Thaihot CHINA Open SS Premier 2014 : Round of 16 (13th November 2014)

Saina enters Quarters beating Qinjinjing in straight games 21-18,21-18 though I feel it as unconvincing victory.

As Mr.Epic said, she might be struggling with movement still?. Definitely it's not a good sign.
 
Objectively speaking, I'm still not sure Lin Dan can win this tournament in his current state. But once he's fully recovered and back to about 90% level, then he may be unstoppable, still no guarantee unless he's regained his top form as before.
 
I heard LD just came back to court last week after the knee injury. He haven't decided to play this tournament until last minutes. He told the reporter that he has recovered 70%. 70% LD is still able to beat world no.3. But I think Chen Long has a good chance to register the first win against LD if they meet in the final. Having said that LD usually improves during a tournament.

Lin Dan still making uncharacteristic mistakes now and then.

Same old Justin. Remember LXR. Now you are questioning LD's ability!

That's right, he tested his knee a couple of days prior to the start of the tournament before deciding to give it a go. He really didn't want to disappoint his fans and Fuzhou is where BAYI team of PLA of which he is a member is located.

LXR was in a similar situation (leg injury) and was apologetic for having to withdraw and pledged she'd be back as Fuzhou is also holding the next two CHN Open PSS.
