Ko Sung Hyun and Eom Hye Won did extremely well despite the loss... really gave the favourites a good fight Too bad they couldn't pull through. But I can see some improvement in their partnership which is whats most important. Perhaps had they been on the other side of the pool they could've gotten further in the tournament
if only pelatnas dont have policy to focus a player in one dept, we may have many option, like trying to pair Tiara or Greysia with Rijal or Fran.... we have to do something to a pair which quite stagnant in more than 2 years... because of the policy, the option is not much...
I have watched Petya match before.. She is quite good in fact. Coming up from a country which badminton is not a famous sport, thus does not have many good sparring partners..
Oh my,one more upset,my other princess Tai TY toppled by another equally young Indian hopeful. Good for India, helping to ease Saina's burden.
sad and very a heart attack game to see Tzu Ying loss!! And once again 21-19 with this time round in straight sets.. Hais!!
Too bad SS got defeated by HKV, but HKV deserves to win indeed. But, honestly I'm not so amused by @rajivouseph comment about HKV winning on his twitter account. I think it's not professional to make such remark. Moreover it's not like Rajiv is a much superior player from SS. I really don't like player with such attitude.

Saina had better be careful not to be bundled out by Yippy who's capable of frightening almost anyone on her good day. IIRC,Yip has beaten Saina not too long ago. Edit: looks like my memory failed me, it was quite long ago, the last two meetings went the way of Saina's. Anyway,my point is Yippy is capable of upsetting her.
