One big smash from Xu causes chaos and MJ is able to push into the open space down the middle. CHN 19-18
Xu's smash is returned long by Nova. CHN 20-19 Nova pushes into the net. CHN 21-19 I think INA's chance to win might have evaporated with that heartbreak.
EXTENDED HOUR prolong the wake-up XD: INA - CHN 21-18, 19-21 yeap seems the 2 point miss will cost a match
Actually China do the matches fixing, BWF can do the players fixing in Oly 2012 ! this is the best way to penalise them ! i have a very smart way to ensure CL and Lin Dan to be placed in the same half ! i will suggest to BWF how to do it when near to the draws ! But I am not sure BWF dare to do it or not ?
China wins G2. It's a hard to say when INA is doing so well against formidable opponents, but I think Nova is suffering from a bit of lack of imagination in his shot selection-- compared to his usual inventive self. I'm off now, but predict that Xu and Ma (with those athletic legs) will win G3 handily. (Sorry Vita)
CHN are involved in 9 of the 10 matches in the SFs tomorrow but oddly none against each other. So we will declare Oct 29 "No Walkover Day". Fans will get their money's worth tomorrow.
Actually, I doubt so. The match was really a pity, all clears and lifts from LD, training, the man attacking was CJ! The first set was clearly a gift, the second one almost another, LD apologizing when scoring Such a weird match.
He was playing very defensive. His court coverage, moves etc were good, but he simply did not smash, even quite short clears... Several points turned into a clear routine, CJ taking the initiative the first. Too many easy lifts, too many unforced errors...
