2014 Yonex ALL ENGLAND SS Premier : Qualification & R/32 (4th & 5th March 2014)

Man, check out Sayaka's legs. I though I was looking at the ones on my dining table

 

Sayaka in Self destruct mode as the errors continue to pile up. 15-7

 

I guess I could procure some O2 from my seldom used ambulance.

 

Nicely set up by Sayaka. A tight net shot elicits a half court lift and BANG, it's over. BYJ 17-9

 

Gosh, almost like a reversal of G1. Sayaka on a mad chase to make up ground 14-19

 

Thanks to that Korean show, now I know what the cheers mean

 

Sayaka was patchy throughout the set, tending to go too much for her shots. A bit of patience to set up better shots would have helped. She needs to adjust her frame of mind.

 

Sayaka is pretty !

 

Looks like a serious drift coming from right to left. That clear from Sayaka looked miles out but curved back in nicely.

 

Kill in the net at 1-1 by Takahashi

 

Oh dear. Simple net kill and Sayaka butchers it. BYJ 2-1

 

Oh, what a recovery by BYJ. Almost Matrix-like in contorting her body to hit the shot and win the point.

 

Sayaka creates incredible angles. Kinda reminds me of Wang Xin in that regard

 

Not another upset, please

 

Sayaka seems to be dictating the play, getting to the bird a bit earlier and keeping BJY on the back foot.

Another around the back cross court drive gives her a 11-6 lead
