Statement from MZ after the Game

"[..].. Everthing hurts, especially my foot worries me so I will have a look if I can play tomorrow. Still happy with the result, even if it wasn't the best match today...[..]"

Oh..that's a matter of concern...
Well we dont want to see any walkovers in SF of last SSP of this session..
 
Haven't there been just too many upsets in this tournament? Just way too many...

And especially from the host players.

MS
All seeded players are out. ( assuming CTC wins which is very likely) The biggest shock being the no. 1 seed ousted. I don't think anyone will call Jan's defeat an upset, but for the rest.

WS
LXR wasn't playing. Young Yamaguchi atleast brought a solid upset. WSX and WYH are out too. What's happened to CHN WS players?

MS
The biggest upset of course being the failure of Ina MD - Ahsan/Setiawan. CHN hasn't really got a reliable pair. Koreans should take this one. It is perhaps the only discipline going by what people would guess, barring the one above.

WD
Largely all right I would say. Though Bao/Tang should have passed, but they have been off for months now.

XD
CHN really made a mark with 6 off 8 quarterfinalists. I thought they would have 3 representations in the semis, but got the pairs wrong. While Xu/ma lost, the young teenagers won, in the biggest upset of the tournament.
 
Again I can´t find any!! livestream for court 1 or 2 and BWF obviously stopped after 5 matches :/

If anyone is watching, we would appreciate to get a link ;)

On the contrary, Liu Xin holding the fort alone from the semifinal onward will feel even more pressure on homesoil and, therefore, have everything to lose. It's all up to her to prove her mettle when it comes to the crunch, nobody, including her coaches, can help her on this. Frankly, I don't think Liu Xin's mental strength is any better than WYH or WSX.

The ones who can play freely with nothing to lose are Akane Y, Bae YJ, and Saina in that order. If I have to choose among these three to take the title, I'd rate Saina right in front. But Akane Y is the dark horse.

If SN and AY wins their respective equally tough matches tomorrow ( I hope)
It will be a neck to neck battle in the finale..that would be just perfect for the last SSP finals(WS)

I understand but on the index finger? Something new to me.

Not everybody wears. Some do. There is a whole astronomy branch here, that does huge business out of it. Advertisements appear on prime time, to buy rings.

So apparently, these rings, worn on a finger depending on your birthdate etc. with stones based on that as well, are supposed to help you.

Help or not, they give you a tremendous boost mentally, if you are into that sort of things.

I doubt it. It is based on astronomer's predictions really, also there is a whole pseudo science around it. Some stones are worn only in certain fingers etc.

I am not into it, but my mom made me wear an emerald for a whole year in my little finger! People in India actually believe in it.
