttle more than usual frequency.
TTY's deceptive strokes which are so successful against Saina were not working against PV Sindhu. I think PVS is better than Saina in that way. More speed, more varied strokes. She needs consistency. .
WYH must be happy to face Sindhu. W always has trouble playing with TTY and lost to TTY very recently.
what a luxury it is to sit and watch your about to be opponent's match, wyh is making good use of a bye to the quarters
on the other hand sindhu must be feeling good about her chances against wang yihan having beaten her the last time they met in straight games, this is a good draw for her, if she can hold her nerves anything can happen.
I must say Sugiarto's smash defense is pretty stellar.Ouseph keeps trying with those angles but they just keep coming back!
