    JOJ refuses to take no for an answer, the umpire is equally adamant not to let him towel down. He's even calling for the tournament referee who however seems not interested to get involved.

    According to GC, Kenneth Jonassen is talking to the tournament referee while the match is continuing.

    JOJ takes the shuttle as it's going wide, centimeters from the floor.

    JOJ is reading LCW's game well, increasing his lead now to 19-13.

    On top of that, JO has got the physicality, aggression and a very good defence, that's what's needed to have any chance of beating LCW.

    LCW is very confident when smashing against JOJ but less so against Chen Long.

    That was close, but LCW comes through in the end. Great fight from JOJ once again.

    Was it just me, or was LCW playing just a bit below himself throughout the game? It never looked like he didn't have the answers, though - seemed to be more about execution and patience.

    I feel like JOJ has the game to beat these guys (more than Axelsen), but never quite manages to see the game through when it matters (SS/SSP/WC knockout stages).

    LCW probably has enough of those JPN open silver dinner plates already for his family.

    Somebody passed LCW a MAS flag to drape over thinking it's still the Olympics.

    Even with current age, he still one to beat. Still fitter than most of the opponents.

    Sun Yu's superior stamina and reach may give her the edge in a three-setter though HBJ is the more skillful of the two.

    The ladies will greatly appreciate a makeshift cubicle at courtside or some corner where they can go change their soaked tops, if only. Porntip would love it.

    I'm waiting to see where or how HBJ is going to find her reserves of energy.
