    He’s not disrespecting Daddies. We all respect them but daddies has not been in that form which they had 2-3 years ago. So yes, new WR1 and hot prospect SatwikChirag should have won it against them. And I know, losses can happen but still given the form and the year both the pairs have had, SatChi should have won. Except for health issue (which I’m unaware of as I haven’t seen the match), any other thing would be counted as an excuse.

    I think some of you have a fixated negativity toward LZJ. When your guys don't perform and we know who that is, we don't say anything negative. As fans we provide support, we don't need to put other players down.

    He’s not a fan of LZJ. I’ve forgotten why terry started hating him at first place. This all started 2 years ago, if I’m not wrong @terrynguyen121988 ?

    Yup, I managed to watch the replay (as I couldn't catch it live as Ct 3 is unavailable) on the Youku app using my mobile phone but not the desktop PC using web browser (@felipe take note). It appeared to me that LZJ didn't suddenly play badly after a good start to go one game to the good; on the contrary, it was LSF who stepped up his game in the 2nd and 3rd sets showing dogged determination and fighting spirit, a sign of growing maturity, I hope, to finally outpace LZJ and come out on top, 17-21, 21-11 and 21-12.

    A well-deserved triumph , in my opinion. Well done, LSF. Keep it up.

    Still we must bear in mind that LZJ on his day is a dangerous opponent for anyone, VA included.

    To me, Shi Yuqi's comprehensive victory over Anders Antonsen by the identical score of 21-13 is quite unexpected.

    Even more surprising, shocking rather, He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu demolished the INA MD pair Leo/Daniel. Unable to watch the match, no idea how HJT/RXY crafted such an astonishing feat as the INA pair is certainly no pushover.

    Shi yuqi’s results don’t surprise me anymore, for all I know he can beat VA and lose to some unknown the next round. I don’t understand his mentality and inconsistencies.

    Same with many other players.
    MS do not have a dominant player except VA.

    Excuse me! I am talking of Lee' fans, and not something negative of Lee.

    Clearly! :D:D:D

    One of the reasons :D:D:D

    Bagas/Fikri have developed very well recently, their game is starting to become more stable and they are able to beat the current top MDs, hoping they will qualify for the Paris Olympics.

    Wow AhsanHendra rolling back the years and become the oldest pair to beat WR1. Unfortunately they should be sitting duck today.

    MD excitement is just at its best after Minions retirement. Its fast and its furious with unpredictable results and no women is involved.

    What happen to WangLiang. Cant remember any top pair lost to 2 same European pairs who is basically 3rd rotations in a row.

    I suspect LZJ was affected by the line calls and umpire.

    She took to IG to mention this was more of a precaution to avoid any injuries, she felt a lingering pain in her knee.
    While this is surely a setback considering she was getting back in some form, let's not read too much into it and hope she's back in Japan

    Well said, nothing surprises me anymore in MS.
    Perhaps LS losing to a young Merkle was a bit shocking/disappointing

    I guess sexism is allowed in this forum?
