Tang JinHua suffered a bad injury during the training for the World Championship. She has not been the same ever since. Her scheduled debut with Tang YuanTing at HK Open was cancelled. Boa Yixin seems plateauing out. She looks disinterested when she plays.

However, Shi Yuqi, born 2/28/1996, after losing a close G1, 21-23, and taking the 2nd set, 21-13, couldn't get the better of the 24-yr-old Hsu Jen Hao in the 3rd, going out 21-13.
Too bad, He BJ is stopped by her senior Han Li in a 3-setter. The problem with Han Li is she's inconsistent, play well one day and mediocre the next. I doubt she'll go deep in this tournament.

Thanks for your input, you're probably right, he lost steam in the 3rd set after going all out in the first two sets. As you said, he failed to pace himself well, a lesson learnt.
