Wow,Wang Shixian playing like Intanon, a masterclass display of artistry, maybe even better ! - what more can I say.
Usually as the underdog with nothing to lose, you can throw caution to the wind and play with wild abandon - that's what CWF is doing now. Fantastic match so far.
Chong Wei Feng really played like a top 5 player in moments of the first game. Unfortunately he isn't able to keep up the intensity. I think being able to keep the intensity for the whole match is what shows the gap between LCW, LD and CL and the rest.
Yup, really impressive performance by Wang SX, seems she's back to top form. Indeed, Chong WF played brilliantly at game 1, too bad he didn't do it in game 2, outplayed by Chen L.
