Chinese players are enjoying the home advantage very much. Hmmm

Remember how I said that many Chinese players are really at the same level as players in the top 20/30 from other nations? This is what I mean... They just don't get sent to many tournaments...

Home advantage plays its part. This is just 1st rount. Lets see , how it goes in second round

Is Tian Houwei's American opponent of Thai origin?

Such a pity that home advantage never seems to help Indian players...LOL!

Home advantage isn't a major contributing factor though, it's influence is minimal

Oh... wonderful !!! you came again...

Yuswandari makes yihan to run for money... Great to see such a play from yuswandari.

**scorpion1** · 11-14-2012, 06:26 AM

I pity yuswandari, despite playing brilliantly, she lost it. I wish Eriko Hirose for her second round match.

Wang YH isn't in fine form;she's not moving very well and not attacking the way we're used to seeing her do. I'm doubtful she can take this title.

**Justin L** · 11-14-2012, 06:30 AM

I thought Takuma has lost it,now he's fighting back. Gurusaidutt is a good player.

**undeadshot** · 11-14-2012, 06:34 AM

Playing at home can also add a whole hell lot of pressure. e.g. Saina Nehwal

**depleter** · 11-14-2012, 06:36 AM

wow!even guru is loosing....looks like LD rules is going to have a great day in PAW with a perfect 14 out of 14....@LD rules looks like you are already way ahead of me now...you also a have big pointer in wang lin

**LD rules!** · 11-14-2012, 06:36 AM

Playing at home is never a reason. End of.

Don't jinx me!

Playing at home is never a reason?????.. Wow.. What a psychology.. Great... Definitely here, its helping a lot to home players. I have never seen so many players before or heard. They are showing great show.. Lets see, how these unknown local players do in the second round. Real test goint to happen there.
