Tired but losing her way in constructing the rallies.marin is really mentally strong...TTY seems to be too tired
Wow, just when Boe and Mogensen start to ease up on their 'dirty' tricks and tactics, up steps Carolina Marin and takes their position as most unpleasant player to watch (in my opinion, of course). Not that she plays dirty but all that screaming around is incredibly annoying. If I were in that arena, I'd rather spend my time listening to music and dozing off than watching that. Holy hell, I applaud Morten for his calm manner in mentioning those screams.
That being said, CM playing that well is quite good for Spanish, and by extension, European badminton.

Marin is impressive. She will make the final. Li Xuerui may get a run for her money.
I think it's quite normal that the player who won the 1st game then narrowly lost or failed to win the second often allowed the incident to affect their mentality negatively whereas conversely the opponent who escaped defeat would feel relieved and go on to play more freely, and perhaps more motivated, in the 3rd. I supposed that's what happened in the Tai TY - C Marin match; otherwise I'd expect a tighter score as they were evenly matched as evident in the first two sets.
