CB/HW off to a very good start. I'm convinced they can beat anybody in the world when they play their best.
A total blitzkrieg so far from HW/CB. They must've worked exclusively on their serve, return, 3rd shot for their latest training camp because they have improved tremendously in this area.
Me? You? Half of the tournament players and most of the recreational players out there? Hopefully the language coming from ML when she messes up is more polite than that what might be heard in my vicinity.
SanDra are through to the QFs but not exactly without a hiccup. Korea's LDK appears to have got his game together this week. Good news for their country's MS stock. WZM is still in the tournament! Saina's managed to muddle through so far. Tomorrow will show if she's got it together or not, against the possibly most consistently fit WS player of the past 3 years.
Rian Agung Saputro/Angga Pratama beat Chai Biao/Hong Wei in 3 tight-sets (esp the last two) 8-21, 22-20, 21-19. They were trailing 10-14 in the rubber-set but thankfully, managed to salvage the set and eventually the match. This is a positive result for them and a preview for the Thomas Cup possible encounter in MD2 perhaps? Rian/Angga will now meet Hiroyuki Endo/Kenichi Hakayawa for a place in the last 4. They won in the last encounter at the India Open SS 2013.
the way that yuan ting tang wind up for an overhead shot is just beautiful, the stance is perfect everytime.
Why doesn't Sudket challenge?
