SN accuracy is not very good. not pushing WYH far enough into corners. and then when she tries. lifted it wide. WYH not exactly comfortable. she has quite a few hard retrievals but she keeps on going like a energizer bunny. SN not sure can keep up with such pace.
ops. SN dispute line call. that's a close one. shown on replay. can be in or out. hard to judge. but then this is China and Olympics year. we can never trust the linejudges.
SN smash down the line. camera a bit far. but it looks slightly out. she is not happy with the call but smile it away. WYH leads 11-3 into interval.
In court 1, CJ - HKV 21-16, 5-4 and in court 3 ZN/ZYL lost 18-21 to XC/MJ, seems now is CX/MJ's turn btw WBF only streams court 2
SN coach has this worry face all the time. has been like that since beginning of match. looks like she is really worried or something.
Wang Yihan beats Saina Nehwal 21-8 / 21-12. SN never really got into her rhythm while WYH just walked in firing in all cylinders from beginning to end of match. faster, more consistent and better fighting spirit. Saina making got pushed from one corner to another and never really managed to retrieve much of the shot with confidence. focus and judgement seems to be a bit of often leaving some shots in by inches.
