Good to see (on paper though) Cheng Shao Chieh back on court, but what was the reason for her long absence? Was she injured?
second seed in WS is out now.. [TABLE="class: ruler matches"] [TR="bgcolor: transparent"] [TD="align: right"][TABLE] [TR] [TD="align: right"]Thulasi P. C.[/TD] [TD][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD="align: center"]-[/TD] [TD][TABLE] [TR] [TD][/TD] [TD]Nichaon Jindapon [2][/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE] [/TD] [TD]22-20 21-19[/TD] [/TR] [/TABLE]
She's lost in the first round of the singles. Must be injury problems before. She hasn't played much in tournaments for 6 months.
Yeah, the unseeded IND WS sent Jindapon early exit here. Yup, next round their opponent most likely CHN Yu/Huang.
Thulasi beating Jindapon in R1 must be an upset, well done for Thulasi. Huang Yuxiang knocking out Chan Yan Kit suprised me somewhat, so too Qin Jinjing disposing of Pai Hsiao Ma, the 4th seed, more so.
This scorline does not reflects Hu Yun's potential.. Must be something wrong to him.. I know how he will play.. I have been following his matches for months.. Definitely, he must have got some injury or something...
Indeed, a demolition job by Guo Kai on Hu Yun. I'd always thought Hu Yun is esp dangerous when he is fresh and fit in the early rounds of a tournament, particularly when he didn't play the week(s) before. Too bad, no livestream, can't tell what happened.
Another upset of sorts, Kento Momota unexpectedly beaten by Hsueh Hsuan Yi. In my opinion, TPE players generally are capable of springing surprises now and then.
Wei Nan takes G2, 22-20, to force the decider, he's a tricky opponent. Xue Song has learned how to deal with him but for Tian Houwei, he is a new, unfamiliar player, with his tight net shots and stinging smash and his reluctance to lift the shuttle as much as possible.
