Really impressed by India's young male players. They are probably the best crop of male single players in the game right now, bar China. One thing for sure, they need more exposure and less pressure (by the media). It will be interesting to see how they mature and peak. Malaysia had (or maybe still has) an equally talented batch of young players who did extremely well recent junior events (Arif, Iskandar, Loh Wei Sheng etc) but still no breakthrough. Their junior double players are more accomplished then anyone else. Promise is one thing but the ability to win big matches and titles consistently is another thing. Chima virtually has no track record in junior badminton and yet they can breakthrough easily. More impressively still, they are able to win big matches and titles consistently. They need to share this formula with everyone to make things interesting.
Indeed, there're 5 home MS who advanced into last eight and 1 semifinal ticket has been secured through Jayaram v Pawar, they're really doing good here, looking forward to next tourneys. For INA viewers, MNC Sports 2 (channel 102) will broadcast LIVE from quarterfinals onwards.

It seems that she came up with a game plan to tackle her. but let's see how she performs in the second game..
She was the girl Gopi actually predicted that she has potential of top 20.. top 20 in 2011... Just when she is rising and entered top 100,she got an injury in the eye last year just before Uber cup I think...
