2014 Maybank MALAYSIA SS Premier : R/16 & Quarterfinals (16th & 17 January 2014)

Bae is making errors too. But her face and bearing are calm and confident.
Yamaguchi making good points at time but not able to string any together to build momentum.

And now a challenge....

 

too bad lin dan didnt teach him some skill on acting,ouch,i drank too much cold water.

he is on 'fever' lol~~~

 

Don't forget, Bae YJ beat Intanon at the HK Open in two straight sets, 21-14 and 21-13 last Nov, about two months ago.

 

yeah go to blame Malaysia newspaper to write a fake report claiming CL is with fever.

Akane, buck up please! Let's not run the risk of Bae winning, WSX beating Nichaon, and having Bae face WSX when WSX has a 10-0 H2H advantage over Bae.

 

Challenge accepted

 

BYJ is a great defender. She never give up something like that..

 

Whatever you throw at BYJ, she will run run run and get that and return you back.. What an athlete...

 

Lovely - Bae will be making it through. Let's hope Nichaon can stop her in her tracks. I saw Bae's match against LXR at the recent Worlds, and Bae was absolutely hopeless against Li.

 

Against Bae YJ, if you don't have a penetrating attack nor able to outsmart her at rallying, then you're in trouble.

 

Endo/Hayakawa quite 'brutal' in this MO.
So far they just give their opponents 25 points max.

Where is MR. Never say wrong?

 

Right here hehe. Except, wasn't wrong in this thread, as I never said she would definitely win - I said stuff like "probably" or "I think so" etc. Hehe. Still, a quarterfinal appearance at a Premier Superseries is still good points gained in her run to becoming top 10 by year end!

 

XC/MJ just got the 1st quite easily 21-12.

 

I do wonder who will win the WS match. NJ is a good player and each time se has met WSX it's been a close 3 setter.

 

WSX with a slight edge right now. 16-13.
Kento and Jan O will very soon play.

 

The battle of hairstyles : JOJ against KM

 

What's so unexpected about Yao Xue beating Wang Yihan just now when she had trounced Juliane Schenk at the CHN Open SSP, 21-7 and 21-11, and yesterday booted out Saina Nehwal ?

And what ranking points must she defend at WR25 where last Year's MAS Open was a GPG and as runner-up she earned 5950 ranking points? Here at the MAS Open SSP, had she lost to WYH, she would still have 6050 points.

 

I didn't expect Greysia/Nitya lost so tamely to Miyuki/Reika

But so far, Greysia/Nitya is quite consistent (at least be Quarterfinalist in many tournaments)

 

She was runner up MO superseries last year lost to TTY in final.
Malaysia open SS runner up point is 7,800 point.
