Nice down the line smash by Sayaka. Saina 3-2 Sayaka looks like she's permanently on some energy drink. Kinda like the Russian Vislova, they're always twitchy and bouncy
Poor Ratchanok. It was Saina just 3 days ago, and now she is facing Sung Ji Hyun in the opener. No wonder she is so tired.
Just read the story that Firda is crying while being wheelchaired out of arena and the spectators are clapping for her....... Must be emotional atmospheric.............
I could be sued to say it's mine. . You guys are always free to use it as well, lol. Ah, not really quite a bad first day for INA team I guess.
I guess all the CHN players after the high of the TUC, probably had a week of celebration and rest and recreation, so cannot yet tune their minds and bodies back to competitive conditions - need more time to settle in.
