I think ENG lost their best chance to pick up a point. If GER had won the XD, there's a strong possibility they win the match. JPN too strong in MD and WD I think
PSH having all sorts of trouble with Ouseph's style. Both like to take their shots early and execute lots of half smashes
Yup, JPN should win over GER, 4-1 or 3-2. KOR vs ENG, Park SH lost narrowly 23-25 at first game. Let's see whether Rajiv will steal 1 point here or not...
ENG levels 1-1, Rajiv Ouseph surprisingly stunned Park Sung-hwan, 25-23 ; 21-16. Doubtedly KOR will field Park in next match against strong team, DEN.
Japan leads 3-0 after their MD Hirata/Hashimoto won over Kindervater/Schoettler with toughly rubber games 21-16 ; 16-21 ; 21-15. Next, Eriko Hirose vs Juliane Schenk...
Juliane Schenk is really in good form for this tournament..........playing well against Eriko Hirose now !!
So far, ENG and GER are out. Next, THA - IND. THA should win and IND makes the early exit too. MAS - RUS. I don't think RUS can win all the XD, WD and WS so RUS will make the early exit too. And we already will have the final 8 by tonight.
