. We are almost finishing for Round 1. Managed to catch up reading all posts. Some interesting comments from our BCers. It's already 12:15am in Shanghai now, and this last match (Fu Mingtian-vs-Sayaka Sato) is still going on after 45 minutes. Looks like Fu Mingtian can win this match. .
Well done, Fu,it showed what a fighter you are for this titanic struggle,esp from 13-19 down you fought all the way to 20-deuce before losing it - must have given Sayaka a fright.
By mistake ended up downloading this particular match instead of an XD match for PAW purposes. And you know what he got a yellow card for? For allegedly crushing the shuttle he asked to get changed ... there was no temper tantrum of any kind at all, no hissy fits. He calmly picked it up after sending a smash return into the net and showed it to the overzealous ref who perhaps thought he tried to temper with the shuttle and got a yellow card for "misconduct" and was ordered to change the shuttle he asked to get changed in the first place. What a tool ... I thought our good friend tsae75 had seen or heard about "an incident"/outburst which in the past wouldn't have surprised anyone who has known of him for a longer time but turns out it was MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Much ado about nothing . That umpire must have been strict on any player tempering with the shuttlecock. .
