TOYOTA GAZOO RACING Thailand Open 2023

What a great point at 14-15 of the second game. Both Srikanth and Weng went head to head with Weng playing a string of good shots to close the rally

 

Which one is more important? SIN or INA Open?

 

Only watched second half of second game but if this wasn’t an Olympic year, I think you could try and argue Shi YuQi wasn’t trying to win that match. Far too many unforced errors and no pace of movement whatsoever.

 

Wow, Kiran George beats Shi Yuqi. He was down 17-20 in second game, clinches 5 successive points to win the match. I felt at 17-19, shi Yuqi shuttle went out, KG went for a challenge but challenge option wasn’t available in ct4. Very good result by him.

 

Indonesia and thats after Singapore. So players are skipping or not overexerting themselves now

 

Update;
Kiran George shows the exit to SYQ. Damn

 

Sameer Verma couldn't handle Magnes Johannesen. The latter was just too good.

 

A good win for Saina. I didn't know she is still playing.

Already 5pm (evening) and only at match 11-12 of 20… this will go way pass midnight.

minions match 20 and by then BWF will cut its live stream.

 

For those who knew what this link use to be …whatever happened to

?

 

Yes, very strange. It is 10 pm. in Thailand now, and still 5 more matchs to go in court 1. Feels bad for the players. Minions will probably finish playing at 3am

 

just praying BWF doesnt cut their live streams
ALL the MD matches are 16-20

 

I am not that concerned about BWF livestream, more concern about the players ability to play well in the following days
It is bad for players who don't sleep late that the schedule disturb their sleeping habits. I think Marcus is one who sleep early
It may be bad for umpire too if they are not used to late night, it could affect their judgement

 

Omg! How did SYQ lost? I dint get to watch the match, did something happen?

 

Hi....but ....how

 

Many people feel that the match was 'fixed'

 

He looked like he was taking it easy most of the game, a few simple mistakes but physically fine. My only theory is he wants to bomb out and then go for the Singapore Open title, that's a Super 750 v this one Super 500. More ranking points and prize money but risky thing to do with his history

 

Those bettors?

 

Can't help thinking how easy it is for a badminton pro to make money from betting. Just use some friend to pick the money
