was kinda expecting RI to do so and even HBJ can do with some rest. But, Sun Yu? what happened to her? i mean yes she looked considerably tired in the finale and more or less lost her script towards the end but i still think she is(was) one of the favs to win the last SS title of the year. VA too
He Bingjiao's withdrawal I can understand, she's jaded, mentally and physically tired, a pale shadow of herself in the CHN Open with only flashes of brilliance - five tournaments in two months, the last three consecutively in Europe, her first such experience; during her junior days, she at most played four GPG/GP level tournaments a year, mostly in Asia. But Sun Yu ? Intanon Ratchanok, why ?
Btw,I 've read that Chen Long is going to withdraw from the HK Open and the following Dubai SSF as well even though he has automatic qualification as Olympic Champion.
She has a chance. Last year, Sindhu lost in round 2 of China Open and 1st round of Hongkong open. This year she won China open and she has to go till Semifinals of Hongkong open atleast . Nozomi okuhara also has withdrawn. So Sindhu has greater chance to qualify.
I read somewhere his injury was quite severe. the upsets have already hit the mark, Ko/Kim[1] lost in straight sets
Chan/Goh's game is still not solid enough. They lost tamely to the Koreans which was recently paired.
Ko/Kim, World No 1 was defeated in straight sets. Chung Man/Ying Suet's biggest win yet. I am very excited to see whether they can continue their momentum in futurre matches.
