2016 Celcom Axiata MALAYSIA Open SS Premier : Qualifying & R/32

KS is out. I wonder what happened to him? He simply need to have different training regime to revive his lost form.
 
I am told that Malaysia is going through a very hot and dry spell. If the arena is not air-conditioned the temperature inside can easily touched 35 to 37C. Players from cold countries will be badly affected.

Meanwhile THW is losing his plot in G2.

Quite sure THW will take the 3rd set ...
 
He Bingjiao's inconsistency is an issue, her lack of experience in the senior circuit told; after all she is only barely a year into the senior level full-time and hadn't played enough tournaments, only a handful of low level ones, during her junior days. I should think it's normal to have ups and downs at the beginning of her career at the senior level - if only she had started competing in the senior circuit much earlier at a younger age like most of her peers.

In the match with Sindhu, her more experienced opponent was keeping the shuttle down and/or playing fast flat drives all the time, only lifting when necessary or forced to, which time and again forced HBJ to lift, and Sindhu was ready to quickly get behind the shuttle and pounced on it. Besides, HBJ was more error-prone today than usual, another weakness of hers that needs rectifying.

Not to worry, HBJ is a smart, thinking player, she'll get it right the next time they meet. As HBJ matures- I consider her quite mature for her age - her rise to seriously challenge the top players won't be far off, rather pretty soon.

Also JOJ mentioned the excessive drift in this stadium during his practice sessions. Maybe foreign players not used or familiar with the conditions here , esp the young and inexperienced ones, may have some difficulty coping.

As Zwiebler mentioned last year (when I remember correctly):"The drift is so strong, we could also play outside - makes no difference". :D
