today's results aren't very suprising.

couple of observation is that both Hendrawan and Taufik got stretched to 5 games. Taufik was a hair from losing the match at one point, forced to set while already down at 0-2. from some completely no namer.

also, Ra Kyung Min and Lee Kyung Won are both playing singles and playing with each other for doubles. and winning their matches as well.

Anupap had beaten Chen Yu in the round robin stage at the Asia Cup last year, although i can't think of any others.

I thought the scoreline for Marleve and Boonsak's match was quite surprising. I would expect Boonsak to put up more resistance than this. Taufik also said in The Star that he sees Boonsak as the strongest first singles in group B. Well.
