    Shida is absolutely useless today. Usually it's Matsuyama with all the unforced errors.

    What the heck are you talking about? All matches so far have been with straight games. Also, you find this boring? This is as fast paced and attacking minded as WD gets.

    Boring or not, I think we've to admit that JPN WD is becoming a dominant force at the rate they're going producing so many world-class pairs time and again.

    You've got a point, apart from Axelsen and Momota, my interest is only on HK and China players.

    Finally the MD and the last match of today. Hopefully it is not going to be like the first match of today.

    Ou Xuanyi is already 24 year sold, unusual for a CHN player that age to join the pro circuit not long ago. Where' she been all those years,I wonder.

    Perhaps the best chance now for the reunited and popular Indonesian 'veterans' to take the MD crown, Mohd Ahsan and
    Hendra Setiawan!

    While I'm not surprised by Hendra Setiawan's age of 33, Mohammad Ahsan being 30 already is.

    Please no, the wankfest from Indonesian fans on Youtube whenever Chinese players are beaten is awful.

    Yeah they want to score points without lifting the shuttles or long rallies. Stamina issues:D.

    I don't think they are all that fast, at least not compared to their younger years, they just anticipate the birdie much better nowadays.

    This China MD is decent, but the power is a bit lacking, isn't it ? I mean, usually the China MDs forte is their back attack, but today it's not the case i see.
