I suppose you're right, they gave their all to an important major event, and then immediately... Perhaps LD's announcement the other day that he's going to play until Rio is playing on CL's mind.
Tomorrow K.Srikanth vs Kazuteru Kozai.. It would be really interesting. Definitely, Kozai has the upper hand..
What a big letdown by Chen Long. If he doesn't pull himself up a soon as possible, the rut will do further damage to his career.
I don't understand all the fuss over Sun Yu; a very mediocre player overall, IMO. Chen Long...wow. I thought he was the one to take over from Lin Dan, but his temperament is proving to be very unimpressive. I guess the title is just as good as LCW's now. And what on earth is happening with the Indonesian MS?!
Very good display by H.S.Prannoy.. After 5-11 down in the third set, he came back to win the match..

Luckily some of the long matches were spread over different courts, otherwise it would be a big problem to the schedule.
Already told you guys thousands and millions of times: CNG is the BIGGEST EVENT of every CHN player's career....CL's is physically and emotionally exhausted lah, esp after Lin Dan just announced he will still be around Why you still ask eh?
Same to for Sun Yu, Chen Yuekun, Wang Zhengming's losses + the withdrawal of Li Xuerui, Li Gen/Zhang Nan. Don't fret though..all of you CHN-haters.....We still have the mighty Gao Huan, Han Li, Chai Biao/Hong Wei, Liu Xiaolong/Qiu Zihan, and even the little known Kang Jun/Liu Cheng & Tang Yuanting/Ou Dongni to bear the great nation's flag!
As for the INA MS shuttlers.....no hope once again as 3 of them crashed in the first-round! Rexy and Joko Suprianto must be having headache now!
