    Good idea, too; it's more hygienic and less likely to cause acne. I noticed earlier that WSX is getting spotty all over her forehead and defiling that lovely milky complexion; the poor dear looks like she could use a tube of B.P. Utilizing a bacteria-ridden towel will do that to you. Sindhu has the same problem; spots all over.

    Precisely, and there were so many wonderful rallies, near-impossible retrievals, fast and furious exchanges, entertaining and exciting to watch - on the whole, a first-rate WS match at a level one would expect from players of their caliber.

    True badminton fans will want to see and judge the match for themselves, rather than content to take others' words for it.

    Line judges in general has become better as a result of instant video review. Incredible.

    Using the Hawk-Eye instant review system is really such a good thing as otherwise we may have to depend on the 'cock-eye' of some linejudges.:p:D With this Hawk-Eye system, the linejudges are being judged as well, indirectly, compelling them to do a better job. Kudos to the Hawk-Eye system.

    Fischer Nielsen looks like he's about to pop an artery after every rally, which is kind of refreshing after all these stony Asian expressions. :p This has been a very good tournament for Europe, which can only be good for the sport. Now let's see whether it will also be a good event for lovebirds. ;)

    And players who know they have recourse to the Hawk-Eye system will feel more at ease and assured of fair play. I just hope it is much more widely used but the cost of implementing it is indeed a deciding factor.

    be fair, the winners are the line judges.
    hawk eyes is just the machine to confirm that.

    Not a bad idea, each winner and runner-up gets to keep the trophy, nice.

    LYB will be watching Chen Long's form in preparation for the upcoming Thomas Cup.

    Extra pressure for Chen Long to win this.

    If Chen Long wins this one, will he give flowers to WSX???

    I'd like to see Chen Long inject more pace suddenly, have more variety in his shots, and not rally too much.

    Not a good start for CL, tentative.
