    Nishimoto was qualifying in Olympic's race (#9) and also in top 8 of WTF's race

    wow, even Korea's fans also support to Momota.

    It makes me surprised

    Momota played more aggressively in the 2nd half of the 3rd game and it paid off.

    Yes, poor guy has been staying only for one night in all the tournament venues he has entered.

    Not good business for the hotel.

    The lighting on court 3 is bad. So many shadows.

    What happened to Yang Po-Hsuan and Hu Ling Fang? Left one point only and they retired?

    I think something is broken in his brains. That has happened on a heavy head blow to thousands of people. Some even can't produce words properly any more. Our body just need the brains on many functions. Your brains can't slow down at all if you want to be a badminton king.

    I don't think Momota is ever an aggressive player. It's that sense of urgency in his play that got him to where he was in the past and he showed a glimpse of that in yesterday's match. Don't think it's sustainable though so let's see what he's got next.
