Unfortunately, while they managed to salvage G2 21-15, Yi Liu & Shinta failed to capture the decider, which the Germans won 21-18with more smash winners 9 against 5.
Surprise, surprise! Who would have thought that SIN Robin Gonansa could have beaten the more experienced SWE Henri Hurskainen 23-21, 21-11? Hopefully Robin can present us with more surprises later! So Ashton and Robin still have a chance to move forward in MS.
Problem for Sindu is that when angered, LXR can turn on a much bigger fire as she did recently against German soldier.
Ashton is well on the way to becoming Singapore's MS1, surpassing Derek if the latter is not working hard enough.
I recalled Lu Lan was the first person to beat LXR just after the LOG, yet till now she's nowhere to be seen and not called back to the CHN Nat'l team. What's wrong with CBA and LYB, don't they have eyes to see that anyone who can beat LXR no matter what form she(LXR)'s in must be champion material? Even some of us at BC can understand this. I say, Tian Houwei's mother is wrong when she said to him after his spectacular defeat of Lee CW:" Just one match doesn't prove anything. Continue to work hard".
I wait to see the match Pornpawee Chochuwong vs Thulasi P.V. Pornpawee's just 15 . Love to see 5 Thai Ws in top 20.
Nope, I dont think she's unbeatable but I do think that she can beat SN and Sindhu way more times than SN or Sindhu can beat her... And the fact that LXR has started collecting major titles and has more than SN and Sindhu already ? When it comes to titles, people tends to look at the bigger ones compare to the normal SS or GP titles.. So unless SN or Sindhu get a few major titles or people outside india will forget about them once they retire or maybe they can be like LCW, get many many many many titles and stay in WR no.1 for many many many many many many months, get feature in many many many many finals of major tournaments.. That way, people will remember him
Do you really want to know the answer? Even "god" is beatable sometimes. The so-called four "heavenly kings/gods" were beaten from time to time. WR1 LCW was beaten by low-ranked youngster from China not too long ago .... So did LD .... Do you now know the answer? And LXR has been beaten a few times before. Surely you are aware of that...
As dieter_spath said, LYB didn't set any targets for Team CHN at the INA Open and this tournament just as he didn't for the AE'13. I noticed that ever since CHN reached the pinnacle with a clean sweep of golds at the LOG,he's been like that and none of his charges who flopped at the early rounds got reprimanded even. That's just as well.
dont think she's unbeatable but I do think that she can beat SN and Sindhu way more times than SN or Sindhu can beat her. -- Were you astrologist to know everything in the future..Lol..
Interesting... Wisnu lost many consecutive points to japanese after having a huge lead and losing the set finally.. 21-14. lol.. Riichi seems to be a good player..
Meanwhile the second round of the qualifiers has begun. Now who will advance to the main draw. Some are lucky to get walkovers.
It seems to be like thailand players has withdrawn and has given walkovers to their second round opponents.. Loh, Do you know the reason for the same??
