Now, India Open superseries is over. Let us shift focus towards Malaysia Open Superseries premier. Sindhu's first round is going to be tough. Chen Yufei is her opponent. Saina meets Akane Yamaguchi in first round. H.S.Prannoy vs Lindan in round 1. Wow. What an exciting next week !
Prannoy isn't battling injury? Prannoy would use Lin Dan signature against Lin Dan? Hilarious! To use enemy's weapon against itself. Ok cheesy! AY-NO are both keeping low key. NO isn't in her competitive mode yet, AY on the other hand is such a delight. Besides I hope Sindhu will be pumped up, yufei would be edged out! It would be fun to watch them! Saina's knee shouldn't be a problem, she had no constrictions in indian SS, guess mental prep is all indian contingent lacks.
Yup, slipped outta my mind, it's just that I happened to see that live telecasted. PP days, I wasn't even born.
She loves India, she gives India her due. She will have a following here! Already a lot of Indians on her social media streams! After saina-sindhu she is most respected and known female baddie.
I don't know for how many years, you will celebrate 19th birthday. Sent from my SM-G600FY using Tapatalk
The Olympic Champion Carolina Marin lost to better player in final, Sindhu has significant progress since won silver in Rio, more mature and good tactical player with accurate placement. This young lady surely is one of next generation to follow post Rio beside Marin, Tai TY, Intanon, Japanese duo Yamaguchi-Okuhara and Chinese prospect He Bingjiao, not sure about Sun Yu since she's stuck at the moment and has mental block to be world beater, she couldn't top podium in five finals along 2016. Sung Ji Hyun and Saina Nehwal may already pass their peak and seem tough to face WS fierce competition nowadays. Both Tai Tzu Ying and Ratchanok Intanon have natural talent, they're gifted how to demonstrate their high technical skill with disguising shots that really entertaining to watch like All England Final last month. Third time lucky for Viktor Axelsen as he finally coverted twice silver medals to gold this time, he's simply too strong for Chou Tien Chen who looked slower in final day and couldn't balance Axelsen speed and power. But its' still good start for Chou to open new chapter in this season, grabbed GER GP Gold title then All England semifinalist (only lost to eventual winner Lee Chong Wei) and runner-up here, we should see his next tournament in Kuching. Lu K/Huang YQ also Gideon/Sukamuljo defended their crown, beat their teammates with contrast fashion. The reigning All England Champion fought hard to defeat juniors Zheng/Chen in three games while The Indonesians had little resistance by Pratama/Suwardi in two quick sets. A new Superseries champion emerged yesterday, Tanaka/Yonemoto frustrated more fancied opponent Fukuman/Yonao, second time failure for the latter as they also lost in final last year to Matsutomo/Takahashi.
sung is always a tough player in high ranking. I think she's in good form. It's just it's not enough, she never can be the best
I believe there's still plenty left in SN, She'll only going to get better this year. And her match against PVS showed that yes she is moving well finally. Indeed SJH is a very good player, great physicality, great angle placemen and reach but yet some special sparkle is missing. What was the last big thing she won? Kor SS? TTY, RI, PVS, CM IMO will take share most of the titles amongst each other I guess. And AY maybe at Japan open. But trust me I won't be surprised if SN takes away at least one (Aus maybe)
top competition: tai, rat, marin strong opponents: akane, sun, pvs come back or not: saina, no, li underdog: he always underdog: sung
For me, with current situation, tai, sindhu and Sun yu as top tier players. Ratchanok, Akane, Nozomi, He bingjiao , Sung ji hyun are strong players. Sent from my SM-G600FY using Tapatalk
