    The MS right now is what i am looking to! Legendary players too mature, bright players too immature, and good players too inconsistent. That's what it's interesting! Everyone is great, but not too great, so we can't expect a winner before the game started.

    Won't be fun if minions were playing like they had been these days.
    What is it with getting married and declining in performance?

    Nothing wrong with expecting your favorites to play well and get a little disappointed if they didn't.

    I must admit it's their attire that has gotten into my head this time. :p

    Particularly Shi Yuqi, called it an upset. Viktor Axelsen losing is understandable, Lee CW is too hot to handle.

    SEMIFINAL (12.00pm) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...A2F1F1-666B-424C-B72A-8FC1421165A0&d=20180630

    Men's Singles
    • Lee Chong Wei v Tommy Sugiarto, a mamooth task and mission impossible for Sugiarto to overcome the on-fire home hero, head to head stats displaying the limping record between these two semifinalists, 16-0 favours to Malaysian iconic star. Lee never drops any game en route to semifinal including how he demoslished world number one & world champion Viktor Axelsen yesterday, 21-17 / 21-9. It's excellent run however by Tommy Sugiarto to revive his badminton career and book last four spot here, he applies good tactic to outmaneuver Shi Yuqi also two younger opponents previously, Kantaphon Wangcharoen & Sameer Verma.
    • Srikanth Kidambi v Kento Momota, the more interesting semifinal line-up, equal chance and high possibility close contest between two hotshots of current generation. Momota passed very stern test in opening round to overcome Anthony Ginting while Srikanth steps up to semifinal with convincing way to eliminate Jan Jorgensen, Wang Tzu Wei and Brice Leverdez.
    Women's Singles
    • A difficult job for Pusarla Sindhu to halt the unstoppable Tai Tzu Ying, the Indian ace suffered four consecutive defeats in last four meetings. Sindhu knocked out the Olympic Champion Carolina Marin in tight battle, 22-20 / 21-19. Looks like Sindhu has not back to her fine form yet.
    • Surprised is created by He Bingjiao to outwit more-favoured the consistent Akane Yamaguchi in two straight-games. The Chinese minimize her usual uncharacteristc errors and good placement as well to contribute her victory yesterday. Let's see whether He could overcome the skillful Ratchanok Intanon.
    Men's Doubles
    • The most shocking defeat in this tournament so far, invincible duo Gideon/Sukamuljo succumb to Chinese juniors He JT/Tan Q, 21-17 / 21-11. The Indonesians performance are struggling since Thomas Cup last month and that circumstances pretty much described on quarterfinal clash yesterday, the defending champion couldn't read the Chinese game plan well due to unfamiliarity.
    • Two Japanese doubles march on to next phase, Kamura/Sonoda & Endo/Watanabe, it's JPN-CHN semifinal affairs.
    Women's Doubles
    • On paper prediction, top-seed Chen QC/Jia YF will meet familiar foe Matsutomo/Takahashi tomorrow, an intriguing final encounter.
    • Korean new combination Kim HR/Kong HY show good development so far as Korea is still build up their new squad towards Tokyo 2020.
    • Pradipta/Haris continue their winning mode to down Chinese women's doubles pair, they also have positive record against World Champion Chen/Jia.
    Mixed Doubles
    • China biggest opportunity to scoop title here through their two leading pairs, Zheng SW/Huang YQ and Wang YL/Huang DP.
    • Second tournament after Watanabe/Higashino won sensational All England crown, they lost in BAC last sixteen to Chinese pair Zhang N/Li YH. It's one hit wonder or All England glory really boost their confidence to climb up their status as one of top-ranked pair.

    Just watched the all China XD QF. What a joke. He Jiting barely moved and looks like he opted to be the female player with Du Yue running all around. Infuriating :mad:

    Love this English pair. I just think they play rather recklessly. Good results in this tournament though so maybe they can upset.

    Wang/Huang did it. They have made it through the Final.
    At this rate, they might win the title.
