    I am not underestimating anybody. Fortunately in WS, all the 8-10 non chinese girls have equally potent and lethal game. Good for the sport.

    Kim/Kim very impressive. speed, power, good old Korean style fast and furious attack. Japanese boys have no answer.

    Rat is indeed the most promising future WS for me. Grabbed 3 Junior World Championship, and now she is already inside top 10 senior world ranking.

    I don't think Juliane will get past Ratchanok. Rat has improved her game multifolds.. Her unorthodox strokes makes her unique player of her age. Lets see how she performs against world's most fittest women's singles player today..

    I will. Thanks for the concern, hon.

    It's a pity "grandma" isn't in the same half as Nehwal, or else Nehwal would be "crushed" tomorrow instead of on Sunday.

    Yeah i agree. Today shixian played really good game. Both saina and shixian looked equal some times. but Shixian lacked to retrieve the body smashes which meant nearly 10 points in the match. I love shixian's fighting spirit and style of moving on court..

    I know. She's been inside top ten from March 2012. And she just keeps going better and better. Another contender other than SAINA to breakthrough CHN WS domination.

    KIM/KIM is on a good phase to finish END/HAY 20 - 13

    Saina almost defeated herself in the last game! She needs to be able to focus on the moment. In fact, both players made a lot of silly mistakes in the last game (the last half of which is all that I managed to watch :( ). I guess the tension of knowing this match was a big one in the context, got to them...

    Nah! I think rat is one of those who actually troubles her and the last three results actually shows it..

    If you could bear with the dismal results of the Indian players since the dawn of time, I'm sure I'll be able to manage. ;)

    Yeah.. Once in an interview, she said about saina and Ratchanok that these two players are carrying a 'special spirit' with them in any tournaments. Thats really true.. But juliane had much trouble with Saina..

    KOR boys after winning the first game, lost a bit of focus. JPN leading 3-1.

    It will be Juliane's graft and fitness v Rat's talent and canniness

    The Dragon as expected once again exhibited true mastery, switching modes at will, either a rallying game to win by a small margin or go on the attack to thump his opponent, magnificent.

    Cool down .... This is not about throwing words against each others.. I really believe whoever is stronger on that particular day, they will win. Definitely, badminton is not india's sport. China is superpower in that for many years. So, there is no need to target ' indian players ' to cool yourself...:)
