After the first game the scoreboard stopped working. He called them over as they were about to start the second game and agreed with them it was 11-4 in the second. They couldn't understand him but did when he called it out loud.
Tomorrow: May vs LXR for a shootout!!! A very deserving WC medal for Sindhu nevertheless -she showed what she is capable of and will definitely improve.
One step at a time for Mohd Ahsan/Hendra Setiawan as they now progress to the Final of the World Championships!
It's an entirely different matter when you play as an underdog without any pressure against a highly-fancied but nervous opponent than when you begin to have hopes and expectations to win yourself. What the pressure of the burden of expectations and nerves can do to any player is not to be overlooked especially on big occasions.
Rat destroyed her in India as well though. I just think Rat has her number and the skillz to not let her get in the game.
May is just demonstrating why she's one of the best frontrunners in the business today... A frightening demolition job!
Sindhu's excellent matches against shixian and defending champion yihan really took the toll. She seems to me as very tired looking and making many unforced errors. But really she did an excellent job by entering semifinals and winning a medal for india. Really marvellous job. We should appreciate her. Congratulations Sindhu for your history making (for india).
