Well, as expected, Saina Nehwal beat Pia Zebadiah 21-19, 23-21. Pia was leading 11-4 at the interval of the second set and simply blew it She also had the chances to seal both sets, leading 19-18 twice and 20-19 in the second set
Watched she played in Superliga, Pia don't have weapon in critical points. Her smash so flat and weak, has playing style like "serve the boss". The statistics has showed it, no strange she lost to Sania after lead big margin.
amazing!! i can't believe it.. Ekaterina beat Telma Santos 14-21,21-9,22-20.. in the rubber set,she even trailing behind 14-20 but she save 5 match points & take 8 points consecutive to win it!
Robert Blair/Davide Lindley/ Eva Lee/ Hendri Kurniawan Saputra etc all have to play two matches within 5 - 6 hours . Roman Spitko play 3 matches a day (2 Single / One Double) What a crazy schedule
The Djarum pair of Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan has just taken the first 21-19, despite trailing 18-19. A good start since I expected them to lose.
Rendra Wijaya/Fran Kurniawan are through to the next round, after beating the 8th seed Johannes Schoetller/Tim Dettmann 21-19, 21-9. Meanwhile, the other pair of Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki is involved in a tight battle with Dean George/Chris Adcock, taking the first set 21-19.
Phew...it was such a close match as Rian Sukmawan/Yonathan Suryatama Dasuki eventually beat Dean George/Chris Adocok 21-19, 21-19. The crucial moment was at the point the ENG pair was leading 17-14 in the second set, when Rian/Yoke got a second win that let them win 6 straight pts and 3 match points at 20-17. The ENG pair won another 2 points before Rian/Yoke finished it off. Not a great start, but, it was definitely a relief that Rian/Yoke won!
Jo Novita/Greysia Polii have beaten the stubborn Indian pair of Khurian Shruti/Jwalla Gutta 19-21, 21-11, 21-14. They should have an easier time against the unknown ENG pair of Gabrielle White/Mariana Agathangelou. In the other match, Yulianti/Richi Puspita Dili are tied at one set all, with the SIN pair Shinta Mulia Sari/Vanessa Neo Yu Yan taking the first set 21-14 and the INA pair claiming the second one 21-15. Now on to the rubber set....
Sigh...Yulianti/Richi lost in the first match again, this time to Shinta Mulia Sari/Neo Yu Yan as the SIN pair won it 21-14, 15-21, 21-17.
