Yup, BYX is not really her usual self. Maybe she felt "threatened" having to face YY at the net. If BYX can plays her creative game, then BYX/CS has a chance. 19-15 to the favourite.
Once again, BYX's lack of power is her downfall. YY reads her like a book and pushes to the open court. 18-15
I feel BYX feels a little intimidated by her seniors and also a little guilty for letting her partner down
The Germans have come a long way with Marc Zwiebler (MS) and Juliane Schenk (WS) making to the finals of a premiere super series finals and in Indonesia at that. It is a first for the German MS and WS players to be in this lofty position together and obviously Germany must be doing something right with their training. No one would have predicted this situation at the beginning of the tournament and kudos to these two gutsy players
