Unfortunately, LYD and some of CHN players withdrawn from this tourney due to injuries or NG preparations But its quite fortunate for Rian/Yoke as they get free ticket to round 2, though GeNit chance to sailing thru to at least SF also become wide open as DJ/YY as their biggest obstacle also withdrawn However, first round casualties seems like still inevitable for INA camp DeviL, Firda, MKY, Simon all may be eliminated today But i really hope the result would be the other way around, though Best of luck for all INA players, esp. for mbak jamu MKY I'm afraid if she lost to Wang Xin today, her WR will dropped even more to outside top 40
yap. furthermore, INA's coach said that they (WS players) are in really good shape physically, so i think this PAW is quite risky while WangXin won't decline to overcome the OG bronze medalist
yes, GeNit has greater chance to meet either Ma/Wang or Chin/Wong (beatable) in semifinal..... i put high expectation on those who possibly have early exits to win against each opponent as they have betta' preparation, hopefully they prove me right
