He can't skip this, will get fined. He should have let go of HK Open last week or maybe the Macau GPG later.
Looks like Sasaki is folding like the "non champion" he is. Lin Dan would win the 2nd set with ease, and then win the 3rd set 30-29 after toying with LCW as usual.
ZYL complain about the service baseline call. but cannot really tell from the replay nor can we blame the linejudge as ZYL's foot is obstructing the shuttle.
Not this one, Premier SS is compulsory; I'm surprised he signed up for the Macau Open next week, Lin Dan too!
Relieved, Lee takes two, and Sho earns even more of my respect,he has the capability to upset almost anyone.
Koo-Tan are a joke now - as bad as, if not worse than Hidayat. Also, they are 0-5 against their opponents, and have only ever taken 1 set off them. Should be a straight sets loss tonight.
. World No.1, Zhang Nan/Zhao Yunlei (CHN) are just too strong for Chen Hung Ling/Cheng Wen Hsing (TPE), taking Game 1 - 21-13 without problems in just 15 minutes. .
Cheng Wen Hsing is quite an excellent XD player. very calm and unpredictable. but too bad her service is just a disaster.
