CHINA Open SS Premier 2012 : Day 2 (14th November) - Round of 32

[LD rules!]

lost with sindhu....did not pick a big pointer wang lin....It's been an average day for me

I'm sure you're still in the running, I'll slip up at one point!

[LD rules!]

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.

It's a PSS event, every round is a proper challenge.

Personally, I think home ground advantage is more psychological than real and it cuts both ways, some thrive on it,some are pressured by it. The Koreans thrive on it, the more so when they are the underdogs, another form of psychological advantage.

Say what you want about Chen Jin, but his defence is incredible.

Definitely, when people around you encourages you , you tend to do better and better and better. Underdogs dont have pressure kind of thing. They will try to be a hero in front of home crowd . It happened today for a lot of home players who are very well unknown to outside world. Real test gonna happen if they meet seeded players. Lets see how they perform.

Chen Jin is playing with a bit more intensity than I've seen him done for a long while but still nowhere near his best which he exhibited during the Pre-Olympic Simulation match with Lin Dan when he seemed to be transitioning to a more attacking than rallying player, if I'm not wrong. He says he's getting married after the China National Games early next year, hopefully that would give him the fillip to start playing better from here.

Elder sister Jiang YJ took G1 from Desi. And Chen Jin just lost G1, he's not back yet.

[CLELY]

Jiang Yanjiao won over Hera Desi, 21-13 / 21-15. Also Takuma Ueda through to R/16, next Ratchanok v Nozomi...

Ajay always did it even with Lee chong wei. But could not make it. Thats the problem.

[Justin L]

The 3x WJC, Inthanon R, who didn't play this year's edition( no point ) vs the current WJC, Nozomi Okuhara - should be interesting. I pick IR to win.

[Justin L]

Chen Jin still very much a rallying player, he is losing.

[Justin L]

Tommy is rallying better than CJ.

[scorpion1]

IR uses all her experience.

[scorpion1]

Tommy.. Come on.. Finish the match

[CLELY]

Ratchanok seals game 1 : 21-16.

[Justin L]

Chen Jin escapes and is back in business. Its going to be a long grueling match to see whose stamina is better.
