    That I understand, just that contractually as passengers of a certain airline, we can only go after the airline, not the airport, in the case of checked baggage; it's for the airline to deal with the airport. Thanks for your info, nevertheless.

    Missing kit bag controversy definitely affected him. His yelling fell into well. He has to play with whatever shoes available. Unfortunate. With 2 or 3 rackets yonex provided him. Is it enough?

    Qiao Bin, what's the use of winning G1, 21-9, only to lose G2, 21-23 after being 20-18 up, and allowing Prannoy to come back and fight for G3 ?

    HS Prannoy played erratic most of the time but still managed to win!

    Very strange opening game between Shi Yuqi and Ander Antonsen, both playing like they were old men?

    If Shi Yuqi is trying to bait Anders into over-reaching himself in the 1st game, then it's not working-- it's more like Anders is baiting Shi into trying to catch up before closing out the game... Neither players willing to "show their hand" or go 100% yet?

    Update: Shi starts playing for real and takes the 2nd game; Anders' racquet skills, tactics, fitness... actually everything about him, is a bit undercooked-- but he has natural instinct and great reflexes (like Victor did when he debuted), so hopefully the Danish badminton federation will take good care of Anders...

    Shi yuqi is moving very well . Jumping very well for smashes. I hope doctors would have diagnosed him before letting him for playing another tournament. Otherwise, he himself would have avoided playing.

    Shi Yuqi is lethargic, his energy comes in short bursts.

    Not really, but it's like a seasoned old man playing a clueless youngster-- so I'm guessing Shi is being extra careful not to injure himself again? This is probably Shi playing at 70-80%, and not because Anders is "controlling/outplaying" him like Lee Chong Wei did.

    Cos Anders is making lots of great saves/returns only to lose the point with a lousy attack/clear....

    UPDATE: Shi takes the match 2-1: I don't think he was ever really troubled by Anders-- that kid's gameplay and body language was even more obvious than Axelsen's ever was, it'll take at least another year or two to work out all the kinks/flaws in Ander's game (I mean, if even I could tell what he was trying to do)... hope he'll be patient with himself and not go get hurt or anything.

    Good thing, Shi Yuqi refocused himself and reeled off the next 5 points towards the end to seal victory.

    Not sure if he can do that the following rounds, last week's endeavour seemed to have affected his form a bit coming here.
