I think Saina is OUT because Marin has won 3 games and lost 4 whereas Saina has now won 3 games but lost 5 games. The ranking is decided first on number of matches won; then if equal on difference of games won and games lost, and then on difference of points.
its ok saina.....never mind.... happy with ur performances......but remember, here after u dont lose to TAI and this noise pollution............good luck.
Exactly, after a one-match-win tiebreak, the next criterion is games won,if still a tie, then finally points difference; in the latter two scenarios, Marin is ahead of Saina.
see that NOISE POLLUTION.....she has not upadated last 2 days...now she comes to twiter that she is in semis......hahahaha.....how shame abt this lady???
What a bad day! Srikanth couldn't even win a single set in the tournament. And Saina so close yet so far. One thing is for certain - A crowd cheering for you is only an advantage if you are the underdog, otherwise it could be a burden.
this is why i never like these group matches, especially in BIG tournaments like Olympics. apart from players trying to lose for their advantages like 2012 London OLY you can also have a champion that lost 1 or even 2 matches en route. in the old day if you're the champion means that you're undefeated, PERIOD.
Pathetic beyond belief............... Atleast JOJ....has the decency to update....'Hey,It was a Bad Day'...........Even though his opponent was better in reality
So the names of the players who will be playing in the semifinals is out. MS Kento momota, Victor Axelsen, Chen Long and Jan O Jorgensen. WS Nozomi Okuhara, Saina Nehwal, Wang Yihan and Ratchanok Intanon. MD Lee Yong Dae / Yoo Yeon Seong, Mohammed Ahsan / Hendra Setiawan, Mathias Boe / Carsten Mogensen and Chai Biao / Hong Wei. WD Luo Ying / Luo Yu, Ayaka Takahashi / Misaki Matsutomo, Indonesia WD and Christina Pedersen / Kamilla RhyteR Juhl. XD Reginald Lee Chun Hei / Chau Hoi Wah, Gabrielle Adcock / Chris Adcock, Ko Sung Hyun / Kim Ha Na and Praveen Jordan / Debby Susanto.
Latest edited WS list. Who would have thought that Tai Tzu Ying will win today. Not me. Hence here is the latest changes. WS Carolina Marin, Nozomi Okuhara, Wang Yihan and Ratchanok Intanon.
will it really make her stronger, though? She has now lost her last 4 matches against Tai. And in the last 3, she lost despite winning the first game. Saina got to work on her movement and patience.
