DUBAI World Superseries Finals 2016 - DAY-1 : Group Stage Matches (14th December)

2nd game drifting away from the danes as usual against Kim/ Ko. 3rd game is likely

 

Omg after saving a match point the Korean have a match point :O

 

Fischer's performance at the age of 38 is just astounding

 

OMG the koreans wins the second !!!! What a drama xDDD Already 50 minutes into this match

 

You can see how hard it is on his body but he's really got the passion for the game. That's what drives him

 

Fisher is really impressive... 39 yo and playing an 1 hour long (already) match against the top seeds

 

Wow, Sung Ji Hyun take the first set over Ratchanok Intanon.

 

SJH has won many times against Ratchanok , their H2H is 6-6. Definitely expected a three setter

 

thought marin scream

 

The SSF would've been better and more representative if it's expanded to the top 16 in each category.

Looks like Tian Houwei has become more energetic, proactive, better footwork and wristwork than before; overall improvement in attack and defense..

 

Sung Ji Hyun's fine form carries over from the KOR Open triumph.

 

Amazing match by Fisher Petersen. ! Well deserved victory

 

Definitely like the top 8 format. There would no prestige whatsoever in a top 16 tournaments. This works for tennis and many other sports.

 

Yes, their H2H is 6-6 but 4 last meetings won by RI by the way.

Today, I think SJH will make it 7-6 over RI

 

But not at Lin Dan's level yet.

 

Ratchanok clearly still not fully fit. It's pretty sad to see. She has already given up on this game.

 

Wonder whether Ratchanok is gonna withdraw after this match. Clearly not moving well

 

Of course, he lost to Lin Dan in the CBSL. Still room for improvement in Tian Houwei, about time he makes a breakthrough or a couple more of his junior teammates will soon leave him behind.

 

The chinese XD are either not awake or they are throwing this game for real....lol Barely 13 minutes in that first game.. oO
