Saina wins it much more comfortably against Juan this time. Last time they met, interestingly also in the first round of MO, the match went to 3 games.
Another early exit for Tommy after last week KOR SSP, this time he lost easily to Sho Sasaki, 11-21 / 12-21.
So far, this one has been the Quickie-of-the-Day!

Going by the score,Chloe Magee gave Tai-phoon a hard time, too close for comfort. Maybe Chloe is improving fast.
Just saw the results and surprised Linda trashed Eriko like that So far good day for Ina camp considering only 2 loses so far.........
Didn't expect Chen Jiayuan to overcome Petya. Hu Yun never fails to amaze me, and Wong Wing Ki is coming up steadily. YipPY is still trying hard to get into the top 10 which she said she would about a year ago, IIRC; still some way to go. Sun Yu vs Tine Baun is Youth vs Experience , a badminton generation apart. I'm impressed by Sun Yu's attitude ever since her setback at the WJC final and qualification round loss to Jindapon; she's become a very determined and self-driven player now. If she eliminates Tine, she'd probably face Tai TY,a repeat of the WJC semi-final. Good for Sun Yu's development to meet tough opposition round after round as long as she doesn't get disheartened by defeat or get knocked out too early.
