CHINA Open SS Premier 2012 : Day 3 (15th November) - Round of 16

Congrats Juliane.. You proved it winning in the straight sets.. 21-19, 21-18

[scorpion1]

sorry small correction. juliane won it by 21-18,21-18

[Justin L]

Despite the loss, Wang Lin played better than I expected. She has the strokes but no fitness to match. Had thought Soldier Schenk would win emphatically but it turned out to be a creditable one for WL.

[Justin L]

Chen Jin grinds down Hu Yun in G1,21-10. Don't expect the same in G2,Hu Yun is a fighter.

[scorpion1]

No idea why Ratchanok is not going for attacking game. she seems to be very slow in the courts. Her attacking smashes are missing here

[pathan]

okay I admit... some very wrong prediction for the day. Chen Jin is just about to destroy Hu Yun. Unless Hu Yun can save this G2.

[Justin L]

Liu Xing and LXR started off their international career at about the same time, both of them playing the final of the Asia Badminton Championship in 2010, won the LXR who eliminated Saina in the semi-final. Now they are practically worlds apart as far as results are concerned.

Intanon is a child prodigy, highly regarded by the CHN camp. She could use a break though, she has been playing virtually non-stop the past one,two years. It would do her a lot of good, recharge, regroup and fine-tune her game the better to scale new heights.

[scorpion1]

Ratchanok starter her magic strokes. Now 12-12

[Justin L]

G2 is much closer for Hu Yun, not over yet.

[pathan]

Kim Sarang is such a wonderful player... he just lost his doubles match in the men's category and now he's leading in the mixed. Wonderful stamina!!!

[pathan]

20-16 to Chen Jin... bye bye Hu Yun

[Justin L]

Don't get to see how Chen Jin played, the rallies don't seem long,only 26 mins for the match won.

[pathan]

Boe/Moe in action now... they're sure to have fun toying the Indian boys around.

[pathan]

CPS/GLY about to lose game one of Mixed Doubles... to tired Kim Sarang and partner. what a shame... Malaysians trailing 19-14

[scorpion1]

Come on Ratchanok.. Come on

[scorpion1]

On the other side of the branch, tomorrow, Li vs Li .. I meant Li xuerui vs Li Han. I go for Li han.

[scorpion1]

Ratchanok is toying the opponent
