Yeah, what a coincidence...Btw, the individual event will be started on 03.30pm local time. Shon Wan Ho gets free ticket to next round due to Kenichi Tago withdrawal. ts.link for today's match -- http://www.tournamentsoftware.com/s...FC3D0F-DED0-4C32-80D7-72833082FABE&d=20091211
Watching Sayaka, her movement is so exaggerated. Almost to a fault. Not very smooth. She's giving Xia all she can handle though
Sayaka wins 21-19. To the rubber. Xia's net play is quite sharp but she's been caught several times at the back.
haha, you describe her with 'mechanical'? LOL. The first time I saw her on TV was the final she was playing against Maria Febe (I forget which tournament). She totally controlled the whole match. She was not tall though.
Kenta Kazuno/Kenichi Hayakawa beat Cho Gun Woo/Shin Baek Cheol in rubber-sets and they will now face the top-seed Chen Hung-Ling/Lin Yu-Lang for a place in the last 4. This should be an interesting match.
The top-half of MD looks very interesting. Zhang Nan/Chai Biao should await the winner between Chen/Lin and Kazuno/Hayakawa in the SF. In the bottom-half, Kwon Yi Goo/Kim Ki Jung will have a tough match against Noriyasu Hirata/Hirokatsu Hashimoto. The other match will pit Tsai Chia-Hsin/Hu Chung-Hsien against Tao Jiaming/Sun Junjie.
