Just watched AhsanHendra match the last 3 minutes.. It was 16-16 and then just simple errors from pramudya..
You're absolutely right with your explanation. I don't know if you are blocked in Denmark for the tournaments in Asia. I just checked it with a VPN from Denmark and youtube is geoblocked. I only know that I used VPN during my last stay at Denmark Open to watch the games at the evening in the hotel.
That sara eye incident is very unfortunate.....i really hope no permanent dmg.... Meantime good day for malaysians.......many reps

A repeat blunder happens (once again) when leading comfortably in opening game 17-10 then drowning himself into misery as Lee Cheuk Yiu slowly but sure catching up and takes it, 19-21. No other scenario for Ginting instead of grab second game, that causing draining much energy to apply offensive style, 21-13. Then Lee CY is back to business in third game, leading all the way 11-7 and becomes more confident to smash as Ginting power is already waned, 12-21. A reversal of fortune arrives to Wang Tzu Wei who avenges his close defeat last week over Ng Ka Long, this time with two quick games straight-forwardly. Viktor Axelsen outmaneuvers three-time WJC Vitidsarn, Chou Tien Chen passes complicated task Brice Leverdez. The unseeded Sameer Verma outclasses the well-improved Rasmus Gemke with convincing scoreline, 21-12 / 21-9 and will take on another Dane player, Anders Antonsen in last eight. Dropping first game, fight hard to seal the second, Ratchanok Intanon almost blew her chance in deciding game,13-4, 15-8, thereafter she loosen her grip to let Sung Ji Hyun closing the gap, luckily former World Champion regains concentration to seal last eight berth and will be challenged by reigning World Champion Pusarla V.

French young prospects Gicquel/Delrue can't reproduce their sterling performance in second day of tournament, lost to MAS Hoo PR/Cheah YS. LIVE TV COVERAGE
LOL yes. It was so one-sided, I switched to the other doubles match midway. It wasn't entertaining at all.
seems like MAS camp having better results on this tournament compared to last week tournament, maybe "Toyota" preferable to MAS camp than "Yonex".... last week YONEX Thailand Open QF rounds, MAS have 6 representatives, 1 representative (MD) able to enter to SF rounds; this week TOYOTA Thailand Open QF rounds, MAS have 9 representatives, got 2 representatives (MD & WD) to enter to SF rounds...
Hope GLY is okay. Satwik has certainly improved his Front court movement and Ashwini is getting better and better at managing him. Good tournament for them so far
GLY yesterday posted her IG that she had traditional needle therapy on her knee, maybe not fully recover yet...
QF & SF results for AhsanHendra in 2 tournaments, thats not too shabby. Hope it can be more but its realistic. For 2021, in rankings, everyones is a winner. top players dont need to defend points while lower ranked players can close the gap with double chance as well. I hope so... I hope ShettyRR can win the title. Theyve been close several times.
