Excellent play by Lim Yin Fun especially that smash down the line at 19-20. That requires alot of guts.
I sense the pressure getting into Eriko. She can breathe easier now after narrowly bagging the 1st set. Lim Yin Fun has to go for broke.
Wei Nan in a must-win situation isn't performing up to par ? In R1 he beat Viktor Axelsen convincingly.
Wei Nan does not perform today, he's outplayed by Kento Momota in straight MS2: Kento MOMOTA bt WEI Nan 21-9, 21-14 in 36 minutes JPN 3 - 0 HKG
It's fascinating to watch two top singles pairing to play double. A nice experience since the IND WD2 is an obvious weak spot!
How did you get the draw of India vs Thailand. I am only able to go till team matches and then I don't know how to go for individual matches list in the draw

Matsuo/Naito's strategy today is to tiring their opponents. So many long rallies were played and the Japanese are more patient.
Interesting to learn that Mami NAITO/Shizuka MATSUO are currently ranked #93 [accounted from 3 tournaments only]. They bypass some more higher ranks within JPN team. Btw, Naito has a good, muscular built, she has powerful smash and good reach.
No joke! They may want to prove who is better on court and we should expect a number of clashes, haha.
Brice Leverdez has forced the game to a rubber 21-11, 17-21. I'm rooting for France to qualify for QFs. Brice should take this one.
