Aswini seemed to have improved a lot. In WD also, she moved ahead of another higher ranked opponents.

when it says TV location 1 and 2, does it mean it's somehow possible to watch these matches? I really want to see Ajay's match. I mean, isnt there just one stream? or can you switch somehow? A german channel maybe?
Liu Cheng was the Mixed Doubles AJC and WJC Champion with Bao Yixin back in 2010. He is a back-court player. He is know for his superb jumping smash ability and he is good in controlling the pace of the game. He is 21 years old.
Tommy prevails, 21-19 and 21-7. Next, his opponent should be Ajay unless Riichi Takeshita could upset the Indian.
It was a painful defeat for Mohd Ulinnuha/Ricky Karanda Suwardi as they squandered a 5 pts lead at 7-2 in the third-set and was leading all the way till the end. But the English pair of Chris Adcock/Andew Ellis simply refused to give up and they ended up taking the nail biting third-set 27-25. The INA pair really needs to focus on their attack and defense. Several times they couldn't even kill the bird despite smashing it for many many times, only ended up with the bird being killed by the English pair in the counter-attack. Defense wise, the English pair is also better and they were really up for it, keep motivating each other after every pt (won or lost).
I like Adcock/Ellis's never-die spirit. They simply refuse to buckle under pressure and manage to frustrate the INA pair with their speed and attacking play.
Schnaase comes from 19-14 down to 20-18 down and then takes the second game 22-20 . Match goes to a 3rd deciding game.
Yet another Indonesian lost a set when already leading 19-14. Sigh.....these problems will never disappear.
First impressions of this Japanese player...he looks a bit emotional with his body language. Sharp and confident at the start but once he went behind the shoulders slumped a bit and he kinda lost his sharpness...looks like he's got it back together now. Unfortunately for him the badminton europe stream has shortened his name to TAKESHIT on the scoreboard
Aprilia Yuswandari finally makes it to R16, taking the rubber-set 21-15. Gebby Ristiyani Imawan/Tiara Rosalia Nuraidah also had to go through 3-sets before taking the match. They will have a tough task of beating the top-seed Misaki Matsutomo/Ayaka Takahashi, who has yet to be beaten by INA WD pair lately.
Schnaase was leading 11-8 at the interval, don't know that happened but she got thrashed when they went back on court. Well played Aprilla Yuswandari
Wisnu Yuli Prasetyo is doing well now, leading Chou Tien Chen 13-8. It will be a very good result if he can progress to R16.
Any lead is simply not safe if it involves INA players. Once again, Wisnu and Bona/Afiat lead a comfortable lead slip away.
