Too bad BP was beaten in straight sets by WZM, 10-21 ; 5-21. What a one way traffic. I rally miss BP action on court..
Did Wang Yi Han just lose? How dare she do that when I am out of the stadium and no chance to take pictures of it!
Chen Long through, battling hard to defeat Rajiv Ouseph, 19-21 / 21-10 / 21-14. And at adjacent court his girlfriend lost first game, 16-21.
chen long and rajiv have much in common. big frame for MS and both like to rally hence the looong matches that both have had with each other.
It's quite long time that Lee Yong Dae didn't play XD, let's how far he can progress here with new partner Lee So Hee...
Another second round losing after last week CHN Open for Wang Shixian, 16-21 / 21-9 / 15-21. Liu Xin will be the last hopeful for CHN in this SS who will meet either Mitani or Porntip tomorrow.
What a tight first set in the mixed doubles game between Fuchs/Michels vs. LYD/LSH. Meanwhile the young Dane Axelsen won in straight games over Brice Leverdez with 21 - 7 / 21 - 14
Wang Zhengming after avenging his defeat on K Momota yesterday, today tamed Boonsak Posana. By right, that should be a good sign but knowing WZM, it's hard for me to say how far he'll go here.
Wow, congrats to Tee Jing Yi for defeating Wang Yihan (2) 21-19, 14-21, 21-15. Liu Xin did well to dispose of compatriot Wang Shixian (1) 21-14, 9-21, 21-15. And as pointed out, she remains the only WS from CHN to continue the fight. Earlier Sun Yu, who many thought is a good prospect, lost to Nozomi Okuhara of Japan, 21-18, 20-22, 21-16. She missed the chance to win in straight games.
My 'why oh why' isn't so much a question as an expression of disappointment, frustration and inability to understand her.
BP is a disappointment. Somehow he seldom fares well against CHN players. But he did beat Gao Huan convincingly 21-11, 21-16.
