2014 Li-Ning BWF WORLD Championships : Day-1 (25th August 2014) - Preliminary Round

I feel really strange that jamie subandhi got selected instead of beiwen zhang. Resultwise beiwen zhang is century ahead to jamie. Beiwen got injured? If not, I pity her.

way too many unforced errors from WZM. Was hoping he'd give LCW a good run, but there's no chance.

I suspect that is a residency rule as she has changed from Singapore to USA. So she might not be eligible for the competition this year.

Beiwen is not injured. Not sure why Jamie was selected.. But lucky for me - Beiwen will be playing in Dallas this weekend & I get to see her play..

its not available in the uk to watch live! oh no!

use a proxy

Is it just me, or is the shuttle travelling really fast here in Denmark?

Morten was saying that they must have changed shuttle speeds twice since this morning

 

[Justin L]

Wonder what causes LDK's nosebleed.

 

[OhSearsTower]

Disgusting lack of respect shown from Fernaldi as he lost his XD match. I see better attitude from junior players at club nights. This is the world championships.

what did he do?

 

[fauci]

What's going on with all these walkovers? What a waste of postions!

 

[*___*]

what did he do?

Watch the last half of the second game.

Excellent defence from Domke, Kashyao unable to win points with a single smash. Domke defended 3 game points before taking the first

I'm watching a replay of the Wei Nan vs Momota match and was wondering why nobody seemed to take care of those flashes that went off every 10 seconds

 

[DStyle]

Kenichi Tago is out too:



Sad :crying:

Like Cheung said, she is not eligible. Can be confirmed by BWF list of players http://bwfbadminton.org/file.aspx?id=570618&dl=1

Did they change the speed to be faster or slower?

 

[PinkDawg]

Tago was announced out before today. My guess is slower if the birdies were too fast

 

[CLELY]

The biggest upset of day-1 tournament is 13th seed Kento Momota stunned by Wei Nan, strong favourite Lee CW had good start to overcome Lee Dong Keun and will take on Dieter Domke in second round next.

 

[Fidget]

Watch Domke at 18-17 third game (at 1:14:01 here)

Even in the slow motion replay you can barely see his swing-miss-swing-hit shot. Wow.

saw that match live
a lot of great rallyes

very nice to watch and with the right outcome

Kashyap lost to domke for the second time. But this time it's tighter. So, he did not practice well?. He should come out of the winning celebrations and move on.

 

[Loh]

The match is not over yet.
