Daren seems to be more fresh ... but doing some *** mistakes himself... just as we do... and Varma is trying hard...
Vaido, you're watching? I'm quite interested in these two players' playstyle. Any comments? Come on Daren! Keep focused!
Update Maria Febe Vs P.V. Sindhu 19 - 21 1st set won by Indian WS Liew Daren Vs Varma 19 - 16 ; 3rd set. A good sign from Daren
Liew Daren won 15-21; 21-14; 21-18! What a comeback! Never would have guessed it with his stamina! Another tough match later against Chan Yan Kit...
As feared, bad starts by INA players, all losing in the Qualifying matches so far. Very disappointed by the loss of Fran/Shendy. They ought to do better As for Firda and Febe (who's currently losing), pretty much expected.
Daren Liew VS Chan Yan Kit for the ticket to main draw, only to face Chen Jin in 1st round... WALAO!!
Haha, thanks. Thank goodness (for Hye Youn) her match lasted only 34 mins. She's not known for her stamina, haha.
IMO, Liew Daren prefer a loss against Chen Jin rather than Chan Yan Kit, If he must choose between the two..
I'm not sure who is coaching him now, but he has not been able to play his best consistently. Something is lacking. His stats against Anand Pawar in this match: Anand Pawar vs Zi Liang Derek Wong Match 16 Smash winner 11 3 Net winner 0 22 Clear winner 20 1 Other 2 8 Most consecutive points 4 3 Game points 0 75 Total points played 75 42 Total points won 33 Game 1 21 Score 19 7 Smash winner 5 0 Net winner 0 13 Clear winner 13 1 Other 1 3 Most consecutive points 3 2 Game points 0 40 Total points played 40 21 Total points won 19 Game 2 21 Score 14 9 Smash winner 6 3 Net winner 0 9 Clear winner 7 0 Other 1 8 Most consecutive points 4 1 Game points 0 35 Total points played 35 21 Total points won 14 Looks like Derek has to learn to be more aggressive when opportunity arises.
At last, Febe lost straight set against Sindhu... Another INA players has been sent home as early as qualifying round.
