TOTAL BWF World Championships 2017 - Round of 64

Satwik/Maneesha too panic? Gave away lot of points in the business end

 

An interesting match between Chen Yufei and Pai Yu Po. Good technical skills between both players.

 

It will be an upset if Zhang/Li boot out so quickly from this tourney.

 

Chen Yufei looks tame at the start

 

R1 jitters, CYF ? Inexperience and self-induced pressure. Good to see Zhang Ning coaching

 

Wang/Huang straight domination in third set 12-2.

 

I won't underestimate Pai Yu Po

 

Livestreaming all disrupted atm

 

Just curious, why is Pai Yu Po playing here but TTY opted not to. PYP not eligible to play in the Uni games?

 

Sumeeth is a shipwreck man, get a grip. Moaning and shaking head and that body language.. aghh

 

CYF looks a bit stiff, playing mostly safe shots, still young at 19, can afford to be adventurous and experiment more

 

Thumped down 21-5 by Huang/Wang.

 

What's happening in G3 to Sumeet/Ponappa ? A lop-sided score, 21-5, won by Huang/Wang

 

CYF begin to get a grip on what to do while PYP commits mistakes.

 

Disaster avoided by Zhang/Li.

 

Drifted away from the tussle like a champ, big event hiccups couldn't stand a chance when she was warmed up

 

Well I think we can also turn the question around, why did Tai Tzu Ying choose uni games over World Championships.

Edit: Funny, the commentator just mentioned it. He said Tai was contracted to play the Uni games. So I guess it's just unfortunate schedule that they are being held at the same time.

 

Sorry, who's the co-commentator with Steen, he sounds familiar, I just can't recall his name?

 

Well she's 26+ now born April 1991, she might have done with her academics and hence not part of any University atm.

 

Contracted ? That means she's legally bound, obliged, arranged by her organization, not up to her.
