Looks like Chen Xiaojia is going to upset her senior Jiang YJ
Awaiting the outcome of P. Kashyap-Chou TC ,now still in progress,one game each and just starting rubber setwho simon opponent on quaterfinal?,
Good, Vivian/WKW beat their experienced Macau opponents Zhang Zhibo/Wang Rong in straight games to check into the quarters. Meanwhile Vountus/Lutfi managed to take advantage of their good draw to reach the QF but they won't go further than that.
Thanks for the reminder
MS R16
Tommy Sugiarto [9] vs Mohd Hafiz Hashim - this will be an interesting match. I hope Tommy can beat Hafiz to confirm that he's ready to be counted as one of INA's Thomas Cup players next year as Hafiz is likely to be MAS's 2nd or 3rd MS (depends on whether his ranking is still above Liew Daren by then).
In fact, Hafiz reached QF at the Yonex-Sunrise Vietnam Open GP & Yonex Chinese-Taipei Open GPG.
My conclusion as well after watching her in HK. Good technique - can add a bit of acceleration and she'll be in the top ten.Dang and double dang! Michelle got completely smoked in G3.
She needs to get physically stronger and a little faster. Hopefully with experience she will be able to close the deal on better players in the near future.
All in all, a commendable effort but I'm sure Michelle will know she let a big fish swim away.
I remember watching Saina inthe Macau Open some years ago. My comment then was change of acceleration being something Saina needed to add. I think Michelle shows a better game but it's rather similar that Michelle can do with better acceleration and change of pace within a rally.Agree with Cheung. I think Michelle Li is really a good prospect for Canada. She just needs more experience playing in GPG levels and above tourneys.
