    You see, just now, after Ma Jin smashes, she wants to quickly move to the front court and let Tang YT take over at the back but her opponent is not allowing her to.

    Ratchanok will surpass Saina irrespective of her result today. TTY will be ahead of PV by a few hundred points.

    Yeah...even I said the same thing when this rule was inculcated..they should follow the challenge rule as such in tennis...
    If just like the badminton player tennis players had conjusted only in 2 challenges Serena would've lost today to Caroline wozniacki...

    Neither side is giving way. The battle continues in a see-saw pattern with some really nice rallies and good smashes countered with beautiful retrivals

    Now 17-all.

    Just witnessed the longest rally so far with JPN hitting out at last but still leading 19-18.

    Now 19-all again even.

    An unexpected error at the net by Ma Jin gave JPN G1, 21-19.

    Will CHN be able to regroup and take G2?

    Yesterday Saina lost her only two challenges in the 1st set, it must be worrying her at the back of her mind, a kind of 'disadvantage' I'd say.

    It's gonna be another long game with yet another long rally until CHN hit out.

    If Ma Jin has a stronger attack at the back comparable to her younger partner's, then this pair will be more balanced, just like Tian Qing/Zhao Yunlei, no need to mention WXL/YY, the fearsome duo.

    The taller and stronger Tang smashed consecutively to win back a point 2-all.

    Indeed Ma Jin is counting on her precise drops from the back to create opportunities for Tang to bring it down.

    A short lift from JPN allowed MJ to smash through, now CHN leads 7-2.

    Please let's WD be over soon and have the JPN pair wins in 2 sets. I want to watch KM vs. WZM.

    I was surprised to learn that the Luo twin sisters scored an emphatic victory over the Danish pair Kamilla/Christinna yesterday, the same pair who trounced them the week before. If the Danish pair lost without any good excuses, then Id say the Luo sisters are quick learners, intelligent players.

    MJ's experience proves decisive, 8-3 for CHN.

    Patience man. Unlikely that your wish will come true, I'm afraid.

    CHN leads at the interval 11-4. Surely G3 is to be expected.
