I don´t think this reason for WO is accepted by BWF so he probably has to pay some sort of fine, or what do you guys think?
[MENTION=119467]opruh[/MENTION] Yes, good matches coming up! Shixian vs Saina Both girls are playing extremely well, on paper 50:50. My loyalties are with Saina and yours are with Shixian. Against a Non-Indian player I would support Shixian like against Marin. I can't predict the outcome of this match. I just hope Saina wins, India needs one so much.
Expecting the Richard Gasquet of badminton not to choke in a SS QF/SF is akin to expecting Richard Gasquet not tochoke in a GS QF/SF..... Lets hope PK proves me wrong for the 4th day running, but if I had to put my money I would have put it on his opponent even if he was 20 match points up in the 2nd game.
Tomorrow it is going to be Kento vs Kashyap. I don't think Ginting can beat Kento . Kento is strong mentally not like Srikanth.
He has beaten CL before and has been in multiple SS SFs before..... Justifying his hype would have been a steady top 5 spot/WC wins or medals/good performances in TC/SC..... So far his career's been like Vinod Kambli's
Kashyap will be 29 this September.... This is his 10th year on tour.... He is a former top 10er (will be back again probably)..... He has made multiple SS SFs in his career (and lost every single one of them, many after winning 1st game and leading at 2nd game interval)..... This is his 2nd SF this year infact.
Nothing new.... He did this last Oly cycle too, same venue in 2012 (back then Kashyap was ranked #20 something and CL was already #3); piping Jayaram to the post..... Probably HSP's high Rio chances are firing him up this time.
My knee is in the same condition as Endo´s since 2 weeks and I know how hard it is to resist playing, but he should give up.
I think WSX will join her BF and enjoy the weekend together in Indonesia.... Maybe they will visit a beach tomorrow while Saina battles Rats (May if you are offended)
