The STAR AUSTRALIAN Open SS 2015 : QUARTERFINALS (29th May 2015)

XD: KO Sung Hyun/KIM Ha Na [7](KOR) bt XU Chen/MA Jin [1](CHN) 27-25, 19-21, 21-16 in 81 minutes

H2H 2-1...the 2nd longest match!
 
Great end of the day imo and even better that ksh khn won

Again Ina mx against underdogs on TV court. I don't understand it... At least court 2 is also covered. But in worse quality...
 
I knew this would happen when CJ became the head coach of WS. No eye see.

Zhang Ning needs to come back and helps Sun Yu!!!

I fully agree and was upset when CJ replaced ZN as head WS coach. We cansee clearly yhe difference in results between 2009-2012 and 2013-2015.
 
What a day of upset! Only one CHN's WSX survived easily today. 2 Koreans and 1 Spanish remain. Couldn't believe it that Ice Queen, LXR lost to SJH. Bravo SJH!

As usual, INA WD, XD, MD are nowhere to be found. It is either TA/LN or Ahsan/Hendra with the latter seems to be less consistent. I watched LuKai/Liu Cheng and they were amazing beating up Koreans KSH/SBC. No more Cai Yun in MD anymore I suppose.
 
Now with the exit of LXR in this tournament, it's official that WSX is the best performing China WS player here. All WSX needs to do now is win the title.

I like to hear the shouting match between WSX and Carolina in the final.
 
it's sad to see that the state of thailand MS is the same as neighbouring malaysia. with only veterans to rely on. they had much promise in tanongsak but up till now, he's been more off than on.

You can say the same fate also have plagued KOREA, INA, MAS.
JPN, INDIA and now DEN have several rising MS players to contend with CHN :)
 
So the verdict here for the Saina vs WSX match.

I would say that in the latter part of both games, Saina went into self-destruct mode.
...
I have no doubt the next time Saina plays, she will win against WSX.
I have similar views to the quoted above part.
I missed the match, so watched it in youtube just now.
She was level 14-14 in the first game before loosing 15-21, and she was 10-9 up in the second before loosing 13-21.
She lost her focus (and patience) towards the end of both games. It was a strange match from Saina.
WSX played well, but Saina played badly- way below what she is capable.


As for the next time, that can be just one weeks from now at the Indonesia SSP quarters. A bigger tournament in terms of both prize money and ranking points. May be Saina was saving herself for that, so she didn't go all out?
Hope she wins in Indonesia.

And what's with these supposedly Indian commenters here cheering for an Indian player to loose against a Chinese player. I really don't get them. I have never seen a Chinese commenter in this forum who cheers for a Chinese player to loose against an Indian player. At least the Chinese have some self-respect.
In fact, I am not even sure if these guys haven't created fake accounts.

To find WSX pretty is one thing(personally I find her movements pretty, not so much her face), but to actually cheer all the way for her against Saina, who is from your own country, that's just too much.

There are a few players from outside India that I like, but I never support them if they are up against say Saina, Sindhu or Srikanth. I support them in neutral matches though.
 
nice photo, eh?

There's still WSX. hope she wins otherwise China women single in trouble. I still remember a few years back even their 2nd tier players formidable. should let CJ have WSX and rest players back to ZN.
