2012 India Open SS: Comments on matches

As usual, Lee CW is off to a blistering start, he's unstoppable,no way anybody can upset him here, I daresay the title is his for the taking

 

21-8 in 12 mins G1, a walk in the park,a piece of cake, Lee CW The Maestro : "London ,Here I come !"

 

13-all? Oh dear,what happened? You were firing on all cylinders in G1, now you're using a pistol?!

 

Aunty Yao JIe is definitely wine/ginger, the older the better, still going strong

 

LCW's injury re-occured? He is giving HHY too much point.

Live Stream is offline, 2nd Round will start from Thur. April 26th 1PM India time. Huh?

 

Hope not,probably conserving his energy and not wanting to push his shoulder/hand too much in R1.
Also sparing a thought for his next round opponent,don't want to give him nightmares tonight

 

Gu Juan is starting well against Inthanon. However,I believe my princess Inthanon should take it nicely.

 

Still 22-21 after so many minutes, wow,that must be a world record rally in any sport

 

Live score is working again now

 

...think i might have spoken too soon

 

Towi/Butet in a 15all now against KSH/EHW, meanwhile RIjal/Debby is at 18 all up against Home favorite XD at rubber game.

 

Livescore was working and stopped again

 

Ya,stuck at 7-4 now, they (I don't mean the players) like to keep us in suspense, play guessing games,more exciting than Sandy's PAW

 

Shocker, Inthanon retired in G3 , maybe that's why LS stopped for a while, couldn't take it either

 

But TS site is working. Wow, Rijal/Debby lost to the India pair! Oh, livescore is working again. Did the organisers take early dinner, since it's ard 6 pm there?

 

I feel that a young promising lass like Inthanon, and for that matter Tai TY as well,could use a mentor, not just a coach, would do their growing up years a lot of good and in turn for their badminton too.

 

An unconvincing win for Towi/Butet and that is apparent in their second-set loss, despite leading as much as 14-9, only to be overtaken (as usual) and losing it 18-21. They also couldn't kill off the match at 18-9 and once again had to allow the opponents to close the gap from 9 to only 2 points at 18-20.

Rijal/Debby's loss to the Indian pair was also a testament to their potential. They are at best a top 13 pair...that's it!

 

LXR is the player everyone wants to beat now, against her you've nothing to lose,nothing to fear,can play with wild abandon,try anything,throw everything at her...whereas for her,she may become too self-conscious,affected by the pressure of the burden of expectation - let's see how she handles it.

 

taufik seems to play well against his twin brother
