Her new coaching regime and her shoulder injury + absense of coach vimal kumar etc played a huge set back in this match. Vimal kumar has many plan B which will be useful for saina . That happened in All England when she met yihan and sun yu. No problem. No difference between these two now. I am hoping for the future encounters which would be much more interesting.
And congrats to Carolina Marin. She has proven herself in becoming one more problem for the Chinese to handle. I think LXR will be fully prepared for her tomorrow strategically.
It will be on here in approx 35 minutes at a guess. Depends how long the Luo's take to win http://new.livestream.com/bwfbadminton/sspkualalumpur2015court2
I'm a little bit like LXR in the fitness department... giving early signs of fatigue by way of body language but someone able to muster enough energy to keep going. It reminds me of her early days, especially when she was playing WYH in the Olympic final in London where from part-way through the second game onwards, I kept thinking 'she's spent, she doesn't any energy left' but she kept plugging away and got her reward for it. Congratulations also go out to Saina for her efforts though. She gave a good go of it having played all the way to the finals and won in the India Open just the week before.
I wouldn't make such a prediction in all fairness to LXR. But it is understandable that such comments come from you.
