Ng KLA is one of the very few MS players I don't like at all well apart from being very boring he also has a tendency to do extremely well against Indian players (Only sameer has a positive H2H) I mean seriously its really difficult for MS players to bore you, even if they wish to. But this guy has copied TS soooo well intact the always dull and boring looking "SJH" face adds up to it
Qualifier Lee Jang Mi actually booted out Nozomi Okuhara. Seems to me, every now and then, one or other young up-and-comer will emerge to upset the more established player. So I won't assume that just because a supposedly strong tournament is without all the top or more established players, it must be a somewhat weakened one as a result. That may not be the case.
They just aren't on the same level, SYQ will win easy but yeah if not the scoreline the rallies can be interesting I like Phetraadeb a lot
ROUND OF 16 (10.00am) => https://www.tournamentsoftware.com/...48544D-A795-4401-9AFE-23A5532931B9&d=20170427 *Match Highlights : - Chou Tien Chen (TPE) v Ihsan Maulana Mustofa (INA) - Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk (THA) v Son Wan Ho (KOR) - Sayaka Sato (JPN) v Chen Yufei (CHN) - Pornpawee Chochuwong (THA) v He Bingjiao (CHN) - Ahsan/Saputro (INA) v Chai B/Hong W (CHN) - Huang KX/Wang YL (CHN) v Goh VS/Tan WK (MAS) - Chang YN/Lee SH (KOR) v Tanaka/Yonemoto (JPN) - Zheng SW/Chen QC (CHN) v Tang CM/Tse YS (HKG) - Jordan/Susanto (INA) v Choi SG/Chae YJ (KOR) Two Indian MS players were involved in gruelling battle yesterday and produced different outcome, Ajay Jayaram edged out CHN Masters winner Tian Houwei, 21-18 / 18-21 / 21-19 while Prannoy lost narrowly to 8th seed Angus Ng Ka Long. Japan underdogs are doing well to defeat their higher-ranked opponent but it's too bad all of them will take on heavyweight rivals today, Kenta Nishimoto has defending champion Lee Chong Wei, Kanta Tsuneyama gets four-time Asian Champion Lin Dan and Takuma Ueda will challenge reigning Olympic Champion Chen Long. Women's singles department saw the departure of 7th seed Saina Nehwal, this Indian jewel is still struggling to back into her best post knee surgery, eliminated by Sayaka Sato. The Japanese will see home rising star Chen Yufei for a place in quarterfinal, another Sung Ji Hyun-Sun Yu clash possibly will happen tomorrow if they defeat Nitchaon Jindapol and Lee Jang Mi respectively. The unheralded Lee JM surprised Rio bronze medalist Nozomi Okuhara at first round. All the favourites in doubles category sailed through into second round including MD Olympic Champion Fu HF/Zhang N who's back in action after eight months long break, they started campaign to down Indian combination Attri/Reddy and will meet Taiwanese duo Lu CY/Yang PH. Mixed doubles top-seed Zheng SW/Chen QC displayed shaky performance to beat Indians Chopra/Reddy, the Chinese will be tested by well improved HKG pair Tang CM/Tse YS.
Lee Chong Wei took the first set 22-20. I think he really hates playing JPN player in this tournament.
