C'mon, Marc! A little surprised about Juliane, but she's been run ragged last week and the way in which Sun beat Hashimoto yesterday led me to believe that Sun might progress. I'm half expecting Sun to be a finalist this week. I was also expecting Carolina to proceed further. I'm fine with WYH winning, but if she's going to throw the match against WSX tomorrow, I'd rather that Marin had made it.
All three INA XD pairs have progressed into QF, if Towi/Liliyana eliminate English XD Adcock/White tomorrow, 1 final ticket will be secured
the match between world number 8 vs 9 TTY just simply outclassed MM with brilliant placement and out of syllabus return. MM basically get frustrated after being running all over the court yet unable to win a point. TTY did quite a lot of mistake in this match which she cant afford on the next match against sun yu. happy birthday!
Damn, Marc has problems. Against a runner like DP it got no easier... Maybe he can still do it in the third.
Sun Yu is still relatively young and inexperienced, and not a thinking player yet based on my impressions of how she was beaten by Sayaka Takahashi in the past who caught her time and again with the same shot. I've a feeling she may not know how to deal with TTY's deceptive game. But that's the past, I'm sure she'll grow and develop as a player.
