    I felt to pitiful for the USA XD who are practically being bulldozed all the way today. Sorry for them indeed.

    As expected for such a big tournament, most of the players haven't really settled in yet in their opening match. For example, Intanon didn't exactly dominate her Estonian opponent, winning 21-14 and 21-13.

    Wow all strong favorites haven't yielded any single game to their opponents. In Olympics, everyone so serious! :p

    But I am a bit worried for top MD pairs that are not performing well up to standard today against easy opponents too.

    The Surinamese making amateurish mistakes, giving away lots of free points.

    LCW treating it as an exhibition match, executing trick shots.

    At least the India MD lose his match with a close marginal score 18-21 against a good MD so I don't pity them that much.
