2011 China Open SSP: Round 1 Wed 23-Nov

In this match, CJ 's playing a la Chen Long or even Lin Dan,sometimes. He's a very dependable workhorse and spoiler for China.

 

I see,thanks for pointing it out to me.

 

Sometimes,I've got to hand it to Chen Jin, as stubborn as a mule;to win one point against him,you've to work your guts out.

 

Yet another gift from Hayom. Half smash wide. 16-10

 

Hayom defends a body shot into the net. 17-10

 

Goto v WYH about to commence on court 4

 

koo/tan survived "1st round exit phobia"...!!

 

Hayom has been disappointing to say the least. CJ is probably thinking how lucky he's been not to have expended much energy. Wins 21-14 in G2

 

Rumbaka exits, after Tommy earlier. There goes two of INA's hopefuls.

 

Trust me, it wasn't much of a match. The Indians lacked power, speed or strategy to test them. Wait for a legit pair to step up and see what happens

 

Having skills and weapons is really useless. Hayom tends to be lazy, couldn't read the game and doesn't move well. So frustrating watching his game.....so far such a waste of talent

 

Jiang Yanjiao, another dependable spoiler,much under-rated,should have more titles to her name, thanks,but no thanks to her colleagues, WX,WYH,WSX,including LXR recently(I remember their Thai Open Final encounter which confirmed my belief in LXR as a future shining star).

 

Up next Greys/Mel v the villains Cheng Shu/Pan Pan.

BEAT PAN PAN


(there, I said it)

 

Ai Goto is doing all right so far,10-6 up

 

I think more so due to her boss. She's never been in favour with him unlike a certain player with the initials P.P.

Check out JYJ's China Super League record against her peers–it's pretty darn good

 

How about cutting the girl some slack,she's not bad looking,you know? I thought you appreciate that.

 

You need to talk to Suetyan

 

Ai, go to the finishing line first, can you?

 

Goto is racing away from WYH 16-11

 

Petya fighting away Up 16-15
