I saw her passed by and settled into the Premier Section. Today is a free-seating day and I took advantage of the PS to take better pictures as it is nearest to the courts. CM was quietly browsing through her iPhone, very relaxed and comfortable. I was hesitant to take her picture as I did not want to disturb her. But another guy spotted her and quickly asked a lady sitting in the front row to take a picture with CM. Drawing up enough courage, I followed suit and had a photo taken with CM.
So you had to borrow courage? Next Day just bump into China's dressing room and grab everyone by throat including Chen Long and Lin Dan and don't forget to ask(or Order if you like) ''Chelpie ! "
Two MS have progressed to R/16, Jonatan Christie and Son Wan Ho. Indian player Prannoy grabbed first game 21-18 against top-seed Chen Long.
Lin Dan edges past Ihsan Maulana Mustofa, 21-16 / 21-19. Another Indonesian youngster will wait him tomorrow, Jonatan Christie.
Wow! what a good match to start my day Old Lin Dan beat Young Taufik in two straight games 21-16 21-19 just using his third gear.
At court 3, world number one Chen Long almost suffered early exit, won over H.S. Prannoy narrowly, 18-21 / 21-18 / 21-19 in 70 mins. 7th seed Chou Tien Chen was sent packing by Angus Ng Ka Long, 9-21 / 19-21.
Chen long escaped the first round against Prannoy. Prannoy should have taken this. Anyhow, it is a good experience for his future tournaments. I love the way he kept world no.1 on his toes most of the time.
